Challenge has started for the Name Books

April 19, 2007 By Chris Durnan

For my downloaders…. I will take 5 requests for additional files to finish your creation. Already I have one from Joni for a heart shape in the square set. So four more! Post a comment here and I will take them in the first order posted under the comments on this blog. I will post them to the blog for everyone to have by next week.



Here are the details for the challenge…
Quick Links….
Here is the link to the forum at Paperthreads.
Here is the link to the challenge gallery where pictures need to be posted.


Everyone wants to see a sample of a Name Book sometimes called a Word Book. So I am running a challenge based on those created from the name/word book files I have offered as freebies and now available for purchase in the store.

Post your pictures at the Challenge Gallery to be voted on.

Criteria to enter the challenge:
1) The criteria is that the book base is created from my name/word book files either the square or rounded font. Anything you embellish it with and anyway you put it together would be your creative license. Any other designers files are welcome as long as the base is made from my Name/Word book letters from either set. (If it is questionable that your file is not based on my files then your entry will be invalid.)

2) It is posted in the Challenge gallery at Paperthreads starting any time through May 20th, 2007.

3) The book must be a minimum of 5 letters/numbers/symbols total and as long as you’d like.

4) Voting will start on May 22nd, and will run through May 30th. With the winners announced on or around June 3rd, 2007.

They will be voted on by the members of the forum at Paperthreads.

First Place: I will send you up to ten files of your choice from my past blog posts.
Second Place: I will send you up to five files of your choice from my past blog posts.

Some of my blog posts are not up at Paperthreads for sale. So this is your chance to get them now after they have been taken down.

Hopefully, I have answered most everything. But if not, post any questions.


I have a sample of my name book up on my blog and in the designer gallery there. As well as, another sample from Joni here. Make sure to post your photos in the challenge gallery because that is where they will be voted on.

Be Creative and Enjoy!!!

Chris.

Fine Print for winners: Each freebie given away on my blog counts as one file choice. Some sets have more then one download, i.e. Name Books and could count for multiple choices. For those who have been with me from the start and don’t have a file they have missed, I will keep a running log of your choices and you have until August 31st to use it up on any future missed freebies offered on my blog. (Great for those summer month vacations when we are away from our computers & cutters!) The winning file choices only come from my blog and not the Paperthreads Store. Winner’s pictures will be posted on my blog after voting is finished, entering the contest is an agreement for use of these photos with credit given to the creator, by myself for future promotions. There is no monetary value associated with this challenge. Entering your photo of project in this challenge is an agreement to the above terms.

Namebook Challenge is coming!

April 17, 2007 By Chris Durnan

Okay so I am working out the kinks, but there will be a Namebook Challenge held on the Paperthreads forum with either of my Namebook files and they must be 5 letters or longer. Pretty much the only basics will be they have to be a book from my files used for the base, but you can use any other designers or my own files to embellish it. So if you have downloaded them and started to play! Now is the time. I will announce it here and at the Paperthreads forum when it goes live. So for now. Here is a fantasticccccc Namebook creations sent to me by Joni Damico…

She writes ……
I attached the pics. You can post them if you like them. It spells Sharon 🙂 Also I noticed on the some of the pics she cut off the side of the letters. They aren’t like that, they cut very nice. This was the first project that I have done with the Wishblade! It was so easy with the awesome files that you made.
I also didn’t cut out 2 of each letter, I just used double sided paper instead. Hope you enjoy.


Way to go Joni, It is beautiful!!

Okay and if you get a chance check out this project at the Paperthreads Gallery. It include my Dog file. I love it and think it so super cute! If the owner of the picture wants to email me the picture as well I will post it here on the blog with credit listed. I just think it is super cute, but didnt want to post it here without permission. It reminds me of my Dad’s & Brother’s big ‘ol dogs. I grew up with hunting dogs all my life with big floppy ears and now I have heelers with Pointy ears and barely a flop to the either. I think my Brother and Dad probably figure I have lost my morals when it comes to dogs. hahaha. But they have black roofs in their mouths which was something my Grandpa attributed to smarts in a dog. So it is a rule of thumb for us in the family when it comes to dogs. I wonder how that works for horses. hahaha. can’t imagine looking at the roof of a horses mouth with those big ol teeth. yowser! Well anyways make sure to check it out. debenj posted it and I love it! Debbie sent me an email with the picture from the layout. Here it is. Super Cute!

YEAHHHHH!!!

April 12, 2007 By Chris Durnan

Thank you Thank you Thank you to everyone who posted a review at Paperthreads. Michelle the owner of Paperthreads actually commented on all the reviews.
All I can say in thanks is to keep offering my freebie files.

I must say I am bouncing up and down off the walls and grinning from ear to ear with all the reviews!! It really made my day. I am going to go sit down and read them all.

Then work on the next file for you guys some more and play with my son some because it is his 3rd birthday today and we have a train set sitting in the middle of our living room. One of those imaginarium wooden ones. He is loving it. Apparently sitting in the middle of the track circle is the best seat to play and also he is singing Happy Birthday For You! while he is playing and I am typing this message.

Again Thank you
And Enjoy!

Chris
