Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

Hi everyone! :wave:

I'm Susan and I'm happy to be the host this week! We have some anniversaries coming up in the next week: Magic Kingdom's 38th, Epcot's 27th, and my husband and I celebrate our 19th on Oct. 6! Therefore, I thought the theme this week would be paying tribute to someone or something you love that relates to Disney in some way or celebrating a special occasion, event, or milestone.

Your options are:
1) Pay tribute to a special person or favorite character, park, parade, restaurant, or attraction. or
2) Share a special event or occasion at Disney or is Disney-related.

Layouts must be Disney-related and must be posted in this thread by midnight on 10/06/09. I will update this later in the week with prize info.

Below is a layout I just did that pays tribute to my Disney "geek" husband on our last trip. He had just gotten his iPhone and I kept finding him on it. LOL! My daughter and I were in one doom buggy and he rode alone behind us in Haunted Mansion. One of the times we spun around, we saw the glow of his iPhone and I had to snap a picture (no flash!) using my ISO setting. It's graining but I LOVE this memory. This was my little tribute to my geeky husband. :)

I hope you all will join in this week! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Prize: One lucky winner chosen at random will receive a $5 gift certificate to the Scrapmatters store.

Oh, Susan - that LO is just too funny! :lol2: Thanks for giving us something to smile about!

I know what I'm going to scrap about - but I need to find the newspaper article, first!

Re: Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

Thanks for the challenge Susan! :hooray: Your LO was too CUTE! That is what my son looks like all the time :lol: I am off to see what I can come up with :surf: lol

Re: Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

My husband and I went to Disneyland (his first visit) for our honeymoon 14 years ago and I took our daughters on their first visit to Disneyland for the 50th anniversary celebration 10 years later. Maybe I can combine the two? Hmmm...I'm off to scan the pics into my computer so I can make my layout.

Re: Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

Great challenge, Susan! Hmmm, what to choose, what to choose? :willynilly:

Journaling: Who doesn't love Mickey Mouse? I will admit that I have never been a huge fan of Mickey. I always chose others to love before him, but every now and then I see him around the park and he just makes me smile!

Re: Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

Tanya - I love your tribute to Mickey! Awesome selective coloring and your elements and colors used are so Mickey! Fabulous!

Hi everyone! I love this challenge and everyone has produced some really cute LOs. Anyway, as soon as I read the requirements for this challenge I knew I had to scrap about my dog and his WDW shirt. So I guess I am paying tribute to my special little dog who is also a disney fan.

Great challenge, Susan! I just had to pay tribute to Dreamfinder! Some people might not know that the purple dragon at Epcot was Dreamfinder's "figment" of his imagination. I miss him and still hope that he returns someday. We were there the year the attraction opened in 1983. Although Imagination is in its third incarnation, the first one was definitely the best!

Hpgirl: The Jammin' Jungle parade in AK is my favorite! Your pictures are awesome and the colors you used perfectly accentuate the beautiful puppets and costumes! Terrific job!

RuthieRoo: Beautiful layout! Wow, that dessert looks wonderful! Great use of different patterns and textures! Love your picture frames. Great job!

Pooh46: I miss that attraction and Figment! :cry: It's just not the same without him. The purple and gold are awesome! Love all the elements you used and your pictures are terrifiC! Fabulous job!

:goodjob:

Re: Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

Okay - I'm working on mine! Hopefully I'll be done soon.

Re: Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

Here it is - I'll post it in the proper gallery tomorrow (wherever that may be!)

I chose to do the page about my Dad. He could do a fantastic Donald Duck voice, so I knew this was the perfect thing for the layout. I wish that I could've found the copy of the newspaper article that had the full photo of him in his office - complete with his entire Donald Duck collection sitting on his shelf. It was something, that's for sure!

Journaling: It is amazing how just a little something can make the biggest difference in those around you, like Dad's gift of speaking like Donald Duck. He had children flocking to our house asking to play with Mr. Donald Duck. They couldn't help it, they were just were drawn to the magic. He even used it at work, as the article below shows. And whenever we saw anything with Donald on it, we bought it for Dad. This article does not show the extent of his collection he had in his office. Since we had hardly ever been to his office, we had no idea just what we had created. There were Donalds all over the place. He even had a Donald pencil topper "pole sit" as he counted down the days to his retirement. His collection is now spread out among this grandchildren, a bit of his legacy going to new places. I only wish that I would've taken the time to learn to speak Donald Duck from him. Now that would've been a kick!

Re: Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

Quiltymom: What a precious tribute to an amazing man! Your layout is gorgeous but I am blown away by the story of a man who invested so much in the lives of children! My dad grew up on Donald Duck and he used to talk to us like him when we were little. There's something so special about the duck! Thanks for creating such a wonderful tribute and sharing this wonderful story with us! Beautiful job!

I will check tomorrow morning for any additional layouts and will post the random winner sometime tomorrow. Thanks everyone for participating. All of your layouts were so wonderful!

Re: Weekly Challenge #3 {9/29/ -10/6}
 

This isn't the layout I was hoping to do for this challenge. Time just got away from me and the other didn't get finished.

This is from the DCL cruise we took last summer. We stopped after breakfast to participate in the Mickey 200 races - build a car out of potato and carrot then race it. It was a great family activity, something we wouldn't normally do. I loved watching father and son work together to come up with the "best" car. And though our's crashed off the track, DS still wanted to keep his creation. (They wouldn't let us because of the nails and toothpicks, though.)

Ah just snuck in with minutes left (well, it's not quite midnight here) =-)

This is from my birthday this year. My son shares the same birthday (yes, my best birthday present ever). Of course we took advantage of the 'free on your birthday' promo, and spent the day at the Happiest Place on Earth. :sorcerer:

Thanks so much for hosting, Susan!! :thanks:
