Freebie Friday: Bunny

Hello to all of our Freebie Fridayer fans! For those of you who celebrate Easter, Happy Good Friday!

It is time for your latest Scribbles Designs freebie. While this image could be used for any last minute Easter cards you might need to whip up, it would also be great for any kind of card. If you love puns, a 'Hoppy Birthday' or a 'Somebunny Loves You' card would be perfect.

Psst...don't forget to left click on the image to bring it up full size in the light box before saving.

This image can also be found in the store HERE.

To help inspire you, I've come up with a fun signature tag that I can send out in an email message to wish my friends and family a Happy Easter. I've put it into a design mock up for display purposes...

If you'd like to check out the remaining details for my creation, I'd love for you to come and visit me on my personal blog. You can find my project posted HERE; although I won't be posting it until after 4:00 p.m. since it is rather late already.

Well that is it for this one! I'll see you all again tomorrow for our next Guest Scribblers Showcase!

Until then,

If you are new to the blog, you can find the original outline version by clicking HERE. For those of you who enjoy the option of working with coloured images, here is the coloured version for you...

Psst...don't forget to left click on the image to bring it up full size in the light box before saving.

This image would be great for an Easter card or even great for a summer card. I've opted to make an Easter one this time around...

I even had a wonderful sentiment in my collection that I knew would be the perfect accompaniment with the carrot image. If you'd like to check out the remaining details for my card, I'd love for you to come and visit me on my personal blog. You can find my card posted HERE.

Well that is it for this one! I'll see you all again next week with the latest freebie! Also, be sure to check back on Sunday to check and see if you were a lucky winner in our last challenge.

Scribbles Designs Challenge #39 - A Song in My Heart

Scribbles Designs Challenge #39

A Song In My Heart

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head? I certainly have. It happens all the time to me. In fact, the 'you've got to have heart' song from the January challenge is STILL rattling around in my poor brain. This challenge we have decided that we would like to see a project based on a song. Whether it is based on the title of the song or some of the lyrics, that is totally up to you. Show us the song in your heart and the melody of your soul! Don't forget to let us know the name of the song that inspired you somewhere in your post. We look forward to singing along with you and getting more songs stuck in our heads.

And we thank you for spending some time here on our spot in blog-land. We're excited to showcase our talented women & their incredible creative work. We think that you will enjoy the Scribbles Designs images

and the creative direction that ensues.

Sweet right?! Now if only I could dip them in chocolate and eat them but I digress...

I came up with this clean and simple card to help inspire you all...

Freebie Friday: Leprechaun Hat

Hello to all of our Freebie Fridayer fans!

I've got one last St. Patrick's Day freebie to share with you all before we move on to a new theme.

Here is a cute Leprechaun Hat to help you stay in the spirit...

Psst...don't forget to left click on the image to bring it up full size in the light box before saving.

I love images like this because you can use them on lots of different characters if you want, turning an ordinary image into something else. In this case, a St. Patrick's themed one! Add the hat to people or animals to give them a bit of St. Paddy's spirit. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to create a card with this week's image BUT I'd love to see what you come up with! What character could you add this hat to or will you create something using it just on its own? Remember, there is still over a week and a half left in our challenge this month where the theme is to use a previous Freebie Friday image on your card. We'd love to see what you create with one of Sandy's fab freebies! Why not this one? You can find out all the details by clicking HERE.

Well that is it for this one! I'll see you all again next Friday!

Until then,

Scribbles Designs Challenge #38 Freebie Friday Challenge

Scribbles Designs Challenge #38

Freebie Friday Challenge

This month will mark the 2nd year anniversary of the popular Freebie Friday on the Scribbles Design Challenge Blog. Over the last two years Sam and Sandy and recently now Lisa, have hosted this special weekly post giving out approximately 105 freebies as of the start of this challenge!!! Of course that isn't including the freebies that Sandy generously gives out each month when a new challenge starts.

So, for this challenge we want you to create a project that includes a past Scribbles Designs Freebie Friday image. To find them all, simply check out the archives and look for the title 'Freebie Friday' each month. Most tell you what the nature of the freebie is right in the title of the post. For example, the post from last Friday is called "Freebie Friday: Kiss Me Sentiment ***Limited Time Freebie***". You can also find past Freebie Friday images by clicking on Freebie Friday in the label section. If you are new to the challenge blog this is a great opportunity to go through some past posts and start your Scribbles Designs stash. We can't wait to see what you create but don't forget to tell us which past Freebie Friday image you have used somewhere in your post.

and the creative direction that ensues.

Any questions about the challenge? Please read our Challenge Rules located in the right sidebar.

Sandy is happy to provide you with a freebie for participating...
