So........ are you enjoying it here?

[Janice]

We have been here in our own forum for two weeks now and I wondered how everyone is feeling Are you enjoying the dedicated forum for cardmaking? Is there anything you feel is missing - can I add anything else?

An update on questions Ive been asked so far:

Can we get points for card making again?

Unfortunately Ive checked with the ladies that look after the Teams/Houses and Points system and it is felt that at this time, cards will NOT be eligible for points. I can understand the dilemma - the points system is primarily for Scrapbooking, to get the inspiration going, and a line has to be drawn somewhere - so at the moment, its a No. I will keep this on the back burner though just in case there is a change of heart

Can we have a Categorised Gallery?

I have been asked if we could manage with just the one Gallery for the time being. If we all made an effort to put the description of our cards in the title of our uploads to the gallery, then when anyone wants to search - it would be much easier. So, if you make a Female Birthday Card - title it as such. When you want so look for inspiration in a particular category - search using the words "Female Birthday" - this should help. However, see below for my alternative suggestion

Can we have Card Swaps on this forum?

To keep continuity on UKS at a premium, we request that ALL swaps/trades for Cards still go through the usual channels and you use the Swap forum and contact chrismicbritt for authorisation.


MY IDEA


I think it may be a nice idea to have seperate threads as "Sticky's" for different categories of cards - so for example, we could have:

• Christmas Cards
  
• Female Cards
  
• Male Cards
  
• Children and Baby Cards
  
• Others (this would include Weddings/Anniversary's/Thinking of you... etc.

When we make a card, we can either post it in the gallery, and/or we can post a picture/link in the relative thread as well.

If anyone has any other requests or suggestions - just PM me

What I like about your last idea of sticky threads, and posting a link to the gallery when you upload a card is that you get a bit of feedback. I mean, we all like nice things to be said and because cards don't go in the Layout gallery (obvious I know, keep reading ) they don't pass across the top of the home page on uploading and so might not get noticed. Also nipping through a stickied thread complete with links would be a good way to search for inspiration at short notice, or am I the only one to leave cards till the last minute?
Thanks for your efforts Janice.

It's fantastic

The challenges are fun - and I promise to try and keep up with them

The inspiration is so much better via threads rather than just browsing the cards gallery, and I now feel I can ask for help/ideas (as per the Diwali card) without getting comments about this being a 'scrapping' site --- would have had to either risk that on the general chat, or hope it was seen if I put it in Community (never was sure where to post for card help )

Yes, many thanks, Janice. Am feeling much more motivated. Still scrapping of course, but the two do go together.

[Josieanne]

Thanks You Janice

I haven't participated much as I'm a bit busy at work at the moment but its fantastic having a seperate cardmaking forum.

I love the ideas for stickys and can we start the Christmas card one soon as I am desperate for some inspiration

[Guillyflower]

resounding - 'LOVIN IT'

[Ching]

loving it Janice....and I love your idea for stickies. What would be great in the threads for particular theme of cards is if its just links to their galleries, with alll comments/praise and questions in the gallery instead of in the thread.

[Jay]

I love it too Janice.

[alisonf]

Lovin' it lots!!! Your idea sounds like a good one to me!

[Janice]

I am glad you are all enjoying it here - I am chuffed to have a Card Making forum as it was my first love and venture into papercrafting.

As much as I adore scrapbooking, I still get so much pleasure from making and giving cards

Right - will get the threads organised now


Will get the threads sorted out -
