Puzzle Time!

 

Today we have another fun activity lined up to help celebrate our 10th birthday! If you missed the Word Search Activity, you can find it HERE (you will have until Sept. 9th, at 8:59 p.m., PT, to complete the word search). We also have other opportunities for you to win some images so be sure to scroll back through our recent posts (up to Aug. 15th) to find out all the details.

For today, we are posting a jigsaw puzzle for you to work on. I've taken a picture of one of the digital papers I've created for Scribble Doodle Designs and YOU will have to assemble the puzzle and submit a picture of it via email (more details on that to follow) in order to have a chance to win the image used in this puzzle. 

 

 

Prize!!!

 

I'm not going to lie. This puzzle will take you more than just a few minutes. So be sure to plan your time accordingly. There are 100 pieces and it took me a total of 37 minutes and 55 seconds to complete it. Since this puzzle is tougher than ones we've done in the past, EVERYONE who submits a screenshot of their completed puzzle (instructions for how to do this below) will win a copy of a fall image I have picked out.

 

How To Play:

1. At the bottom of this page you will find today's puzzle.
   
2. You do have the option of changing the colour background if you want, by clicking the little colour palette icon (showcased in the bar in the centre of the screen before you start).  
3. I have disabled the option of changing the number of puzzle pieces in order to make it fair for everyone participating. 
4. You can rotate the puzzle pieces (circular arrow icon) but I wouldn't recommend it because it will change all the pieces and will change the orientation of the picture. 
5. Click 'OK' to start the puzzle. Click on the full screen icon (next to the question mark in the upper right corner) to make your puzzle bigger. Click Esc on your keyboard to bring it back to regular size (or the same icon).
   
6. If you need help with the puzzle instructions, click the question mark (?) in the upper right corner at any time. You will know the puzzle has been completed properly when your timer stops and you see applause at the bottom of the screen, and then the credit line will appear.
   
7. You should be able to complete this puzzle in approx. 30 to 45 minutes (possibly less, possibly more, depending on your own unique speed). If you need to pause the puzzle for any reason, simply click the timer up in the right hand corner (to the left of the full screen mode button). A white pop up window will come up and the puzzle itself will be blacked out to prevent cheating while in pause mode. Then, click 'resume' to continue when you are ready.
   
8. Once you have completed the puzzle correctly, take a screen shot of it using the print screen feature of your keyboard OR using the Snipping Tool under Windows Accessories or the Snip & Sketch app listed under 'S' in the apps list (tools will probably depend on which version of Windows you have--I have Windows 10). Sorry, I'm not sure what tools are available if you are using an Apple product or your phone or tablet, though most phones and tablets have some sort of screen capture tool. I suppose if it comes to it, you could always snap a pic of your computer screen with your phone or tablet. I tried doing that myself with my tablet and the picture turned out fine. Please refer to Instructions and Deadline for Sending Completed Puzzle image, found below.
   
9. If you have any problems or questions, leave a comment and I will try and help you out when I get on-line for the day.

In order to qualify for the draw, all images must be received in my email account by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time, SEPTEMBER 11, 2023. This gives you ONE WEEK to complete the puzzle. Once you have submitted your image by email, please leave a comment on this post letting us know.

Before you go...

 

On Wednesday, we will be back with a list of Katrina's Favourite Projects, and on Friday we will share Suze's Top Ten Favourite Images. Then, we have another activity for you to join in on on Saturday. Be sure to pop by often over the next week and a half for more chances to win!

Time to Play!

 

Here is your puzzle. Have fun!

 

Helen's Top 10 Favourite Images!

Since Scribbles Designs has so many amazing images, we thought it would be fun to share our team member's favourites. While narrowing down from close to 1000 images to just ten was difficult, each team member has done just that, coming up with a list of their top ten all-time favourite images. 

 

On August 24th, we heard from Nick as to her favourite Scribbles Designs images (post located HERE). Next, on August 28th we found out which images were on Katrina's list (post located HERE). Today it is time to hear from Helen. 

 

Helen joined us in Jan. 2018. As you can see from her list, Helen is fond of Christmas images. She also often falls back on the Topiary images which are so versatile. Another of her favourites is the Coffee Press image which has been responsible for a few great punny cards across the years.

 

Here are Helen's top ten faves:  

 

#632 Topiary 1

 

 

#441 Santa Puppy Hat

 

 

#0151 Silent Night Wreath

 

 

#872 Woodland Santa

 

#723 TooMoose Jingle 

 

#919 Coffee Press

 

 

#631 Snow Capped Topiary

 

#243 Snow Kisses

 #228 Twinkle Brrr

 

 

 

#C 7 Reindeer Subway Art

 

 

How about YOU? 

 

Which of the images above do you like the most? Leave a comment for your chance to win one of these images. Everyone who leaves a comment will have their name thrown into a draw and ONE random winner will have a chance to win ONE image of their choice from the store. Draw will take place at the end of our birthday celebration.

 

Challenge #123 Midway: Favourites (basically anything goes!)

 

Challenge #123

Your Favourites

Midway

Hello and welcome to the midway point of our current challenge. If you have joined us here on the challenge blog during any previous month in 2023 or have seen any of our posts since Aug. 15th, (you can click HERE to catch up on the details of the first post of that day or scroll back through our recent ones, and there have been many), you will know that this year is Scribble Designs' 10th year in business. Our overall theme has been one of "favourites". For each of our challenges so far this year, one of the team members chose their favourite theme. I figured we'd continue with that trend. So, our theme this challenge is Favourites and here is what you need to know to join us...

*You can choose ONE OR MORE of your FAVOURITES: theme, papers, images, colours, patterns, embellishments; or use a favourite edger, punch, embossing folder, technique, style, etc. For all intents and purposes, it is anything goes.*

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 had just eight 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 Favourites 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.

Suze's Top Ten Favourite Scribbles Designs Projects

 

Since we are having you guys take a trip down memory lane and share some of your favourite creations with us (special link up for that HERE, ends Sept. 6, 11:59 p.m. ET), we thought it would be fun for our team members to do so as well. 

We started on Aug. 27th with HELEN. Now it is time to hear from Suze.

 

So, without further ado, here are images of 10 of Suze's favourite projects using a Scribble Designs image:

 

 

Here is a message from Suze:

This is my tenth year with Scribbles Designs, having started part way through the first year, so I have chosen one project from each year. I have used some great images over the 10 years but particularly enjoy the various characters that Sandy has created, especially Brr and Carl. I come back to these images time and time again!
