Look Who Has Graduated...

October is a popular time for commencement.  Do you know any grads who'll be receiving their diplomas this fall?  I know of three in particular.

This past year, three of Scribbles Designs' beloved characters went to night school to upgrade their skills.  Work in this economy is extremely difficult to find and one must continually upgrade their skills to remain competitive in today's market.  It is no different for frogs and penguins.  Let's see what Carl, Brr and Brrnice have been up to, shall we?

BRR
Brr decided that the best course of action was to enroll in an Air Conditioning and Refrigeration course.  Since his natural climate is cold, he figured that this would be the best fit for him.  While he did struggle a bit with the theory, considering how difficult it is for a penguin to take notes using a pen or keyboard even, it is a good thing that his memory skills are quite advanced.  In the end he did reasonably well too, receiving a B+ as his final grade.

CARL
Carl, our favourite Casanova, figured the industry he'd be best suited for would be translation, serving as a translator in his local consulate.  So, Carl decided to spend his time learning French.  You see, it is a fallacy that all frogs are French.  While he did know a few phrases such as, "Mon petit coeur", "Je t'aime", "tu est jolie c'est soir", and "voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir", (oops this is supposed to be a G-rated blog), he needed to expand his vocabulary.  Carl manged to get an A+.  Of course, his professor was a woman.  I guess we'll never know if he earned his grade the honest way.  One look from Carl and most woman are putty in his little webbed hands.

BRRNICE
Brrnice, Brr's darling wife, also felt it important to upgrade her skills too.  With the baby a little older now, and before any more baby Brr's come onto the scene, it was the absolute best time for her to go back to school.  She decided to go into the food industry with a specialty in making sushi.  Brrnice is a phenomenal cook to begin with and has a way with fish so this was the perfect placement for her.  Brrnice also did quite well, managing to get an A overall.  Oh and we're all invited to a celebration in honour of the grads and Brrnice has promised some vegetarian sushi for me and any other veggieheads out there!



Brrnice managed to remember the camera and here are some of the snapshots she got:

 This one is of course their graduation cap...

This pic is of Brr, all dressed up for the occasion with his cap on...

Brrnice managed to snag a fellow graduate to take a snapshot of all three of them...
 
Now our fearless leader Sandy is so talented, that she has converted all three of these images into digital designs, just so that you can have a chance to buy a commemorative picture from this special occasion.  If you click on each of the images above, they will take you to their locations in the store.

So many digitals, so many possibilities!
So if you know of any students receiving their diplomas this year or even in the spring, why not pop over and purchase one or more of these awesome images.  A portion of the proceeds will be put into trust for Brr, Brrnice and Carl, just in case they don't find work quickly.  This way there will be a little extra money for them to draw on during the difficult times.

Psst...interested in a new freebie?  Well, come and check out the new challenge, Shades of Orange, and you can find a cute little pumpkin up for grabs.  If you do, know that we'd love to see what you do with it by entering our latest challenge.  Now once again, since you guys are such great followers, I'll let you know that there are currently SEVEN, yes your eyes are not deceiving you, seven free images over at the store.  Three new ones, a cute bat, some jujubes and a mustache, have just been added this week.  That is in addition to the awareness ribbon and three other ones already in the store.  You are missing a lot if you aren't popping over to check what is new in the STORE.   If you do grab any of these freebies, please leave Sandy some love. You have until 9:00 p.m. PST on November 14th to enter the current challenge, so that gives you lots of time to get your creation ready.  You can find out all the details you need for participating and for grabbing the pumpkin freebie, by clicking HERE.

If you are not yet a follower, now is the perfect time to become one. This way you won't miss out on learning about all the wonderful new images being added to the store, or missing out on the latest antics and adventures of your favourites characters!

Well guys, that is it for this one.  I hope you all have a fabulous week.

Until next time!

Time for a backyard campfire!

As the fall sets in and the temperatures begin to drop, now would be the perfect opportunity to have a little campfire out in the backyard.  Of course, that is as long as you are legally able to do that in your area!  Wouldn't want to suggest something that could get anyone in trouble!!!

When you get that campfire all nice and toasty, how about grabbing a box of graham crackers, a bag of marshmallows (anyone know where I can find some gelatin free ones?), some yummy chocolate, round up a few twigs and make some scrumptious s'mores.

Of course, if you don't want to go to all that trouble, you could just go the digital route instead!  Sandy makes the process simple with her super duper s'mores smorgasbord digital package for one low price of $6.00.  In this one bundle you have all the accoutrements you need to create you own digital s'mores memories.

Check them out...

#923 S'Mores ($6.00) (includes all 5 images!) 





Sandy even has a campfire to roast them over...

#818 Campfire

So why not head over to the store and grab them.  This way you'll be ready for the next cool October evening.

(Clicking on the above watermarks should take you to their location within the Scribbles Designs Store.)
So many digitals, so many possibilities!
Now that the days are getting cooler and the kids are back to school, I'm sure you are spending more time in the house during the day so why not take advantage of that time to get some extra crafting in.  You know you want to!  Your first stop should be the Scribbles Designs store so that you can load up on all the digital supplies you will need to help get all your projects completed. 

Psst...you see the first chocolate bar up at the top of the post?  Well, it is currently a freebie.  However, it is only going to be around until later this evening so if you haven't already, make sure to stop by the current challenge post to grab this awesome image before it is gone.  Now since you guys are so awesome, I'll let you know that there are currently FOUR, yes you read that correctly, four free images over at the store, including an awareness ribbon that would be great in a number of the challenges going on right now with October being Breast Cancer Awareness month. You can click HERE to go to the store.   If you do grab these freebies, please leave Sandy some love and also know we'd love to see you create something with the images and enter into one of our challenges.  You still have until 9:00 p.m. PST tonight to enter the current challenge where the theme is Pens, Pencils, Paper. You can find out all the details you need for participating and for grabbing the chocolate bar freebie, by clicking HERE...AND be sure you come back on Tuesday to find out what the next challenge is going to be.  I'll give you a hint, although I probably shouldn't because it could get me fired but I am just so thankful that you have popped in to see me that I'll risk it.  So, the hint is that the next challenge is going to be centred around a colour.  Now you just have to guess what that colour will be!

If you are not yet a follower, now is the perfect time to become one. This way you won't miss out on learning about all the wonderful new images being added to the store, and re-meeting some of your favourites too!

Before I go, for those readers living in Canada, I would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope that you have a fabulous day surrounded by all the people that you are most thankful for.

Until next time!
