Oh my!!
Ooohhh, me thinks I feel the need to comment individually!

Smeagollum:
-Round 1: Adorable way to start the contest, it's really bright subject, the "Tag you're it" bit is really cute. I lke the goldenness of it, it adds to the whole "happy days" thing.

-Round 3: Wow that's SO different! It's a really cute idea on it's own, and i like how you incorporated the bow, thats awsome. Very nice. :]

-Round 5:Oohh, very cool! Is the thing you used in your in the picture that your subject is holding? I think thats what it is, it's my only guess, anyway, I like how bright this one is and the cool thing you did with that person! The various overlapping pictures of her, and all the brushes and things, very nice. :]

-Round 7: The colours! Awsome! Wow, this is a really great one, I like it a lot! It's really energetic and vibrant, it's alo incredibly unique too! Great job!


Celebwen:
-Round 2: Oh wow! Great! I like the whole parchment old feeling it has, I like how you used all the stock images, really like everything about it it, from the dried roses to the pictures of children, it's awsome.

-Round 4: I'm afraid I can't spot it at all! I'm dying to know what t is you used from the previous one! But this doesn't stop it from beign an awsome blend, I really like how there's a lot of black and white and then all the colour which makes it look like paint splatters, really cool.

-Round 6: Wowowowowow! Once again, very cool! Except Im afraid I cannot, once again, see what you used from the previous round! Maybe, I'm just blind. But this ones awsome, really great feel, all dancey and energetic, i like all the random little brushes and your ability to make everyting fit together!

Been a bit more than a week, hasn't it? Sorry 'bout that. Our router decided to die, leaving me 'sans internet'. But I'm back! I'll get round 8 done asap!



Thanks so much!
Round 4, I believe the little bit of text (on a green background) which I've scribbled over some words was cut an pasted from the previous one. In the bottom left hand corner. Round 6 is a music not, which I think is sort of embossed somewhere near the top middle, a little to the left. Kinda hard to spot.

Anyways, thank you for all the individual comments! Much appreciated.

Thank you so much Ms. Gamgee.

That's fine Celebwen, take your time.

Sorry it's taken so long! My inspiration/artistic talent went on holidays for a bit. I just couldn't get anything to work. Even now I'm not very happy with it. But it's here.



I'll post the credits later... I'll have to find all the links to the sites.

Thank you so much for doing this battle, Smea. It's been great fun.

That looks beautiful!

It was really fun for me also!
