Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

I know I'm early posting this, but my Internet has been acting strange today, so I wanted to post it while it was working.

“Magic Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?”

It’s time for a story challenge! To celebrate the release of Snow White on DVD we are going to use the story of Snow White as our inspiration. Your layout does not have to be about Snow White. We’re just using the story as the inspiration for the challenge.

REQUIREMENTS

1. Layout needs to be Disney related

2. The Evil Queen asks the Magic Mirror who is the “fairest one of all” so to represent the Magic Mirror USE AT LEAST ONE FRAME.

3. The magic mirror tells the Evil Queen that one with “Lips red as the rose. Hair black as ebony. Skin white as snow” is more fair than she. USE AT LEAST ONE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO. You can have more than one photo, but at least one should be black and white.

4. Snow White wears a red ribbon in her hair. USE AT LEAST ONE RIBBON.

5. When Snow White is in the woods she comes across the cottage of the 7 Dwarves, so to represent them on your layout USE THE SAME TYPE OF ELEMENT 7 TIMES. It should NOT be the exact element repeated 7 times. Try to use different sizes and colors.

6. The 7 Dwarves work in a mine with lots of gems and jewels. USE AT LEAST ONE GEM, JEWEL, OR CRYSTAL.

7. The Evil Queen wants the hunter to bring Snow White’s heart back in a box, so USE AT LEAST ONE HEART.

8. The Evil Queen gives Snow White a shiny red poison apple. INCORPORATE SOMETHING RED on your layout.

Here is my layout:

I don’t have a prize for this challenge, but I do have a pretty awesome participation prize for everyone who completes a layout:

I’ve had a *TON* of requests for a template of my “Disneyland Memories” layout and the only way to get it will be through this challenge. It will not be offered again.

You have until MIDNIGHT on October 27, 2009.

Have fun!

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

Melissa you must be reading my mind! On our trip back from WDW this weekend I kept thinking that I was going to have to attempt to replicate your Disneyland memories layout somehow because it would be a perfect way to start this trip's albums and lucky me you have created a template!!! :hooray:

Off to look through the insane number of pictures from this trip to decide which to use for this awesome challenge. I am so excited! Thanks Melissa for making my day!

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

This is such a great challenge and I love the participation prize. I can't wait to get my page done!

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

OK Melissa....I have to have that template!! I have to hunt around to find something since our first DL trip isn't till Nov...but I will find something! So fun!

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

I AM SOOOOOOO excited! That template is AMAZING!!!. I'm going to use it for my cover of our "2009 Year of Disney" book! It is sooo perfect that I could just cry!! This year we were Disney freaks! We went to DW, a Disney Cruise, DL and we are going again TOMORROW night to Mickey's Trick or Treat party and then the next day to DL for my son's b-day! This couldn't be more perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so generous. Okay... I'll stop going on and on and on. Off to print out these directions and start planning! LOL! -Michelle

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

Melissa, now I have to make time for this challenge since I love that template. Have to hunt for pictures!

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

Great template thanks so much I need to get started! :scrapbooking:

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

Glad you all like the template.

For instruction #5, you you use a lot of different things for you elements - papers, buttons, ribbons, flowers, stars, etc. It can really be anything as long as there are 7 of the same type of item and that they are each a little different since each of the 7 Dwarves is different.

I hope that gives you some ideas to make it easier.

It's a Disney theme- I promise! We were at Disney Studios waiting for DD and DH to come back from Tower of Terror, and I snapped these as we waited. :)

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

Here's my entry for the challenge. I'm new here and not quite sure where to post the pic (am I totally missing a gallery?), so I'm including it below. For the 7 elements, I covered 7 of the dots on the paper with a brad for each color. Note the Mickey Jewel.

Thanks for a great challenge. I was limited on my resources I had available because all my "stuff" is on my computer that is getting fixed. But I think I got all the requirements. OH- the heart is in my journaling! :hooray:

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

So excited you're giving out this template! Of course it's right after I lifted this layout (I used shape collage, which someone posted at the old board a while back) for my '85 cover. ;-) I still need this template because I'm definitely going to do a LO like this again & I couldn't move any of the pics around while I would be able to do with this template! I have been so behind in challenges, but I'm going to figure out something to do this week. :)

Such fun LOs so far everyone!! :sorcerer:

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

Here's mine! Way to get everyone motivated with that awesome template. I know I couldn't resist it.

I used mostly Distraction by Tracy Stroud, bling by Britt and the red mouse head paper is by DeDe Smith. My frame is also my ribbon. I hope that's okay. I have seven types of hearts, so my heart requirement is also my seven things requirement. I've got tons of red so covered there. Britt's mouse heads are the crystals/gem.

BTW: This is at Downtown Disney. I know it's not so easy to tell. :D

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)

Re: Weekly Challenge #6 (10/21 to 10/27)
 

That template is awesome so here I am, participating in my very first challenge! Hope I met all the requirements. This was so much fun to pull together!
