Anyone want to go head to head

[Jaygre]

I'm thinking about giving this a shot( not sure I'm ready for this!) - Any takers - Let's discuss :)

[snowflakejen]

I haven't done one yet myself ....... but am very interested!!! What are you thinking?

[Jaygre]

Wow, what a tough competitor, I was hoping a smurf might pop up. You're SO good, but I am willing to give it a go. The only area that terrifies me is illustration, the rest is only frightening.............. What were you thinking?

[swillox]

Illustration ! :D

[MarcelSpijker]

[QUOTE=swillox]Illustration ! :D[/QUOTE]

:notangel: Illustrate the thing that terrifies you.

[snowflakejen]

I'm game for just about anything ...... and for the record ....... you have more wins than I do. I'm the one who is intimidated!!!!! Are we brave enought to let everyone else decide (THAT could be fightening).

[swillox]

Flowers ! (cf: your av's) photo+photoshop ??

[snowflakejen]

oooooo - could be interesting........ jaygre?

[Jaygre]

I'm game to go on someone else's suggestion; flowers, OK! Combining some way? Or shall we let the group decide? Group?

or, we could do a montage/collage of "dressing up a picture" with flowers, plants, etc. I suggested some time ago about a contest in which we take a person (photo, provided by admins or other members) and dress and decorate the pic with all growing plants, flowers, trees, etc.) Grass for hair (know what I mean?) :)

[snowflakejen]

sounds fun. I like the "dress it up" picture! If we could get a picture from someone......

[Jaygre]

Well, OK!! - Anyone out there - two ladies here need your help?

[swillox]

Would you feel inspirated by this:

the original is +- 5mb high-res, just tell me what you need

[Dave]

You will need permission to use that image as it is of a child.

[swillox]

she can't write already, Sam is my youngest daughter.

[Jaygre]

Sorry for not getting back sooner, swillbox, am at work so can only pop in and out. I don't know about Jen, but I was thinking of a picture that had a larger focus on the person (complete figure, or almost so) - She's adorable, by the way - any others?

[Dave]

There's no hope for the human race then .... :D

[snowflakejen]

Probably my thought as well.

[Jaygre]

I'm still trying to find a good photo to go with, I haven't forgotten - Please, anyone out there with a good photo of a person, child or adult willing to let Jen and I use in a contest? We would like to work with something not belonging to either of us...

Thanks - - - - - - :)

[msfrigyfrog]

how about this one and yea you can use it its my grandson and i use his photos all the time so feel free to use if you like it

sorry had to change the size ooops oh well here it is now

[Jaygre]

What a handsome little boy! Do you have one of him standing outside or in the house? Jen, if you're out there - what do you think?

Thank you for your offer!, Msfrigyfrog :)

[snowflakejen]

a possiblity.........

[Silky]

Have you ladies checked out any of the stock photo sites for a picture to use? They have lots of images of people. I'm sure you could find something that would work. :)

[Happy]

Another possiblity is to use a statue - like the Statue of David or the Venus DeMillo or one similar.

[snowflakejen]

Jaygre - how about we take David (as suggested by Happy) and dress him.......still using flora and fauna?
an idea....

[Jaygre]

Yes that would be good, and there are these as well. YOU decide. :) They are all Hemera Stock Photos

[msfrigyfrog]

lol i have over 5000 pix of him i will see if i can get you something if you like just loaded something already on the pc i will get you something different

[Jaygre]

Thank you Msfrigyfrog!

[msfrigyfrog]

well how about this one

[Jaygre]

I think he's perfect - Jen? Msfrigyfrog - this contest would be anything goes to make him a part of nature. Would you be allright with that? Nothing inappropriate, of course!

[msfrigyfrog]

of course i think it would be fun to see what you guys come up with i know all will be appropriate and i would love to see it have fun with it cant wait to view it do i get to vote if you use this photo????

[Jaygre]

Thank you! OK, Jen - no pressure here, anything you now decide is fine with me.

Joanie :hug:

Oh, and yes you can vote - WE can't!

[Silky]

Oh my goodness, msfrigyfrog...he's PRECIOUS!! :)

[MarcelSpijker]

i want to see a good :darth: :D

Great shots of you grandson Msfrigyfrog!

[snowflakejen]

msfrigyfrog's photo will work for me! We need to decide time frame and the rest of the specifics........I know I will need a few days!!!! What does your schedule look like?
We need to figure out the following:


- Participants?: (someone vs. someone)
- Type of Contest: (photoshop,photography,illustration,etc.)
- Theme or Description: (Details and Descriptions)
- Submission Time? (When do entries need to be done by?)
- Will Participant's Vote? No, participants will not vote
- What are the stakes? (losatar, bragging rights, etc.)

[Jaygre]

I have quite a busy schedule today and this weekend but if we deadline for Wed or Thurs, the 4th, I should have time. So, how about:

Participants?: Jaygre vs. Snowflakenjen
- Type of Contest: (photoshop,photography manipulation)
- Theme or Description: (Using msfrigyfrogs pic, create a child in or of nature using only flora or fauna from photos, and any photoshop work)
- Submission Time? (Voting starts on the 5th?)
- Will Participant's Vote? No, participants will not vote
- What are the stakes? (bragging rights or your choice?)

And, can we get a high-res picture of Msfrigyfrog's grandson some way? Admins?

I'm getting excited. :)

[Silky]

To get a high res version of msfrigyfrog's image she may have to email it to you guys personally. The forums won't allow a large enough upload, and I doubt that the galleries would either. My suggestion would be for each of you to PM her with your email address and ask her to email you a large version of the image...or, if she has webspace someplace else, she could always post it in her space and give you two the link. Or she could even email the image to me (or Happy) and I could upload it to the themepost area we have on the site and use it as your themepost (instead of the cage match standard themepost), and you could get the full version that way. :)

[snowflakejen]

Jaygre - sounds good to me! Let's use it as the theme post (if the admins don't mind the extra work). If Msfrigyfrog could e-mail the photo to Silky or happy, it would be very much appriciated. I'm ready to go!

[Jaygre]

Jen - I think Msfrigyfrog is trying to figure out how to email direct to admins - there's no way to post large uploads through this site - can we help her out some way - I don't have an email address for admins. I'm probably missing it somewhere. :)

[msfrigyfrog]

im trying to send it to the address that Jaygre sent me its trying to attach as we speak. sorry took so long to respond but eli is here with me now and when he is here he keeps his nana very busy. he has to go home tonight so i will check back and see if this works if not i can send it again to wherever you guys need it thanks for all the nice compliments about eli being so cute we think he is pretty special but then im NOT the least bit prejudice lol

[Jaygre]

OK, I think we have it all in place for emails. Everybody has everybodys email address so hopefully all can be a go, soon. Whew, it sure can get complicated (at least for me). I always make it more difficult for myself (Enough self-pity here)

[Silky]

Okay ladies, I've got the image from msfrigyfrog and have uploaded it to the themepost area. I'll get this match set up for you as soon as possible!

EDIT: Match is posted, girls! :)

[Jaygre]

Thank you ALL - I'm off and running - get your tennis shoes on Jen :)

[snowflakejen]

woo hoo!!!!!!!!! Hope you can run fast! :p

[Jaygre]

Well, I learned a hard lesson (and I knew better). Worked on this for quite awhile, didn't save and my program crashed - lost about 1-1/2 hrs. Time I should have spent cleaning the basement. Anyway, I'll be off and running, again..............................Now you really have to worry :) How are you doing, Jen?

[snowflakejen]

Truthfully? Haven't gotten very far:blush: I've been very good girl and have been working on a yearbook deadline...... but just you wait. I do my best work under preasure and it isn't even close to freak out time yet:crazy:

[Dave]

No scratching, no gouging .... :stooges:

[Jaygre]

OK Jen, getting close to deadline - are you quaking in your boots yet - panic time? Terror in the heart? You can concede now if you want to, no hard feelings?????? :scared:

:wine: Congrats on your great win, by the way - great entry

[snowflakejen]

Thanks and no way!!! I worked my little fingers to the bone last night - it is you who should be living in fear..... ah, ha, ha, ha, ha (my wicked witch laugh just doesn't sound the same when typed?!):devil:

[Jaygre]

You're RIGHT, that witchly cackle just doesn't just doesn't frighten me at all. You have to lower your voice a little, put your tongue between the third and fourth tooth (a witch only has two or three anyway), and kind of growl that "laugh" out... Then, stand on your head for about 17 minutes, turn OFF the computer, go to work, and forget about the cage match.

That sounds about right, snowitch! :)

By the way, good luck on the contest (kind of...) :slap:

:lol:

[snowflakejen]

:rofl:

And good-luck to you as welll! I am anxious to see what you have done!!! Can't wait to read "Boy did I get my butt kicked by the 'snowitch'!!!" in your signature!!!!:D

[Jaygre]

Oh, no, dearie, it'll be the other way around, only "Boy, did I get my butt kicked by Jaygre, the Illustrious Illusionary".

Hey, if we keep this up the admins are going to have to start a NEW forum called "Word Battles". :)

[msfrigyfrog]

i cant wait to see both entries if no one objects im planning to print both for the grandsons scrapbook

[Jaygre]

I'm sure both of us will send you hi-resolution pictures if you will message us with your email address. Of course we can't do that until after the contest is over, or you'll know which is which. Hint, hint...... :) Eli's so adorable, it was hard for me to make sure and do him justice. Tomorrow is the vote day (I think). This has been so exciting, and I've had a lot of fun with Jen.

Fondly,

[snowflakejen]

This has been fun!!! Thanks again for the pict msfrigyfrog! I have enjoyed doing battle with you Jaygre!! We will have to do it again sometime!!

[msfrigyfrog]

my email is : msfrigyfrog@yahoo.com i would love the hi res copy thanks

[Jaygre]

Thank you msfrigyfrog, and you too, Jen, for the great "debate". LOVE your new avatar! I noticed that your birthday is September 6. Well, no wonder great minds travel the same road. Mine is the 4th - Both Virgos, and THAT's scarey :)

[snowflakejen]

Congratulations Jaygre!!! Your entry was simply awesome!!! What would you like my signature to read????

[Jaygre]

Jen - it was really close - congratulations on yours as well - I should tell you, that my husband, Jim, liked yours best so your signature should be something like - "I lost this time to Jaygre, but the NEXT one is a whole new ballgame" That way we'll have to do it again.
Thank you for being such a fun competitor. :)

Joanie

[snowflakejen]

It is done (and you are being very kind). :bow:

Me -->:buttkick: <-- Jaygre


:wine: until next time.........
