Scribbles Designs is FIVE!!!

Scribbles Designs is celebrating its 5th birthday this month! 

 On January 15, 2013, we had our very first challenge.

Five years later we're still going strong.

In fact, we've grown yet again!

Our team is now larger with a total of nine full time members!

Lisa have been beside my side since the beginning, 

Nick came on just four months later in May of 2013,

and Suze started the following year in Jan. 2014. 

Diane Louise joined us after a DT Call in March of 2016 and then 

both Pat and Pippa joined us after being a guest for a three month term--

Pat in April of 2016 and Pippa a year later in April of 2017!

Most recently we have acquired two new people--

Helen & Lori--who officially start today! 
(Previous to today, I had the opportunity to have some incredible designers on our DT... Nazeema, Cely, Archana, Deanne, Sam S, Kel, Sue, Jennifer S, Jennifer D, Shirl, Sherri, Ike, Sharla, Peggie Sue, Sandy J, Gail, AJ, Katrina, Borqna, Helen, Dorothy, Dawn, Donna.... Oh my...I'm sure I'm missing someone... 

In addition to the Bi-Weekly GDT Showcases that we added last year, 

we also now have a Monthly Inspiration Post where we feature 

extra projects made by DT and GDT alike!

Our Freebie Fridays has transitioned into a Flash Freebie

and we've increased the number of Challenge Blogs we sponsor each year!

The store has grown to sell over 780+ Scribbles Designs images 

plus there are over 150 FREEBIES!

The store continues to sell Scribble Doodle Designs

(a collaborative effort between myself (Sandy S.) & Lisa D.)

and is still home to selling designs by Décosse's Dynamite Doodles as well!

We've accomplished a lot in
FIVE YEARS
and we plan on accomplishing a lot more!!!

This year, we have decided to celebrate with a combined 

Challenge AND New Release Party!


STAND BY...

 Our 5th Birthday Party Blowout

IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

First things First!  Tomorrow, January 16th, will be the first day of a THREE DAY New Release Party showcasing three fabulous new sets that Sandy has been hard at work putting together!

On each of those days we'll spotlight one of the new sets along with providing samples from each of the Design Team Members and Guests for this quarter. While normally Lisa D. would have introduced the new guests on the second Saturday of the month (which was the 13th), our two new guests will instead be joining us for the New Release Party.

On each day of the New Release Party you will have the opportunity to win one of the images from the set. In fact, each of the DT Members and our Guests will be giving out the main image they used on their project to one lucky commenter on their individual blog. Then, for your chance to earn the full set of the day, you'll need to leave comments on the individual blogs listed PLUS on the New Release post itself.

So, GET READY to be blown away by all the new

images and samples we have lined up for you!

Next Up, today will also mark the start of our latest challenge! Be sure to play along for your chance to win some wonderful prizes! One Lucky winner will have the opportunity to win ALL THREE of the sets released this week, by following our instructions carefully!

GET SET, to enter a project into our challenge!

But that isn't all!  Over the course of the next month, we're going to have some limited time freebies, possibly a flash freebie and some special events you can participate in for your chance to win additional goodies! Be sure to follow us by email so that you don't miss a thing!

GO!!!!!!!

 Our 5th Birthday Party Blowout

starts right now and YOU are all invited!!!

As mentioned above, we are going to start today off with our regularly scheduled challenge. Here is what you need to know to enter:

It is time to go and grab a party hat and light up exactly FIVE candles on the birthday cake! While you are at it, hang some streamers and blow up a few balloons too. Scribbles Designs has just turned FIVE and you are all invited to join in the birthday celebration!

In honour of this special occasion, it is only fitting that the theme of our challenge be all about birthdays--yours, mine, a family member's, a friend's, or even an acquaintance's. Hey, maybe you even want to create a card just to wish Scribbles Designs a happy birthday! It doesn't matter who's birthday you are celebrating or how many candles are on the cake. Simply design a card commemorating someone's birthday, or create some other kind of project that celebrates the spirit of birthdays. Maybe you'd like to make some invites for a birthday party of someone who'll be celebrating soon. Perhaps you'd like to design some decorations for an upcoming birthday party. Maybe there is a scrapbooking layout from a recent birthday celebration that you'd like to finally put together and get into an album. Whatever birthday themed project you decide to create, we'd love for you share it with us. Let the birthday blowout begin!

We are so thankful that you are here with us on our little spot in blog-land today and are hopeful that you'll be able to join us for this special challenge. Any questions about the challenge? Please read our  Rules located in the right sidebar.

I (Sandy S.) am happy to provide you with a limited time freebie for participating. This sentiment is from one of the new sets being released sometime in the next 3 days:
