Welcome 3rd Quarter Guest Scribblers!

Hello and Welcome ladies!

It is my pleasure to welcome each of you as a Guest Designer for our July - September quarter on the Scribbles Designs blog.

I hope that your time as guest designers for Scribbles Designs is filled with pleasant memories. If you ever have any conflicts or concerns please bring them up immediately. I want to ensure that everything is clear and forthcoming and that you'll be able to look back on your time with us fondly.

In the left sidebar you will see links to both the store and main blog.  In the right sidebar under Important Info, you will find links to several pages that you should familiarize yourself with.  I encourage you to first read the Roles and Responsibilities of a Guest Designer document if you haven't already.  Basically, you will be responsible for creating a minimum of two creations, each month for a total of three months, to be posted on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month***.  In return, you will receive $10.00 worth of Scribbles Designs images from the store each month.  You will choose images from these requests for your monthly projects. However, you are not obliged to use everything you buy.  For ex, if you request four images, you are still only obliged to make two creations. As long as you use a different image for each of your creations during the month, anything else that you have requested is surplus.  Additionally, if you decide that you want to also use a Scribbles Designs sentiment for either or both of your project obligations, you will be provided with one sentiment of your choice for each project for free.  However, using SD sentiments is optional.  You may use sentiments from other companies. 

Also, remember that you can make any kind of project you like, i.e. card, scrapbooking layout, mixed media, altered art, etc. AND there are no themes to follow.  You do NOT have to follow the challenge themes, though you can if you want to.  Simply go where inspiration leads you!

Additionally, I have included a section called 'Navigating and Functioning Within Blogger'.  Please take a moment to read through this page. It will provide you with some details related to communication, adding posts in general and posting photos of your creations. If you are unfamiliar with any aspect of how Blogger works (i.e. how to create a post, adding photos to a post, etc.), please ask and I'll do my best to help you out.

Another important page in this section is the Monthly Image Request page.  This is where you will request the images that you want to work with.

Finally, I've included a reminder of when GDT posts are scheduled and a quick reference for how to title and label posts.  You can also find my personal contact information in the right sidebar.

***I apologize that we're getting a late start for this first month.  As such, your posts will be due for the THIRD AND FIFTH Saturdays for the month of July only.  Then we'll go back to the 2nd and 4th Saturdays starting in August.  Thank goodness it worked out for me that July has an extra Saturday in it!  Also, since there is less than a week before the first posting, please just try to upload a copy of your project no later than Friday around 6:00 p.m. EDT so that I have a few hours at least to get it uploaded to Sat.'s post. In the future, if you could upload it two to three days before the guest post, that would be optimal.

If you ever have any questions related to any aspect of Scribbles Designs or need any help whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. For the most part, communication will take place here in the blog but if you would prefer to talk privately, you can find my contact details in the sidebar.

So, once again, welcome aboard! The most important rule here is to have fun and enjoy what you are doing! We are so very glad you have joined us!

Regards,
Lisa D.
GDT Coordinator,
Strategic Content Coordinator.

Welcome to you both Donna and Borqna. I am happy to see that you are both now in the GDT blog.

BORQNA--Okay so it looks like you are 7 hours ahead of me(it was 6:15 am EDT when I got your message), same time zone as Donna, so that means that you are 10 hours ahead of Scribbles Designs. So posting for 7 a.m. PST means that you'll be scheduling your post to go live at 5:00 p.m. on the correct Saturday. That is of course as long as your blog is set for YOUR personal time zone.

Thanks for letting me know. It is good when figuring out whether you are probably sleeping or not as well. Like as I write this, I'm sure you are probably fast asleep or soon will be!
