Weekly Challenge #46 - 8/4/10-8/10/10
 

Weekly Challenge #46 8/4/10-8/10/10

Today is the start of another weekly challenge (my FIRST!!) and happens to be my DH’s 17th birthday :bday: so in honor of his birthday I have created the rules of this challenge around some of his favorite Disney things. I asked him to name 2 favorites from each park and then 2 other things – rules are below. Be creative! Then post it to the gallery, link it in the forums and here to claim your prize.

Disney Favorites:
1. Magic Kingdom:
Pirates of the Caribbean: They are on the search for treasure so add some bling (gems, glitter, pixie dust).
Main Street USA: Alex loves the detailing of the architecture here so use lots of details in your layout (this could be the details of your “story” i.e. the journaling or adding embellishments).
2. Epcot:
Innovations and Test Track: He loves engineering and inventions. I thought about metal when I thought of these areas so add something metallic (but more than a staple).
3. Hollywood Studios:
Rock-n-Roller Coaster and Toy Story Mania: Bright, bold color – especially red
4. Animal Kingdom:
Expedition Everest and Kilimanjaro Safari: Here it is your choice – nature and animals take the forefront in KS and the Yeti and the mountain take the forefront in EE. You may include some type of natural element or animal and/or make a character/animal a focal point on your page (those included in photos also count).
5. Other Disney things:
Typhoon Lagoon and Disney Cruises – my boy loves the water so add something that brings the feel of water – curved edges or cut-outs, actual water elements (waves, splashes, rain, water drops) or a “wet” shine added to an element or alpha.

Remember to post it to the gallery and choose WEEKLY CHALLENGES, post it in the appropriate forum (and link back to the gallery) and post your LO here (and link back to the gallery) to claim your prize. It is very helpful if you include the forum that you posted to.

I happen to have an out-of-town event this weekend and (:eek:GASP!!) no internet service, so I will leave comments here before I leave and will then catch up on Monday. I’ll send out the link for the pp as soon I check that you’ve fulfilled all the requirements of the challenge as all weekly hosts are asked to do. I and my DS can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!!:thumbsup:

I´ll give it a try! and happy birthday to your DS! :party:

BTW - You do not have to list how you met the requirements like I did. Just did that to help people out. If I can't find something I'll PM you:).

So many different themes to try to get into one page...I LOVE IT!!! Outside the box, Here I come!

Omigosh! I love the PP prize and I love this challenge. I think I already have my plan made - I'm totally planning on scraplifting something but I think it'll look awesome! I guess we'll see.... :D

awesome - AwEsOmE - AWESOME!!!! thanx

I am in! Love the price!:woohoo:

Fun challenge! super cute PP, can't wait to do a page!

this will be a challenge!! I can't wait to start!

This is one of my fave PPs EVER! I'm not gonna miss out! Off to scrap!

Monica: As soon as I saw your LO I knew what pics I should scrap, but I´m not so happy with my LO, maybe I´ll give it a twist later. At least think I got everything (the glitter is in the paint strokes). And I used everything from Britt´s SS PP, even the title!:D

You got it all Roxana! :hooray: Congrats on being the first to post a layout! I really love it! I love the line in the journaling "This one moment will be in my heart forever." I know how you feel when there's something you aren't quite satisfied with on a LO, but for me they are some of the LOs that get the best comments!

:thanks: for playing! I'll probably be sending the first batch of prizes on Friday before we leave or Sunday when we get back.

roxana you are a crazy girl today because I seriously LOVE that layout. So much I put it in my favorites and in layouts of the week. Seriously I think it is PERFECT!

Thanks Andrea! I´m still staring at my page... and I don´t know yet, maybe a I´m just crazy :crazy2:(too much scrapping:D), and into layouts of the week, well that´s way much more than I expected :blush:
:thanks::thanks::thanks:

Roxana - Stop starting at it - it's perfect just the way it is!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!! I might need to scraplift it! :hooray:

Didn't I tell you Roxana;).

2. a little METAL (but more than a staple) (wire loops)

Love the colors you used for this. It is so interesting to see how everyone interprets the challenge. Using the circle to accent the smaller photo was a nice touch! Thanks for playing!

I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge! The black background really helps your bright colors pop. Love the water drop paper too. Thanks for playing!

That's okay about the water drops! I really got the effect of waves coming in to shore from the layering of the circle element and circle word art.:). Love the little Earth tucked in with the flowers. Nice way to play on "Small World":thumbsup:. Thanks for playing.

You got it all!!! I love the larger photo on the left. The detailing of this ride is amazing - I love the queue as well! And since snow is frozen water, you had the water right from the start.:D I am sooooo going to scraplift this for some of my landscape/attraction photos! Thanks for playing!

Ladies - the pp should be in your pm. Please let me know if you didn't get it. I gave everyone an individual response, so see above if you haven't read yours yet. As (hopefully) more layouts come in, please leave love if you have time! And again :thanks: for playing!

Hi all! Back from our trip so you should see the pp in your pm soon.
Sorry you aren't getting individual responses like I did before but my aunt is coming for dinner and I didn't want you to wait:).

Agrievingmommy – love the use of red and black – the light wave with the pixie dust is very cool:cool:

Gillscott – great colors:thumbsup:! Love your layering.

r0binb – I love the paper blocks and the colors you used. Perfect for a day on Castaway Cay! :idea:You should turn this layout into a template for a template challenge!!

Chef Minnie Mouse – Awesome glittery Mickey head! The circles are great! This is another one I’d love to see as a template:D.

ana carol - Great colors– so bright and cheery. The bubbles definitely work:thumbsup: as your water element. I love all of Donald’s outfits.

Goofys girl – great RnRC page (glad you really got into the ride with the fist pump:hooray:)! Love the music paper and how your title (:cool:cool alpha BTW) follows the staff.


:thanks::thanks:To all for participating in my challenge. My DS has really enjoyed seeing all the different LOs. Don't forget to spread some love!

Just a reminder:

If you still want to get the awesome prize from Liz you need to complete your layout by Tuesday night. As you can see from the fabulous layouts posted so far, there are many ways to meet the requirements! So as they say in the infomercials "Hurry! This is a limited time offer!":D
