Me too! Great idea!!

Christmas in July ATCs Update:

Okay-- I have received all the ATCs. I have received a few cards from people and the cards weren't put together very well and I'm having to put them back together the best I can. Thank you to Gemme for sending pictures so I can see what needed to be done.

I would suggest in the future, to make sure you glue stickers down because depending where you live it doesn't always make it when it arrives to a new place of living. Also, individual wrapping of cards helps, A LOT.

I will be sending them out in the beginning of next week -- and will let everyone know.

Thank you everyone again for participating!!

Thank you for the clarification, Besame.

That sounds like a fantastic idea.

Mine were. Glued down, that is. Damn Martha Stewart and her glue pens!

I did forget to wrap them really good though and you are right; that can make all the difference.

I'm glad you were able to figure out what screw A goes into slot B.

I like receiving something from every one of the participants of each round. If this is not an acceptable stipulation, feel free to remove my name from the list. Thanks!

scor-tape

You have heard of this stuff?
http://scor-pal.com/scor-tape

I haven't. Do you use this?

I use something similar to this . But with only certain things, it's hard for smaller objects so I do the glue stick.

scor tape is double sided tape that has a paper backing. I learned about it at a scrap book store. It comes in different widths. What I love about it is that it can be torn into the right size piece. Or you can cut it. It holds really well and I use it a lot.

I agree with Gemme, my preference is to do a swap with the whole group!

how thick is it?

Any craft store will have what I showed... I normally get mine at Michael's. They have refills too and there are a few options of what kind of tape you'd like- dot, tab and full strip. Have fun!

I think it's marvelous what everyone is doing in this thread.

I'm an artist, my mother was an artist...I wholeheartedly encourage artistic exploration and endeavor whenever possible.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Sorry, all, I have to remove myself from the list. Stuff has come up, and I'm not sure I would be able to finish. Since I'm leaving before the start of the project, it's my understanding that this will _not_ have me restricted from future projects, right?

I've renumbered the signup list below.

yay, you signed up!

I'm glad to see the excitement surrounding this mosaic project! I was concerned with having unlimited participants that we might be over whelmed with making so many pieces. As my original post:

"After sign ups , we can discuss how many pieces we will make. If 10 sign-up, I feel that making 10 would be too time consuming. We can discuss the making up to 5, or as a group we can decide if we want to make 10. That is open for discussion after sign ups are closed"

Signs ups end, Aug 2, Sunday.

Looks like we have opened up the discussion sooner! And it sounds like we want to make ONE per participant. I'm liking that idea, I'm in crafting mode! So many ideas, so many new techniques I want to try!!

Thank you Amy, for that great tip! I hang out in other parts of the craft world more often, and I have been looking for an easier way to creat lace tape! just saying, not all glue sticks are the same. Stay away from the dollar store glue sticks!


Clay, no worries, there will not be 100 mosaics in this wrangle! your so cute...:)

Bumping!! Refer to post #4968
