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 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.

My Layout:

Squeeking in - thanks for a great challenge and a wonderful PP!

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!

You got it all Roxana! 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!

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