Weekly Challenge #86 (May 18-May 24)

It is time for another Weekly Challenge!

For this week's challenge, you need to jazz up your journaling. By that I mean add word art, word strips, flair, stickers, stamps..you name it.... as part of the 'words' in your journaling. You could also make certain words a bigger font and clip papers to them, use an alpha on some words...anything to make your journaling more interesting and eye catching.

You must have at least 4 lines of journaling that include 3 'items' in place of the words or normal font you are using for the rest of your journaling.

Here is a page I did recently where I used word art strips and a fun paper clipped to my font like an alpha to make the journaling more interesting.

Here is a page by andrea4375 that also uses this technique:

So to recap the rules:

1) Your page must have at least 4 lines of journaling.
2) You must use alphas, flair, wordart etc. for at least 3 words or phrases in your journaling to make it more interesting and eye catching.
3) LO should be Disney related.
4) It must be uploaded to the MouseScrappers Gallery in the Weekly Challenge category before the deadline.
5) 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!
6) And you need to leave some love for a few other pages in this challenge as everyone loves feedback.
7)Please don't use a quick page to fulfill the challenges -that really isn't fair to everyone who created their own page to receive the prize, and makes light of the prize providers work.

We all need to get out of our journaling ruts and I really want you all to try this challenge if you can. I know everyone is super busy with the speed scraps and birthday activities so as an added bonus, I will allow you to combine this challenge with ONE speed scrap or birthday activity, as long as you can meet all of the requirements for this challenge AND for the speed scrap or birthday game page you are doing. This is a one time only deal, so don't expect it to happen again! :thumbsup:

If you do combine this with another birthday activity, please let us know and also post a link to that thread as well so I can be sure you met both requirements.

For participating in my challenge you will receive this date set that includes 2 different fonts and 4 colors for you to mix and match to your heart's content!

I forgot to add the bows I made to go on the mouse ear dates to this pack and to the preview, so you can grab those on my blog as a freebie.

I just wanted to make sure of something. You don't want us to use a quick page (totally understandable), but is it okay to use a template?

You can absolutely use a template! I'm not sure I know how to scrap without using a template anymore :D

Per your OK, I actually created this LO for Speed Scrap #61. Since I had to create 5 lines of journaling for that challenge I thought, "Why not" and here is the link to my posting in that thread:

Christmas Surprise!

Thanks for the opportunity to double dip as well as a great challenge. I love the idea of journaling this way, but usually get lazy and don't take the time. I will have to force myself to do this more often. Thanks for the awesome PP as well! :yeah:

Here's my take on the challenge. I used the layout for both Weekly Challenge 86 and Speed Scrap 61. (Hope I followed all the rules!) :thanks: for letting us double dip! My layout is posted in the Speed Scrap 61 gallery. I didn't know if I should post in both galleries...
