own photos cj - NOW FULL

here is a cj to do where you provide enough of your own photos with your cj for everyone to do a layout for you.

first posting date to be 20th feb and every 20th after that. please do not post ages before the posting date as it will get too confusing for me to follow! cjs should be sent first class recorded in a waterproof layer inside a jiffy which can take the abuse royal mail often gives it!

please can photos be printed out / physical rather than on disc as a few people have stated they cannot print out themselves - thankyou!
if you want journalling space leaving, then please make a note of that in your 'cj rules' and if your photos need to be done in a certain order then please number them or put the persons name who will be using it on the back.

when you have received a cj please write a note in the thread so i can update who has which cj in their possession. i will not alter the list until the person has received the cj has said, rather than the person who posted it.

posting as of 20th june

oh and please go gently with me as this is the first time ive hosted a cj Smile

addresses have all now been received. if you have not received the address of the person you are sending to, please pm them or me Smile if anyone has any probs let me know


if anyone is new to cjs, please pm me if you feel you require any extra information or help. cjs are generally an album between 6x6 and 8x8 in size complete with album pages for everyone to create a double layout on. there is a sign in page, instruction page and it is usually bound with book rings or a bia, plus in this case the photos required to complete the layouts in your book.

westiegirl

Could i join in this please
annie2006

hi there westiegirl Smile ur on the list
annie2006

hows everyone doing at making their cj ready to post? has everyone decided if they are sending photos ready printed or on a disc? decided on a size of book?
clairbear101

Hiya hun, can i join pretty please!!
new2this

Oooh, does that mean we are full?  Yeah!!   Now I really must think up a theme and take some piccies!!!
clairbear101

Hi all, think annie is going to add me when she gets back from the school run!

So what pictures are you guys using? I was thinking maybe of the kids for the grandparents?
annie2006

clair m'dear u r in! Smile
yey that means we are full. please can everyone pm me their full name, address and a contact number.
you will be posting to the person below you on the list, so please can you also pm your address to te person ABOVE you on the list so they know where to post it!!!
clairbear101

all my details have been posted, thanks for yours annie!

I'm going to put my pictures onto disk if thats ok with everyone?
clairewill

Will pm my address to you now Annie for posting to me.  10th Feb is going to come round quick!

Not 100% sure which photos I'm using yet, can't decide! Will it need to be 10 6x4 photos, or smaller ones?  Although a CD might be a good idea, then people could print off whatever size works with their LO.

And will it be ok to ask people to leave a gap for me to journal when it comes back?
clairbear101

Hi clairewill, i know on other cj's that people tend to put in a note if there is anything in particular that they want done. I am putting mine on disk so that people can print off whatever size pictures they want.
annie2006

you can include whatever sized pictures you like hun. mine will be 6x4 caus they are already printed, but people can chop them up if they want them smaller.

if your photos have to go in a certain order remember to number them on the back or on the disc, and pop it in your 'rules' if you want space for journalling. Smile
pip

Have started on my covers tonight and been selecting the photos. I thought I might send 12 so that the last person has a choice Smile  Will send my addy too. - gosh! I'm almost getting organised!


Pip

Hi All...

I have added a couple or three photo's for each double layout, you can chop them around, do what you want with them, or am i only meant to do one photo for each double layout....if you get my drift....lol...
Hugs Angel Embarassed
pip

Following on from Angel's comments- does anyone object to just having the photos on a CD? The advantage of that is that you can crop them, add any effects you fancy and generally mess them about to your liking - even do a digital LO.  


Pip
annie2006

i dont mind if photos are on cd or already printed.
please remember to send a COPY of your original photos cd tho caus if it got lost in the post and was the only one you had, we'd all be mortified.

angel, you can just have one photo or 2 or three for each layout. its up to you. mine will have 1, 2 or 3 for each layout but people dont have to use all the photos, if there are 3 included, they may only choose to use one and thats fine! just remember to put what you want doing in your rules so every one is clear.

OKIE DOKIE ..... Very Happy

thanks Annie....

I have been AWOL sorry I ave not as yet even made my CJ will I will get to it as soon as te CC has finished over the other side.
I dont even have photos yet but that is not a proBlem eitther I have hundreds of CD's of DD waiting to be scrapped.
pennyk

regarding photos -as to whether on a disc or not I hope that I get photos as my printer head has gone and will not be able to print any or decent quaility- if people are sending disc's could they put in some printed one for me please.
annie2006

ok girls.

so, we need photos printed as a few people have pointed out they wont be able to print them out themselves.

because of this, and because leanie has only just joined us, i have altered the first posting date to 20th feb. hope no one minds.
Angel's Delight's

Nope Nope....

FINE WITH ME.....Annie...

Hugs Angel
new2this

Hi Leanne!

That's fine with me .... I haven't ANY photos waiting to scrap so I'm having to think up something to take!!   Would anyone object if I made a sort of game of this?  You wouldn't know until you opened an envelope which piccy you had to use .. and then it was a What Am I? sort of LO .. with the answer(and appropriate piccy) on the back of the page along with your "sign in" details.  Does that sound OK?  Please yell if it's a stupid idea and I will try to come up with something more "ordinary"  ... and go out and take some more piccies!
Angel's Delight's

hehehehe

i'm up for it, sounds like it could be a giggle....
no probs from me...
Hugs Angel
pennyk

I dont have a clue yet about what theme/photos I shall be using- I might so get photos of all the important people in my life and have that- who knows LOL

Wisher

leanie

N2T I like your idea, can't wait to pick my envelope!
pennyk

I have not as yet had a CJ  from you Missc. When did you post it?? Although it is early and I have not as yet got any photos from mine eeeekkkk I have better get a move on, although I have nearly finished CJ just gotta do signing in page and intro page and my first LO- So I guess it is not nearly finished but fear not it will be on time.
Angel's Delight's

pip

I posted this morning - it will be much nearer the due date in future as I had it all ready for the 10th!  I've also included a CD and prints as I hadn't read the updated first post until after they were all on CD and I'd made a space for it in my CJ.
I have now resolved to read this thread at least three times a week to keep up to date Very Happy
