Weekly Challenge #20 (2/3 to 2/9)
 

Shout out to Carol for reminding me about my week or we might otherwise not be here. LOL!

Hi all, I am Kat. This is my first Mousescrappers challenge so I really hope you like it! I wanted to do something a bit unique.

My challenge is Today in Disney History. I found this webpage
http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/ with Disney history on it. Who knows how accurate it actually is but it was so much fun to look through.

So here's what you do... pick a day between 2/3 and 2/9 and scroll through the history. Find something that you like and scrap it using a photo that links to your choice.

For example, I chose February 3, 1945, a blurb about the Three Caballeros. I remembered going on a ride at Epcot's Mexico that was a lot of fun. So as you can see, I used the blurb on my layout, with my pictures from that ride.

Easy? And guess what? Britt of Britt-ish Designs has offered TWO $5.00 off coupons to TWO LUCKY participants in this challenge!

Here's my layout!

I used all Britt-ish Designs work and had SO much fun scrapping this out of the box layout.

Cannot wait to see what you've got!! :scrapbooking:

great idea for a challenge, i think i have an idea.

Going to check out the site and get to thinking.

Great challenge! I'll have to start thinking! Fantastic LO, Kat! :)

Sounds like a fun (and thought provoking) challenge! I'll have to hunt around the site and see what I can come up with (that fits the photos I have left!) thanks for hosting! :)

Thanks for hosting Kat!

Feb 4 1999:
Pixar Animation Studios announces that it has developed a proprietary laser recording system called PIXARVISION for converting digital computer data into images on motion picture film stock with unprecedented quality. The new system was successfully tested on the 1998 animated hit, A Bug's Life.

Fun challenge! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

So I have my Lo ready but I can't seem to get how I upload it. I keep getting this message "Your graphic is too wide! Please upload a smaller one.". So I figured I had to reduce the quality of the image and so I did...It's not working yet...HEEEEELP!!!!

Hi Leonor,

The max dimension size is 600 x 600. I noticed that your last layout was 512 x 512, so if you upload the same size you should be okay.

There is also a limit to the size of the file. It needs to be less than 180kb. Your princess layout was only 65kb, so that would be fine, too. Whatever you did with your princess layout, do to this new layout, too. :)

Thanks for this fun & unique challenge Kat! Good thinkin'. I had some time tonight so I decided to scrap your challenge!

My moment in Disney History was a big one! On Feb. 8, 2001: Disney's second Anaheim park (and 8th theme park in the world), California Adventure, officially opens!

So, I scrapped pics from Sunshine Plaza (decorated as Candy Corn Acres for Halloween) when we first entered California Adventure.

"A Candy Corn California Adventure" (say that 5 times fast!)

So I think my real challenge was to figure out how to upload the LO to your gallery...Ended up uploading twice...Don't know how but the next challenge is to figure out how to take one og the images out...:crazy:

I had fun with this one, made it last night! Latter I'll post the credits (right now I'm at work and don't have that with me, don't tell!!!). And since the image is sooo big (I really don't understand what went down...) the journalling reads:

2004, Feb 7th:The DisneyPixar animated feature Finding Nemo earns nine Annie Awards at the 31st annual event.

2009: OMG I won’t trust my 6 year old god-daughter ever again!!!
We went to Disney World Paris together this year. She was already there when I flew to Paris. She was so excited when she saw me! She rode this “Crush’s Coaster” thingy and had so much fun that she wanted to ride again with me, except she had to go backwards this time and I would go too. So I figured, “How bad can this be if a 6 year old had so much fun???”.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!!! It was horrible! I felt like I was going to faint through the entire ride...Ridiculous...She even mocked me when we got out...Embarrassing right?

Leonor - oh my goodness, your journaling is tooo funny! I like how you included the day in disney history info on your page too, and the way you separated them with the dates! Great job!

Gillscott - fantastic! The regal rich snow white colors really make this stand out. I love all of your details and your pics are great!

I didn't journal at all, but this will go in my D23 expo album.

I used this little tid bit:
1992:
Disney's Beauty and the Beast is nominated for 6 Academy Awards. Among the
nominations is one for Best Picture. It is the first time in the history of the Motion Picture Academy that an animated feature is nominated in this category.

Great challenge! :hooray:

Here's mine. Thanks for a fun challenge, Kat! :)

Very cool page and interesting to see the changes and similarities in 20 years!!

I have a weekend crop so I shouldn't have any excuses for getting this one done! Kat, thanks for putting this together - now if I can stop reading the info and the site and pick something...:surf:

...and Scrooge McDuck is still Treasurer!! :yes:

OMG this is so recognizable! :D
That thing really makes me sick! The first time I went in it, I didn't know that it would rotate. So I took place in it and while I was looking for something in my bag, it took off like crazy! I almost lost my christmas hat during he ride and didn't see anything because I had my eyes closed... :blush: I'm such a wimp!

Anyway, back to the challenge: how original! :thumbsup: I'm going through my pics right now.

Cool idea! I so totally wimped out on last week's challenge (sorry, Heather!) so I gotta do it this week!!!!!

Seriously! That ride is crazy! At the beginning it wasn't so bad so I was just screaming and all that. When it started spinning...suddenly I couldn't scream anymore! I closed my eyes and just thought I was going to die. My insides seemed to be all over the place and upside down. I can't explain! I tell you though, it not for the faint hearted!
You're definitely not a wimp! I'm with you!!! :yes:

here's mine, I went with Feb3rd 2005 It is announced that Rotten Tomatoes, the online source for gauging the critical reaction for movies, has given The Incredibles its Golden Tomato Award for 2004 in the Wide Release category. (The Golden Tomato Award is handed out annually by Rotten Tomatoes in recognition of the year's best-reviewed films.)

I went retro:

Forgot to mention in the credits that the movie poster is copyright by Disney.

i love that page, the background photo is fab!

Thank you for the great challenge :hooray: - I had a lot of fun looking through the web site. I finally settled on the Release of Peter Pan on Feb 5, 1953, in New York (Ironically where I am from). The blurb led off with the quote "Second Star to the Right and Straight on till Morning" it got me thinking of this idea. Creating this page was very challenging, I could not get the cloud frame just right, but I think I finally succeeded. I also had a lot of fun trying to create London and the children flying off to Neverland. Thank you so much I am not sure I would have come up with this idea without the challenge. :thanks:

the journaling reads:
Peter was so happy to see his best friend Tink he gave her a big hug and reminded her not to get into too much trouble. Wendy asked her if she could go check on her brothers in the nursery. Unfortunately Tink’s mood is always subject to change without notice, so she decided to Pixie Pout for the picture. Mommy was thrilled to be with Aunt Wendy’s namesake, she could not stop smiling.

California Adventure opened February 8, 2001. Here's a LO from our trip in 2005.

Based on the several releases of Pinocchio.

Pixar Place
 

Thanks for hosting a fun challenge!

On February 4, 1999, Pixar announced they had developed Pixarvision. I worked that in with a few other notable milestones about the Pixar/Disney relationship. I love Pixar films! I really think Pixar was one of the best things to happen to Disney in the last ten years. They really infused some new life and new characters. I love the new Pixar Place section in DHS. TSM is incredible and the details in the entire area are too fun!

I picked my birthday, April 30 and in 1989: The Magical World of Disney airs the TV special "The Disney-MGM Studios Theme Park Grand Opening" the night before the park's actual grand debut. The program features such TV stars as Harry Anderson, Stefanie Powers, Kate Jackson, Rue McClanahan, Ann Miller, Tony Randall and Hollywood legend George Burns. The show opens with a big musical number starring singer Smokey Robinson, as he and numerous dancers make their way down Hollywood Boulevard. The ending dance number "Horray for Hollywood" will win an Emmy for Best Choreagraphy!

So I scrapped my first visit to MGM Studios.

Great challenge! :)

Loved this challenge!! Thanks so much!

My inspiration came from Feb 5, 1953 when Peter Pan opened at the Roxy Theatre in New York City. Perfect for these fun photos I captured!

Lots of wonderful layouts by everyone! Mine is from 2/5/92 when Beauty and the Beast was nominated for 6 Academy Awards. I love that these challenges are inspiring me to work on my Dec '09 trip.

My date inspiration was:
1966:
Disney's animated short Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree
is released along with the live-action feature The Ugly Dachshund. Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree is Disney's first animated treatment of the famous children's books written by A.A. Milne.

Feb 8 2002: Disney World's Downtown Pleasure Island begins its Mardi Gras celebration

Thanks for the fun challenge and a chance at the great prize! :sorcerer:

Great twist on the weekly challenge! Really fun. Here's my inspiration:

February 7, 2004: The Disney/Pixar animated feature Finding Nemo earns an amazing nine Annie Awards at the 31st annual event, held at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California.

Also on a personal note, I remember in 2004 when I was in pharmacy school, I used to put the Nemo movie on for my son (who was a toddler at the time) to watch while I studied. So I guess you can say Nemo has a special place in my heart! (and all the movie lines are etched in my brain!);)

My third digital page. This time I was learning how to use a template, and challenging myself to use some different colors. Journaling reads: Feb 3rd, 1925. Actor John Fielder who voiced piglet is born. " In the '60s Disney was looking for a piglet. Walt was watching TV with his wife. I came on some show and he shut his eyes and said "that's piglet."" - John Fielder. August 16, 2007 - From the look of this conversation I seem to be having with Piglet, Walt made a great choice!

Ugh, I just realized I made several typos on the page.

my fun fact is from Feb. 4th, 1938 when SnowWhite and the Seven Dwards was released to US theatres for the first time.

Thanks for a fun challenge! :)

I loved this challenge. It was so fun looking through all those tidbits of Disney history.

I went with "Disneyland Resort’s It’s a Small World re-opens with a brand-new "Spirit of America" scene and 29 newly added Disney-Pixar characters." from February 6, 2009.

Thanks for a great challenge. It was cool to see all that history and now I know where to go for future info! Here's my layout of Epcot:

I also was inspired by Beauty and Beast....2/5/1992 when Beauty and the Beast was nominated for 6 Academy Awards.
