Deco My Ad by Wildcat Designs Advertisers have known for years that to make money you need to grab someone's attention, so they spend hours and lots of money creating very eye catching graphic layouts. Why not use those great ads as an inspiration for a LO. The challenge is simple - - -I give you and ad---this one your job is to take all or part of the ad and create your own version in a LO. You can crop, rotate, and eliminate what you don't care for. Use it as a base and just go with it. Can't wait to see all your versions. Once you post you LO in the Deco My Ad Gallery - - -come back and leave a link in this thread. At the end of the month those that complete the task will be rewarded with a mini-kit. You can find more about the Deco My Ad challenge in this forum http://board.deco-pages.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5724and see pages inspired by this new challenge in the gallery here: http://board.deco-pages.com/showgallery.php/cat/1051
