DIS Digi Scrapping Challenge #55

[Photobee]

Hello! Dawn here again (Aussiegirl at some scrapping sites) to bring you our next challenge!

For this challenge, I want to see your Souven"ears"! Somewhere in your journaling or title I want you to use the word Souven"ear". Be creative and have fun! :)

One winner will get Oh-Da-da-Dear collab kit by Melissa Daniel and Neverland Scraps! One to Two 2nd place layouts will get Oh-Da-da-Dear Brag Book pages.

This challenge will run until midnight on May 3rd! These layouts don't necessarily have to be about you buying an item. They can be shopping in general for Disney items, they can be about a specific Disney purchase, they can be about a store or shopping area, they can be about an item you WISHED you'd bought. As long as they use the word souven"ear" somewhere on your layout, it will work for this challenge! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

[Photobee]

Here is my layout to give you an idea! (the journaling talks about going to Downtown Disney and the World of Disney store, while my MIL went to Rainforest Cafe to pick up some food for our family get together. The 2nd oldest child was able to pick out her souven"ears" while at the World of Disney store.

Ooh - I gotta think about this one!

[kswm30b]

I've been working on my Downtown Disney LOs recently, and I finished everything except Downtown Disney in general. Now I know why. :)

[wenrob]

Oooh, been wanting to do a page about DD collecting pins. Will see what I can come up with.

[Mom2JPL]

Here's my try at this! I hope it's ok. Thanks again for another great challenge!

Journaling: Matt & Kelli wanted to get Janet a birthday present, so we went to World of Disney and found this awesome hat. She still prances around wearing her favorite "souven"ear!

I had seen a few pages you'd done lately, and hoped you'd left some photos that still needed to be scrapped! Glad you did! :)

[Photobee]

Mom2JPL- That's a beautiful layout! I love the colors and the circle frame! Wonderful job! You were super quick with this one! :) Love it!

[stenogoddess]

Great idea. I'll have to put some thought into this one.

[JuneBugFL]

This one stumped me a bit because I don't usually take photos in the stores. Two of the pics are mine (ariel and kermit glasses) and the rest I googled.

Journaling says: I’ve taken 3 trips to the World since the Celebrate Today promotion was announced. Every trip so far I’ve been planning what souven”ears” I’m going to buy with my Birthday Fun Card!

[Photobee]

JuneBugFL- love all the circles and the list of souven"ears" you want to get! We bought Mr. Potato Head on our trip- it's such a fun spin on the toy! :) Love the word art too! Thanks for playing!

[albumlady]

Fun Challenge! I have a bunch more souven"ear" pictures to go so this was great. Click the image for credits:

albumlady-left you love at SM, but I'll leave you some here too! I love the blocking and the colors you chose! Love the 2 alphas for the title- very creative! Cute picture and story, what a great Aunt! :)

Here's the ears!

Journaling:
Your first Mickey Souven"ears"
You don’t really care to wear hats, but we were not leaving Disney World without getting you your first pair of Mickey ears. You chose pink, of course.

Thank you both for playing along! :)

We gave our kids a souvenir allowance this past trip to WDW in an attempt to save money and teach them a little about it.

I'm still thinking on what to do! I gotta get moving ...

[Photobee]

Terri24601- Wonderful journaling! What a great lesson to learn! Love all the glitter and the cute pictures!

ngneer98- Left you love at SM, congratulations on Gallery Standouts! Great layering! Love all the bright colors again the white background!

mumloveseeyore- Love the glitter! Love the tag on the string too! Looks like a fun Dream!

There's still some time left to get in your layouts! I'm not sure if my husband or one of my daughters will pick the winners this time! Can't wait to see what the rest of you come up with! These have been wonderful!

[shishigirl]

The pages uploaded are so good!! Does anyone know if you can buy the mousekepapers and mouse sprinkles in brittish designs store at scrapmatters? They are SOOO cute!!

[Yzerbear19]

I had finished this one right before we left for the weekend and tweaked the journaling a bit from the first version. My "souven'ear'" is in the journaling! ;)

Thanks for the fun challenge! :)

I don't think anything with MM ears in it will be in her store. But, you should visit her blog...I think she has freebies on it with some of these. Britt, that's right, isn't it?

[RRBB]

Arrgggg!!! Photoshop keeps blipping out on me. I must have done my page 3 or 4 times now but before I get to a point of saving PS shuts down and I lose everything. I know, I know. I should be saving more often. But I keep forgetting until it's too late. Now I'm not sure I'm going to make it by tonight. :sad2: Computes are such a pain. (I'm having problems with both PSCS3 on my laptop - keeps exiting out of program AND PSCS4 on my desktop - get errors when try to open PNG files. It's enough to make me go back to paper scrapping and toss the computers out the window!)

[tinkandhook]

sorry to hijack this thread but was curious what res do you guys save in to make them as big as you do but stillbe able to post them to like scrapmatters? when i posted a few of mine to 3scrapateers. when i got them to be the size allowwed, they were small. Im saving them at 72 dpi. do i need to compress them more when i save it???
thanks guys!

[Pooh46]

Here's mine finally. I haven't gotten my scrappin' mojo back since I got home. I hope this souven"ear" counts. My husband was a BIG Millionaire fan when it was at MGM. He'd play it 2 or 3 times a day and actually won the million once and we got a Disney cruise as the prize. Not bad! He really misses that attraction so I was able to get him one of the real hot button key pads that was used in the attraction as a souven"ear". It sits on a shelf in his den.

The Mickey Sprinkles was an element that we had to use in one of the challenges here. I think the link may still be active on this thread.

I really don't remember how we got the Mouskapapers. Maybe someone else will.

I save mine at 72dpi, 600x600 and less than 156k (SM requirement).

I scrap with PSE 5.0, and my original layout is 12"x12", which is 3600 pixels x 3600 pixels. I ALWAYS create my layouts at 300 dpi, otherwise they get grainy. When I save for posting to the web somewhere, I save it as a .jpg and save it at 600x600, on the "high" resolution setting, and that usually gets the filesize under 150k (which is what the limit usually is for posting a LO).

HTH!

They were a participation prize for the DIS challenge I ran back in October.

[quiltymom]

I don't think that I'm going to have the time to make a LO for this challenge, the first I've missed in ages! But we'll see - there's still a speed scrap tonight, if I can make it.

[susan0326]

Removed.

[RRBB]

Whew, I finally managed to get this layout done.

Thanks for hosting! This one wasn't easy for me since DH hardly lets us in a store while we're in the parks. I only got these because we go there the night before we play!

[janette]

Just making the deadline on this one, I couldn't think of an idea or pictures but my 17yo DD thought pictures of our puppies would work but they waited until today to take the pictures. It worked out since Scrapmatters New template was perfect for them.

Congrats to the other winners and thanks for the great prize!

You're forgiven. Like I"ve never forgotten to do anything before. :laughing:

We're just addicted to these things, and neurotic when we don't get our challenges!!!

[Janis]

Oops, I missed this one. :sad1:

Congrats to the winners! Glad I didn't have to choose, everyone's layouts were great!

[Fran98765]

congrats to all the winners!! That kit is fantastic, I've used it twice, and you will get good mileage out of it too!
