I have the following code (somewhat simplified ...

create_table :signatures do |t|
  t.integer :signer_id
  t.integer :card_id

  t.timestamps
end

With the models looking like ...

class Signature < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :card
    belongs_to :user
end

class Card < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :signatures
    has_many :signers, :through => :signatures, :foreign_key => "card_id"
end


class User < ActiveRecord::Base

    has_many :sent_cards, :class_name => "Card", :foreign_key => "sender_id"
    has_many :received_cards, :class_name => "Card", :foreign_key => "recipient_id"

    has_many :signatures
    has_many :signed_cards, :through => :signatures, :foreign_key => "signer_id"

end

I see the following error using the rails console ...

ruby-1.9.2-p0 > u15.signed_cards
ActiveRecord::HasManyThroughSourceAssociationNotFoundError: Could not find the source association(s) :signed_card or :signed_cards in model Signature. Try 'has_many :signed_cards, :through => :signatures, :source => <name>'. Is it one of :card or :user?
