The 12 Days of Christmas Quest 2019: All Papers Mailed!

Hey folks! I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I have finally wrapped up everything related to the The 12 Days of Christmas.

Here are the stats for this past year:

• a total of 11 people participated during at least two days of the event.
• 10 people completed all 12 Days of the quest.
• One person got four of the days complete.

While the overall stats were down from last year, more people overall completed the entire quest. Last year we had a total of 15 participants but only nine of them completed the full quest, with the remaining six people completing anywhere from two to eleven of the days.

Thanks so much for sharing a little about yourself as a designer this year. I learned some fun facts and got a glimpse into tools that I've never heard of, and found some new ideas and stores to explore.

As far as the set goes, here is the preview for it which I've also added to my designs preview page...

If you didn't get the chance to join in the quest but happen to be interested in purchasing this set, just leave a comment to let me know and I'll get it uploaded to the Scribbles Designs Store.

The papers have now been mailed out to all those who participated in the quest. If it happens that you participated during any of the days but have yet to receive your papers, be sure to leave me a comment to let me know and I'll resend them.

The Christmas Quest is finished for another year. For those of you who participated, I truly hope that you enjoyed yourself and I hope to see you again next year. For those of you who weren't able to join in, I hope that you will be able to find the time to do so next year. The quest always runs to about the middle of Jan to ensure that everyone has time to complete it. However, if there are some people out there that would like to see it extended for an additional week to help give them the time to participate, then let me know and I'll consider it.

Well my friends, I hope that you are doing well and avoiding all the viruses out there, especially that new scary Corona virus. If you live in the northern hemisphere, I hope that you are staying warm as well. If you live in the southern hemisphere, I hope it doesn't get too warm. For those living in Australia and battling fires in your area, my heart and prayers go out to you.

I should be be back in a couple of weeks with my latest Pattie's Creation project so I'll see you again then!

Until next time,

Time is Running Out to Complete The 12 Days of Christmas Quest!

Hello there folks. I hope that you are all doing well on this tenth day of the first month of the year! I am just popping in to remind you that you still have until the end of day on Sunday (Jan. 12th) to get your TASKS submitted for this year's 12 Days of Christmas which officially ran from Dec. 25th to Jan. 5th. As that 12 day period was a busy time for people I extended the deadline date by a week.

11 people participated this year with the majority completing the entire quest! It was nice to see some familiar faces play along and a couple new ones as well! I really hope to be able to send out the papers very soon. I have finished compiling all the stats and have gathered all the email addresses that I need as well. Thankfully, I compiled each individual day's credit info at the time that I created the corresponding paper so it is just a matter of putting it all together into one document for the full kit. As soon as I find a few moments to get that done, I'll be able to send out the kit to those who participated the entire 12 days of the quest.

If you are just hearing about the quest and you want a chance to earn up to 12 digi papers, be sure to get your TASKS submitted by 11:59 p.m. EST, Jan 12, 2020. There are a couple of you who have completed almost the full set but just missed a day or two so if you thought that you had completed the entire quest and would like to make certain you got all 12 days finished, be sure to scroll through the posts and check the comment section.

Here is a preview of the full set of papers:

Remember, you don't have to participate every day. If there is just one or two particular papers that you'd like, you only need to complete the tasks for those days. To see the specific digi paper up for grabs each of the 12 Days, and find out the other details you need to join the quest, you can click on the links below:

I am super busy right now getting things ready for Scribbles Designs 7th Birthday Party coming up on January 15th, along with other administrative stuff behind the scenes for both the Path of Positivity and The 12 Months of Christmas. So, hopefully I will be back to see you all again soon!

Until then, stay safe and happy crafting!

I'm Sponsoring...The Outlawz Challenge Blog

Oh goodness me.  I forgot to post about my latest sponsorship that started on Monday April 13th.  At least I remembered before it was too late! 

Once again I am honoured to be sponsoring the latest challenge over at the Outlawz Challenge Blog.  It has been a busy few weeks of sponsorship but this will be the last one until late in the summer which will allow me time to create some new sets. 

While you do have to sign in over at Outlawz, it is free to be a member and there is a different challenge every day of the week to keep you busy.  Every Monday it is the Greeting Cards Challenge.  That is the one that I am sponsoring this week.  The rules of the challenge are that your project must have a greeting/sentiment on the outside.  The theme this week is April Showers and/or Rainbows.  The weekly winner is announced at the beginning of the following week and the prizes are awarded monthly.
 
This particular challenge had me a bit stumped simply because I didn't know which direction to take my designs in.  I didn't know if team members would like a set geared solely to rainy days with a few rainbow items thrown in or if they would want to stick with the theme of rainbows.  Then I wasn't sure if they would want literal rainbows or just the colours of the rainbow.  My goodness it was a difficult decision for me.  Finally I decided to go in all three directions but given the time frame just put together the paper sets.  Hopefully, in the future I'll be able to expand on each of the sets and add other elements.  

First up I created 12 patterned Papers for my Rainy Days kit...

Then I worked on a set that had some realistic rainbows in them and called it Chasing Rainbows.  This set has six patterned papers with scenes of rainbows on them...

...and then six textured papers.  These particular textured papers have all the colours of the rainbow in them but each paper has a different texture.  Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to see in the preview but I laid it out horizontally instead of the usual vertical so that you can see the colours of each paper.  There are three in the top half of the preview and three in the bottom.  I've used a shadow to help distinguish between papers...

Finally I put together a set soley based on the colours of the rainbow.  This set is aptly called Colours of the Rainbow.  There are 12 patterned papers and 12 textured in this set.  The patterned papers have different geometrical designs--everything from chevrons and stripes to argyle and stars and lots in between.  Once again, each of these papers have all the colours of the rainbow in them.  As I did in the above set, I also laid these ones out horizontally.  This way you can see the colours of each paper along with a snippet of the design.  In this set, there are six in the top half of the preview and six in the bottom with a shadow added to help distinguish between papers...

The coordinating set of textured papers are all solids, each a different colour of the rainbow...

All of these sets will be offered up as prizes for the winner.  If anyone is interested in purchasing one of these sets, please let me know and I'll get it uploaded to the store. 

I hope that you'll consider playing along in their challenge.  To help provide some incentive, I am offering up one of the patterned papers from the Colours of the Rainbow kit as a freebie. 

This digital paper is in 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. Credits include:  Free PSD Files and Heather Green of HG Graphic Designs.  To grab it, click the download button to be taken to a download location.  In the zip folder you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders. 

You can find out all the details you need to enter the challenge over at the Outlawz Challenge Blog.  To head there now, click HERE but don't forget you need sign in to play.  I hope to see some of you there!
