Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Ok I finally got everyone added. I have a quick question about the challenges (I know mines pretty far away, but its never too early for ideas) do they have to be for cards or could it be an altered item or such? Thanks
An altered item sounds great to me however it would be nice if it is easily obtained. I live in a beautiful area but the nearest craft store is 80 miles away. We do have a super WalMart in the area though. If it needs to be bought at a craft store would you give us a couple of weeks for a heads up? I don't know if anyone else is in the same boat as I am...................
thank you, Paula! I look forward to receiving it! sounds as if you are quite busy yourself. how did the Easter play go?
everyone have a great day!
Dress rehearsal is tonight and it will be presented Friday and Saturday night for the community. I think it will be pretty good since some of the participants are tearing up as they watch and they know what's coming. Today I wrote on the sign for the cross as I finished it up. It was all Greek to me! Literally! Thanks for asking about things.
For challenges you can do cards, altered items, scrapbook pages, etc.
Oh good. thanks for answering katy. I thought that's how it was.

If I am missing anyone on my Blog please let me know. This would not be intentional on my part. I am still thinking about the challenge (:
Looks good julie. You can take Danielle of Danielle's Divine design off since she bowed out as well as Melyssa of Fantastik too just to let you know.

Thank you! I made the changes I am home alone tonight for a few hours! I have been catching up on swaps and cards and all sorts of stamping tasks It is amazing how quiet the house can be without 4 kiddos home. I should be cleaning and picking up, but I know you all will enable me
Martha you can check the beginning of this thread to find the challenge hostess and dates. Jennifer is standing in for someone else. The next challenge begins 4/22 but I will probably post it early. You still have time to participate in the current challenge if you like! Any other newbies out there that didn't know about the current challenge may feel free to join in. You can find info on my current blog post or go to Jennifer's blog at just coffee please to find the info you will need.
Kristi- September will work for me. Thanks so much!
Sue- Would it be possible for you to switch Kristi and I in the challenge list on the opening post?
Also, I don't know if this is possible or not. I don't know much about such things, but could we have one post with links to past challenges? It would be so nice to have direct links to the challenges.

I'm going to go switch it on the list right now. As far as the links to past challenges, that I don't know. That would be a lot of work b/c I or whoever would have to go back to the old thread and sift through to find those.
NOW! with that said, what my other blog group does (Kreative LadyBlogs) is we created a separate thread for our challenges. I could do that for us too. It's not hard at all. All you have to do is subscribe to this thread and to the challenge thread.
What does everyone think about that?

Good. I'm gonna wait for a few more ppl. to respond and then go ahead and do it if that's what everyone wants.

I like it too. I think I had mentioned that a few weeks ago. When we load our photos to our galleries we can use a specific code so that we can view the entire gallery of each blog challenge. Sue, can you figure that out?
I like this idea too!!! Sue thanks for keeping us organized. I appreciate it very much. Where is the email of addresses? I can not remember who was assembling one, I'd like to have it if possible.

I am working on the addresses and will get them emailed this weekend.
Paula - my envie came today! so fun! and shhhhhhh...... mum's the word!
thanks for the 'gravy', too!
maybe someday I'll be rich and can get a cuttlebug or big shot. crossing fingers and toes..... 'cause these look like lots of fun!
Glad you like it! I sent Gravy for all that asked for an envie! Let me know what you want in the CB and big shot arena and I can hook you up. You can also join Wish RAK and get this stuff too. That's how I started.
I just saw where you had been over to CPC. I should have known! I think this might be the outlet for me! I sent them some stuff this morning. Maybe we can brainstorm together some time.
Karen, it looks like someone already changed it? is it right ?
Sue, It should say Kristi-May 6th, Karen Sept 9.
Actually, I just noticed that Tanja is still on the challenge list. Do you want me to just take her place? Of course, that still doesn't solve the problem of May 6th unless Kristi wants to take it anyways. Please do whatever is easiest for you. I don't want to be difficult. I really appreciate you taking the time to organize all of us.
BTW, I think having a separate thread for challenges is a great idea!
I just finished Carmen's challenge. It's up on my blog.

while you're updating the challenge list, you might want to put my name in for Kryssi's since she doesn't do the challenges. I'll still take the one May 20 unless you want to move me to the one for the 6th. clear as mud?!?!
also a reminder to everyone to comment at least one time a week on everyone's blogs! I'm noticing some people are doing great at posting frequently to their own blogs, but not quite making the rounds as often as the regs mention. just saying fair is fair, not trying to be super critical. ('cause I know that every comment counts to someone like me! )
and welcome, Annie, to our group! have a great weekend everyone! the sun is shining here and it is supposed to be in up to 70 today. no snow for a weekend, finally!!!!! (even though you all know I love it!) my daffodils finally opened up yesterday and I love them!!!
Hi Annie and welcome! On the fist page of the thread you will find everyone's name and blog list that you can list on your blog roll. Simply post to your blog at least once a week and then post a comment on each of our member's blogs at least once a week. There are some wonderfully talented and very nice people in this group that you will have fun getting to know.
Several people have wanted to have the addresses so that we can send cards and such if we want. I am going to be working on this list today and will PM it to everyone at some point this weekend. My hubby and I are sharing a computer right now and since he used it for work, he gets it when he needs it, but he is gone all day so I will have plenty of time to get it together. If you want to be part of this list, please send me your full name, address, and birthday and anniversary dates if you want.
It's me again!! See how much I can accomplish when I have the computer all to myself! So i am working on the list of addresses and so far I have the addresses for: Me (Gina), Jennifer, Katy, Tiffany, Paula, Sara, Julie, Sue, Carmen, Karen, Dru, Peggy and Annie.
Please PM me your information sometime today if you want to be included and I will PM the complete list to everyone tomorrow evening.
Gina it is wonderful to see you!!!!
and I have had to share our compy with so many people for so long, I completely understand how you feel! but nothing like what you are going through with a hubby who needs it for work.
thanks for all that you are doing to get the addresses together!
Hello ladies - I have been trying to catch up from all of the posts this week since I was pretty much absorbed in TAXES!! Yikes, am I glad that's over for now after filing an extension!
I have added Martha and Annie to my DD list.. removed Tanja. (Love the group name, by the way)
I noticed that Paula is listed twice on the challenges... but the July 1st one should list my name as that's what I signed up for.. just a typo. (unless Paula, you want to do two he-he!)
Hope everyone is enjoying some sign of Spring...
'gotta run and blog hop.. Ciao for now, Peggy

Peggy you may have July if you would like. Some of us were listed twice because there were more challenge weeks then there were members.
Sue would you mind making the change?
Why don't we compose a list of guidelines and post those at the top of the thread too so that everything is in one place and folks know what they are signing up for. This might be a first draft that we can compose together.[/COLOR]
Blog Member Guidelines
1. Post to your own blog at least once per week and if you can't, leave a message in this thread so that we know what is going on.
2. Post to EACH members blog at least once per week. Many of us leave multiple comments because we like what we see on our Sistah's blogs. That is up to you. You are not expected to leave comments while on vacation but many folks make the rounds and catch up when they return and leave comments anyway. It's up to you.
3.Post each member on the side bar of your blog under our D.I.V.A. name. Placing this list towards the top is better than at the very bottom of your side bar.
4. Bog challenges are not mandatory but we love it when you can participate!
5. Subscribe to this thread and our challenge thread so that you stay in the loop!
6. If you are unable to fulfill your obligation to visit EACH blog per week, then gracefully bow out and let someone else have your spot.
Many of us are getting to know one another and we like this group. We have many common interests although our creative styles are very different. We also welcome new people to take the old spots. If you look at our blogs as a whole and you like what you see then we are probably a good fit for you. Can anyone think of anything I missed? Comments, criticisms etc..? This is a good support group with some fabulous folks!
