I create all of the papers and elements that I use in my layouts. I'm not saying that to brag; I just don't want anyone to think that I am using someone else's work without giving credit. I have never felt it necessary to list credits on my layouts since I'm the creator of everything on them.
I hope to host some challenges in the future and plan to use some of the extractions I have done (including these) as prizes.

Wow, great job! Must have been a lot of work! Would love to participate in your challenge! Happy New Year to you and all!

Thanks for this challenge. I've never done a circle like this before. It took me a while. I wonder if there's an easier way. Any tips?
It ended up being great for this picture, because the tree was so tall it's actually two pictures. Breaking it up was perfect!

I was told that sometimes I forget to breathe when I am awake...yep...That's me alright! (and I paid him HOW MUCH to tell me that?)

I will be back shortly with a PP.

I have a REALLY hard time with circles. I don't like photos in circle shapes or paper mats that are circles. I forced myself into doing this layout and to tell the truth, I didn't like it at first. Someone had to point out that it looked like a quilt and then it just clicked for me.

I picked my own layout since I forgot about this and I don't have time right this moment to lift another one! Maybe I will lift my own layout ... hmmmm

I used Keystone Scraps kit called "Remember the Magic".

Basic rules of this challenge:
1) Your LO must be Disney related (or nearby park)
2) Upload your LO to the new Scraplift Challenge Gallery and post it in this thread.
3) Post your LO in the appropriate thread in the forums and put that link in your post here also
4) Be sure to leave love for your fellow scrappers. It's always great to see messages when we click gallery!

I cannot find this at Shabby princess.... love it Thanks Bev

I'm undecided if I am done with this layout or if I'm happy with it yet. I loved the inspiration of the quilt right away and I immediately knew I wanted to do a princess quilt. This is the first time that I tried to pull together elements from many kits and did lots of recoloring of elements. I kind of took some liberties with the color of Ariel's dress as in my photo it came out very pale blue, which I know it was not. Please let me know what you think and if there is any way to improve my page.

Sparklehal, I'm sorry I don't know your real name. This was a really fun challenge and I felt inspired right away as soon as I saw your layout. Thank you so much! I'm leaving love for others in the gallery.

Thank you! I am not familiar with the tools in PSE9 as I use CS4, but I use the pen tool almost exclusively for extracting. It is a bit intimidating (and confusing) at first, but I have become quite good with it. If you have it on your version try it out but don't get discouraged too soon! There are lots of good tutorials for the pen tool on the web.
