Travis Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 Halloween is over and Christmas is right around the corner. Scrollers are starting to think about gifts and patterns to cut for loved ones. But since the Holiday season is also about helping others in need, we thought we'd continue the tradition we started couple years ago. SSV put together an e-Book full of Christmas ornaments. These ornaments will be exclusive to this eBook and designed by our talented SSV members. Folks are can download the ebook in exchange for a donation to their favorite charity. My hopes is that we'd be able to raise some money for very worthy causes, and provide some cool patterns at the same time. You can see what we put together last year here. So I'll need some volunteers to design some ornaments. Each designer will provide 5 patterns (no more, no less) I ask that the designs are not made available anywhere else (this gives value to the e-book) Designs must be emailed (or PM) to Travis by November 21st (info below) A few things to keep in mind: Religious and secular designs are accepted. Other religions also celebrate this time of year, so lets not forget them. Keep detail and size appropriate for an ornament. What do you get in exchange? Credit for your design. The warm fuzzy feeling that you're helping others in need. Submitting your ornaments: Email the ornaments directly to Travis (travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com) Formats accepted are JPG, PNG. Please keep the pattern in black & White only (no gray) . That way I can convert them easier when putting together the ebook. I'll also accept Inkscape files (SVG). This is ideal if you know how to use Inkscape. That way there is no conversion. I'm designing. Are you? So who's in? ChelCass and DonR 2 Quote

Travis Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Posted November 24, 2012 I'll be putting together the ebook today. Hopefully, itll be done by mid-afternoon. Until then, last year's book is available at the link in the first post. Quote
