We all know of the Hallmark greeting cards but don't you find that sometimes they just don't cover what you want to say- the right way.
Off the top of my head here are a few of the sentiment categories,
Birthday
Anniversary
Thinking Of You
Thank you
Graduation
Wedding
Congrats
Friendship
Encouragement
Get Well
Baby Shower
Ivitation
Valentines
Mother's Day
Father's Day
Christmas
`
All fine categories but for this contest I want you to come up with sentiments you would never see being used for greeting cards for the above categories or make up some new categories you think should be out there.
Here's an example:
Category (Just so you know)
Front:
I had you on my mind all day and wanted you to know...
Inside:
I still hate your fucking guts!
`
or...
Category (encouragement)
Front: In being around a person like you, I would encourage you to...
Inside:
..or
Category (Thank you)
Front: Yeah, thanks a lot for your thoughtless wedding gift
Inside: That's all we needed! Another friggin toaster...please know that it will be regifted back to you at Christmas - you cheap bastard!
`
here's one more
`
Category ( You know what I think)
Front: Upon reflection I've come to the conclusion...
Inside: You're Ugly
It's not necessary to use pictures - get silly and have fun!

Fantastic idea for a contest Galfalfa! You always do come up with something hillarious. Can I rent your muse for a few days? Man, what would it be like to be so funny? Anywho, I will defidently be checking back to read the entries on this.
-
Thanks for checking this out Sarah - i hope to see an entry from you - no poem required really..just the format of a greeting card
galfalfa

Oh i see i got one from you..thanks!

What Fun, What fun!!!! Gonna have to do one!!!
dk -
wow this is very different I will have to think about this one maybe I will get truckingpain to enter as well
-
Hm....interesting idea for a contest LOL I'll see if I can think something up...although I would say that things don't have to be insulting to be funny ;-) LOL
-
Great idea for a contest,would like to bookmark to consider entering but am unable to put pictures with a write.Good luck with your contest
-
Ohhhh...this sounds like so much fun!
Gonna put on my thinking cap..lol...oh wait, maybe I will just write what pops up...lol
Hugs, Suzi -
Hiya, i did not say insulting was a requirement - and yes insults can be funny when it's an imaginary greeting card not one you would really send - sheesh! The whole point being sentiments you would not see in greeting cards because they are rude, insulting or outrageous. So lighten up and get silly

Hiya leander - thanks for checking this out - do hope to see an entry from you

Sorry entered 4 ... got a bit carried away. I'll remove a couple if you wish. Great contest ... I've laughed a lot at these

gal -

Hiya Michelle ..that must've been a glitch - i had it set to close on the 21st of September and i have fixed it. You still have time to enter
gal -
Hiya..i have reopened it yet again..i dont know what's causing it to close all the time - so feel free to submit your entry Michelle
gal -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Leave it to you, gal to come up with a contest like this, I'm reading some of the entries and laughing my head off....what was left hanging after I finished reading your examples
Are you sure you want this to run another 4 days... you have a ton of entries already.... it'll be tough judging them but you'll have fun doing it
love and
Dee

You have fun don't you? those are haliourous. I would use the one that says stop breeding you pig. I know people who have too many kids. They drive me nuts considering I have to babysit them. two is good, one is better. but I have to babysit like six. that is nuts
-
Wahhhh I missed this - oh bugger - how did I do that?
anyways here's a little something for you to read.
Congratulations It’s a Boy!
{Front of Card}
What joy and happiness you must feel Now that your Son is here
You have so much to look forward to Sick and pooh for most the year!
[Inside card}
I’m sending you this card today To share in with your joy,
At last a little one to love A darling baby boy.
Don’t worry that his nose is big, And his ears are a funny angle
As long as he had all his bits You know the ones that dangle.
He’s bald but not to worry He may one day grow some hair
You’re blond I know, your hubby red, His Dad I believe, quite fair.
His feet will take him miles I see I can see you’re on a winner
He won’t need flippers that’s for sure If he wants to be a swimmer.
Hello and welcome to your Son A bonny little chap
I’ve enclosed a pack of Huggies To help clean up his c*p!!
