Send your guesses for this game to aknussbaum@gmail.com. Use the subject line "Christmas Tree of Doom" for your email entry, and include your messageboard name and real name. Please include the product name and its link for as many items included in this Christmas Tree of Doom as you can find! You have until December 31 at midnight (MST) to enter. So now... here's how this game works:

The Christmas tree card above is made using 14 different papers. The paper designers include:

• Amanda McGee
  
• Amanda Sok
  
• Angie Briggs
  
• Brandie Valenzuela
  
• Brandy Murry
  
• Durin Eberhart
  
• Jan Hicks
  
• Mandy Steward
  
• Melissa Anderson
  
• Paula Wright

• Ursula Schneider

The Christmas tree card has 30 embellishments. Those designers include:

• Amanda McGee
  
• Angela Blanchard
  
• Ariadna Wiczling

• Brandy Murry
  
• Cherise Olson

• Marnie Adams
  
• Melanie Johnson
  
• Melissa Renfro
  
• Robert Schneider
  
• Rozanne Paxman
  
• Shalae Tippetts
  
• Sheri Johnson
  
• Syndee Nuckles
  
• Thao Cosgrove
  
• Theresa Kavouras
  
• Trish Yochum
  
• Valerie Randall

Now don't panic! You don't have to find them all to play the game. (Whew!) But anyone who DOES get them all correct will automatically win a $10 Gift Certificate! No problem. You've got it. This means more than one person can win a $10 gift certificate. (Anyone this motivated deserves a prize!) The winners of these gift certificates can get in on the rest of the game, too!

For all players:

• If you get 25 or more correct answers, you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Gift Certificate!
  
• If you get 10-24 correct answers, you will be entered into a drawing for a $10 Gift Certificate!
  
• If you get 5-9 correct answers, you will be entered into a drawing for a $5 Gift Certificate!

Does that sound possible? Hope so!

HINTS: The background paper DOES count, and the drop shadows DO NOT count. Everything is very straight-forward: papers and elements only. No brushes, tools, styles, etc. Some designers have more than one element included on this tree!

Even if you aren't up to playing the game, look at the pretty Christmas card that was made for you and see if you can recreate it using your favorite papers and embellishments! Have fun!

[Nadine80]

Iwill definitely try it...this time around I'm not a clueless newbie anymore...so bring it on!!!!

[Vaughnde]

I won't be playing but I'll sure see if I can recreate it using my own papers and embellishments

[no_idea]

I will be part of the cheering squad! Gooooo Girrrrllllssss!!!

[SandiC.]

Cheering squad for me too. You go Girls.

[angelaNussbaum]

You guys do realize that there are more than one chances to win right?

If you get them all, you get a GC automatically

IF you get 5- 9 you could get $5.00 GC
IF you get 10-24 you could get $10.00 GC
If yuo get 25 or more you could get a $25.00 GC


Dont give up so easily, you have till the 31st to get this done. or to at least get 5 done.

[lorac]

I'll give it a try, but I'll probably end up in the cheering section before too long. Today's a good day to try this and some of the other games out there on the board. It's raining, on top of snow and then we're supposed to get some more snow sometime later today here in New York. Good day to stay inside and play games. So to all of you who are playing, good luck and go get 'em.

[tiza126]

I'll give it a try. But it'll have to wait until I have my Christmas cards addressed and my Christmas presents finished...otherwise I'll never get those done. Good luck everyone who's braving the TOD this year!!!

[mbc72]

Wow-we get designer names this year, that will be a huge help-she says even though she has not started the search yet!

[Cheri T]

Aw come on gals, EVERYONE should be able to get at least 5 things out of 44, right?! That probably wouldn't even take too long...
My Christmas cards are calling, but I'll be searching the boutique on my "breaks" from addressing cards.

[scraphappen]

I couldn't find the stars and I thought that was easy I don't think this will be any easier!
So I"m not doing it. Going to call it my being too new here!! lol
Good luck everybody!!

[April Showers]

I worked on the tree when I was pretty new, and it was what hooked me. My husband saw me looking at it yesterday and said, "you're not doing that again are you?"

That first year (2006 for me) I was entered in the 10-24 drawing BTW. So don't give up just because you're new!

[Cheri T]

And April, how many new products did the TOD entice you to buy that first year? LOL!

[Smiles]

Isn't that the truth? you really scrutinize the collections, and then you are hooked!
Great marketing tool...

[CC from AZ]

I love this game It's a holiday tradition with me now... started last night ... and still looking and blinking and looking

Have fun with it!

I have no idea! I could go look and see what I bought. Love that boutique history.

[PhotoshopScrapper]

Angela - if we send our guesses in, will you be able to tell us if any of them are wrong so we get another chance like the other games? I'm just curious ... not anywhere near sending mine in but want to know if I only have one shot .

Thanks!

I did just a little research. Took me a little while to find my original list. I had to compare it to the tree since my answers weren't all right, but I already had 3 of the collections, I bought two more before the end of that year and 3-4 more fairly soon after. And there's another that I need to go see if it is still in the boutique. How's that?

Oooh, I'm excited!! Remember girls, I was the one hoping for another Tree of Doom!!!

And boy is it a Purdy TOD too!

Happy Searching!

[mbc72]

It IS a tradition, it wouldn't be Christmas without the TOD!! I looked yesterday and am almost through with the embellis, but haven't started on the papers, yet. So far, so good, I am not ready to tear out my hair yet!! It really helps having the designers' names.

Oh tree of doom, oh tree of doom...singing with Janine...

So Janine, are you going to be the Official ScrapGirls Bard/Poet Laureate/Songmeister?

[mbc72]

Angela, what does the brown brad on the red paper say? I can't read it and it is one of the few embellis I can't find. I am hoping that knowing what it says will help. Thanks

Heehee, I just know you have reputation as a shopper;)
Btw, it is shocking even to me how many items off this particular TOD I own...and even more shocking that I didn't recognize most of them, lol.

[Cheri T]

Well I only have one embellishment left to find, and of course I have no idea who made it (must be one of those who have more than 1)...argh!
Papers I've barely started on, but since it seems there is one per designer I have high hopes that I can figure them out.
