I couldn't resist that pup either! Thanks for the donation Peggy! I decided to paint the photograph, so here's my attempt at humor...

I always got a kick out this photo, with names like Morris and Ebenezer, but never had the chance to do anything with it...so go for it everyone! Any creations you make you are free to make money on! http://i52.tinypic.com/2hxybz6.jpg

Hi Denise,

The idea is to FIRST make an art contribution, then create actual cards from the contributions made by others.

I've created one actual card from each contribution thus far, and at the same time on some I posted a 500p-wide version of the image here mainly to show "instant" feedback and to help interest build in this idea.

Others created a private card (waiving review) and posted that link, which is fine. I'm sure they've also created and submitted a public card.

Nice job on my ocean man contribution, btw. As a Dad of a wonderful daughter, I appreciate all cards that give us some credit for even existing.

===================
Here's my morning madness using Doreen's recent donation. Thanks!

I think what I'll do, is figure out how to "widget" (used as a verb, go figure!) the cards made with my image, and feature it on my blog and in my storefront - drive traffic to you and get some referral kaching at the same time! And then find a new image to tempt you with - LOL!

Love it Tom! Good luck on the sales!

Thanks Peggy...we've all done such fun designs with that silly Doberman!

I'll pass on some 'widget' knowledge...

Using a different email, join GCU and create that widget using the Member's Corner. In case you don't know, if you change a widget here at GCU, it changes them every where you have them. So I have 2 one for my store and one as a Member that I use to promote other artists.

Also, I'm sure if you asked GCU they would let all of us use some unique keyword, such as 2011ARTDOG so that you can pull only those cards up. If you don't do something like that, you won't be able to get what you are after.

Great idea Tom and so much fun!

What a GREAT idea Doreen - about a 2011ARTxxxyyyzzz code for the Community Art Exchange! I'll ask Mindy now about that .. and report back. Then I would propose that we each, along WITH our art offering, list our requested Keyword Code ...

And thank you for the wonderful tip about a second email account - I was thinking that if I changed my widget it would change them all from my current setting (my featured cards) ... I appreciate the simple work around!
