Christmas Card Contest! (adults 18yrs and over)

[erinryan333]

Oooh a project...Paddington and I will have to get something together this evening!

I just wanted to restate that I would prefer not to deal w/clipart...for a few reasons. First, it really isn't fair-taking the perfect chin pic can be hard...taking one that involves scenery is much harder...if a person were to "add" scenery after the pic were taken then it's almost like cheating because it involves no work at all...I think this contest should require a good amount of thought and work because of the prizes involved. Anyhow, I figured I'd restate this because I've had questions and comments concerning current and future entries. I will allow certain things...so if you really want to enter, you can contact me and I will let you know if your picture is appropriate or not :)

Well, after deliberation, I've decided to allow pics w/clipart...so, basically any Christmas themed chin pic can be entered but it must contain a saying for on the inside of the card. Also wanted to add again, that it'd be appreciated if people that enter (who've not donated items for prizes) can donate $1 to help cover the shipping of the prizes along with the printing of the cards.

Also, there have been a good deal of GREAT items donated and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all who've so generously contributed to this :)

I just really put mine in there to get some entries started!! I don't expect to win!!
Everyone listen, I am gone till after Tuesday and I'd love to come back to seeing a bunch of entries!! I expect to see MANY lovely cards for me to be able to buy a copy of:
1. To donate my money to a good cause!!
2. To be able to have enough cards to send out!!

Come on then!! I've already donated a $35.00 Limited Edition print by Eleesta, of the "Chinchilla Party" for a winner and some toys!! There's many other prizes .... hammocks, toys, and more I don't know about!! GET YOUR ENTRIES IN!! :)

Yeah, I really want a bunch of different entries that way like chincolores said...there are many to choose from when it comes to buying the cards AND winners are based on best picture...not the fact that only 2 people entered. I also wanted to post some picture taking tips for those who have a hard time (like me)

1.try taking the pic during the day when the chins are tired
2.try taking pics after playtime (chins are tired)
3.get everything set up for the pic, put the chin in it and give it a treat real quick

And YES there are MANY great prizes! We've got everything from hammocks to rosehips in the mix!

Here is my card, all graphics were done by me with a 3D graphics program, and all the chins are mine. The inside will say "And may your holiday be filled with Cheerios and raisins."
