Weekly Challenge #12 (12/2-12/8)
 

Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901.



If he were alive today he’d be celebrating his 108th birthday this week. My original idea was to have you use a combination of 108 papers and elements on your layout, but that seemed a little excessive. So instead these are the rules:

1. Use exactly 12 elements, 5 papers, and 1 photo (12/5/01)
2. Add a quote from Walt Disney
3. In addition to the quote from Walt, your layout must be Disney related in some other way too
4. You have until midnight Disneyland time (PST) to post your layout for this challenge

HAVE FUN and HAPPY BIRTHDAY WALT!

Some of the many places to find Walt Disney quotes:

hmm.. the photo comes to mind but i'll have to think about the rest, i'll be back!

:lol2: Well, maybe just a little

Thanks so much for hosting! I love that everyone must include a little bit of Walt in this one. :thumbsup:

I have my quote and my photo ... but all those elements are giving me a fit!

I agree...it is HARD to use 12 elements! But I will keep trying.....

That's why it's called a challenge. :yes: Just be glad my DH didn't influence the rules. He suggested adding one font & one alpha (for one man/one mouse) but I thought that was really too much to deal with.

And for clarification, it's a total of 12 elements not 12 different kinds of elements. So in my layout, I have staples in each corner of the photo and each count toward the total number of elements.

Okay...I have twelve elements...and after I got started I wanted to add more than twelve (I counted each mickey brad as one element even though they were originally three brads, but I "welded" them to make each one one).

Love the use of a quote. I need to try to get this one done.

What a fun challenge! As soon as I found the quote I thought of the perfect picture - it might not scream Disney at first sight, but it was taken in Cosmic Ray's in Tomorrowland and basically fits our excitement at being in MK (plus there's a hidden Mickey in my sister's earrings). The twelve elements - 6 flowers, 2 ribbons, 2 stitches, 1 glitter, 1 sparkly gem (on the pink flower - it came separate!). Thanks for not doing 108 pieces - I think my photoshop would have rebelled ;)

I am super excited about this challenge, now I just have to make time to get a page done!

Did I mention there's a participation prize? Go back to the first post to see it.

lynett_rock, what a great picture. I love all the Mickey heads, especially the stitched one under your quote.

Hpgirl, that's a perfect quote. I love the happy colors you used to go along with your happy photo and quote.

Wow, Robin... that is AWESOME!! :sorcerer: Did you design it? Thanks so much for offering this to the participants! :hooray:

What fun LOs and Lynett_rock...I LOVE your picture!!! In all the times I've been to Disneyland and Disneyworld I've never had such a gorgeous photo. I'm keeping that one in mind for our next trip!

Hope to be back with a layout too! =) Things are rather hectic and busy now with Christmas coming!

Wow! Another fantastic PP! Thanks for hosting this week, Robin. I am on my way to College Station today to spend the weekend with Aubrey, so I will be sure to get this one done before the deadline. It might be right at the deadline, but I'm really gonna try!

Great layouts so far everyone! I love all the quotes. Thanks for the links, Robin. That really helps.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks to gillscott - I loved your idea of putting this photo and quote together. I have been trying to decide what to do with this picture for a while.

I'm so impressed with all the wonderful layouts y'all are coming up with.
(And just a reminder because I've noticed some of you have done it, hotlinking is not allowed. Go to this thread => No More Hotlinking! <= to read all about it.)

gillscott, great choice for the quote. It works so well with your photo. And the red accents work so well to compliment your photo.

karrieskreations, I love the clear bracket frame you used to showcase DiVine. Great choice of elements to complement her, too.

calliclaire, you have such a cute little princess. I love all the sparkley elements and bright papers you used. You're layout really does scream "Happy".

amandalinz, I love your color choices for this photo. Spaceship earth really pops off the page. I must find that kit!

fonnetta, wow such a sweet moment between princesses. I love all the princessy elements.

zippyoh, what a great family photo in front of the castle. Maybe when my kids are older I'll actually be able to get a nice family shot, too. I love the quote you used, as well as the little Mickey touches.

Carolc, I love your journaling. I mean I really love it, the way your expressing your thoughts about what happened in the spot the photo was taken rather than about the actual photo. I need to do that more often.

CCIntrigue, I love the rope frame you used. It really makes you feel like I'm peeking through the trees at the building.

scrappycath, I love the way you have the photo/frame hanging. Great color combination to compliment your photo.

missi me, great use of Mickey. I don't think anyone could ever forget "it was all started by a mouse" when they see your great layout.

TanyaH666, I love the way you have all your papers and elements layered behind your photo.

Pooh46, cool photo. Love the quote you chose to go along with it.

stormer, love the embossed Mickey paper and the sparkley brackets around your quote.

Just to make sure I'm doing things correctly, we need to host our images at an image hosting site like Photobucket, but we can then link our posted image to a gallery for credits, etc. Correct? If you right click on the image and choose properties, you'll be able to see where the image location is. Just hope I've been doing it right. :)

Oops - just realized I had forgotten to put it in the appropriate thread! I did so now! :)
