I may have to post a bit earlier than that Beth - for the first posting as I am going to Cyprus for a couple of weeks around that date if this is ok by you and the others taking part. I have not got a clue as to what my theme will be though. Smile
Angel's Delight's

Meg Baby

Welcome Juliana I'v added you to the list.
nettyb

Hi Beth


Can SilverAngel please join your CJ?

I'll be helping her cos she's never done a CJ before - we'll have a think about her theme and let you know later Smile
new2this

May I join, please?   I promise to do "hybrid" ...not pure digi, honest!!

Could I have "Illuminated Initials" as my theme .... your own initials - either your user name or your "real" one - done like the letters in calligraphy or the old manuscripts/gospels. ...... the ones with heads at both ends/dots all round/gold edges and intertwined vines .. that sort of thing.
Juliana

Beth I have sent you a pm.
sandy2662

Mistyrat
Meg Baby

I've updated the list. Welcome to all the new comers.
Perditaet

Can I join too?  My theme would be 'What I do best' - asking everyone to do a LO using their favourite scrapping elements ....
Angel's Delight's

Hi There...

My Theme is going to be SCI-FI... the book is not going to be for me, it will be for my son, he loves the other Cj i do, and looks forward to the postman coming, this will be a suprise for him, he is into anything to do with space, doctor who, star trek, that kind of thing, hope this is ok with you all....
SO SSHHHHHhhhhhh don't tell him...lol...
Hugs Angel
Meg Baby

That's such a cool topic. and Just the excuse I need to go to the dr who exibition again.
pennyk

I still have not decided on a theme- although I have just had a week away and I have some photo of that. I will look at them later to see if I would like a CJ about that.
T_Ann

mistyrat

pennyk

tropical rain forest sounds really fab- brilliant theme. Shall look forward to that one.
Crafty Barbie

Is it too late to join in with this? I only joined the forum on Sunday so I will understand if I am too late, but would love to join in if that is possible.

If it is ok I would like to send a sketch round with my CJ for everyone to interpret in their own way.
Angel's Delight's

Sketch, wow, sounds cool to me!!!!!
Hugs Angel
pennyk

sandy2662

Perditaet

Have we got 12 people at the moment?  Just adding enough pages to the book!
wrightboysmum

Thanks for letting me join. I'm thinking about a year theme as well 1970. Would that be a problem? Otherwise I'll have a good think. DH is the big 40 next year and I thought it would be a nice surprise. Size wise I'm swithering between 6x6 or 8.5x11.5. Will decide at the weekend.
Crafty Barbie

I will have to post early as well as we are going away for a week on 13th.
pennyk

I have PM'd you Beth- I think I will have to pull out of this Cj as I have got a lot on and not a lot of photos. Sorry if this has mucked up your posting rota.
nettyb

Me too I'm afraid BETH . My new Leve Twol Training and Assessments has started at work and I'm not going to have time to play in this one I don't think. I shall still help SilverAngel with hers so you'll all have some part of the contents of my craft room somewhere on your pages Rolling Eyes and maybe one of two of my crafty flashes of inspiration.

Sorry Beth but thought I'd better let you know
new2this

OK ... with Penny and Netty having to withdraw, I make that 10 of us ..... is that the official number now?  
Will we be sending in the order it is on the first post list or are you doing a shuffle Meg?
Sorry .. just trying to sort out a timetable for myself ....if I don't write it out somewhere I forget to do something, always!!!!
wrightboysmum

That means I'll definetely do 1970 as my theme and I'll go and sort my size out. I'm looking forward to starting.
wrightboysmum

Okay my size is 7 x 5. Away to get it ready for posting.
Crafty Barbie

Started to make mine today.The size is 6x6.
Meg Baby

Yes we are officially ten I'll update the first post with changes and themes. I'll also add the posting dates. Yes we'll send in the orders in the list.
mistyrat

Are we doing DLO pages?
Crafty Barbie

I assumed that we were and have already done some of my CJ with this in mind.
Angel's Delight's

I'm hoping it is, as i have done my CJ that way too,  double layout pages.
Hugs Angel

My size is 8x8....  sci-fi theme..
Hugs Angel
Perditaet

I have gone for DLO's too, mine will be 8x8.

I was thinking, I might send round 10 identical photo's for you to include with your favourite LO elements.  What do you think?
Angel's Delight's

Cool, that is what i have done, so you can place my son in a scence of doctor who, star trek or star wars, he is SOOOOO going to love this....lol...
Hugs Angel
Meg Baby

My album is going to be 8x8 and basd on double LO.
new2this

Mine will be 6x6 ... not bound yet, only tied temporarily to give room for "lumps and humps" !!
Single pages ... decorate one side .. sign in on the back please.
Please leave a clear half-inch ALL ROUND ... not sure which way I shall make this up and I can always add a  "Iona" type border.     I thought 5 inches would be quite large enough to ask for Initials!!!!
Meg Baby

mistyrat

Can you just clarify dates as we have 3 in July? Are we posting to person below you on the list?

Mistyrat
Angel's Delight's

MMM bit different from the other CJ posting's, confused me a bit as this is only my second one.
How does this one work, and yep 3 in July...
OR AM I HAVING A DUMB MOMENT.!!!!!!
Shocked  

Hugs Angel
new2this

It's a three week schedule, Angel, that's why it looks a bit strange ... and the 17th July should be 17th AUGUST .... just a typing error, it is still a three week gap.

I've just done your "own Photos" pages .. pure digi apart from a pocket for a tag ... gorgeous piccies, I do hope you like what I've done with them!!

Quote from Beth:
"Yes we are officially ten I'll update the first post with changes and themes. I'll also add the posting dates. Yes we'll send in the orders in the list".
Angel's Delight's

New2this i am sure i will love what you have done with my piccies, love the digi art you do,

If we are posting the person below us on the list, that will be the same person to post to each 3 wks, just like the other CJ's,
Basicaly the same as the "own photos" but 3 wks rather than 4 wks... to the same person,
AM I CORRECT.....lol...
Hugs Angel
Perditaet

Will you be sending out the addresses or shall we ask our postees for them?
SilverAngel

Hi Everyone, Im really sorry for the delay, i've been having a lot of probs with the internet here, but should be all ok now!

I would like to have Techniques & Textures as my theme, as this is still all fairly new to me im trying to learn about all sorts of different ways of getting texture & interesting things to my work. If you have a favourite technique or have discovered something interesting that looks great, use it to decorate a single page (anything you want) , & use the back of the page to tell me all about it! Very Happy  Laughing
new2this

Yep, tha's right, Angel.   The only difference is the time-gap between posting.
Angel's Delight's

Ahhhhh Ya A Star !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Wink
Thankyou.....
Hugs Angel
Angel's Delight's

Hi everyone. Had a lovely week away and returned today. Is the CJ on it's way yet Sonja? I have this week off from work as well so hope to be able to get it done.
wrightboysmum

I posted Sat morning Barbara so you should have it Monday hopefully. I wasn't sure if it was Sat or Sun you were back. I haven't finished decorating the cover as I fancy doing some metal work on it with the Ten Second Studio stuff and thought that would bump the postage up. Did you have a good time?
Crafty Barbie

Got the CJ today thanks. I must do some research and get my thinking cap on quickly.
Yes we had a lovely holiday thank you in a little cottage on a farm. There were sheep sleeping on the doorstep and looking in the lounge window, as well as cows across the drive and wild pheasants by the gate.
