Exclamation How the Quickpage Exchange Works

How it Works:
The challenge is posted on the 10th of each month
Entries close on the 15th of the month.
You will have your pages by the 20th of the month.

Each month we feature a kit by SBB store designers.
Purchase the kit at a great discount in the store between the 15th and 20th of the month (if you havent already bought it)

Create a 8x8 quickpage at 300ppi. You must contribute one (& no more than 2) 8x8 quickpages to participate. You may ONLY use the contents of the kit above that you have purchased, you may use your program tools to create shapes etc but you must not use any designer product that requires credit for use.

Save in PNG format at 300ppi (you may use JPG if you do not know how to create a quickpage - if in JPG please make sure the photo markers are white)

Name your file
*insertYourSBBMemberName*_SBB_QP0107
eg mrslids_SBB_QP0107.png

Create a Notepad (START>Program Files>Accessories>Notepad) or wordpad or MSWord file and include your
SBB Member Name
Real Name
Valid Email Address (if you have a yahoo adress please use an alternate email address if possible)
Name the file
* insertYourSBBMemberName*_SBB_QP0107.txt

Create and post a preview of your quickpage to Gallery> Challenges and Crops> Forum Challenge: Quickpage Exchange Challenge

Zip togther the PNG file, the preview file and the file containing your details. Name the zip file *insertYourSBBMemberName*_SBB_QP0107.zip

Upload your file to a filesharing host such as YousendIt or 4shared - a tutorial for these services can be found here

Private Message (PM) me the link to download the file. I must receive your link by 15th of the month - there will be NO EXCEPTIONS. You will receive a reply when I have successfully downloaded the file and confirmed it is valid. IF there is a problem you
will be notified and given a chance to correct it. PLEASE help me out and make sure you have read and obeyed all of the rules above to minimise that happening.

I will collate all the files. My aim is to have the Exchange pages available no later than the 20th. You will then receive an email with information on how to claim your pages. I will also post in the forum to let you know emails have been sent. It is your responsibility to check your PM's (I suggest turning on your Email Notifications in your Settings) or the forum for updates! There will be no extensions.

If you have any questions either post or PM me.

Have you read everything carefully?

Great! Hope you play along with us! Watch out for the posting on the 10th!
