First challenge

I have found a kit called tinker here's the link
http://www.everydaymomideas.com/2010/07/tinker-free-digital-scrapbooking-kit.html

I would like you to make a name tag from this kit. The size for a name tag is 550 x 300 pixels

You have a week to complete it. This is open to creators as well as the trainees

Are we allowed to use fonts or do we have to stick with the alpha?

I don't think there is an alpha in it lol
You can use an alpha or a font of your choosing

I already have that freebie kit xD Will get on this tomorrow! x

I've given it a go (first thing I've designed in a while! lol!)

Used Chelle's Zachary because I know she calls him a tinker tot, lol!

aww abs hun thats really cute , but the challenge was for a name siggy lol xx

That is fabby Abbie and I'm sure Chelle will love it xx

FUCK! Pmsl!!! That'll teach me *hangs head in shame* right, I will do one of those too!!! PMSL!

Ah what a shame! It's lovely and I'm sure your name tag will be too

I'm not used to boy things haha x

here's my attempt

Well doesn't look like anyone else is going to participate in this challenge

Fab attempt Vickie, I like it I only have a few points of cc. I would have used a white stroke on the alpha as it really doesn't stand out too much. On a name tag the most important thing is getting the name to really stand out. Looking at the name it looks like you have put each letter underneath the circle and then erased bits. If you look carefully you will see that the letter Y looks likes it's smudged. This is where the dropshadow has overlapped. The letter E is missing some of the stroke again this is due to the letter being placed under the circle. It is really useful when doing name sigs to keep the letters seperate, or to duplicate the letters you want on top and just lay them ones above. This method will help you with picture sigs too. I use it fairly often xx

Thanks hun. I was so frustrated with the drop shadow but have since figured out all I have to do is duplicate it and not do the shadow on the top one. I'm not very bright lol x

Most of what we learn is by trial and error my dear, I only just worked out how to do it a few months ago

I don't feel so bad now lol x

Girls, i just went to download this kit from the site (late, i know, *hangs head in shame*) and got a norton pop up saying it had blocked a virus from attacking my computer, so im not gonna download it just incase my computer goes up in a puff of smoke! xx
