Event Flyer and Tickets Needed

My client requires a flyer created to advertise their upcoming fund raiser. The same graphics in the flyer would also need to be used in creating the event tickets.

Ratings System:
1 star - wrong direction
2 star - some elements we like
3 star - getting closer but need revisions or a different take on your design
4 star - design is being considered
5 star - made the final cut!

The flyer will be printed on a standard 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. Once the contest ends, would like to work with the winning designer to expand the document to be printed on a 8 1/2 x 14 sheet of paper. Designer is free to use their own creativity to come up with a "Southern Living Theme" to use. Would like to be able to modify the text so that the flyer and tickets can be reused for different events.

The events ticket will be printed 4 tickets per 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock (8.5 long). The graphics on the front of the ticket would need to be same as the flyer. The tickets will be printed two sided, with the events informatino on the front, with name, address, phone #, and email on the back.

Prefered format is Adobe Illustrator, PDF, or Photoshop.
