Weekly Challenge #84 (5/4-5/10)
 

Hello Everyone I'm a little early with my post as tomorrow will be a busy day at work so here we go!

I'm so excited to be hosting my first weekly challenge and I have a great PP for you! Since mine goes through Mother’s Day I thought the theme for this layout should be about YOU! We all do things for our friends and family that are special just like our Mom’s are special to us!

Since it’s all about YOU here are your directions.
1) I want to see at least 2 patterned papers on your page but you can have as many papers as you want.
2) You need to use at least 4 photos but you can use more. At least one of the photos must have a picture of YOU. The more pictures of you the better!
3) You need to place at least one round element or circle frame on your page.
4) Use an alpha for your Title.
5) Use at least one ribbon or string on your page but you can have more if you wish.
6) Place your favorite quote or journaling on your page.
7) Include anything else you want that might tell us about you and add your shadows, elements, date, etc before uploading to the gallery (Deadline 5/10 midnight your time zone)

As a reminder to get your PP; these are the guidelines for your layout.

1) LO should be Disney related.
2) It must be uploaded to the MouseScrappers Gallery in the Weekly Challenge category before the deadline.
3) Your layout must be posted in two (2) places: in the challenge thread (here) and in the appropriate forum thread, and please don´t forget to put this last link in your post here!
4) And you must leave some love for other pages in this challenge as everyone loves feedback.


Here is my layout… which is a little bit about ME, where I’m from, who I am, my favorite quote, and what’s important to me in life.
I'm a shutterfly fan, photographer, Disney nut, I'm on Natalie's Place Designs Creative Team,
I'm a MSgt in the Air National Guard, I'm a Recruiting and Retention Superintendent,
I'm a DVC member, A MouseScrappers member, Disney Cruise Line Fan,
and I have my very own blog and my family is my life. WOW! How about YOU?

Camera Hog!

"OK, I admit it. I love the camera. What can I say? I’m an actress and a photographer.... when someone else has the camera, it’s truly enchanting. You’ll find my mug all over the internet - it’s no surprise. Disney Photo Pass was *created* for me - I know it. I leave with hundreds of photos. It’s just my way...

What can I say?"

Circles in tags/paper, Alpha title, two ribbons, journaling, me in lots of photos... I think I did it!

Cynthia - love this challenge. I think that moms tend not to scrap about themselves especially since they are usually the ones behind the camera. Thank goodness for the Photopass. Lovin' the participation prize. Now to get the creative juices flowing for the layout.

Here´s my page. Thanks for the challenge Cynthia! Lotso is the only character I have a pic with nobody else, well Mulan too but doesn't counts cause my DS run out of the line to see where the Buddha was LOL. Well I love pink and plush, so that´s why I love Lotso too!
I hope I have everything else!!! Thanks for hosting and for the cute PP!!

So many of my favorite things packed into this layout. I think I'll frame it and put it in my office at work. :) This should tell you a little bit about me ... and my mouse addiction.

Cynthia, I loved this challenge because memories came flooding back once I decided I was going to do a "through the years" page. I was totally inspired by the other LO's showcasing photos through the years...so thanks ladies!

Here is mine...

uploading
 

Could you please tell me how to get my page small enough to upload to the gallery and to this thread? I'm using Digital Scrapbook Artist and can cage it as a bitmap, jpeg, photo, or png file, but none of them are small enough. This is my first try at a challenge anywhere so I'm really new at all of the how-tos of it all! Thanks!

I don't use your program but can you save it as a .jpg less then 160 kb. I have a save to web function and I reduce the page file size that way. Click on upload photo in the top right hand corner and then paste the Linked Image URL in this thread as well and forum thread it pertains to.

I hope that helps.

Challenge
 

Here is my LO. This was a lot harder to do than I thought it would be.... Who am I? I am a Mom. First and foremost. Family is always first. Our trip to WDW last year was our first REAL family vacation, so I scrapped my favorite group photos from that trip. I used agrievingmommy's Pooh kit: bumblebree.

I will also place this LO with the other Pooh LO's.

Smiles,

Stacy:D

I'm not sure if I'm posting this right. I hope it works as this is my first challenge I've ever done!
