EDITED TO ADD INSTRUCTIONS: I have punched my cards at the top in the middle so I can turn them into tags. I would like both sides decorated. My theme is friendship quotes and I would like you to use colours that are burgendies/creams (with perhaps toning colours to your theme). I am hoping to use the tags in a mini-book to make a small friendship book for a friend.

Mine are now having a theme A Little Tin Of Advice, hope that is ok.
You can use any colour, design and/or technique(?) that you want to try out, so just go for it. :lol: The idea is to have some words or a word of advice for life in general. Please leave the backs blank as I would like to add important photos and milestones to them over the years. I am going to find a suitable tin decorate it then I will give it to Ria when she is 18 or she leaves home! Please just include a piece of paper saying which card is yours so that I can write a letter to accompany the cards and let her know who has made each contribution. I've attached a pic of mine to give you an idea in advance. Thanks

oooooo... mine is Music and Composers... (guess who that's for???? :D)
have given this a lot of thought! Hope it's ok guys....
ok... top left hand corner - hole for bookring please.
theme... music - any kind that takes your fancy; classical, jazz, pop, classical guitar; anything except hip hop, rap or reggae please
or
composers - again whatever you like.. classical; popular; musicals.... your choice.
reverse doesn't have to be blank, but you can leave it undecorated if you'd like.

Signing in...EDITED* Mine will be a birthday reminder booklet - choose any month not already done and decorate in ANY style /design you fancy! just "surprise me" !!:D
*EDIT* Joy suggested I put this up here for you all to see ;)
just trying to remember what else you like other than horses and dogs....
....
Errrrrrrrr Ummmmmmmmmm Chocolate!! Some bloke that sings....wassis name...umm .. oh yeh Darren Hayes ... Wild country and garden birds ... the countryside....fave flowers are scented lilles ...there must be other things I like, but there are a few to get you going!
Even if I change the use to a birthday reminder book it would be lovely to have things I like on the decorated sides!

Not sure of a theme, I'll try to think of one!
Kirsti
30-01-2006, 11:20 PM
Sorry to be so late! I am hoping to use mine as a kind of "Birthdays Reminder" so please leave one side blank for me to list the birthdays for each month - as for a theme, would it be possible to do something to do with each month ? I'm struggling a little to understand exactly how this is meant to work - would anyone mind explaining it to me - slowly!!
Elsonbabe
31-01-2006, 06:58 PM
Ok, now everyone has placed an idea of what they want!! (Which we can edit as we improve our idea's)....Now you should have the cards, you need to decorate a side, as per instructions, and post it on to that person, so you'll post 8 cards out by the end:D.....Kirsti, for the birthdays I would suggest we each let you know which month we're doing, or perhaps you could have a general birthday theme, and you put the months on the bit you put on???......what would you prefer??
becslb
31-01-2006, 07:15 PM
quick question..... on a "normal" atc.. we put our details on the back and just decorate the front... where are we to put our details on our cards? :unsure:
TraceyJ
31-01-2006, 07:42 PM
Becca...as this isnt an actual ATC swap as such I don't think we need too....we COULD initial our decorated side so others don't forget who did which one???
I intend to use mine as either a birthday reminder book or as pages included with others in a mini BOM so i definitely need a blank side;)
Elsonbabe
31-01-2006, 07:51 PM
Hi Tracey, I thought you 'were' doing the bom, that's what I've been thinking on for you:D....just trying to remember what else you like other than horses and dogs:lol:....
initials on the front is an excellant idea....

Yeh, that's true....could you add your list to the intro post, them the others won't have to look all over for it...and yes I realise it's only on page one:lol:...and yes I did go up and check that it was page one!:P
I must admit, now we're going it's all I can think off...I really want to have a go at the challenge, and I was going to say haven't got three photo's, but don't need them do you! Doh...
terri
31-01-2006, 09:56 PM
Joy, do we know who to post them too?
Jac are you wanting any colour for your atc?
Kirsti
31-01-2006, 10:51 PM
Can I just see if I have got this right ?
I have received playing cards from Joy, now I need to decorate each one according to the themes we have each given (scheduled to be one card completed in time for each posting date) then ..this is where I get a bit lost...do I post one individual card to whoever it is for...or do I post all cards on to the next person so it goes round like a CJ?
Sorry to be a bit thick - brain must be playing up at the thought of getting another year older!!!

I was wondering the same thing actually, so its not just you and thankfully I now know its not just me! :lol:
I'm happy with any colour, design and technique(?) just go for it! :D

Oh this is gonna be so much fun!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
TraceyJ
01-02-2006, 10:49 AM
ok.....think of the cards as a mini CJ page. Decorate "ONE SIDE" in some way or another....fancy papers- images-rubber stamping-inks-paint etc etc etc on the other side...cover with a plain piece of card for the recipient to write on, either as a BOM mini journal or birthday date reminder list...so something paleish, cream, beige, white.
One thing I think we need to ascertain is how each of us is going to attach the cards together. I was going to use book rings....so holes need to be punched - either one in the top left corner...or 2 evenly down the left side (I haven't decided which yet!).
Decorating will need to be done "around" any fixing holes - would hate to have to punch through a gorgeous piece of design when it gets back to me!;)
There was an article in Scrapbook Mag about a mini BOM using playing cards...remind me later (when kids gone!) and i will look for it and scan it in if anyone hasn't seen it;)
As for the posting out bit....not quite sussed that yet....I'm working on it! :lol:
JOY...over to you!!!
MicheleP
01-02-2006, 10:53 AM
Thank you Tracey.
I will think about how to put them together too, then amend my initial post.
Sorry to be so thick!!
becslb
01-02-2006, 10:54 AM
Are we going to do as we did the tags? Decorate 1 in you own theme and then pass the cards on to the next person? (If so.. then fixing holes could be punched first) Or shall we work our way through the list and post 1 card to a different person (card in their theme) each month?
craftymama
01-02-2006, 10:54 AM
good point about the holes Tracey. I'm going with one in the top left corner then I'll either tie them with fibre/ribbon or use a book ring (just going to add this to my first post)
terri
01-02-2006, 11:10 AM
I thought we were sending just one out to the person, with us all having the same size cards, we don't need to post the all lot out each time - I think? :unsure:

been messing about this afternoon, just to try and get the hang of the sizing on the atc's (aren't they small!).... is this the kind of thing I'm supposed to do?
Didn't do this for anyone, just an experiment....

02-02-2006, 09:20 PM
Just had to read through all the threads and now I am dreading doing them and can't think of a single thing to put on any of them! Joy, if you are doing one yourself maybe you could do yours first and take a picture of it so I know what I am doing. Do you mean you want pictures of trees with the name of the tree on????
Michele, music/composers, do you just mean a musical theme? am not very good at this.
Is it too late to pull out :unsure:
MicheleP
03-02-2006, 09:11 AM
I'm a bit overwhelmed myself Val.
Music/composers....I thought that might be an easy one as it's so wide ranging. Sorry if I've made it difficult.
Idea... why don't we all do one for ourselves in our chosen theme, and upload it, so that the others can have an idea of what they're supposed to do?????

Good idea Michele. Sorry my love, I was meaning that you, or anyone else had made it difficult it is just that I want to get it right for people and sometimes it is so easy to misinterpret something when you aren't actually speaking to the person directly. The cards seem so small and I was just wondering how much information you would want on there. For instance - Composers - were you meaning information on the Composer, where he was born and when, when he died, well known pieces of music he composed. I suppose like those cards kids used to collect where they are just full of information.
MicheleP
03-02-2006, 09:48 AM
The cards are very small Val, and I was wondering how to get information on them myself. I think I'd just do something 'arty' with mine, if that makes sense? I'll do something at the weekend and see what I can come up with. If it's too difficult, I'll change the subject. That ok??? :unsure:
terri
03-02-2006, 02:14 PM
I think we are all in the same boat, it's just suppose to be fun. :unsure: perhaps we shouldn't have a theme, just decorate them in a colour that the person we are sending too likes?
VAL DER RE
03-02-2006, 02:39 PM
See, I am causing trouble again! I need to get a notepad and wite a hundred times "it is only a bit of fun". It isn't a punishable offence if it isn't exactly what the person had in mind, as long as it is nicely made and a bit of thought has gone into it.

03-02-2006, 02:58 PM
Val, you are not causing trouble, I think we are all stuggleing with this one, I know it was my idea too, so shoot me. :P
I'm hoping once I start, I will be ok. :rolleyes: I think I'm going to cover the card with coloured card stock to get colour I want at the base. and then think of the next stage. :)

I would never do that chuck. It is hard coming up with ideas on what we can do and trying out new things. I think I take it too seriously and it ends up being more like taking an exam rather than being something new to try.
You lot must have the patience of saints to put up with me and my mood swings :lol:
becslb
03-02-2006, 06:24 PM
Just a thought... am taking part in an altered jigsaw swop - each member has a theme and we have to decorate their piece however we want to according to their theme.... would it help if I photograph what I have done so far along with each theme so you all might get some ideas? ATC are basically the same.....
let me know!
MicheleP
03-02-2006, 07:12 PM
That would be great Becca. I think we are all struggling a bit with this one :blink:
Elsonbabe
03-02-2006, 07:20 PM
would like to see them anyway Becca:D....
I have just done some for the crop group I go to, for our addies and DoB etc, so I'll scan them and show you what I've managed with that...
Val...it's for fun:D.....get som scraps and have a play....I will say it's also addictive...I've only just managed to stay with the same theme for the Crop ones:P....
I was thinking..as far as posting, that they would be heavier than they actually are, ie they still come way under for the 1st class post....would it be easier to do it as a 'proper' CJ, and in which case we'll start the whole thing off ourselves and post on to whoever is below you on the list on page one....that way we can also use the envelope if you haven't thrown them already.......Yes???
VAL DER RE
03-02-2006, 08:44 PM
Joy, do you mean getting a receipt? I still have the same problem with getting to a post office. Would only be able to get to a PO on a Saturday.
So, sorry if I have missed something or just being thick. I am decorating one of the cards you sent and then sending to the next person who will then decorate one of the cards you sent them and then post both cards to the next person. Is that right??
Elsonbabe
04-02-2006, 12:47 AM
Yeh....you start it off, punch holes, decorate 1st page for your theme, front if you want one, and then post it on to the person below you on the first page.....:D....the tag book we did, I didn't do the cover til I got them all back, so up to you....as far as reciepts go, I didn't do the signiture bit, and as it's standard post, I think it should be ok...
I have a problem...what I wanted to do was a useful collection of info cards for my witchy bit's, and I thought trees would be good, but as I've looked into it tonight and there is not as much as I thought there may be, at the same time that may be something that comes as I study more.....therefore I am thinking of changing my theme to herbs, as that I feel is going to be more informative at this stage of eveything....both growing and using:)....I can also add to it at a later stage...yep I like this more as I type.....I'm going to change the post:P...sorry if you'd already decided what your doing...

04-02-2006, 12:54 AM
Joy, shame it's not rock crystals you are in to, I know something about that! I have a little collection.
Elsonbabe
04-02-2006, 01:03 AM
just started looking at crystals...says the pink one is good for headaches, but it needs 'charging' in sunlight, and I always remember at 10pm:rolleyes:.....
I thought herbs would be useful, in that I need to restock my garden, except Seka keeps digging up my pots!!!
MicheleP
06-02-2006, 10:42 AM
my weekend didn't allow me the space to do anything aout my cards... but now I'm totally confused about what we are doing. :unsure:
I know we decorate the cards with the theme of the other participants (sp?), but that's the extent of my understanding :blink:
I'm sorry to be so thick.
Please.... can someone explain what order we do them in.... if we just 'do' one and pass it on, someone may get all of hers in a few weeks, while others may be waiting months for hers... do you get my drift?
Do we need to devise an 'order of play'... like the cj??? (now I'm not sure I'm making any sense????:blink:)
craftymama
06-02-2006, 10:52 AM
Hi MIchele
From what I understand the cards that Joy has sent us now become our own so we decorate the first one with our own chosen theme and punch the holes in all the cards where we are going to fix them together, then we post all of the cards on to the next person who decorates in our theme like the cj and I think the order for posting is the order that we signed into this thread. I'm sure someone will correct me if I've got it wrong but I hope this helps.
MicheleP
06-02-2006, 10:54 AM
Thank you Jac :D
So we have a posting date at the begining of the thread too I assume.
will go and look ....
VAL DER RE
06-02-2006, 11:21 AM
What are we lot like :lol: I thought we were using the cards that Joy sent to us, so we decorate the first persons and then post that one on, then that person decorates one and then posts two to the next person. Then again I don't think that makes sense :blink:
Whoever posts to me, will have to post to work again, as if we need to sign for it I won't be happy if I have to go to the Sorting Office on Saturday to collect it. Can we not just post them out 1st class, they are only small and it isn't like the work that went into the CJ's, or are we not allowed.
If we do have to get a signature can you put my name and personal in very big letters. Sorry to be a real nuisance but because our returns department is in our office we get sack loads of post so it can be sat there for days if they don't notice it is personal when they go through it in the morning.

06-02-2006, 03:28 PM
ok... think I have got the gist - post to person below us in list (like for the cj/tags) with 1 card completed and the rest blank... that person will do a card and post the lot on etc etc etc...!! And standard post is ok. :)
Will take photos of my jig pc's tonight and will have to pm - can I send photos by pm...? may be not... - ok... if you'd like to see them pls pm me your email addie. I can't put them on forum as they have not been seen by recipients yet.

I have so much to do this month...several family birthdays with cards ordered by various members of the family...plus ones I have to make for myself to give....LO's to make for Dad's b'day pressie....gawd! Better try and think of something soon I guess :unsure:

Hey Tracey, posting on the 27th, so you've a week yet:lol:
I've done the first card, but for the writting, and I have planned the front card, but I didn't think the heat gun at 11.30pm was such a good idea:D...later....
I'm thinking of thumbnailing them for you to have a peek;)...what do you think??

21-02-2006, 10:47 PM
I'm stuck!!! :lol:
Can I change my theme ever so slightly??? Still want quotes but based around friendship and could I ask for colours to be burgundy/cream etc..????? Sorry.. don't mean to be too demanding :lol: Am thinking of using the ATC's to form a friendship book and would like to use fave colours!

Yes, fine Michele, just feel sort of quiet at the mo which is why I haven't been saying much. Plus John is using his laptop to actually do work on which is annoying me, not the fact that I can't use the laptop but the fact that we haven't been anywhere for weeks and weeks as he seems to keep getting calls and things at weekend and ends up having to work. I really, really need to have a day out. I am off a week though w/c 13th March so am hoping to be able to get out for a couple of good walks/days out.

Technically no, as it's altered art, but as we're doing it as a CJ, I was treating it as such:)....however, I am struggliing with the idea of claiming 25pts per card!!!...how about we claim a card for each instead..as it's going towards a final item???
hey, managed to scan and get them on a page, and CSI hasn't finished yet:D....just checked..bit small but you can see them:)

Me as well Sharon, I literally sat there with my chin in my hands for about an hour and couldn't think of anything to do. Eventually I did it yesterday and it took me ages, I mean they are so small so what is the problem, but glad it isn't just me. Perhaps you need to get in that mind set and by the time we have done a few we may get the bug.
craftymama
27-02-2006, 02:49 PM
Ok, I'm ready to post but haven't been outside the house yet as bug bite back and I had another bad yesterday! Hope to venture out and post them tomorrow.
If its okay with everyone I would finally like to give my cards a theme. I had also been sat for ages trying to decide what to do and how to do it then suddenly it fell into place and as I finished it I had another idea! I would like to make my cards into a keepsake for Ria and call it a 'little tin of advice' to give to her when she is 18 or leaves home (which ever comes first) I'll put more details in my first post ~ hope this is okay.
TraceyJ
27-02-2006, 03:39 PM

Thanks Tracey, in the end I was quite pleased with how i turned out. Funnily enough I wasn't keen on that paper but think it looked nice in just small pieces, especially with the stamped/chalked flower. It has made me want a 12 x 12 piece now to stamp/chalk.

Terri - are you still opting out of this CAJ??
Folks - assuming Terri has dropped out.. then it means I have no cards to pass on this month. I do have Joy's cards here now BUT I cannot get a card done for Monday and I am a bit tied up... SO... If it is not a problem... we will each have to "miss" a month but this would keep us to the original dates so less confusion??

Elsonbabe
28-03-2006, 12:24 AM
ok, we have a slight hitch with Becca (excuse me talking about her while she's not here)...as Terri didn't send hers at all, she has my set as the first, therefore she won't have a month's grace!..a bit concerned...I take it she's ok to continue, and when she returns she'll be ok, but I think what she'll have to do is two cards, one asap and then the second one for the next post...otherwise we are all going to be out a month!!....I know it was designed that way, but will she be ok with this, the other option would be retain a card off mine and do both at same time, and eventually it'll return to the 'pack'.....I've probably confused you even more now..ok, ignore this message, and I'll sort it with Becca when she returns....
I forgot the post this afternoon, but have pakaged them and will do it tomorrow:D
TraceyJ
28-03-2006, 09:29 AM
Becca did post some days ago about this problem - but didn't get a response - I told her via MSN I was ok with it - but noone else seemed to have an opinion:unsure:
She DID SAY that she was going to skip a month - and that would mean we would all at some point not get a set of cards to do one month.....if you scroll back on the last page you will find her message!
MicheleP
28-03-2006, 09:33 AM

Hi, I have recieved Kirsti's cards! I AM skipping a month - I DID get some off Terri for her a week before posting and I DID do a card for her to find that she was opting out. I now have Joy's and Kirsti's cards but I am sorry am very busy at the mo and cannot get another card done for this posting so am skipping a month hence I have 2 sets of cards. If I had known earlier, I could have done a card for Joy's set but as it was... am afraid I can't.... sorry.

26-05-2006, 02:43 PM
think I've solved the mystery of the disappearing atc's. a wee lady came to my door earlier with a card posted through her letterbox on Tuesday...adressed to me... 2 packages left at sorting office.
this is 3 times this week my mail has been delivered elsewhere, so I've logged a complaint at the sorting office.
craftymama
26-05-2006, 07:33 PM
I hope that is the missing ATCs coz I was getting a bit worried. Its such a shame when everyones hard work goes missing.

Think I might be a bit late with this one - had Aunt on the phone for over an hour wanting to "just chat" - not got a single card made - and it's 11.15pm!!!
Will hopefully only be a day or 2 behind ;)

Tracey, have recieved Michele's....am going to have to think on this...but have the papers already:D...great work guys:D
Becca, have posted on Val's this morning for you, + two stamps :lol:...have fun...really enjoyed those...
Met an ATC swapper this morning, and exchanged one I had done for the TSSC's which includes all my details...she's a member here, Panicmum,...but she was saying that 'officially' we're using the wrong size, but we knew that anyway:lol: :P
off now for a bbq, just made some spicey chcken burgers;)...will let you know:D
Elsonbabe
02-07-2006, 12:28 PM
the burgers were ok, but a bit dry...worked a bit better with onion and as meatballs:D...
Have updated front and re read instructions...still struggling with Michele's and now thinking of Jac's, what a fantastic idea:D
MicheleP
02-07-2006, 06:54 PM
Joy, don't stress over it. Just put a treble cleff on it if you are stuck!
I've done Kirsti's and Sharon's so can I post to you Val? I know I'm mixing up posting dates, but I'm getting ready to go away, and move Alana, and get the JD and Layla ready to go to respite by the 17th, and I'm just back from hols on the 14th August.
I only have Tracey's and Val's left to do judging by the first post

Love that idea of a treble clef Michele, I've been keeping little music bits since we started this, waiting for yours:lol:...but yesterday I heard a tune that I can work with....will do today/tomorrow...especially as it's p*****ing down, and although nice I don't deliver Avon books inthe rain:D

VAL DER RE
09-07-2006, 09:20 PM
Am I late? Sorry I haven't finished Joy's yet, am having trouble deciding on a herb. I will post asap. It shouldn't take me too long to do the other two (which arrived together) as they are just month's, is it better if I post the other two as and when I do them.
Elsonbabe
10-07-2006, 12:29 AM
Val, I would post as you complete, as it's coming up to school hols...you've got all of them now, the next you'll get is your own:D
I've finished Michele's and it's all ready to post..a first eh:lol: Also done the covers for the next one I'm doing...need a title sorted though..

10-07-2006, 10:04 AM
So if Val has Joy's plus 2 others - one of the "others" I'm assuming are mine?? So I have 2 sets left to do? I know I haven't done Joy's yet - and Sharon's should be last on my list. So - Val must have Joy's, mine and Sharon's! I think I have this right anyway! :lol:
TraceyJ
10-07-2006, 10:10 AM
HHHmmmm Maybe not - I think I still have Kirsty's, Sharon's AND Joy's to do! ??? :unsure:
