Weekly Challenge #11 (11/25-12/1)
 

Hi everyone!

My name is Kayla and I am so excited to be hosting my first challenge here at MouseScrappers! :yeah:

(You may have seen me around at Scrapmatters under the name ScrappyKay26. On all the Disney boards I go by KaylaLovesMinnie.)

This has been a hectic week for me already. My 21st birthday is on Thanksgiving (:sorcerer:)..that only happens every 7 years or something..haha. In more sad news, we had a serious family emergency that may not go away for awhile. Please be patient with my response time! :) However, I will be around frequently checking in since I also go to college online.

Now for the challenge instructions!!!!

• Must be Disney related
• Journal atleast 4 sentences (because I love to read your Disney stories!!)
• 2 or more papers must be used somehow in your layout
• 1 hint of glitter (or use a few staples if you don't have or like glitter)
• 2 photos
• 3 ribbons or string pieces

*NOTE: I'd like to welcome all scrappers to this challenge, digital or traditional! :scrapbooking:

Karrie - I want to read your journaling, but I can't quite make it out. Can you either make your image larger (e.g. 600 x 600) or paste your journaling below your photo? :)

Thanks!

Great challenge, Kayla, and a fantastic PP! Have a super Happy Birthday and a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow! :)

Yes, much better... I can read it now. :) What a great story! How lucky you both must be... what a wonderful birthday present for you both!

Gwen, I love the colors, papers and the scattered Mickey's are just perfect. The only thing I can think of that might help is to make some of your elements smaller. The clips are a bit out of proportion and take attention away from the photos.

Here's mine. I'm loving these challenges it is getting my Disney album done.
Thank you!

Journaling Reads:
Being at Disneyland during the first days of the 50th anniversary was very
special. It was Tayler and Madison's first time at Disneyland and we wanted
to make sure they would always remember it. We decided the last day at
Disneyland would be the day we would have breakfast with the princesses.
We stayed until we met EVERY princess and even got to meet Aladdin and
Beast! It was such a perfect ending to a magical vacation.

Here's mine. Thanks for the challenge Kayla. :)

Britt-First of all, I am so honored that you decided to join my challenge! :) Thx also for the help a few weeks ago with advice on the prize!! As always, I'm completely in love with your LO. I especially love the glitter Mickey head! Sooo cute! Also, I love the colors you chose. Very nice!

CCIntrigue-I love the story in your journaling! Great sensory details :) I also love how you added some "hidden Mickey's" into the backround. Thanks so much for participating! Wonderful LO!

Ljonezy-Wow, what an eye catching layout! I love the title work! Very nice job! Thanks for participating! :)

missi_me-Thanks so much for participating! I love your photos! How cute! I am a huge fan of going to character dining at Disneyland (I'm assuming these are from WDW?). I really like the way you placed your photos and journaling! Great job!

Ruthieroo-What a fun page! I have seen those guys at Disneyland. They are so fun to watch! Your layout is very pleasing to the eye and I am so glad you joined us! Thank you!

Thanks for a great challenge - it was nice to have something fun to do after turkey :)

Journaling: Tony’s is one of our favorite restaurants. We always try to sneak in a lunch. Somehow we always get stuck in the sunroom. This time we managed to convince Mommy and Daddy to try the spaghetti trick from Lady and the Tramp. Luckily we had a camera on hand to catch the moment.

Journaling: Watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade live and in person is something everyone should do at least once if they get the chance. We got there really early and got a great spot to view the parade. The new Sailor Mickey balloon was so cool! The balloons look big on TV but in person it is almost hard to believe how big they are!

I love reading everyone's stories! Great idea, Kayla!

challenge
 

love this challenge...it was so easy. This is disney related because we took this pictures at star wars weekends at hollywood studio. Since I had a hard time with the kit for these pictures, I simply used a dingbat font to create my own overlay to add the star wars touches that I need. The papers are just simply solids that I have had forever (so I don't remember where I got them, I might have made them also). The ribbons were a freebie from the creative memories website.

Kayla,

Thanks for hosting this week. A belated Happy Birthday to you, and I hope that things are going well with your family.

I'll be slowly working on a LO - but I've also had a lot of fun seeing what everyone has done so far! And I agree with you - reading about other's trips is lots of fun.
