Join the first ever “scribble this!” challenge!
Hi everyone! I’m super excited to announce the first ever “scribble this!” challenge — hope you can join in the fun! It’s a cardmaking challenge with a little twist — part of the challenge is to learn new photography skills!
For this first challenge we’re going to start with what I consider to be the key to taking good photos of crafty projects: white balance — because if the whites in your photo don’t look good, the rest of the colors won’t look good either! Here’s how to enter the challenge:
- First, read this tutorial on white balance.
- Next, create a card that has lots of white in it. Take pictures of your card with different white balance settings and post them on your blog, Flickr, or wherever you like! Experiment, have fun, and write about what you’ve learned. If your camera doesn’t have a white balance feature, not to worry — just write about that. AND, you’ll be definitely want to play in next week’s challenge where we learn about levels!
- Leave a link below to the post with your card — be sure not to leave a link to your whole blog.

Thanks for playing in the first ever Scribble This! Challenge.
AND! Feel free to add the challenge image to your post — you’ll want to save the image to your computer and then upload it like you do a photo. Thanks so much to my friend Mon Thai for creating it — she’s a graphic designer who does work for Hero Arts and a super friend — I just love what she did! Thanks again Mon, had fun! Hugs! Can’t wait until Mon has a blog and then you can see more of her wonderful work!
Can’t wait to see the cards! Here’s some ideas: weddings, graduations, black + white cards, bright summery cards with a white background, or soft soothing pastels with lotsa white. And, can’t wait to see your photo experiments, too — I bet we all learn from each other! I’ll pick some cards to feature next week. I’m thinking 10 — unless there’s a huge response, and then I’ll share more!
One more thing! I wanted to say thanks so much to everyone who helped me test Mr. Linky on this post! If you posted a link to your card there, please re-link it here so that they are all in one place.
Let the first ever “scribble this!” challenge begin! YEAH!

Weird.. I don’t know if it’s just my crappy laptop, but I can’t see the picture in this post.
Hi Jaded! Weirdness! I refreshed the image — can you try it now? Thx!
Hey Lisa
It’s still not working :/
This is so weird, trying to think of what it could be — just changed the color profile, maybe that was it?
Hugs and thanks for bearing with me while I get the kinks worked out!
I see the photo!!
I love love love the ‘Scribble This’ brand name for your contests!!!!! It’s just you!!!
This is fab – love the “scribble this” challenge image – so cool. Even though I don’t have control of my white balance on my camera, I am going to give it a go. Thanks for challenging us and helping us to improve our photography Lisa.
I refreshed the page and it still isn’t coming up for me but it looks like it’s working for others. Maybe I’ll try to connect from home later and see if it works
Hi Lisa! Looks great and I hope you get lots of submissions!
Mon
YAY!!!! I figured it out! Photoshop was setup with CMYK colors — that’s what you use for print. Once I switched it over to web colors it worked. Thanks a ton to my great MIL, Dotty, for helping me figure it out! Love you Mom!
Thanks to Jaded too, for bearing with me!
Hey Lisa! I hope I can find time to participate! Things have been crazy in my neck of the woods.
I did build my own photo tent on Friday – it’ll be so fun to play with that for this challenge! (And I can see the challenge picture just fine when I’m on your blog, but it wouldn’t appear from Google Reader.)
ohhh, how cool is this! “scribble this” challenge! awesome! okay, i’m going to give it a go. when i purchased my camera, i read that manual a millions times but i’m still not all there! so i love that you’re going to teach us lisa. thank you
Yep! It works now
I should be the one thanking you for figuring it out so I could participate! Thanks Lisa!
What a creative challenge! Not only we get to make a White card AND it (preferably) has to be in the White Balance setting. Not sure if I can do it… but I shall try my best! Thank you, Lisa, for this “one of a kind” challenge!
this was a good challenge! I’m proud of myself for trying it, and for being able to find my camera manual.
Hi Lisa! I added my entry- this was a great challenge! Looking forward to more!
I tried playing with my camera yesterday with my Canon xTi and it doesn’t seem to work for me… but I’m SO technologically challenged though… might try and give it another go… Very cool challenge none-the-less.
Thank you very much for sharing your “tips and trics” Lisa!
Great tutorial & challenge!
What a great new challenge!!! I did a card and worked on the white balance! Can’t wait what you are coming up with next.
Greetings from Germany, Bianca
Thanks Lisa for a interesting tutorial. My camera does not have as great or easy to use WB mode as yours … but I did get out the owners manual and found a 1/4 page on WB – I ended up using the auto function in the manual WB – which I think made a bit of a difference. I’m going to have to re- read your tutorial to see if I really understand what it is all about. Anyway the cream and white card I did photographed a bit better doing what I did…. so that good. Thanks again
Hi Lisa.. just added my entry.. thank you for your tutorial, however in my camera Sony DSC T-2 the WB is automatic setting. I’m looking forward to the next challenge..
Hi, Lisa – thanks for your tutorial. I just added my entry. I only linked one photo. The rest of them is on my flickr photostream. I don’t know if I did this right. I didn’t have extra light ( fluorescent or bulb) while I was shooting, just the nature light source. Is that you suppose to do? Anyway, thanks again. I’m looking forwart to learn more about camera shooting.
I had a lot of fun experimenting with the different light modes on our camera. Before reading your tutorial, I never knew that such a thing existed. Can’t wait to try out your next challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed learning how to properly take a picture of my cards.
Thanks!
I realize I missed this weeks challenge, but I posted my card anyway! Thanks for the great tutorial!
