My Life With IT

I completed the bag design for a competition. I’m quite happy with it as I love hearts and floral brushes. The heart was made using Hawksmont Hearts brush in Photoshop. The green leaves are from Hawksmont too. And the curling yellow vines are from Melemel.

The bag’s theme is Love Nature. I love nature and would have included more but it would have killed my initial intention of keeping it not so cluttered.

I don’t know if there are payments for working with Agva in this case. I would love to be able to repay the brush designers though.

It’s so exciting! There are 30 Premium WordPress Themes to be won! These are given away by WPThemeDesigner.com. Check out the prizes below.

Blogging anonymously hurts your chances in certain contests. Perhaps in too many contests. Upon hearing the great giveaway for tickets, one would be every excited and will participate only to realise that others who have blogged about it, won the tickets in minutes by a call. Not by email as the flyer in the website had stated.

If putting a photo of a blogger on the blog means having more chances of winning contests, then where is the fairness? I could be cynical here or just plain jealous. I don’t know which. Perhaps, it was due to my negativeness for it that it hurt my chances. If that’s the case, then it isn’t ready for constructive criticism.

Heck, I could really be just jealous for all I know.
