MORE PRIZES AND GIVEAWAYS!!!

There are still more chances to win! The month is not over yet and we want to make the most of it! There is a new game starting today, the month-long participation game, (two more sketches will be posted before the end of the month!), PLUS there will be several random giveaways, too! Check back every day because you never know when you might win a little goody for yourself!

As a reminder, here is a re-post of the original guidelines for the GIANT giveaway for the month-long participation contest. All you have to do in order to be entered to win this fabulous prize is create and post!

“You will definitely want to play along with us this month, too, because we have a GIVEAWAY! Our own design team member Liz has an online store, Thoughts 2 Paper (http://www.thoughts2paper.com/) and she is sponsoring our big July event. (Thanks, Liz!) Whoever plays along and posts 3 at least projects using any 3 of the July sketches (including bonus sketches) will be entered to win a Zutter Distrezz-It-All, a $40 value! (Due to shipping costs, continental US residents only please.) Be sure to check out Liz’s store- here’s a DISCOUNT CODE! All Unscripted followers will get a discount on their orders if you enter this code: 254u2shop during the whole month of July! (The code must be entered exactly as you see it.) So go check out her great store!”

There will be THREE PRIZES awarded! Three names will be drawn at random from everyone that has posted at least 3 projects during the month of July. The first name drawn will be the grand prize winner, then the next two names will receive a special goody! So get creating and post those links!

WHO’S WHO?! GUESSING GAME

OK, now on to today’s game!!!

Below are photos of the design team as children. The photos are numbered 1-8. Your job is to guess which designer is pictured in what numbered photo! There is a catch- only 8 of the 10 designers had old photos available- but we’re not telling you which ones! So, 8 of the 10 designers in the sidebar are pictured below and you have to figure out who they are! (Note: There is a photo in the side bar that is not labeled with a name. That’s Linda. )

Simply list which designer you think is in which photo and email your entries to Arielle at ariellehemp@yahoo.com with the subject “Old Photo Who’s Who“. (That will make it easier for Arielle to sort them.) She will reply to each one that’s been received within 24 hours, so if you do not receive a confirmation, please resend your list. Guesses will be accepted until midnight this Sunday, August 1st. The winner will be announced on Monday, August 2nd.

And don’t forget about our regular weekly sketches! This week’s sketch post #65 can be found here. We want to see your projects using this week’s sketch!

We are even giving away word art FREEBIES!

The full size files are available to download through 4shared.com. Just click on the image at the bottom of the post and it will take you to the download site. If you are new to downloading printables, there are simple instructions following the images.

If you missed it, the first week of quotes and word art was summer and that post can be found here. The second week was family and that post can be found here.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. ~Roy L. Smith

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis

There has been only one Christmas – the rest are anniversaries. ~W.J. Cameron

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air. ~W.T. Ellis

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love! ~Hamilton Wright Mabie

Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts. ~Janice Maeditere

At Christmas play and make good cheer,
For Christmas comes but once a year
~Thomas Tusser

May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace,
The gladness of Christmas give you hope,
The warmth of Christmas grant you love.
~Author Unknown

I love the Christmas-tide, and yet,
I notice this, each year I live;
I always like the gifts I get,
But how I love the gifts I give!
~Carolyn Wells

There’s nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child. ~Erma Bombeck

Instructions for printables. Click the image you want to download. A new window will open. Click the “download now” button and save it to your desktop (or other folder where you will be able to find it easily). Programs you can use to print the word art are: your favorite desktop publishing program, photo editor or Microsoft Word, or any program that opens .jpg files. If you are a beginner with printables, an easy way to print it would be to use Word. Here’s how in MS Word. Open Word, click the drop-down menu “insert > picture > from file”. Select the file you just downloaded and it will insert that picture. If you click on the picture, a box will appear around it. You can grab the box in one of the corners and drag to resize it to the desired print size (if you want an exact measurement, make sure your ruler guides are on). All that’s left is to load the desired paper into your printer and print it!

The word art freebies were made by SarahKaye and are free for personal use only. They may not be sold or distributed in any other manner.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT!!!

Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday in July we will spotlight one of the fabulous members of our design team. At least until we run out of designers. Each and every one of them contributes to the team in their own unique way and this is our way of helping you get to know them! They have each prepared a special Christmas in July blog post on their personal blogs. It might have to do with special memories of Christmastime, a special holiday project they’ve been working on recently, favorite projects they’ve done in the past, perhaps someone might even choose to go with the “July” part and reflect on some of their favorite summers! The blog posts will be as different and special as the designers themselves and they will all be interesting to see! While you’re there, take a look around their blogs, read previous blog posts, see other projects they’ve done. I guarantee you’ll find lots of good stuff to enjoy!

Today’s Designer Spotlight is on…

JENNY!!

Meet our final designer and blog owner, Jenny! She lives on the East Coast with Keith (artist and husband-extraordinaire), and her miniature schnauzer, Oliver. She is mom to 3 grown kids; one helps with the driving an hour and a half (one way) to work 4-5 days a week. All five drive her crazy and all five are her life. She is a Registered Nurse at a long term care facility by night and, well, since she recently started working nights, that’s about all she does. She is one of the dedicated night nurses that are walking the halls and taking care of our loved ones while we’re snug in our beds. She started nursing school later in life, has worked very hard to get where she is in a short time, got her RN last year and now is doing what she loves. When she’s not working or sleeping, she likes shopping (OK, what woman doesn’t?!). But this woman likes antique shopping and finds the most wonderful things! When you check out her blog, This Everyday Life, to see her special spotlight post, look through some older posts and you’ll see many of the interesting things she’s found!

“I love the Christmas holiday. Family and close friends enjoying the magic and spirit together. The making of memories together…that’s what is most important to me…”
