DIS Digi Scrapping Challenge #50 (3/35 - 3/31)

DIS Digi-challenge #50

It’s so hard to believe that we are already up to challenge #50! The idea for this challenge actually came from my sister when I told her I needed an idea for this week’s theme. The inspiration is going to be SLEEPING BEAUTY since it is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. We are going to use the story as our inspiration.

Rules:

1. Must be Disney related

2. “Make it blue!” Flora and Merryweather have an ongoing debate which color Aurora’s dress should be, so use an element and RECOLOR IT either BLUE or PINK.

3. Every fairy tale has a villain so incorporate something BLACK to represent Maleficent

4. “I know you . . .” Briar Rose sings to her animal friends in the forest so include at least ONE ELEMENT FROM NATURE (leaf, flower, animal, etc).

5. Briar Rose is raised by the three good fairies, so REPEAT ONE ELEMENT THREE TIMES.

6. To represent the magic wands sprinkle your page with some GLITTER or SPARKLES.

7. The curse that Maleficent placed on Aurora was that she would prick her finger on a spindle on a spinning wheel, so include at least ONE CIRCLE.

8. The three good fairies gave Phillip the “Sword of Truth” to use to slay Maleficent so use something SILVER or GOLD.

And the winners are . . . .

And because each of the good fairies gave Sleeping Beauty a gift and I like to give surprises, I'm giving a special gift to three randomly selected people. So watch your mailbox for that later tonight.

CONGRATS to everyone!!!

What a fun recipe for this challenge. Ohh.. Midnight EST, will have to remember that! I am always a late night scrapper --- hopefully I can get this one done early.

 

[kswm30b]

Sounds fun! I can't believe we're up to 50 already!!

 

[RRBB]

What a fun challenge.

 

[carolinagirl]

What a creative way to come up with a challenge! Sounds like fun! Can't wait to get started on this!

 

[BriarRose59]

Wow! So many parts of this challenge call to me. SB and I share a birth year, I just celebrated my 50th birthday by going on a trip with 17 high school students to Paris, my favorite Disney movie is Sleeping Beauty and my username is BriarRose! The trip was wonderful. We went to DLP while we were there and saw the fantastic SB castle. This will give me a chance to scrap some of those pics! Thanks!

 

[designerbrittney]

What an excellent challenge!! I LOVE IT. I can't wait to give it a go!

And I can't believe its been almost a full year since we started these challenges. That's just NUTS!

 

[quiltymom]

Oh, my. I'm really going to have to engage my brain on this one. Melissa, what a creative idea!

 

[Pooh46]

And I can't believe its been almost a full year since we started these challenges. That's just NUTS!

Oh my, that must mean that I started digi-scrapping almost a year ago! My first ever digi-LO was for the first DIS challenge hosted by Britt in April of last year! How time flies!

What a great idea for a challenge, Melissa! I'll have to think about this one!

 

[kswm30b]

Oh my, that must mean that I started digi-scrapping almost a year ago! My first ever digi-LO was for the first DIS challenge hosted by Britt in April of last year! How time flies!

Me too! My first LO was for challenge number 5, I think.

 

[CAVEA001]

I'm pretty new to the digi scrapbooking game, and I have no clue how to recolor. Does anybody have a link to a good tutorial? (I use Photoshop 6).

 

[Yzerbear19]

Do you have Photoshop 6 or Elements 6?

I use Photoshop 7, so the instructions might be slightly for your version.

1. Select the layer you want to recolor.
2. Hit CONTROL and U together. This brings up "Hue/Saturation" box. You can also go to IMAGE --> ADJUSTMENTS --> HUE/SATURATION
3. Click COLORIZE on the bottom right.
4. Adjust the sliders until you get the color you want.
5. It also helps if you have the color you want your item to be as the foreground color.

Let me know if that helps.

I remember when these challenges started too. That was Before I started digi-scrapping. I have been a lurker for so long. I'm going to try and jump in!

 

[CAVEA001]

Thanks for the recoloring lesson Melissa! Those directions were perfect.

Sheesh - this WAS a challenge (hence, the name of the thread "challenge!"). I think I got everything in there: black, recoloring, bling, a circle, nature, etc ...)

Paper and do-dads from Britt-ish design's latest mini freebie kit.

Oh - I hope this counts as "Disney themed".

Great challenge Melissa! Very fun directions, and I love how they all came from the movie!

 

[terri24601]

Another way to recolor in Photoshop is to use layer styles. Go to Layer...Layer Styles...Color Overlay in the menu at the top. In the box that comes up, you will see a box with a color in it that you can click and choose a new color. The drop down menu will be set at Normal blend probably. Change that to Color and you will get an overlay of the chosen color so that the detail of the recolored item shows.

I think this is the fastest I've done one of these challenges! Here is mine:

My recolored element is the glitter behind the smaller photo.

Great challenge Melissa! Thanks for hosting!
