Monthly Scribblers Showcase for April

Hey folks. It is that time of month where we showcase the projects that our inspiration team has created, along with any extra creations our full time team members or guests may have had the chance to create during the past four weeks.

Before we start, I wanted to apologize for the fact that I still haven't had the chance to catch up on some outstanding winner announcements. If it isn't one thing, it seems to be another lately. Finally, after three+ full months, I started to feel better from the viruses I had been fighting since Christmas, only to end up with an infection in my tooth and had to have the first part of an emergency root canal this past Sunday after having been in agony for several days. While this past week has been better, it has still been pretty rough. Thankfully, I did manage to get this post published and will try hard to catch up on some winner announcements as I am able to. Your continued patience is appreciated.

Okay, so Diane Louise is still on leave of absence so that means we just have Janice from our inspiration team here to share a project this month. Take a look at what she has been up to...

SD Challenge #119: Amphibians

Challenge #119

Amphibians

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Scribbles Designs Challenge blog. Whether you are new or one of our regulars, we are so thankful that you are here with us on our little spot in blogland. It is the 15th of the month and that means it is time for our next challenge to get started!

We are doing something special for our themes for our tenth year here at Scribbles Designs, and that is to share each of our current DT's favourite challenge themes. As we are going in order of when each person joined the team, Suze is choosing the theme for this challenge. Suze happens to be a big fan of one of Scribble's main characters. Thus, it is time to honour Carl and all his cousins this month with the theme of Amphibians. In case you are unaware, amphibians are small vertebrates that need water, or a moist environment, to survive. The word amphibian itself means “double-life” which is a reference to the need for these little creatures to live both in water and on land. So, here is what you need to know to join us...

*Include one or more of the following on your project: FROGS, TOADS, SALAMANDERS, and/or NEWTS.*

Our incredibly talented women are here to share their inspiring creative work featuring projects related to our Amphibians theme. We hope that you will enjoy the Scribbles Designs images and the creative direction that ensues.

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

Challenge #118 Midway: A Scandinavian Christmas

Challenge #118

A Scandinavian Christmas

Midway

Hello and welcome to the midway point of our current challenge. We are doing something special for our themes for our tenth year here at Scribbles Designs, and that is to share each of our current DT's favourite challenge themes. As we are going in order of when each person joined the team, Nick is choosing the theme this time around. We know that a Christmas themed challenge in Mar/Apr. might be odd, but did you know that a very early Christian tradition said that the date that Mary was told she would have a very special baby was on March 25th, and it is a day that is still celebrated in the present.

Nick happens to be a serious Santa collector and loves all things cozy and merry. Pair that with the fact that Nick is from Sweden, it is only fitting that our theme for this challenge be A Scandinavian Christmas, and here is what you need to know to join us...

*While each Scandinavian country has small differences in how they approach Christmas decorating, there’s an overall focus on NATURAL ELEMENTS like wood, flowers, and greenery, as well as a lot of the CLASSIC COLOURS such as red, green, gold, and silver. So, explore these kinds of ideas when crafting your project. Focal points could include: candles and/or holders; strings of lights; strings of flags; painted wood, straw, or felt ornaments; a star or angel for the top of the tree. Come explore a different culture (unless of course you happen to be Scandinavian yourself) and celebrate CHRISTMAS in the SCANDINAVIAN STYLE for this challenge.*

There are still two weeks left in the challenge and we hope that you will be able to join us here on our spot in blog-land. We have only had two entries so far this month so we'd really love to see some more of you join in!

Our incredibly talented women are back to showcase their amazing creative work featuring projects related to our A Scandinavian Christmas theme. We hope that you will enjoy the Scribbles Designs images and the creative direction that ensues.
