Weekly Challenge #12 (12/2-12/8)

[r0binb]

Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901.



If he were alive today he’d be celebrating his 108th birthday this week. My original idea was to have you use a combination of 108 papers and elements on your layout, but that seemed a little excessive. So instead these are the rules:

1. Use exactly 12 elements, 5 papers, and 1 photo (12/5/01)
2. Add a quote from Walt Disney
3. In addition to the quote from Walt, your layout must be Disney related in some other way too
4. You have until midnight Disneyland time (PST) to post your layout for this challenge

HAVE FUN and HAPPY BIRTHDAY WALT!

Well, maybe just a little

Thanks so much for hosting! I love that everyone must include a little bit of Walt in this one.

I have my quote and my photo ... but all those elements are giving me a fit!

I agree...it is HARD to use 12 elements! But I will keep trying.....

That's why it's called a challenge. Just be glad my DH didn't influence the rules. He suggested adding one font & one alpha (for one man/one mouse) but I thought that was really too much to deal with.

And for clarification, it's a total of 12 elements not 12 different kinds of elements. So in my layout, I have staples in each corner of the photo and each count toward the total number of elements.

Okay...I have twelve elements...and after I got started I wanted to add more than twelve (I counted each mickey brad as one element even though they were originally three brads, but I "welded" them to make each one one).

Love the use of a quote. I need to try to get this one done.

What a fun challenge! As soon as I found the quote I thought of the perfect picture - it might not scream Disney at first sight, but it was taken in Cosmic Ray's in Tomorrowland and basically fits our excitement at being in MK (plus there's a hidden Mickey in my sister's earrings). The twelve elements - 6 flowers, 2 ribbons, 2 stitches, 1 glitter, 1 sparkly gem (on the pink flower - it came separate!). Thanks for not doing 108 pieces - I think my photoshop would have rebelled
