Weekly Challenge #8 (11/4 - 11/10)
 

Hello! Jan here to host this week's challenge.

I just recently returned from a wonderful Disney Cruise. Here's the latest layout that I have made from that trip, and it will serve as the roadmap for what you are to create:

So, here's what you need to scrap:

1. First and foremost, your LO must be somehow Disney related.
2. Use two photographs
3. 3 different trims or ribbons
4. One element cluster
5. A title using an alpha (you may also use a font within the title, if you want)
6. There must be a Mickey somewhere, either in the photo or as part of your design/elements/hidden Mickey, etc.
7. Frame one of your photos
8. Use some stitching somewhere
9. Add don't forget to journal!

(Dating your page is optional - I usually don't date a page that is going to be in an album filled with multiple pages from the same day/event.)

**Also, please remember to cross-post your layout in the appropriate forum (relative to your layout). Thanks!**

And two very lucky Donald Ducky winners (chosen using random.com) will receive a template pack of their choice, courtesy of Denise Beatty Originals from over at ScrapMatters.com!!!! :woohoo: Her stuff is so cool! You can check out her store here.

Here are a few pages that I've done using some of Denise's wonderful templates:

using a Cha Cha Cha Chia template and her Let's Get Together collab kit with Erica Zane (credits)

using a Spread the Wealth template and her Back to Basics: Bold Alpha (credits)

All pages must be submitted by Midnight, Tuesday, November 10 to be eligible for the prize drawing. But if you can't get a LO done by then, we'd still love to see what you create.

Ready, Set, GO! Have fun! :scrapbooking:

What a beautiful layout, Jan!

Thanks so much for hosting!

Oh yay! I'm looking forward to playing along this week. :)

Totally fun challenge!! Your page is GREAT and I love the steps. :)

Fun challenge Jan! Hopefully I'll find some time for scrapping this weekend! Great Prize too!

Fantastic LO, Jan! I love those guys at Castaway Cay! Fun challenge...I'd better get busy!

Only two photos was a tough one for me, I like to load my pages. I think I have all the requirements. The Mickey is on all our shirts, hope that counts.

AWESOME challenge Jan!!!:thumbsup: I am off to pick my pictures...see you soon!

I am confussed:confused: what does this mean?:help:
"**Also, please remember to cross-post your layout in the appropriate forum (relative to your layout). Thanks!**"
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

For every challenge, I would like each participant to post their layout in two places:

- the challenge thread
- the forum where your particular layout would normally go. i.e. if your layout is about the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World, then it should go in the “Liberty Square” forum of Magic Kingdom.

This way, people can easily find your layout when they want to… otherwise, they will have a hard time finding it buried among all the pages of the challenges

Bottom line, I want people to find your layout long after the challenge is over.


(btw, for some reason, I can’t see your layout… not sure if my work is blocking it or if there’s a temporary problem with your image)


I hope that makes sense... let me know if you need help.

Carol

Everyone here is getting me addicted to digital scrapbooking. Here is my third page ever! I am so excited about how it came out.

Journaling:
When we went to Hollywood Studios we knew we had to let Haley meet the Playhouse Disney characters. She was so excited and kept telling us she was going to meet June! We kept telling her it may not be her that came out, but she swore it would be her for sure! Lucky for her, she was right! When she saw June she ran right up to her and gave her a huge hug! We had a hard time getting her to stop hugging her so we could get a picture.

Thanks for hosting this week! This challenge was perfect for a layout that I was stuck on. My daughter almost stole someone's pretzel (by accident) in Frontierland and it was one of those funny family moments. I took the pictures to remember what happened and how hard we laughed afterwards.

The text reads:
"We stood in line at the pretzel kiosk in Frontierland and ordered each of us a pretzel. Right after we ordered, Katie quickly grabbed the first pretzel that was ready. Much to our surprise,
someone else was grabbing for the same pretzel! The pretzel really belonged to that other person since they were in the line ahead of us. Fortunately, we quickly saw what was happening and Katie politely handed over the pretzel to its rightful owner. Her embarassment quickly faded and we all had many laughs at the thought of her trying to “steal” someone’s pretzel. An innocent mistake turned into a funny family moment. I took these pictures as evidence ..."

Meeting Minnie
 

Thanks for a great challenge Jan! And here is Meeting Minnie
http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/w...09-Page023.jpg

Journaling reads: During breakfast at Chef Mickey's you met all of Disney's fab five but you seemed to have an instant bond with Minnie. As she approached you excitedly said "Mommy, Minnie is coming and look at her cute shoes!" Minnie overheard this compliment and proudly displayed her shoes for you to take a closer look. Then in her own special Minnie nonverbal way she told you she loved your shoes too! It really was a very memorable meeting.

Everyone's layouts look great! Sorry that I've been awol from here, but I gotta get my computer into the shop for repairs, so I've been spending my spare time trying to clean up the hard drive to get it ready for backup. Not fun.

I'll be back tomorrow to leave comments. Ya'll have one more day to make a page if you haven't done so already!

Jan

Jan, thanks so much for hosting!!

Britt, thanks for leaving love for everyone. I love your clustering and your hanging Mickey with date. Looks like everyone is having fun!

carolc- is it just me or can anyone else see your layouts? i love seeing yours. but for this challenge and the last one all i get is a blank spot and if you go to credits it sends you to the sign in spot... i would love to see yours!

Whoa... thanks, Karrie. I didn't know others couldn't see them. I tried using the 'album' feature that came with this software (in the 'Community' drop down menu). I guess it's not working very well. :no: Okay, nobody use the albums until I can buy a better photo package (I'm considering PhotoPost).

Thanks for the heads up. I moved my image... let me know if you still can't see it. I will go back and fix last week's stuff too.

I'm here! I'll leave ya'll lots of love in a bit - I promise! (Britt - your comments were wonderful! Thanks for doing that.) :thanks:

I spent about 8+ hours yesterday cleaning up my hard drive, editing and deleting photos from MM, and I'm still not even close to done. I gotta do it all before I can send my computer in for repairs - irg. So that's why I haven't been here a lot. Well, that and playing at ScrapMatters this weekend, too. :whistle:

Thank you to everyone who played along this week - I loved seeing what you came up with! And Carol, I thought the same thing when I saw Wendy's tues. template this week. Glad to see you used it!

Anyway, here's the moment we've all been waiting for ... The winners!

I plugged everyone's names into random.org in the order that they submitted their pages, and the winners are...

:toothorn:1.AmandaAnn
2.cassidyk:toothorn:

Congratulations, ladies! I will PM you with the code good for one template pack of your choice by Denise Beatty Originals!
