Let’s try this: SHOW US YOUR rubber STAMPS! You choose all the colours and papers and the back ground image. I choose the object(s) of the month. I’ll give several options like: This month’s foreground image will be either a FLOWER, a CAT, a HOUSE or a BOAT. And if you don’t have one of those, you can scoop an image from the internet and print it. In detail: So let’s say you have a a polka-dot rubber stamp (for back ground.) You can ink it up in black or green or red, (or what ever color you like.) You can stamp it on to white, or purple or orange paper (or what ever color or colors you like.) Then, on another (your choice of color) paper, you’ll choose the ink color(s) and stamp the object of the month. You’ll cut that out, either fancy or as close to the edges as looks nice, color it, then glue it on to your background. You’ll add an embellishment of some sort and “Bob’s Your Uncle.” (Ever heard that expression before? Quite strange, I think.) The ATC has to be in portrait mode or orientation. That is the 3.5” is the side and the 2.5 is the top. And it has to be done on sturdy paper like a cereal box cut to size. And of course, no sticker slapping. On the back put your swap-bot name, swap name and any other info you'd like to include. That's it, join in, have fun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I looked it up:~~~~~~~~~~~~ ‘Bob’s yYour Uncle’ means ’EASY’ -- Why? Turns out that Conservative Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil gave his nephew a posh job for which he was totally unqualified. So, people would say something like, “It’s easy to get a good job if Bob’s your uncle.” |
