Design Contest: Mum’s the Word
A fun subway art inspired word cloud card for Mother's Day featuring lots of popular sayings about mothers and sweet design elements like shoes, hearts, and other contemporary doodles.
Mother’s Day is on May 13th this year (the U.S. version of the holiday, anyway) so I thought, why not have a Design Contest to honor all those wonderful women we call Mom!
So here’s how Design Contest: Mum’s the Word works:
You have until May 3rd to give us a link in the comment’s section of this post to a Mother’s Day card at GCU. On May 4th, I’ll post all the entries and voting will begin. Voting will continue until May 9th. On May 10th, I’ll announce the winner. Sound good? Then get going and don’t miss the deadline!
The prize for the winning card will be the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate, $10 MyFonts.com gift certificate, or 5 free card credits!
BONUS VOTES:
For any artist who posts a card other than their own (another artist’s), I’ll award 5 bonus votes.
For any artist who pins 5 of the nominees on a Pinterest pinboard, I’ll award 5 bonus votes.
For any artist who does a post about Mother’s Day including at least one of the nominated cards, I’ll award 5 bonus points.
That’s 15 bonus votes up for grabs!
To claim your bonus votes, leave links in the comments section of this post. No link, no votes.

I am new and made a card for this. I doubt that it will be approved by your deadline. I only have one card in my store at this point. Here is a link to Flicker where I uploaded it for this contest. I will submit it, maybe it will make the contest and my store.
Oh well 😦
Just so you know, Rebecca, I removed your other comment as the link would have allowed anyone to alter your card. I’ll allow the Flikr link you provided for now until the deadline, at which point I need a link to the approved card at GCU. If you think approval won’t come quick enough, you can always upload the card to your private gallery and waive review, then give us a link. Just be sure the private gallery module is on in your store.

Thank you so much! I will upload it to my private gallery and follow your instructions 🙂
I just love Judy Adamson’s paintings. Here is one of her’s:

Joyce, you have a typo on the front of your lovely card: “Your” should be “You’re.”
Oh my goodness – I didn’t even realize that – I’ll try to get that fixed ASAP! Thank you, Joyce
Ok, all has been corrected now – thanks again!
Oh darn, I missed this one… was out of town and just got back….will put my vote in for one of the cards…
