SUNSHINEY DAY - THE BOSSES ARE AWAY!!! Doodle Font FUN & FREEBIE!

SUNSHINEY DAY - THE BOSSES ARE AWAY!!! Doodle Font FUN & FREEBIE!

Ready for some fun? Would you like to have YOUR doodles made into a font? We thought it would be a HOOT to create a Sunshiney Day doodle font, with doodles created by all of us. We might as well enjoy ourselves thoroughly as the rest of the DSP crew parties down in sunny Anaheim!

Simply doodle something that represents a "Sunshiney Day" to you. Use your tablet if you have one, or use a plain sheet of white paper and a black marker or pen, then scan your doodles at 300 dpi (black and white, jpg format is fine). Create a smaller version (at 72 dpi and less than 100KB) to upload to our SUNSHINEY DAY DOODLE GALLERY (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=3931), so we can see what all our friends are submitting!

Send the full-size version (please keep the files under 500KB if possible) to suzanne@dsplace.com, and your doodle will be a part of a very special SUNSHINEY DAY DOODLE FONT. This font will be given away at one (or maybe more!) of the super-fun Bosses Away chats which will occur on the same day that our DSP friends and Team Digital will be partying down in Anaheim at the DSP Laptop Crop.

Doodles must be entered (large copy emailed, and small sample uploaded) by no later than Saturday, January 27, at 1pm Eastern Time. We will accept the first 104 doodles entered, so please limit your entries to 2 doodles per entrant to allow all to participate! :)

Come see the entries already submitted in the DSP SUNSHINEY DAY DOODLE FONT FUN GALLERY! (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=3931)

[webfrau]

Cool! This sounds fun - even though I usually only doodle my name, I'll give it a go!

[SuzanneCWalker]

OH! Here are just a few ideas to get your wheels spinning.....

Sunshines, of course
Sunglasses
Bottles of Sunblock
Palm Trees
Sand Castles
Beach Balls
Umbrellas
Flip Flops
Beach Towels
Camera


Any more ideas???

:)

[ScrapMel]

This sounds like tons of fun - hmmm, I have tried using my tablet for doodling, not very good (I can't draw worth a FLIP!) but I will give it a shot!

[SuzanneCWalker]

Ohhhohhh, an umbrella-ish-drink!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

[SuzanneCWalker]

OH!! A beach-bag, maybe a book, and a big beach chair thing!

And that's just the BEACH - ANYTHING SUNSHINEY is fair game!

[boobearsmama1]

oh this sounds like so much fun. I will have to draw mine out and scan them. I don't have a tablet. :( I love doodles :)

[shazzt]

You have any particular size in mind for the full sized images you want sent to you Suz (not that I can draw to save myself!!)?

[honeymoon]

Ok... I'm first... here's Sprinkler (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160150&cat=3931) and Lawnmower (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160151&cat=3931)

I need to doodle more often to improve my skills here. Feel free to use or not use as appropriate.

[honeymoon]

And considering that we are suppose to be having summer at the moment, how come I'm looking out the window at rain!!!!

[webfrau]

Well I gave up on the tablet - I can't draw at the best of time and it seemed to make things much harder. Pen, paper and a scanner worked just fine.

I actually ended up with a whole set of doodles but the two are liked best are these:
Starfish (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160155&cat=3931)
Jellyfish (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160154&cat=3931)

[SuzanneCWalker]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, girls, these are so flim-flacking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAN, I would SO be doing snoopy dances if I could!!!! These doodles ROCK, and I can't WAIT to see more, more, more!!!! HOW FUN!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!

[dogartist]

Oh this sounds so fun and I like what I see so far! I cant do any until tomorrow so I hope there is still room!!
Amy

[ScrapMel]

Well, I TRIED. Can't draw. May get hubby to doodle some, he is pretty good at it!

[SuzanneCWalker]

Oh this sounds so fun and I like what I see so far! I cant do any until tomorrow so I hope there is still room!!
Amy
:yes:

Amy, my 7 year old LOVES your signature thing!! She also wants me to use this smiley face:

:hug:

[Pam]

Love it, Suz! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. This is just so kewl!!

[webfrau]

I mentioned I got carried away with my doodles...well... I turned them into a set of brushes and have decided to give them away as the posting bonus for January PS2 participants. (not sure if that will encourage or deter people :D )
If you want them just join in the PS2 art harmonies challenge (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18096)before the end of January.

Summery Doodles (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160167&cat=500&ppuser=29334)

[Bocca]

Sounds fun! I may have a go at it.

[isshinryu_mom]

Just wanted to say that you guys are sooooo talented!! The doodles that are posted are amazing! I've been trying to "doodle" one... boy is it harder than you'd think to draw something so simple! Maybe I'll be back later with something.

[ScrapMel]

Dang you all ARE good - I tried a palm tree, flip flops, umbrella (w/ an umbrella drink ;) ), even just SAND....no good.

[Bocca]

I'm with you Melanie. I've never been able to draw and never have been a doodler. Mine don't even look like a first grader did them. I haven't done anything yet that I would post. :o

[MarsOlson]

. . .even just SAND....no good.

LOL sand! that was funny.

[yvspeck]

Suzanne Walker you are just freakin evil... LOL... I want these doodles :cry: .. Darn it... But I will be busy in Mickey Town:p :p :p:p ....Laptoping ( is that a word?), rubbing elbows with lots of DSP talent, eating chocolate till I am green and soaking up lots of Disney, especially ordered for DSP, real sunshine :p :p :p.. But I want it allllllllllllll :cry: :cry: ... I just love what you all have done so far.. Way too much doodle talent here!

[Jill W]

Oh Suzie Q-zie ---- quite an awesome idea you have here!!!

Here's my two attempts ... I'm sorta doodle challenged!!

Sunshiney Day (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160270&cat=3931)

Flower Power (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160271&cat=3931)

[sammdc]

ooooooooh yes would love to do this

[SuzanneCWalker]

Well, DANG! Who asked about size?? Ummmmmmmmmmm, how about 3x3 per doodle at 200 dpi? What you guys have done so far have been perfect, so I'm thinking it won't really matter..... :) But I couldn't NOT answer.......

GIRLS, THESE DOODLES ARE INCREDIBLE!!! FLIM FLACKIN' INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! I WANT TO DO THE FONT RIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT NOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW, BUT HAVE TO WAIT.............. SO (NO PRESSURE) HURRY UPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! I AM DYING!!!!

[SuzanneCWalker]

Dang you all ARE good - I tried a palm tree, flip flops, umbrella (w/ an umbrella drink ;) ), even just SAND....no good.


Even just sand............ LOLOLOLOLOL, rolling AROUND LAUGHING!!! You crack me UP!!!

[Corgi Lover]

No, just totally ignore me...... I have no clue what I'm talking about........ :) :)

REally, any size is great - as long as it's big enough to catch all the detail in the font itself. So... Maybe use 3x3 as a MINIMUM? :) Thank youuuuuuuu!

[ScrapMel]

REally, any size is great - as long as it's big enough


Hmmm, Suzzzzz....... what are YOU thinking about ...heeheehee:p

Sorry I could NOT resist!

[Audrey]

Oh, wow, you people are amazing doodlers!!!! I just LOVE what I've seen so far!

[dathamary]

I have a question, can my doodle have grey in it or does it have to be strictly black and white?

[sempson]

Here is my go! This was alot of fun! Thanks Suzanne!

[SuzanneCWalker]

Hmmm, Suzzzzz....... what are YOU thinking about ...heeheehee:p

Sorry I could NOT resist!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

NOT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Giggling my head off - that was TOO FUNNY!

[SuzanneCWalker]

I have a question, can my doodle have grey in it or does it have to be strictly black and white?

It can be grey but I'll end up turning it pretty much to b/w to create the font character. Does that make sense? So, whatever you can do is probably fine as long as it's okay for me to make it into b/w for the font. :)

[doda]

Okay, here's my doodle, definitely a doodle (I cannot draw) here it's a popsicle (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160517&cat=3931) Banana flavored, yummy.

[doda]

AND here's a popsicle with a bite (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=160520&cat=3931) out of it. Since I'm not a good doodler, I just took a bite out of my other popsicle, YUM! Couldn't decide which I liked, so here are both. So Suzanne, you can use the popsicle with or without a bite!hehe If you need a popsicle.

[doda]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone's doodles look so professional, the gallery is very intimidating. BUT I put mine in there anyway. It's all for fun, right?

[dathamary]

Here is the link to my feeble attempt. It is drawn by mouse, so you'll have to cut me some slack. (At least I didn't have to use the Sesame Street mouse).

[Tina]

Oh, drat... I have missed so many of the chats and got booted and can't get back in to the 11 one. Will try for tomorrow morning and HOPE I can get the font!

Now, being so new here, I have not done a posting bonus challenge before. I am guessing there's a bonus for posting a layout (maybe it's sugar free chocolate - that would be GREAT!). What happen's next?

[ChristineG]

Here's mine using the doodle font from yesterday, I just didn't know which thread to post in, then I found out everyone was using this one this morning.

[dogartist]

I guess I missed something! Where can I get the sunshiney day font? I couldn't make the chats but I would love to get the font - is it going into the store? Thanks!
Amy
:)

[Greenfingers]

Frugal- first you have to upload your LO in the appropriate gallery- at the time of uploading, there is a long pull down list to choose from.
When you LO is safely uploaded, click on it to open it and copy the web address. You can just go to the main gallery and it should be the last one posted.
Go to the forum concerned (e.g. this one) and paste your link.
Hope this helps:)

[SuzanneCWalker]

Howdy, guys!!! In case you missed the font during our weekend chats, I've put it into the freebie section! I couldn't bear it if even ONE of you didn't receive it, ESPECIALLY those who helped create it... You can grab it here: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=161309&cat=1222

:) Thanks SOOOOOOO much for making this such a BLAST!!! We will DEFINITELY have to do it again sometime!!!!! You guys ROCK!

[nancyr]

Suzanne - thanks so much for doing this. I had such fun using it.

[mandy@netlive]

Thank you so much for your hard work Suzanne - you so totally rock!!!
