Dis Digi-scrapping Challenge #57!!! (5/13-5/19)

[ngneer98]

Hi Everybody! Welcome to Challenge# 57!!

I had several ideas for a challenge, and it was hard to settle on just one, but here it is: Your Disney Tradition.

Your challenge this week is to scrap about the thing you just HAVE TO DO at Disney every time you go....
Whether it's the ride you go on first each time.....or a character you have to see first-thing.....
or a particular snack you have to have before you go home (Dole Whip anyone?)........
or even a certain "photo op" you HAVE to get each visit.......Scrap it! I want to see it!

If you've only been to Disney once, then scrap about what you were looking forward to the most and why it was so important....

RULES....obviously the LO must be Disney-related.....AND:

1. You must use an odd number of photos
2. You can-NOT mat, outline or frame your pictures in any way (insert my evil laugh here: MWAHAHAHAHAHA!)
3. Use at least 3 papers, 1 of which must have a pattern on it
4. Use a 'clear' element somewhere on your page
5. There must be at least 1 Mickey head somewhere on the layout
6. Use at least 5 other elements (the clear element and the Mickey head do NOT count!)
7. Use 2 different alphas for your title
8. Don't forget Journaling!! Journal about WHY this is your tradition.....when it started, why it's important to you, etc, etc, etc.....

You have until 11:59PM (CDT since that's where I'm at!) on Tuesday 5/19 to post your layout in this thread to be eligible for the prize!

I'll be choosing 2 winners with the help of my DD who will receive $5.50 Gift Cards to the Britt-ish Designs store at Scrap Matters (a big BIG thank you to Britt for donating that, btw! Thanks again, Britt!)......so have fun scrapping those Disney Traditions!!!

I can't wait to see what everybody comes up with.........and to start off.....here's one of my "must-do" things for each trip......trying to pull the Sword from the Stone at the Magic Kingdom:

WOW!! this will be quite a challenge in-deed!!! I love it though. Thanks Diana! I'm sorry I've been away from the DIS boards for so long guys. But I'm ready to come back and get active again!!!

 

[Pooh46]

Great challenge...but what to choose, what to choose!!

 

[albumlady]

Great challenge and I know EXACTLY what I am going to scrap!

 

[RRBB]

Wow, great challenge.

 

[sleepingbean]

Yes, this will be easy to think of a tradition and a fun one to put together

 

[Krisi616]

What a challenge this will be! Will have to find the pictures.

We've only done 2 trips to Disney since we've been married. Once without the girls and once with them. So we didn't really have any traditions. So, I'm hoping this will count.

The journaling basically says that for our 1st trip the Hall of Presidents was temporarily closed for renovations. My husband was so disappointed because he is a huge History buff. Fast forward to 2008, and yet again, The Hall of President's is temporarily closed for renovations. We took some photos near the building at the eating area, just to say we'd actually been there!

So, even though it's not a good tradition, it does seem to be becoming our tradition!

that's hilarious!! The same thing happened to a friend of mine....the first 3 times he went to Disney World, the Swiss Family Treehouse was closed...FINALLY on the 4th trip he got to go up in it, and after all that anticipation, it was a total letdown!!! I still laugh at it though...

Great memory and you scrapped it well! Thanks for playing!!

2. You can-NOT mat, outline or frame your pictures in any way (insert my evil laugh here: MWAHAHAHAHAHA!)

You are SOOOOooooo mean!

Just kidding! That'll just make it all the easier. One less decision to make!

The only problem is that I don't have any pics of our tradition! We always get fritters and a Mint Julep in New Orleans Square, but I've never taken pics of it. Maybe we're so ready for a snack by then that I don't even think about it.

I'll come up with something...

 

[Fran98765]

Wow I don't think we have any traditions... other then keep going back! LOL I haven't done a challenge in awhile... wow those weeks seem to slip by quickly!! I will try to think of something.

Soarin is our favorite ride & we always go straight there after arriving at Epcot. I kept putting off scrapping it because I want the LO to be as perfect as the ride (I'm sure you know what I mean!) This was finally the push to scrap it from our first trip (when it became a tradition. )

I LOVE the Soarin' layout......so bright and cheery! Great job!! You must've been fast with the camera to get those pictures, 'cuz when we went in, they made us get in and get buckled in a hurry!

Great layout, thanks for playing!!

 

[mumloveseeyore]

this is my attempt, we had dinner at le cellier booked our first trip but ran out of time and had to cancel but we have been twice since and it's on the list for our upcoming trip.

 

[DisneyCowgirl]

kswm30b--I LOVE your Soarin layout. It looks like the pics are hanging down just like the ride does!

 

[sleepingbean]

Got everything in there ... and THEN some! LOL
That was fun!

odd number of photos, at least 3 papers, used pattern, 5+ elements and a clear element (cloud) and a mickey and journaling and our photo tradition and two alphas in the title! PHEW!

credits: most of the kit I used is from the Shabby Princess freebie and I used one element from Brittish and one from a 4th of July kit from Donie, I believe? And I made the clear because I didn't have one! LOL

 

[terri24601]

That was a lot of requirements..but I made it and had one element extra!
When I looked back at our two trips, the face painting was one thing that we did both times and I know we will continue to do as long as they want to! The two photos at the top are from our first trip. I toned the color down and used the "remember" word circles to distinguish those from the new trip photos.

mumloveseeyore- We always eat a meal at Le Cellier....it's our favorite restaurant! YUM! love the mickey sparkles!
sleepingbean- It took me FOREVER to find the Mickey...he was right there in front of me....how clever!! love all the papers, and Crystal Palace is a great tradition to have!!
terri24601- We do face-painting on each trip too....at AK...but our kids really look forward to it. Great picture placement and I love the striped paper to match DS's shirt! cute!
susan0326- YAY! LOVE the photo-op tradition....I can't believe the same set-up has been there that long, but what a great thing to do on each trip. It's so neat to see how your kids have changed over the years! That's a great memory. I gotta go snag that add-on...I love that Mickey balloon!!
Tinker326- sneaky sneaky with the patterned paper!! And I like how you improvised with the stitches since you couldn't mat the pics (yes, I'm so mean! LOL!)

I think that catches me up.....Great job everybody and thanks so much for playing....I'm having so much fun watching these layouts get posted!!
