For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

13.9 - 4.10.2004 (That gives you three weeks to make your entries)


That should answer your question :) I might keep it going for another week after that, if I reeeaaally want more entries, but no longer than that.

Oh come on people, won't you enter with some more sets? :D Remember to check the added links in the first post.

Bumpers ^^

btw, If I'm correct it should end this week.

Mon Oct 04, 2004 12:24 pm

Ok, here's the deal; I'm aware of that this contest is suppose to end today BUT I'm very disappointed that no one has made a set of the images I have linked to in my first post.

This brings me to that the contest will go on for another week, no longer though, as I know those of you who have entered already want to know who the winners are (I've been there myself many times :P)

Pleeeeese enter won't you? *looks at with puppy eyes*

One more ... I looked at that gorgeous dancer image and had to try something ...

everconfused - Yay, more sets :D I absolutely love the image effects you have in the set, lighter stripes, image a bit blurred, nice colors, it really fits together, great job! ... *sneaks back, psst* nice subtext too ;)

Oh Silja, thank you. You are so nice! That set is kind of a "fluke" - I'm still struggling with psp, you see. But I was trying out some of the effects I hadn't been able to understand before and I actually liked the way it all turned out - quite a surprise.

The subtext is a combo of something I read in a wonderful little book and my own philosophy - being a dancer (not ballet, I'm not that good or disciplined).

Ack!
I just figured out what was wrong with my set - it needs a thicker border!

I'll have a new version up tonight. Maybe I'll even try another set if I have time... :P

I think it's great already, but as I make sets myself I know how it feels when you see some detail in one and absolutely want to change it :D

And yay! My puppy eyes were a success :P

Also, everconfused, I think with just a bit of training with psp you'll be at the top in no time! I'll load up the other version of your set later on today, I'm quite in a hurry at the moment.

Yay, much better! My new host won't let me put images directly onto forums, so here's the links:
