Winners x5!!! Winner announcement for all of our special birthday events!

Hello folks! Since we've offered several opportunities to win some extra images this month during our birthday celebration, it is time to share who the winners are for all the extra events (NOTE: the regular challenge winner will be announced in a separate post once it is finished).


Here we go...
 
From August 23rd until Sept. 6th, we asked you guys take a trip down memory lane and share some of your favourite creations with us (link up found HERE). Every entry linked (that followed the rules), had a chance to win $10 worth of images! 
 
 
Congratulations to...
Jeni M.
(winner chosen randomly from all correctly submitted responses by Mini Web Tool)

Jenny… you have until November 14th, 2023, to claim your prize. Please go to the Scribbles Designs Store (categories listed in the sidebar and don't forget to scroll down and click on 'previous page' to see all the images within a section) and choose up to a value of $10 worth of digital images (digital papers are not included). Then, please send a message to decossesdynamitedoodles {at} yahoo {dot} ca, (don't forget to replace 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols) with the subject heading, "SD BD Special Link Up Winner", and let me know the NUMBER and NAME of your choices and I will get your prize out to you as soon as I can.
 
Each of our team members took the time to share their top 10 favourite images. We started on Aug. 24th with Nick. Next, on August 28th we found out which images were on Katrina's list. Then, on Sept. 2nd we heard from Helen. Finally, on Sept. 8th we found out what images were on Suze's list.
 
Everyone who left a comment had their name thrown into a draw to allow ONE random winner to win ONE image of their choice from the store for EACH of the four posts. 
 
 
Congratulations to...
pst, Kitty, Liliane, Jeni M.

If your name is in the box above… you have until November 14th, 2023, to claim your prize. Please go to the Scribbles Designs Store (categories listed in the sidebar and don't forget to scroll down and click on 'previous page' to see all the images within a section) and choose ONE digital image up to a value of $3. Then, please send a message to decossesdynamitedoodles {at} yahoo {dot} ca, (don't forget to replace 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols) with the subject heading, "SD BD DT Fave Images Comment Winner", and let me know the NUMBER and NAME of your choice and I will get your prize out to you as soon as I am able to.
 
On Aug. 26th we posted a Word Search Activity. If you would like to refresh yourself on the details of this activity, please click HERE. Unfortunately, not a single person attempted it so I have no winners to share.

 
Next up is the list of people who braved completing the puzzle (information HERE). EVERYONE who submitted a screenshot of their completed puzzle qualified to win a copy of the following fall image:
 
 We had two people participate.

Congratulations to...
Glennis & Kathy


Glennis & Kathy… you have until November 14th, 2023, to claim your prize. Please send a message to decossesdynamitedoodles {at} yahoo {dot} ca, (don't forget to replace 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols) with the subject heading, "SD BD Puzzle Participant", and I will get your prize out to you as soon as I can. If it happens that you already own this particular image, just provide me proof (a copy of your invoice is fine) and we can discuss a replacement.

 
On Sept. 9th, we asked you to share what your personal favourite Scribbles Designs image is. You can find that post HERE. Originally, everyone who left a comment was going to have their name thrown into a draw and ONE random winner was going to win ONE image of their choice from the store. However, since there were only four of you who left a comment AND I'm feeling generous, ALL FOUR PEOPLE WHO LEFT A COMMENT ON THIS POST are winners.
 
 
Congratulations to...
Kitty, Jeni M., Kathy, pst

Finally, I have a surprise prize. If you have been popping in throughout our birthday celebration, you will have noticed that our team members took the time to share their top 10 favourite projects. We started on Aug. 27th with HELEN, then posted SUZE's projects on Aug. 30th. On Sept. 6th we shared KATRINA's list. Then on Sept. 11th, we heard from NICK.
 
During those posts we asked you to leave a comment letting us know which of the 10 listed projects (for each DT member) was your favourite of the bunch. While I didn't announce it, I decided at the time that we would have a special surprise prize. Thus, everyone who left a comment on any of the four mentioned posts, had their name put into a draw. The winner will get to win an image featured on one of the favourite projects showcased in the post they left the winning comment on.
 
 
Congratulations to...
Kathy

Kathy… you have until November 14th, 2023, to claim your prize. Please send a message to decossesdynamitedoodles {at} yahoo {dot} ca, (don't forget to replace 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols) with the subject heading, "SD BD DT Fave Project Winner". Click HERE to head to the post (Katrina's fave project list) and let me know the card that has the image you want (count down from the top starting at 1). Just in case, if you can also describe the image a bit so I can be sure of the image you want, that would be helpful as well. I will get your prize out to you as soon as I can. 
 
 
Since I need to take care of several different winners, I do ask for your patience. Life is rather hectic right now but I promise I will get to each of you in order of your requests, as soon as I possibly can. However, if you notice that more than a week has gone by and you still haven't heard back from me, be sure to reach out again. Sometimes, there are issues with getting messages in my email account so a reminder would be a good idea.

Well, that is it for this one. I'll be back sometime before the end of this weekend to share some VERY IMPORTANT news. So, please join us again soon!

Until next time,

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.
 
 

Instructions and Deadline for

Sending Completed Puzzle Image…

 
Please send a message to Lisa at decossesdynamitedoodles [at] yahoo [dot] ca (don't forget to replace 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols), with the subject heading, "SD Birthday 2023-Jigsaw Puzzle". Be sure to attach a copy of the image of your completed puzzle. Below is an example of what the image should encompass (though obviously it will have a different completed puzzle).


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. That way I will have an idea of who has participated, just in case there is a problem with my email account.

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!

Additionally, at the end of the ninth competition, I will submit the names of those people who completed the puzzle with the fastest time for each puzzle round, and choose an additional winner to win a special prize! 


How To Play:

  1. At the very 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.
  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 each puzzle in approx. 10 to 15 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. If you need a hint for today's puzzle, be sure to head on over to Helen's blog to locate her post for the Scribbles Designs 9th Birthday Celebration. You can find her blog HERE. I'll update the link to the correct post within a couple days.
  9. 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. IMPORTANT: If you want a chance to win the bonus prize available, make sure that your picture encompasses the full puzzle, including the timer at the top. Please refer to Instructions and Deadline for Sending Completed Puzzle image, found below.
  10. 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.

There are multiple prizes available this month (the total number will depend on the number of entries we get) so click HERE to check out all the details for our current challenge. Then, later that same day we offered you an opportunity to complete a digital puzzle which you can find HERE. We released puzzle #2 on August 18th and you can find the link for that one HERE. Puzzle #3, released August 22, can be found HERE. Puzzle #4, released August 25, can be found HERE. Please note that while you are welcome to complete the puzzles for fun, the time has expired to get your entries in for Puzzles 1 & 2 and you must get your entry for Puzzle #3 submitted by 11:59 EST (8:59 PST) tonight, in order to be eligible for that puzzle's prizes.

Today it is time to continue with Puzzle #5. As a reminder, each Monday and Thursday, from August 15th to September 12th, you will have the opportunity to assemble a digital puzzle. If you are familiar with all the instructions, you can skip ahead down to the bottom of this post to work on Puzzle #5. If you haven't seen that first puzzle post, please read on for more details…

  8. If you need a hint for today's puzzle, be sure to click HERE. Today's puzzle is a blast from the past and might be a bit trickier to find as it is from a challenge post here on this blog. To narrow it down a bit, don't forget that you are looking for a card made with a zentangle among the cards showcased.
  9. 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).
