Digital Scrapbooking Challenge week 17 !

[sleepingbean]

Okay, I am crazy to volunteer this week, as I'm swamped, but I love these challenges!!!
So, here is my challenge to you

another template challenge!
This one has a cloud theme background in bright blue and in black/grey
so, the rules:
use the cloud paper somehow (feel free to change it however you'd like)
use three boxes, but they don't have to be all for pics or text, do what you like with them!
have it be disneyworld related!
HAVE FUN

You can change any and everything to your liking! I have two samples of ones I made with this general homemade template, and I'll make a new fresh one later this week

Here is the template in psd format with layers. If you have trouble with downloading this template, you can just download the cloud papers and make the rest up as you go! I think we can all place rectangles

as for prizes, I am sure I can think of something, but I don't know what just yet....maybe I can make some stickers of text or characters of your choosing? We'll think of something!!!

Yippee!! An easy challenge! That's what I need this week. I can handle this one!! THANKS!! I'm so glad we got this going, I was afraid that we'd miss a week of challenges! Even if I don't do a layout, I follow the threads religiously!

Sign me up!

I thing that this challenge stuff has created a new monster in me!

Okay - I use SBC+ and I cannot upload the cloud papers since it's a .PSD file. Can anyone help me? Or should I ask this question over on the SBC+ thread?

Thanks!!!!!

 

[sleepingbean]

You can just download the cloud papers jpgs (see links in the first post). The first link is a zip of a psd file, but the next two are jpgs

Oh ...

Maybe in my next life I'll be able to read instructions better!

Thank you sleepingbean! I'm sure we all have something that can be scrapped with beautiful skies behind it! I think I'm going to zoom in on the paper to make the clouds bigger and fluffier...if that makes sense!

Thanks for hosting SleepingBean.... You totally inspired me. I think I am going to use this for the first page in my StoryBook.... I used your great cloud paper to fill my alpha.

Disney Cruiser, my jaw just dropped! That is so cool! (I wanna CRUISE!) Now I had no idea Disney had cloud control! I just love it! Great idea to use the cloud effect for a letter fill!
I don't think I would have thought of that!

DisneyCruiser, WOW! That is just beautiful. I love the vivid blue, the shapes in the clouds and your pics. Great job!

Oh -- the goofy cloud took me HOURS to make.... It's a very specialized digi scrapping technique that I couldn't even begin to explain in a post.... LOL!! Just kidding --- I bought the whole photo (cloud included) when I was on our cruise.... I have a release for the photo, so I think it would be OK for me to pass it along to you, if you want to PM me, and you can try to extract the cloud?

 

[Caitsmama]

Can't believe i got this done and posted the first day! Wow!

Besides the great cloud paper from SleepingBean, i used flowers, clip, and ribbon from Britt-ish designs.

Thanks for hosting!

 

[DisneyCruiser2008]

Caits -- That's GORGEOUS!! That dark cloud paper worked perfectly for an eerie BG to your LO!! Love it!

 

[quiltymom]

Caitsmama - WOW!!! Can I scraplift your design? I love it!

 

[quiltymom]

Okay - I spent way too long on this LO! But at least it's done!!!!

Believe it or not, the clouds are in the background! The rest of the stuff is CM products. And the font is a combo of Star Jedi and Star Jedi Hollow.

 

[DisneyCruiser2008]

QuiltyMom-- That is SO COOL! These are coming out really unique.... What a fun challenge! How'd you get that fame type edge on there using CM products?

 

[quiltymom]

Here's how I did it. I added a square photo blank onto the page, then under the photo tab gave it a "cloud" edge. I then flattened it to make it an element so it would accept papers, etc. Then I chose a paper to fill the element.

It took me a while to figure out how to do that, but I'm happy to pass the tip along to make it easier for anyone else!

Did I answer your question?

 

[Pooh46]

It's very interesting how the "clouds" are being used. DisneyCruiser - I must say that the Mickey & Goofy clouds are neat even if you did buy it that way! Great layout!

Caitsmama - I love the black and white layout. What a great idea!

quiltymom - Very cute! Love the pictures and the frame edge.

Here's mine. I deleted the background from my picture with the magic eraser and then used the cloud paper as the background. Then I put an overlay on top.

Christy - LOVE that lo! That pic of the ship and those clouds are one of my favs.. i bought a license plate with that pic on it, and hung it on my kitchen wall (I have a disney cruise themed kitchen)

Quiltymom, great lo! I really feel like i could follow your story - and the accent is definately on your photos!
And of course you can scraplift anything i do! LOL

Pooh, that is SO COOL!!! Very creative idea!! Great job!!
