Granny Birthday Celebration Sign ups

[sammdc]

Our official Birthday for the Granny thread is April 23rd so to ensure we all get a present it was suggested we should make wonderful layouts for each other based on the beautiful layouts Ineke and Quanita did for each other for the February Swap Challenge you can see their lovely layouts here

Quanita (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242517)


Ineke (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242515)

So the idea is sign up and at the end of March I will partner everyone up and your job will be to interview each other swap a photo of yourself and then make a layout introducing your Granny and what you learnt about them to the rest of us.





__________________

Of course all our layouts will need to be posted in the Granny gallery by April 23rd.

OH and this is for anyone who would like to join in the Birthday Celebration

PRESENTS?? Yes we will be awarding random prizes depending on the number of sign ups and the generosity of any donations from our Granny's/Designers/DSP heheheheh that is a hint to DSP GODDESSES and Designers

Stay tuned for a list of prizes hehe or maybe I will only reveal the prizes to those who sign up hehehehehe

Prizes Galore

Brand New Kit by Beth Nixon, Gift from Elisabeth Weaver, gift certificates to the store donated from Grannys so far up to over $40 worth Fantastic Sunrise Kit by our very own GIT gundimom
It's going to be wonderful as we will come up with a way to ensure to spread the prizes around so as many ppl as possible get something.

Other than that I reserve the right to change things as they occur to me or to any other granny who might want to suggest something.
Oh and hopefully there will be other activities organized by some of the other granny chatters between now and April 23rd.

That sounds interesting Miss C. I dont mind donating a gift cert for a kit (I dont know how to do it but someone else will!). Dont know about my boofhead being the centre of attention on a layout though. Anyone got a burkha? :lol:
Anyway photoshop may help out!
Count me in! :tup:

[sammdc]

hehehe vallie it can always be a baby photo hehehehehehe

[sammdc]

in fact that might be fun everyone can email me a baby photo and we can play match the baby photo to the layout.

I will upload all the baby photos so no one will know which belongs to who.

and I will donate a prize to the first person who successfully matches the baby pic to the right layout heheheheeh

[dagwood]

count me in.......I just love a good party and this one will not interfere with Weight watches at all......I think I have had my requirement of five posts:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

love the idea of matching up the baby photos.....do you want baby photos or up to about 3 - 4 years....

[Ineke]

Count me in as well Caro - by the way those links you put in before are both for my layouts that I did for Quanita - I dont know if that was what you had intended to do.

[RoadMap4Us]

Count me in, Carolyn! Sounds like fun!

[scamptx]

Me too! Me too! I wanna play!

[GrandmaCrys]

See, Carolyn? I knew you would do an excellent job organizing this! ;) ;)

Count me in, please. April is a terrible month for me at work, but I'm willing to burn the midnight oil to participate in this challenge! :yikes:

The baby photo idea is very inspirational! I'm really going to have to do some searching!:yes: :yes:

Thanks again; you're the best.

Oh, and BTW, I'll buy a $3.99 gift certificate in a winner's name, if that'll work?!?!? I've bought one before for someone else; I'll just have to be reminded how I did it!!!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[GailS]

April 23 is my REAL birthday! How cool is that!! Please count me in, I'd LOVE to do a Granny Swap!!! :yahoo:

[GailS]

[Christine]

[MarsOlson]

Great job putting this together Carolyn! I would love to take part. I will also donate a gift certificate. The baby photo matching game sounds like fun. :)

[evergreen100]

I'm playing, count me in!!!! I've probably made 5,000 or more posts in the GT, does that qualify me???:D (I am a bit daunted about my face appearing in all its non-glory though:eek: , but I did get some clever ideas from the SPAD photos everyone was doing:)). I donated a page kit coupon last time so am happy to do so again if required. Now, a baby photo too:think: must be one around somewhere! You will do a marvellous job of this Caro, and thanks!!! Should we dress up our flatties again this year????

[sammdc]

Prizes GaloreBrand New Kit by Beth Nixon, Gift from Elisabeth Weaver, gift certificates to the store donated from Grannys so far up to over $20 worth and a wonderful kit by our own Gundi

I"ll also donate a coupon for a kit if someone tells me how.
Thanks for doing this!

[LauraLou]

Sign me up!!!

[RoadMap4Us]

I'm no expert on blinkies but I've muddled my way through all of our past granny blinkies. I'd love to do it again!!!

Shout out some ideas of what you'd like to see on the blinkie, Grannies!

[evergreen100]

A granny blinkie would not be the same by any other maker:)

[GrandmaCrys]

Yes, I agree with JillEG; Roadie is our official *Blinkin' Granny*!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[sammdc]

our blinkie should just have an words such as "Invitation Granny's 2nd Birthday Bash Prizes Galore Everyone welcome and then a link to this thread and maybe use some of Elisabeths and or Beth's kits to make it seeing as they donating prizes.


BUT seriously what ever any one makes is perfect

LOL! Carolyn -- You crack me up!! A woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to ask for it! Love it!!

I'll throw a birthday blinkie together this weekend and see what you think.

I'm also thinking that it's time for a new regular Granny blinkie. Maybe a change once a year is not a bad thing for that blinkie. Anyone have ideas on what they would like to see a new Granny-thread blinkie???

[JaeDee]

Oh my!! I just saw this!! Sign me up!!!

[bethliz]

okay sign me up please...i don't know if i have 5 posts or not..but i think i am pretty close...i do sticky beek in the granny thread a lot and everynow and then i put my two cents in...lol..this would be fun girls....don't know if you are interested in a freebie or not but i have made a kit....you can have it as a prize if you like...i have done layouts from it and they are in my signature...the first two layouts...let me know if you are intersted?...cheers liz

I think a new regular Granny blinkie each year sounds like fun!!!! I have no brilliant suggestions to offer though, not even a less than brilliant one:D. I am VERY fond of our "red threads around the world" one,though, and will probably hang on to it even when there is a new one!)

[scamptx]

A new Granny blinkie will be fun, but I have to say how much I truly love, love, love our blinkie now! Oh, and now reading EG's post above mine, I see she's said it already!

[sands_healy]

hey how come I only got to see this today???? HUH?????


Errr..... sign me up :)

[sands_healy]

Oh..... and I'll donate a gift certificate too :)

[BethHardy]

Me, too! Me, too! Sign me up! I'll also donate a gift certificate. A new grannie blinkie sounds like fun, but like the others, I love, love, love our red threads around the world and will keep it also.

[MamaGenie]

Boy, I would like to try this. I am so green (new) I will look great on St. Patty's day. Count me in

[HeatherL]

Please sign me up for this party too. I may need a reminder as I am soooooooo menopausal these days.

[LisasMom]

Oh, of course I want to play!! I love playing! I play everyday, all day!!! I'm a *playin' fool*!!!

I have two ideas for non-scrapping events since some of us are slower than others (or just have unreasonable tax customers who demand all our time!! Humph!) What about a thread to share our very best *granny moments* (although we usually share those anyway, we can dig out some new ones, maybe from back in the day!) and what about a thread to share our very best grannies or grandbabies stories that reflect on Kay's original posting? I love hearing everyone's stories so I would just love to read everyone's responses to those two ideas. Whatcha think?

[sammdc]

Vicki that is a wonderful idea so start a new thread in the granny forum and get us started we can use one of our prizes or two of them for random winner/s of who ever posts a story or a memory in the thread

[sammdc]

Oh..... and I'll donate a gift certificate too :)
thanks sands yer a star :)

[sammdc]

oh and dont forget to be digging out the baby photo of your self as the day I allocate you your partners I willgive you my email address so you can email me your baby pics

[wuvie]

Sign me up, I will donate a gift cert.

[GranFran]

Oh, yes! I want to play. Sign me up, and I'll donate a certificate for a kit. How much fun this is going to be!

[Carma]

[mariafer]

[yvspeck]

Do ya all mind me and my drippy nose joining in... This is all so cool.. Love it and I would be honored to contribute to the prize pool as well. Just tell me how to go about it... Sammdc I have a baby photo scanned and ready to be emailed just need an address...

[LisasMom]

Well, I already gave one clue in the granny thread. I said that my picture wasn't up there yet and then Alice and Impy both talked about sending theirs in. So that's a pretty good start on clues!

[GrandmaCrys]

Yeah, Vicki, and who's that smart? :confused: :annoyed: :eek: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Dovedesign]

May I sign up? Sounds fun. I know I have posted one comment in the thread, not sure anymore.

[sammdc]

everyone one is welcome to join in the more the merrier great way of getting to know ppl

[sammdc]

wowowowow ladies I just got a gift certificate in my mail box for $10 so some lucky lady during the birthday bash is going to win it. The wonderful generous lady who donated the prize wants to stay anonymous.

[sammdc]

ok the main list in the first post has just been updated please check your on the list so I dont miss you and I just sent out a pm to all the newest sign ups with the details about where to send your baby photo. Please let me know if i have missed you.

[sammdc]

ok this is a baby photo granny msg

I want you all to go find YOUR SELF in the gallery and send me a pm using the number on your photo as the subject for example I might be Baby Granny #15 so I would have that as the subject line then what I think we all going to need is some clues which i will add to each description.
So I want you to pm me some clues that will help the others match the granny up with the baby. For example I could give the glue "this baby grew up and fell in love with a Texan". hehhehe and yawl would know it was me.

now this is as clear as mud hahahaha just trying to make it a bit easier to match up the baby and the granny

[sammdc]

woohoo so already got one clue on the granny baby pic so you need to start compiling a list with your guesses on it we have some fabulous prizes

oh and I am going to start very soon sending out links to the bonus from Elisabeth to everyone who has signed up or is playing or involved in the Birthday Bash in some way

[carti]

I don't have a baby photo of myself so I will not join in this. Wishing everybody who does good luck!

[wuvie]
