What an amazing idea. I have a spare deck but no time today so will start during the week.

I love this idea - I have some tins of playing cards hidden away - not sure I have the time though - will have to think about it.

Love that date stamp that she used on the first card - anyone got any ideas where you can get them from (something else I NEED!):D

[Lynn Donnelly]

Thanks for this, now have ai got time????? I've got cards, got some tins from Tesco £1.99 I think to make mini books and decorate the tin, so could use one of those and the tin for something else.
I've seen that date stamp somewhere on a UKS sponsor site I'm sure - you'll have to ask in the sponsors forum Jo

[LMS17a]

Not sure where that stamp is from?!?!?

I'll do a thread on the Inspiration and Challenges forum, i think that's probably the best home for it, I'll do a link from this thread so that you all know where you are going !!!!

I'm using a set of old tarot cards, just because I have them lying around and just because I can !!!!!!!

right, off to do a thread in the right place, hang on ladies !

The date stamp is a Cherry Arte one. HTH. :)

This is a picture of the Cherry Arte's one. I saw your other posts trying to track it down. But I think you said this isn't the right one. They look very similar but I do have old eyes. :lol:

[jo.bee]

That one would do just fine - can't find anyone who has it in stock. A sponsor is getting some in next month and is giving me a shout. Looks like quite a versatile stamp as you can use the different elements of it - but I am soooo impatient - I WANT IT NOW!

[greyparrot]

The stamp Emily used is a fontwerks one, hth :)

I bought my cards yesterday and have been painting some so I have a little stack ready, our tesco don't do the ones in tins :( so bought some cheapy ones in wilko

[angelfish]

Are you all using ordinary playing cards? I saw this challenge yesterday and thought it looked fantastic. Definitely want to give it a go:)

[danyaz]

do you think it will look ok if i used some big playing cards, about twice the size of ordinary ones or use regular size ones.
i really want to do this.

[dotty_dotty]

think it is intirely up to you what size cards you use it's your journal

Scrapagogo had some calander stamps. Will have a go at this idea.
