If your contest entries were not referenced above, and you were expecting to see them, then please send me another email<\/a>. I will look into the matter for you.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Contest Rules & Guidelines<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

First be sure to browse through the entries that have been posted to date. This will give you a good feel for how everything works. The photos from last week are posted here:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

June 23, 2010: <\/strong>#1 to #15 Contest Entries Posted – Polymer Clay Bead Giveway<\/a>: <\/span>“…then along came Phase 3 of your bead give away contest! I am now the proud owner of a little…” ~Susan-B<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

By clicking on the links directly under each of the entry photos, you will be taken to web pages created by the contest participants. Each of these contest entry web pages must have the following 3 common elements to be included in the contest:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1) <\/strong><\/span>A photo or a series of photos relating to techniques learned here at the blog or at the members video library. These images can be uploaded to your blog or to any other web site that allows you to publicly share photos on the Internet (i.e. Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, PictureTrail, FacebookPages, etc.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2) <\/strong><\/span>A description or caption about your project. Creative stories are always a fun to read. Everyone loves to be entertained, amused or inspired :-)<\/span><\/p>\n

3) <\/strong><\/span>An anchor text<\/em> link (or multiple links) pointing back to the pages here at my blog that provided you with creative inspiration for your project. The best pages to link to are usually the Tuesday Teaser<\/em> video posts. And when I say anchor text<\/em>, that means the link is series of two or three or four contextual words that are clickable<\/em>. You’ll see some good examples by looking at today’s contest entries below. Plus there is more discussion on the topic in the following comment thread: Creating Anchor Text Links<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

After you have completed the three steps listed above, you will then need to send me an email which includes a direct link to your contest entry page or pages. You can enter as often as you like.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a regular basis (weekly if enough entries are submitted), I will publish a summary of the most recent contest entries… just like I have done above in today’s post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that if your photos are only posted on your Facebook Wall, I will not be able to include them in these summary posts at my blog. This is because they will only be viewable by Facebook users, and\/or your Facebook friends. What you will need to do is also post your pics on pages that are publicly available.<\/span><\/p>\n

The winner will be the person who sends the most number of visitors to my site from the links you post at your contest entry pages. There is more information about the contest and prizes at the following two links.<\/span><\/p>\n

June 14, 2010:<\/strong> Phase 3 \u2013 Polymer Clay Bead Give Away \u2013 Your Feedback Needed<\/a>: “I still get butterflies in my stomach when I realize that I actually won this fabulous collection of beads!” ~Carolyn-F<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

June 17, 2010:<\/strong> More Discussion\u2026 Polymer Clay Tutor Bead Giveaway (Phase 3)<\/a>: ” “If there is anyway we can help do this and keep your contests going I vote YES, YES, YES!”
\n~Peggy-B<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Additional Q&A and Commentary<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Very impressive work on this page Cindy. I like how you put phase three together. Especially the showing of everyones work. We have some very talented people on here.<\/span> ~Brenda-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope there are lots more entries, it’s so fun to see all the pretty and inspirational work. I’m a bit surprised, is everyone just getting a slow start? It looks like the rules allow the entries from the first contest<\/a> to be used again. If you entered the first contest but haven’t been claying much lately, you can still do this! Just post them on your blog or photo-sharing site and add links back to the appropriate tutorial post here at the blog. <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy: you just pull it all together in such a brilliant way and with such apparent ease. It thrills me to part of anything you do since you really do it SO well. I am really looking forward to visiting all the “Cindy inspirated” sites!<\/span> ~Susan-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
