Welcome to the forum's first holiday gift exchange activity. Instructions and dates for interested members in the link above.

I have an idea. Participants, help me make the first post a kick ass "splash page". If your time permits, you can create bits and pieces artwork to adorn/accesorize the splash. I've thought of a condom christmas tree with blinking lights pic (idea thanks to Ilaekae :} ) but the majority of you might find that offensive.

So, pm me with the link to your trinket/trimming/decoration pic or attach them in the discussion thread or somewhere else in the forum (if, like me, you don't have the attachment feature in this sub-forum) and I'll update the first post.

If you want it incorporated in the banner make something small 100 x 100 or less (or something avatar size) so I can fit it in.

Re: greeting card types of pics. For now let's try size restriction to 300 x 400. Incorporate your text message with the actual art. You can address anyone you like specifically (hopefully a CA member) or all of CA. Same thing, pm me with link or let me know where to dowload attachment so I can update the post.

If you have questions, tech issues, please post them in the gift exchange discussion thread (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=81502) in the Lounge.

Enjoy !!!:party:

...I'll make the tampon mistletoe.

Now, I'm a lil confused... its now officially OK to post the wrapped pics in this thread and say who it's for? Mine is looking to be quite tall vertically so it may not fit within the size standards you posted. I will try to shrink it but might lose too much detail :/

ahawhawhaw! just kiddiinnnggg. But forreals. I wish I had fake poo to give you, but I don't. I just couldn't be arsed to draw a gift box so I just grabbed something from the internet that I thought would make a substantial teaser for the REAL gift I am going to give you.

Hmmm. . . I wonder if I’m Chaosrock’s anonymous gift recipient. . . *shakes the box* Or maybe the party cracker is for me? *pokes the cracker with a stick *

There are so many great packages in this thread!

Hey Flip, could you perhaps explain how one turns an image into a link? Is it possible to do this if the image is posted here, or do I need to photobucket it? Thanks!

[Oops, pardon for the delayed response. This thread is designed to be low maintenance for the thread starter :wink: You guys do all the work til it's over!]

Your box image has to be a hosted pic and not an attachment for this to work.

Simply, edit your post. Highlight your image. Click the "Insert Link" icon in the message reply tool bar (it's the Globe with chain link icon, below the smiley face icon). Paste URL of your surprise unwrapped present.

Careful not to copy & paste the [IMG] tags, otherwise the link would be broken. Preview your post once or twice to make sure it works.

If you have further questions just PM so I can get back to you faster.

Flippers - Many thanks for organizing this! It was very enjoyable, and I hope that you keep the tradition up. I can't give you anything as valuble as Santa Corpse did, but I offer up my gratitude and offer my help if you ever need an extra dose of sarcasm or any other type of help of any kind.

I'll do better than poo Ms. Ent.

I know it's not much, but this (http://www.rhinohidestudios.com/5fE.jpg) is for you.
And John, this (http://www.rhinohidestudios.com/5fj.jpg) is for you.
Anyone else who signed up and didn't receive anything let me know!

It could be that this event got lost in the chaos of the workshop or actual holiday hubub, but there's no reason anyone who signed up for this should be left out.


Merry Christmas folks! :D :yayca:

Big thanks for the generous assist Ostrander.

I knew this was gonna happen. Too bad my charity box t-dome idea was DOA.

Maybe for next year we'll require a "deposit" gift from each participant prior to the match up.

Big thanks for all who actually participated (workshop people feel free to do your presentations as soon as it's convenient for you). I actually consider this event a success, and something we can use as reference for future activity ideas.

As I've mentioned I have a Valentines themed one which I'll propose...next month! (February is just two months away). I hope you'll consider trying that out too. "Why?" Consider for a minute the male-female ratio of CA. "M'kay, so...what?" Two words: Random selection. :wink:

Re: Easter themed activity. Yep, I've thought of crazy ideas already - one that went straight into the reject bin involves spamming the internet with conceptart.org labeled easter eggs.:O

Seedling, do you have an idea for this?

--------

See ya in the next group activity.

Peace!

Ostrander you're a true gentleman!!! Thank you so much!!! :D
So, although just slightly better than that poo of yours, I made you a small present! Sorry for the sloppy job... but you know what they say, it's the thought what counts ;)
Here it is! Hope you like it!

HAHA!! Ent, I LOVE it! I don't suppose I could get a larger version of that for my desktop could I? If it's no trouble that is.
And also I totally agree with you, it is the thought that counts and you my dear are very thoughtful!
Thank you! :D

I'm so glad you liked it!! :D
And although the bigger size just makes its sloppiness more evident, there you have it Ostrander: http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/6641/ostranderwallpaperbc1.jpg

oh... oh... OH

oops..

I read in the thread that this was a Chrismas gift exchange so I thought it would be logical that the actual exchange of gifts would be on chrismas..? :S

Ah well I'm Anonymous1 :^^:

And John. here (http://www.marleenrenders.com/john) is your present!
Sorry for the delay.

And Chaos.. I LOVE your present.. :teeth:
Just didn't have time to read it all, since I'm flooded with homework (that's also the reason why I didn't notice that we already had to send in our gifts..)

Lots of christmas love,
Marleen

Oh, I was just thinking we could do a variant on what you did here: we exchange eggs or chocolate bunnies, and on the big day we link ‘em to an image of what’s inside.


To anybody who didn’t get a present:

Post a link in this thread to something you’ve posted at CA and request a “Christmas Crit.” I’m not sure just yet what a Christmas Crit is, but I suspect there will be marshmallows involved. ;-) Ho ho ho!

Regular crits also available on request to anyone and everyone. :-)
