Weekly Challenge #144 - July 25 - 31
 

Hello everyone!
One thing I love about challenges is that it always help me to step out of my comfort zone, either by using just one picture (I'm more of a 5 or more pictures), or doing a technique I rarely do, or mixing font and alpha for a title, or scrap without using a template :eek:

So this week's challenge is about you stepping out of your confort zone and maybe expanding it. Just make sure you tell me what you did that is not usual.

Here a couple of examples

Only 1 picture

Tiny pictures, Its been a while that Im inclined to big pictures templates

And here is what you're playing for:

Stack Me Up - Lights, Camera, Hollywood! donated by Sarah (saar) from Designs by Sarah. It comes with 4 page starters and 4 stacked papers.

And a reminder of the general rules:
1. Remember that your page has to be Disney or a nearby park related
2. Post it in the Weekly Challenge gallery
3. Post it in the corresponding themed thread and in this thread
4. Please, don't use a quick page to fullfill the challenge

Awesome Ana! Thanks for the inspiration to get outside of my comfort zone. Yikes! :eek: Sarah's PP is amazing. Sarah you rock! Thank you Ana and Sarah for challenge and terrific goodies. Now to get my thinkin cap on.... and get rid of the fraidy cat. ;)

Awesome challenge Ana Carol! I know exactly what I plan on doing to push my scrapping boundries... Going to work on it straight away, I'll be back soon with my layout. Love Sarah's PP also. Thanks so much ladies!

Normally I love to have a page crammed with photos so I decided to use just one picture and I also decided not to journal AT ALL. Thats a biggie for me... I always try to do journalling of some kind! I'm quite pleased with the result:

Great challenge Ana. I'll try to participate myself.

And already one beautiful layout. Melissa-Ann, that's gorgeous! And wow, you're fast.

Great challenge, Ana! And loving the PP Sarah donated! Now to just find time to play. :)

What a cute PP!! I'll be back with a layout soon! :thumbsup:

WOW!
 

Love Sarah's designs! Don't want to miss this PP! Thanks for hosting! Adding it to my TO DO list!
:thanks:

Fun challenge! I have such a hard time using circles on layouts, especially circular pictures. I never get them sized correctly, there is something weird in the background, the focus of the pic is un-centered so it won't work for a circle.... So this was a challenge for me to use ALL circle pics! I don't know if I'd do it all the time, but I like it!

Here is mine! I never scrap 2 page layouts because i can never figure out how to link the 2 pages together, but with this challenge, I was really trying to do it.

THanks for hosting and thanks for the great PP!

Here's mine! I don't usually use just 1 photo on a page, but did that with the left side of my layout, making the one photo fit the entire page, and blending it into the background (another new thing for me, learning properly how to do that). The Right side of the layout, again, I don't usually put THAT many photos onto a page, but this theme required such a layout, and I think it turned out great! Other new thing for me, is the Alpha, making the First Letters Stand out :) Thanks for the challenge and for the GREAT PP!

Thanks for hosting Ana, and thank you Sarah for the PP:)
I resized the paper to change the patterns for the little strips. I also recolored a bit - which I've *never* done before.

Wow great LOs so far!
Thanks for participating girls, I just sent you the PP.
:hooray:

Thank you Ana and Sarah:)

More Golfing Fun
 

Thanks for the Challenge.
One thing I haven't done much of is using the Alphabets, mostly because I have trouble getting them lined up and spaced the way I want them. So that was what I incorporated into this page. Hope you like it.

Thanks for a fun challenge and excellent PP!

I usually use one or two kits, so it was perfect to stretch myself a bit and pull things from many kits for this layout since there isn't a Wishes Dessert Party kit! LOL!

Thanks for the challenge and pp! Love it!
I never leave so much white space or in this case yellow space on a page. It's hard for me not to want to fill it in :)
Thanks again!

Great LOs.
Sorry I have been MIA. I have been burning in fever the past couple of days.
Ill leave love and and send the PP as soon as I stop coughing my lungs out!
:)

So many great pages, but no wonder with such a challenge and a great pp as gift! Hope to get time to do something myself! ;-)

Beautiful pages ladies!
Love them.

I hope to get one in myself. I've had some time off from work, but I has such busy days, I wasn't able to scrap at all! Hope to get a page finished tomorrow after work.

Oh and Ana... I hope you feel better soon!
Hugs to you girl.

Hope you feel better Ana :(

This sounds like a fun challenge! Am just now able to look through the challenges.. my un-comfort zone is white space. It scares me and I rarely do it.. You know I like to fill my pages up too. lol. Will try to be back with a LO! Great PP Sarah!

Here's white space! lol... It feels so empty.. :) Thanks for hosting Ana and thank you sArah for the adorable PP!

Thank you for hosting Ana.

I finally have my page finished.
I love using alphas and I hardly do any page without them.
For the challenge, I didn't use any, but I did want a title for my page so I used a word art instead.

Meeting Flik @ Animal Kingdom
 

Thank you for hosting this challenge, Ana Carol, and thanks to Sarah for the awesome PP.

I am nervous about the selective coloring technique and it is way out of my comfort zone, so that's what I chose to do for this challenge. Here is how it turned out:

Thanks so much for the fun challenge, and thank you to Sarah for the awesome PP! I only used one kit on the layout, which is very out of the ordinary for me! :)

Thank you for hosting Ana Carol, and thanks Sarah for the awesome PP! I used
a template that had a blending mask and I played with the opacity, I also used
journaling strips for the first time.

Awesome LOs!!! :hooray:

I generally like to scrap TONS of pictures, so it is a real challenge for me to only use one!

Thanks for the challenge and the terrific PP!!

I don't normally use circles and I have never used a journaling box before!

Beautiful pages ladies!
You all did a great job.

I actually did this layout without a template. I never do a layout without a template. I actually can't really believe it, lol!
