Hi Becky are you doing the class too?
thank you very much Becky
<waving madly at Chris>
yes I am Chris :):)
Can anyone who has done one of these before help? I am really trying not to buy anything (much, apart from an album and some stickers/rub ons) for this as I have a ton of cardstock and paper to use up. I have settled on BG Lucky, as it has some more muted ones and then the jazzy ones she talks about. And I do have 18 cardstock sheets to match if I include the BG lucky solids that I have. But they are in ones and twos, rather than six of the same colour. I realise the album won't have the cohesion that it would have with just 3 base colours, but will this do? To be honest, I think it will have to do, as I can't justify buying more cardstock, just looking for a bit of reassurance that it won't end up pants really! :D
Annie, perhaps you could edge ALL your cardstock with the same colour ink to pull it together, or use something identical on each page like a shaped brad or button. I think you are going to have plenty of scope to add extras like that. I won't be buying anything new at all, and am going to be using paper for doing pastel drawing on as my backgrounds, because it is thick and I have plenty of it.
Actually, buying a couple of big sheets of artists paper (Canson or Canford) and cutting it yourself works out considerably cheaper than cardstock in 12inch squares. I realise I am preaching heresy, here :lol: :lol:
I know people have had problems getting the 7 Gypsies stickers. I have found a source on the well known auction site if anyone wants to PM me. Unless someone has found one of our sponsors with these in stock that is, and could tell us all.
*waves* to all these excited girlies -- love your enthusiasm! can't wait!
but just wanted to give you a little update for those of you awaiting supply lists/confirmations. because i apparently hold the title of queen of good timing, i managed to smash my laptop weekend! so sad. BUT all is okay -- it was only the screen and case that were damaged, and everything running inside is still fine. yesterday i took it for the repair quote and then last night we ran a back up that took all night. this morning, voila! i can run my stuff on a different computer. HURRAH. but right now i am out the door for work -- we have year 7 in a week early for half days. I finish at lunch time so will be getting all remaining confirmations out as soon as I get home. So sorry for the delay. What have we learned from this? It really doesn't matter how ugly it may be, it is worthwhile to tape down one's power cord! (Or to upgrade to the model with the magnetic power cord, at least.)
Emma/Flobble -- I am sure you are already added. Can you pm/email me the email address you want to use? I want to make sure you are receiving things at the right place, as you should be receiving the group mails already. I'll get it sorted for you straight away at lunchtime. Thank you. :)
Silly questions from someone looking at signing up......
I've seen lots of references to receiving emails from everyone who's signed up (I assume copies of their posts?) and 'replying to emails' in order to post
Is it possible to turn off the receipt of all these emails? I've been signed up to a forum that did this once, and it drove me totally nuts :wacko:
Assuming I can't turn them off (but still decide to sign up) is replying to received emails the only way to actually post a message?
I know it sounds a daft question, but I connect to the Internet via BT Broadband while using a Freeserve email addy for signing up for things like this. And BT won't let me send out emails from Outlook that aren't from a BT address :blink: This means that if I sign up with my favoured email addy I'd be able to receive things, but can't reply without changing the email addy I'm sending from - and I guess that the BT email addy wouldn't be recognised as it wouldn't be my registered one, and so my attempts to post would fail.
There is no forum as such once you sign up. Everyone communicates via email on a circulation list. When you get the list on signing there are options so you propabl could turn off the emails if you wanted to. HTHs
cw18 (sorry don't know your real name)
It might be worth opening a hotmail or similiar email account for this and just reading and replying to everything online - that way your real account won't be swamped with mails (and there could be a lot) and you can read and reply online.
Thanks Chris.... guess I'll have to give this some serious deliberation then, as there's no way I want dozens of emails coming through into my BT accounts (which actually seem to be down at the moment anyway).
Drove me mad enough when I got an email every time someone sent me a PM on here, and was very relieved when I found out how to turn them off ;)
Bev... won't all the instructions for the daily projects go to the same email addy? guessing that would mean I'd have to wade through them all anyway :unsure:
I can actually set up another Freeserve addy which I can opt not to download into Outlook, but worried about missing the instructions if I do this. (Or alternatively I could set a rule in Outlook to immediately delete all messages to a pre-defined email addy, but would almost certainly then delete all instructions too :wacko:)
There's an option to turn off the mailings altogether or receive a 'digest' of what's been sent. I chose this option and got about 3 emails yesterday rather than about 20+.
