hi all, just wanted to ask a question or two!! once I have completed a cj, who gives me the trader rating to allow me to do more. also can someone please clarify the swap maximum. I am signed up for the newbie cj and also an atc swap, is this ok???

The ATC Trail is not classified as a swap - it is an ongoing trail in which you'll swap an ATC with the person who posted above you and another ATC with the person who has posted directly after you. It does not officially count as a swap. You may join up to a maximum of three swaps at any one time, these must be added to your signature. Once the swap is complete the hosts of the swaps will leave you a trader rating. Once you have received a positive trader rating you are eligble to join another swap.

As a newbie you must complete your newbie CJ and receive a trader rating from Kitty Crafts before you are eligible to join another

Hi there, brand new today, greetings from wet n wild Shropshire and wondering how all this works

Went to download a test piece and the site it says something about I don't have enough credits or something, if you are a veteran of the site, some info about what I am supposed to do here would help, fairly new to card making, though been an avid collector of all things crafty for a while now.

Muchos grassybums in advance - hope to hear from you soon, via threads or personal message - its all good ...

This thread here should answer your question regarding downloads and help explain the reasoning behind the rule

[sandpiper1809]

Hoping can answer my query. I have received one of my atc swaps today, do I need to leave feedback for the sender and if so where and how do i do this?

[nettyB]

No you dont need to leave feedback for the ATC trail

There are a couple of new swaps gone up - a stash type swap hosted by gemmasteele - always good for building up your stash goodies . There's also a monthly card swap hosted by Kellmorris this month - for all you card makers

Joined this site recently, having decided too get back into scrapbooking and card making after a LONG break. Decided get all my craft stuff from storage at my mums and brought it back to my house - didn't quite realise how much stuff I'd built up! Feeling totally overwhelmed now :/
