Continuous Random Round Robins - 3

[katelnorth]

Another envelope opened! Got a homer from theatrerachel (me/palmira/theatrerachel) along with a set to finish, started by heymaggie. It might be a few days before I can work on the set - not sure my brain will be functioning well for a while

[katelnorth]

Okay, the last of the envelopes opened and sorted - and I have lovely finished cards from CeeJay/me/theatrerachel, JAD/me/prayeratnight and kentuckydakota/me/nancy. I also have two sets of starters from angelmuz to add to my pile of things to be worked on. Looking forward to tackling that pile in the next few days. In the meantime, I think I'm caught up on all my iTraders, but if you are missing one from me for a card I've definitely mentioned in the forum, let me know - I can't promise my brain is totally functioning yet after all that travelling!

Big Toe....I buy the cheap shaving cream at the dollar store. Spray into big pan(or recently I saw how they sprayed it onto the BACK of a foam plate)and drop some re-inkers on top. Swirl colors with a pick...like for very curly hair(dollar tree has those too). Lay paper on top and lift. Scrape off excess cream with spatula or similar and let dry.

Lotsa mail this week. homers from x-stitcher and LauraM540, Ceejay and LauraM540, Maggie and LauraM540....thanks Laura for sending all the seconds home for me! Got the Clue set from CynthiaS...have an idea, now to see if I can do it. Starters from CynthiaS also arrived before... that I have a plan for and will send them along with StoneFX's marbled background.

Hot and muggy here in San Diego...ugh....stay cool and happy arting over the long holiday weekend all...

I've been amazed by those shaving cream backgrounds, too. It looks like it's a high gloss paper? It amazes me that they don't curl. Are they just kind of picking up color without absorbing a lot?

Bah. Been on hols for a week (with very limited internet access) but am back now and was surprised to see no updates on the RRR thread in my subscriptions... then I checked the thread and realised we'd rolled to a new thread! :lol:

I've got a bit of a backlog of cards to get sorted but am planning to get them finished and sent out within the next week or two (bit of a crazy week ahead as DD1 is starting full-time school - with a staggered start where she does a morning on one day, an afternoon the next day, then goes onto full days - and we're also hoping to complete on the sale of our old house on Friday! Eep!

Anyhoo... just to keep you all up to date, the cards I currently have are:

Watercolour background with leaf stamping by Big Toe Studio and Ferretgirl
Patterned paper and die-cuts cards by Angelmuz and mzspurslasso
Two sets of altered playing cards by Castlequeen5
Pink and patterned paper background by Kentuckydakota
Newspaper and hand drawn/coloured card by ineedtocreate and Kentuckdakota

I think I also need to leave some itraders... am I right in thinking that for each completed set of RRR cards I take part in I need to leave itrader for the other two participants?

[prayer_at_night]

Yup, you got it exactly right, Alipeeps! Each co-artist gets an iTrader from you.

[prayer_at_night]

Oh, also worked on starters from Nancy today - sending them and a set of starters to LauraM540.

[MACE]

Hey guys, I'm making some time on Sundays when my son is working to do my ATC's. I just finished a set Maggie started and i have about 4 more sets to get out. Thanks for your patience. School is kicking my rear

[Alipeeps]

Bah. I still need to leave more iTraders but I need to leave multiples for some people and the system won't let me for another 2 hours!

[big toe studio]

I know, Ali, aint it the pits?

[big toe studio]

another metal foil set--what looks black here is shiny silver

[Nancy]

Cute, Big Toe, I need to buy me a corset like that...I could hardly get my dress zipped for church this morning!

[kentuckydakota]

I'm so there with ya Nancy.
Fun card Big Toe!

[JAD]

You ladies are so funny.

[lindagiese]

The silver foil...actually aluminum tape cards can be embossed with a stylus if you like.

Cynthia...if you have the really shiny(like photo paper) backgrounds...those are made with alcohol inks. The shaving cream background papers are more like cardstock.

I hear you on the waiting 2hours for a second...and third i trader...LauraM540...more coming your way.

Sending out 6 sets tomorrow! Alice in Wonderland from Teresa, Butterflies/calligraphy from Nancy, Butterflies & lettuce from Charisse, Butterfly charm/lettuce from Kate, Think Spring! from Cynthia, and 50 cent stamps going home to Crimsonrivulet from Teresa and me. Received lovely home sweet home card from Nancy/JAD. I will be doing itraders for all of you today

[ineedtocreate]

And here is Kate's!

[katelnorth]

Ooh, love those lettuce leaves - they look so real!

Oh, ok. Yeah, I was thinking of the alcohol ink cards.

[Alipeeps]

Right. Am up to date with my iTraders and working away on cards... inbetween sewing name labels into DD1's school uniform... my little girl starts full time school tomorrow morning! Eeep!

[prayer_at_night]

Finished a set from katelnorth, Hely and now me. Bad night time photo, the cards look better in reality!
