Weekly Challenge #186 (5/22-5/28)
 

Hi ladies! I am very excited to be hosting this week's challenge where are going to mix things up a bit. ;)

The focus of this week's challenge is lists. I want to see either a top five or a top ten list of whatever Disney magic you want to document. If you are running short on park or cruise pictures this could be a list of your family's favorite Disney movies, a child's favorite Disney toys or your favorite Disney collectibles. Other ideas might be favorite rides, foods (this could even be narrowed down to specific types of foods--snacks, desserts, drinks, etc), resorts, characters, restaurants, moments or memories of a particular trip, or even just a collection of your favorite pictures taken on a Disney vacation. These are just some of the ones that popped into my head and I look forward to seeing what other creative ideas this talented group will come up with!

Now onto how we are mixing things up. This week the extremely generous and talented Michelle from Mad for the Mouse Designs has donated an adorable participation prize to help with your list layouts.

But instead of getting the participation prize at the conclusion of the challenge you get it now so you can use it for the challenge. :yes: And to top it all off, anyone who participates in the challenge (and of course uses the prize on their layout) will be entered into a drawing to win a kit from the Mad for the Mouse's shop!!!

I am finally back with my layout (don't you just hate it when life gets in the way of your scrapping time?) Here is my take on our list challenge:

***UPDATE: This challenge is now closed and the pp above is no longer available.

Have fun!

Here are the guidelines for weekly challenges:

1) Challenge should be Disney related
2) Layout should be uploaded to the MouseScrappers Gallery in the Weekly Challenge category
3) Rules should be flexible enough to allow for both traditional and digital scrapbooking
4) Participants should post their layouts in two places: in the challenge thread, and in the appropriate forum
5) A new challenge will begin every Wednesday and will run through the following Tuesday
6) Providing participation prizes and selecting 'winners' are optional - this is left to the discretion of the host
7) Please keep an eye on your thread. Don't post the rules and then disappear all week - please keep an open dialog with participants and make sure they are posting where they need to be.
8) Let's all keep it fun and supportive... we are here to motivate each other.
9) If you are going to require love left please make the requirement no more than 5
10) Please don't use a quick page to fulfill the challenges -that really isn't fair to everyone who created their own page to receive the prize, and makes light of the prize providers work.

What a great challenge! LOVE the list idea and have already been thinking about doing some so now I get to jump right in!

Michelle, thanks again for your generosity! I never get tired of your amazing products and I'm always delighted when I see what you've thought up! :)

This look awesome!
I am trying to do my current trip album in project life style so this is just the push I need to get started. :)

If you cannot download this for some reason from Mediafire, please pm me, with an email address and I will mail it to you directly.
thanks for playing!

As of 5/22 we have 57 downloads of this Participation Prize! Can't wait to see your awesome layouts!
and as of 5/23 we are up to 78 downloads!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am still a newbie (I stalk a lot and don't do many challenges), but this one totally yelled out to me! It is so cute and versatile, I love every single thing about it!

Here's my attempt at the challenge, I hope I followed all the rules and did okay!

Thank you for the challenge and the amazing PP!

Such a great challenge! With the release of "Oliver & Company" on Blu-Ray it got me thinking about what my top 5 lesser known Disney movies are and this is the list I came up with! :)

Hey ladies! I have finally updated the first post with my layout and I have to say the layouts so far are awesome! All of the list topics are super fun and I hope to see many more layouts added over the next few days. Hopefully the long weekend will give us all some much needed extra scrap time. ;)

Keep them coming and happy memorial day to all of our American girls!

I keep jumping all over the place- trying to figure out what favorite list I want to do. The layouts keep giving me more ideas. It's been so fun to look through them all.

Thanks for the great challenge, and Michelle for the pp...I love it! That was my first time doing a "top 10" and it brought back lots of memories.

Thanks for the great challenge and great PP. Took me forever to decide on my list "theme". But I settled with Favorite Characters.

I'm not sure what forum to post it in. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I ended up putting it in the "Top Ten Forum"

Yes, of course! check these:

but I think is the top one.
hope that helps

Ok, I went totally out of my comfort zone with this weeks challenge. I had recently purchased the Mightiest Heroes kit and wanted to use it but I didn't have a way to use it with my photos and this challenge so I decided to do a Photo-less layout as well as a layout with lots of journaling.

Thanks for the fun and useful PP.

I ended up working over time this week and didn't make the deadline.
I don't want to be a "drive by downloader" so I'll do the layout with it as soon as I can and post it here.

Thanks for the awesome challenge :)

That sounds great! And while the pp will no longer be available and any further layouts aren't eligible for the drawing, I would still love to see additional layouts from anyone who may have already downloaded the pp. :yes:

Thanks so much to everyone who has participated thus far! I am thrilled with the huge variety of lists you came up with and I have gotten some great ideas for my own future layouts. I hope everyone had fun and thanks again to Michelle for her generosity!

Hey, Thanks-I just saw this post. I'll got put it in the top ten forum right now.
