02/28/12 LAST CHANCE for ADDITIONAL OPTION: If you are already signed up and on one team, but would like to mix it up and do ANOTHER JAM, but a different step let me know. I can mix up the teams and steps so you can do more than one with a different step. Just for fun!!
If you enjoy making ATCs and want to do some in a different manner let's do some JAMS. I love making ATCs and have had tons of fun with JAMS. Basically "JAM" means "just add more".
Some folks add the 's' for "JAMS" and that means "just add more stuff.
JAMS are basically a team effort and this is how they work:
- you work in teams of THREE and together make THREE ATCs. You are only doing ONE step on THREE ATCs. Easy.
Player #1 makes THREE ATCs but only does the base and background and sends all three to:
Player #2 who does the main image to coordinate with the background done by #1 and then . . .
Player #2 sends all three to:
Player #3 who completes all THREE with embellishments, such as beads, buttons, bows . . whatever they feel works with the overall design.
THEN, Player #3 keeps one ATC for herself and sends ONE EACH back to Players #1 and #2
TEAM ONE - FINISHED:
Player #1: DEBBIE - backing/background
Player #2: CATHERINE - main image
Player #3: TERESA - finish/embellish
TEAM TWO: - FINISHED
Player #1: BETH - backing/background
Player #2: DEB - main image
Player #3: JESSI - finish/embellish
TEAM THREE: FINISHED
Player #1: ANDREA - backing/background
Player #2: KIM - main image
Player #3: CJ - finish/embellish
TEAM FOUR: FINISHED(started 02/28/12)
Player #1: TERESA - backing/background
Player #2: SHARON - main image
Player #3: KIM - finish/embellish
Make sense? Wanna play?
Sign up here to participate and I'll put you together in teams of three with the "assignment" of who does which step.
We'll do teams as we get signups. For example, as soon as we get three I'll give you the "go for it" for a team.
SIGN UPS CLOSE Saturday, February 25th.
Be sure you understand the process for JAMS and that you will have a maximum of 10 days to complete your step after you have received them. We need to be able to start, finish and mail in a timely manner!
Most of all . . they are fun! And we get to share our creativity.
Email me if you have any questions.
Let's "JAM"!

I am so glad that you like it!!
I realized after I sent them out that I didn't put " __of 3" on them. So on my ATC I have 3 of 3. If Debbie would like to put 1 of 3 and Catherine 2 of 3 then they will be "complete"!!
PS. Love you too Debbie
