Welcome to the newest digi-challenge! This week we'll be doing a template challenge. I have come to love template challenges, especially when I see how everyone comes up with such different ideas. So, to quote Peter Pan,
"Come on, everybody! Here we go....."

For me, the best part of scrapbooking is telling the story, whether it's mostly through photos, journaling, or a little of both. But mostly I love the photos! The more photos I can get on a page, the better.

So, here is your challenge for the week - to tell a story. It doesn't matter what the story is, as long as it is about something Disney.

Here's my page that inspired this challenge. We picked at pearl at the Mitsusoshi Department Store in the Japan pavilion at Epcot for my friend Heather's birthday. Since she wasn't there, I wanted to be able to have her experience it through a scrapbook page, which in my opinion is the next best thing to being there. So I came up with this:

Here's the journaling: "We went to the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Japan to purchase a very special birthday treat - a pearl - for Jan's friend, Heather. The kids chose the oyster, and before we knew it, the oyster was opened and we were looking at the beautiful pearl. The pearl is now ready to be measured and shown off - it is a 7-1/4 mm pink pearl, all ready to be set into a necklace for Heather."

Here are the rules:
  1. Tell a story. It can be of a particular ride, experience, silly moment, favorite foods you ate, or about an entire trip. You can even use it as the end page summary or the first page of a trip album. It's yours to decide.
  2. Use 6 photos. No more, no less. If you want to add an extraction, say of a sign or something, that would be okay, but it doesn't count as a photo.
  3. The photos must stay in a line.
  4. Have a title that can be either an alpha or text.
  5. Journal and tell the story.
That's it!

Here's the link for the template. It has both the .png files and a .page file for those who use SBC+.

click here for the template

Note: Even though it doesn't show it here, the template was created for use in a StoryBook, so it was intended for the photos will bleed off of the page. But if you're just doing a page print, then it won't bleed. Either way is okay by me - I just wanted to let ya'll know, just in case.

I'll pick two winners at random just because it's so hard to choose. And thanks to our wonderful friend Brittney, I have a fantastic prize for the winners!

ScrapMatters has a brand new designer, Megan (pronounced Meegan) Turnidge, and she has graciously offered to donate the prizes for this week. Each winner will receive a $10.00 gift certificate to her store. Now, isn't that fantastic? Please be sure to check out Megan's store to see her fantastic products. She has a little bit of everything there, from full kits to hybrid goodies to page templates, even the cutest little felt cupcakes! Here's the link for you. Be sure to tell her "hi" and that you heard about her on the challenge.

Have fun, and I can't wait to see what ya'll do!
 
the link works absolutely fine. A quick question, i have only ever used psd templated before, does each png work as a separate layer? This is probably a silly question Gill
 
Yes, I set up the the .png's as separate layers, so hopefully they will work okay for you. Let me know if they don't.
 

Thanks for this weeks challenge! Love your layout, you did a great job telling the story! :)
 
I added strips for the journaling. I hope it's okay. I got a little carried away with the bling, but wanted to convey all it takes to make a princess. :) It's all about the accessories.

I was waiting for the perfect inspiration for these BBB pictures from 2007. Thanks for the wonderful template and inspiration! You're awesome! Thanks for hosting!

Susan,

How adorable! I just love all that bling, especially the way you dotted the "i" in Princess. And yes, it is the accessories that make a princess (I love that line - I just may need to use it sometime!).

I'm glad that the template helped you get your page done. And I do love what you did with the journaling. Very creative! Changing templates around a bit is what makes them so much fun. You start with the basics and then have fun! And your DD is just adorable. The smile on her face just says it all. It's a precious page for a special girl! Great job.

Here's mine. This was hard for me, because I usually only use one or two pictures. Six was really a stretch for me, but I'm glad I did this because I really wanted to scrap the "beauty of Disney". Thanks QuiltyMom!

Journaling: Looking around Disney World, there are many amazing sights. Sure we all have photos of Cinderella's castle, but if you look beyond the obvious, you can see the real beauty of Disney World, right before your eyes.

What great layouts everyone has submitted already. I will put my thinking cap on for what pictures I can do for this.
 
This is what is so fun about hosting a challenge, seeing what everyone makes.

mumloveseeyore - You chose to scrap my favorite Disney parade! How fun is this. I just love that thing. I've got the song in my head now. Your embellishments - and that title - are so cute. They go along great with the fun theme of the parade. And I love that background paper. Purple rules! And good job in finding that fun & creepy font for your journaling.


boBQuincy - I love the way you spread one photo onto two template spots! That is certainly very clever. Seeing it was one of those "a-ha" moments for me. Yes, I could do that if I wanted to! Good job on your first template. Your photos are stunning, and the simplicity of the design just makes the photos pop off of the page. Great job!

BooToo - What you did is one of the ways I love to use multi-photo pages, to bring photos from here and there that you otherwise don't know what to do with and put them together like that. You did good in going outside of your comfort zone. The papers are perfect, and I love the way you put your date in one of the boxes in the bottom border. BTW - what font did you use for the title? I like it!

I can't wait to see more!
 
BTW - what font did you use for the title? I like it!

I went and downloaded it last night. I wanted a really striking font for that layout. It's from Urban Fonts and it's called PORCELAIN. I'm a font junkie. I love using new fonts. Thanks!

I went to your website and looked at some of your Disney photos last night. WOW, there are some amazing shots. I was really inspired, as I'm taking some photography classes and trying to learn more about my camera. Thanks for sharing!!

Love seeing everyone's take on this. Thanks, quiltymom, for the great template and for hosting this week!

janis that looked such a fun time! I love yuor LO, is that a brush you used behind your journalling.? i'm new at this and always looking for good ideas . Gill
 
Hi Gill,

What I used behind my journaling was a Stamp tab from the kit. I resized it to fit. I thought it made the journaling easier to read.
 
Sweet! I feel like it has been forever since I did one of these challenges. I'm finally back to working on Disney pictures, so i can join in now! AND you did the template for SBC+, too! How cool is that? I'm going to an all day crop tomorrow and this challenge will be my first order of business! Thanks! I'm excited to play!
 
I made some changes to the background on my LO to try and mimic the concrete texture of the Contemporary Resort.

This has been a really helpful challenge, everyone has some great ideas (that I don't mind shamelessly "borrowing" for some of my future LOs). If all the challenges are like this one I am going to learn a lot from the creative people on this board! I have not done a lot of scrapbooking and it's great to see how others use all the little touches that really make the page.

Thanks so much quiltymom! :)
