Scraplift Challenge #45 (Dec 18, 2011 - Jan 1, 2012

Hello everyone! Sorry to be starting this challenge late...My only excuse...I didn't set reminders.

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!

Love it! And thank you for pointing me to the template--I've downloaded freebies there before, but somehow missed the templates.

Is it ok to use a different template if we are still scrap lifting? Is it ok to use templates for other challenges? I'm getting an idea of what I'd like to do.

Whatever you want to do is fine. You take whatever you want as inspiration from the layout and make your own. Could only be a color if you wish. The good thing about this challenge is you can make it whatever you imagine.

You can use a template if you wish and you do not have to use the one I used. Can't wait to see your idea!

It does look like a quilt! Great page. I really like that kit too. It is a must have.

When I first got this kit I wasn't sure about the aqua color...but...I then realized it went PERFECTLY with the suit my daughter wore her very first day ever in Disney World. I was in love with it after that. The elements in it are wonderful. For some reason I am in love the the can tab. ??? Go figure!

Thanks for hosting this challenge! I do have problems with circles as well!

But since it's the part you see at first when looking at your lo, that's where I got the inspiration... Wasn't sure about how to do that, but this morning I thought about the template I once made out of a freebie I got years ago. So here is the result!

I was inspired by the circles.
Thanks for a fun challenge!

I've had several people inquire about the Chef Mickey silhouettes that I have used in all of my Chef Mickey layouts...I actually created them myself. I scanned and extracted them off of the folder that our Chef Mickey photo came in.
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.

Thank you so much for answering our question

Wow... you are extremely talented!!! I, for one, can't wait for you to host your first challenge because I know whatever you make for a pp prize will be amazing!! Have a great day.
