Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Ok! No pressure there!

In lieu of all that has happened these past couple days, I want to try to focus on the positive. So this week we will be scrapping HAPPY! You will have until Tuesday night to finish your masterpiece. I have a dotty paper pack to pass out to everyone that participates, I have not packaged it up, I just wanted to get the challenge posted, since it's a day short to begin with. I will be back to post the preview, but let's get started!

Remember that your layout must be Disney related somehow... parks, costumes, cakes, toys, whatever. :)

H - is for Happy of course, scrap a happy moment
A - is for Angles, lets see some angles on your page, not the usual squares and rectangles!
P - is for Pictures.... at least 3 of them!
P - is for Pinocchio - he told tales... lets see some journaling!
Y - is for Yellow. It is such a happy color, lets see it somewhere on your page!

It isn't what I planned to post yesterday, so I will work on my layout as well today! Remember to have fun and be happy!! :cool:

Here's the paper preview. It started out just Mickey colors, hence the M&M... then I thought 4 papers isn't much, so I added pink for Minnie since she sometimes appears in pink... then I went for all the pals... blue for Donald, purple for Daisy, green for Goofy, orange for Pluto and brown for Chip & Dale.

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

I am Happy to see the weekly challenges have begun, they get me going when I'm stuck and push me to try something new. :thumbsup:

I am sure I can come up with something happy to scrap from Disney!

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Hurray, a challenge. And a HAPPY one at that. :hooray:

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Awesome, Fran... thanks for hosting! And, thanks for keeping the momentum going in an energetic and positive manner. I love your focus on the HAPPY! Especially since 'happy' was a key word in the first sentence of Walt's opening day speech at Disneyland.

I will try to get a layout done this weekend.

:thanks:

Re: Weekly Challenge #1

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Great challenge, Fran! But can I tell you I kept reading #2 as "angels" instead of "angles"??? LOL!!!! :rolleyes: I was like, ANGELS????? Where in the heck am I going to find angels??? Maybe I can use Tinkerbell... Will a fairy pass for an angel??? LMAO!!!!

Re: Weekly Challenge #1

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Hey - I understood that whole angel/angle thing. Maybe because I'm blonde???? :crazy:

Maybe this week I'll remember to actually make my LO, rather than to just think about it.

Thanks for hosting, Fran!


Also, is there going to be a thread where we can sign up to host future challenges?

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Awesome challenge Fran!

Christy: I was angels, how am I going to make an angel! LOL Great minds think a like! :lol:

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

That's too funny!! I thought the same thing! I was on the phone with Dawn (AussieGirl) and I was like "What?! Angels?!" Too funny that others thought the same thing!

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

You are hysterical!! :chat:

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Sounds like fun, I'm so happy to be here! :thumbsup: And I was going to make my two grandkids the angels! :lol:

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

This challenge looks AWESOME Fran!! Hopefully I'll have time to play this week!

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Me, too. :ack: And I couldn't figure out for the life of me what angels had to do with a Disney layout. I think it was about the 5th time reading the rules that I finally got it.

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

:lol2: I am seriously laughing so hard that my family thinks that there is something wrong with me. I just put my 4 year old Twin girls to bed and they got up just to see what was wrong with Mommy!

I read angels too and felt like such a goofball. I felt so much better when I read Christy's post and posts from several others - I am not alone!! I was ready to google for halos and wings to put on my children's pics!

Fran, thanks for the HAPPY challenge - I am excited about Carol's site and that so many people are here to play this week!

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Chalk me up on the list of people who read angels!!!! I thought long and hard how I was going to make Tinker Bell look like an angel!!!!

Thanks for a great first challenge Fran!!!

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

I see a lot of familiar faces here.

I'm glad the challenges are back. I just returned from D23 and have a ton of photos to scrap! :surf:

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Looks like a fun challenge Fran! I will try to scrap something when we get back home. :)

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Thanks for a great first challenge in our new home, Fran! OK, am I the only one who didn't read "angels"? BTW, my ANGLES are in the stars.

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

I worked on this LO waaaaay too long. Much too long. Like 4 hours long. So, enough was enough! I've got my angles in there - barely! :blush: So, here it is. Image is linked for credits.

Re: Weekly Challenge #1
 

Hi everyone! This was such a great first challenge, thanks Fran! Those angles were tough to work in, but I think I got it. Anyway, I love this ride and am so happy that I got to visit a little slice of Mexico while on vacation in Florida.
