2 Questions - Contest and Patterns Link

[justin2stamps]

The first question that I have is about the contest. I uploaded a card that needed to be shown both open and closed to get the whole gist of it. Is their anyway to combine the two pictures together because people are posting to either one or the other, or does it matter?
The second question is people are asking for the pattern for this card. It was actually a die cut, but I could make a drawn pattern for this card. Is their anyway to do this and then just add a link instead of individually emailing each person the scan?

As far as the scan of the pattern goes, a good idea is to do it as a message and then just post it under Techniques and Templates. You can attach a link to the card as well. Hope thet helps.

As far as teh gallery, sorry, not sure what to tell you, but I bet someone else (like Jenn, Beate, or Daven will)

I used Photoshop to meld two images into one so I could show the front and back of my card in the same image. You create a new document, then copy and paste your pictures into it to make a single image. So that it would be viewable in the gallery, I saved it as a JPEG rather than as a PSD (Photoshop document). Don't worry about the message warning you that info might be lost. For images, it's no biggie.

I believe that it is possible to insert HTML code into your gallery description. I added a link in the description of one of my cards that took you to a webpage for more info on the ministry project I made the card for. You could link to your template image one of two ways -- first, you could insert the link into the description of the item itself, and that way anyone who viewed it could just click on the link and get the template image. You could also post to the forums and either link to the gallery image of your template or attach the image file directly to your post. Just be sure that you write dimensions on your template, since a picture might not print out at the proper scale.

Clear as mud?

Yeah. What Rachel & Britta said.

More is in the works for patterns and such. We've created a gallery for them to start. That's about all I have to say about that. . . ;) Look for more info soon. Or later. It all depends on a buncha stuff!
