This was a lot of work, to get all the elements in! But fun...

Here is one of the details:

Here is the journaling:
Every trip to Disneyland we have a few traditional things. The first (shown) is to meet up with Mommom and Aunt Shari. We don’t usually get to meet up at Disneyland with them but it was Shari’s birthday and she wanted to join in on the magic this time. Usually we meet at a restraunt and have dinner and chat. Our second tradition is that we each choose one thing (yes, just one thing) we want to accomplish on the trip. We love to have a laid back and relaxing trip so we don’t want to do to much. This trip your must do was to ride a “big” ride, you loved them all, with your favorite being Hollywood Tower Hotel. Daddy’s must do was Big Thunder Railroad, mine was to watch Aladdin (again) and your sister had no idea what was going on this time!


Thanks for the great challenge. I SO SO SO SO wanted to frame the picture, but tried to use elements and the title to "frame" it!

susan0326- I love the idea of taking the kids photo at the same place every trip! I love how you dated the photos to show how they are getting older!

I may have to "borrow" that idea! What a great way to show how the kids are changing, but also the area you're taking the photo at! Great idea!

Now to figure out from our photos of our trip, where we took photos of all the girls together!

Wow, it's so fun to see everyone's tradition moments and it's great to see how they vary! I thought we'd have even more cross over!
Now I have some new ideas, too!

What a great challenge! We had our first trip to Disney World in February so no real traditions and I couldn't possibly pick what I was looking forward to the most. But I figured that no trip would be complete without a photo with Mickey at the Judges Tent and we will definately do that again next time! Image is linked for credits:

A trip wouldn't be complete for me if I didn't see Figment in Journey Into Imagination. I have to admit that I loved the old version from 1983-1998 the best, but when he reappeared in the ride in 2002 I was excited to see him again. There's a rumor that DreamFinder will be back with Figment. Love that purple little guy! My acrylic element is the additional cloud on the left side.

Great challenge, it was hard to choose and I didn't have the best pictures but this is a family favorite

No trip to Disney is complete without a meal at Rose & Crown. It is sometimes a quick lunch of Cottage Pie or an evening meal with IllumiNations as the grand finale. We’ve made awesome memories there; finding a new favorite dessert like Sticky Toffee Pudding or that a beer sample doesn’t mean small glasses. Wish we could stop in for dinner tonight.

boBQuincy- my kids LOVE the monorail almost as much as the rides! LOL! love how you turned a picture into an alpha....very cool!
Krisi616-What a great picture! Such a nice, clean layout, very nice!
Janis- Uhm, I need to make that MY tradition too!! YUM! Very bright and festive LO...love all the little Mexixan elements!
JuneBugFL-love that patterned paper that looks like rain....cool! That's always a good photo op spot!!
Yzerbear-OMG, that's the cutest little timeline ever!! You always do such great work with the B&W pics! I gotta get that kit with the elephants in it for my dumbo stuff!
albumlady-that's the perfect tradition to start! Great job highlighting the picture without framing it!
pooh46-love the bright colors on this! and Figment IS a blast....we actually just rode it for the first time on this last trip!
kathleena- love how you labeled each picture and all the purple accents! I've never been good at finding the hidden mickeys myself, but always appreciate people that point them out to me! great layout!
janette- great way to use the 2 alphas, and what a neat tradition!

Jeez.......this is going to be way harder than I thought to pick a winner......I might have to result to random-ness....you guys have all done a great job, even with all my crazy rules!!

Stay tuned for the winners!!

 

[ngneer98]

WOW , Ladies….all I can say is just WOW! I am just floored with how many of you entered….and then to see all these great layouts with all these different and fun and off-the-wall traditions……it’s been so much fun for me to watch!!!
The one layout that stood out to me and is the first winner is Susan326’s layout of her kids over the years……the layout itself is simple because the pictures are the focal point and I just LOVE that she’s taken all these pictures of her kids….I wish I’d done something like that! So congrats to Susan!

And for the 2nd GC to Britt’s store….I just couldn’t decide! There were several that I really liked and wanted to win…...I chickened out and DD was no help either, so I went with random.org…….I put everybody in the reverse order that they posted (because I was typing from the last entry to the 1st entry!) and I got #8....

And with my backwards numbering scheme, #8 is Krisi616, and here’s her layout:

Congrats Krisi and Susan!! I’ll have Britt PM you your GC codes ASAP! And thanks so much for playing everybody….I know the prize was a BIG incentive, but thanks for putting up with all my goofy rules anyways!!!

congratulations everyone!!! That was very fun to see the themes of this week's challenge

 

[susan0326]

Aww, thank you so much! Thanks for hosting such a fun challenge that helped me get another page done for my book. Without these challenges, I wouldn't have at least 57 pages done in the past year!

Thank you Britt for the GC! I will probably using it to get the Vegas kit which is awesome!

It was really just random luck that started our tradition. Isn't that how most traditions begin? You do something and then you want to do it again ... and again. Before long, the tradition has a life of its own! We just happened upon those crates near the pond in 2001 and thought it would be cool to sit the children up there. Little did we know that we'd be able to take the kids pictures there every time. We don't even have a familiy picture in front of the castle each year (missed the first year! LOL! How'd we do that?). If they ever remove those crates, I'll have a meltdown .... but I guess we'd just take a picture at whatever is on the location.

Hey, next time you are at Hollywood Studios, visit the crates and take a pic... for me. I'd love to see your picture taken there! Make sure you read anything written on the crates They change the shipment information on them from time to time with names of different stars, directors, etc.

Thanks again and congrats to Kris! Her layout and all of the layouts were so wonderful to look at but more than that they were priceless to read! This is such a talented group of people!

 

[Pooh46]

Congrats, Susan and Krisi!! Awesome layouts, everyone!!

 

[quiltymom]

Drats! I forgot all about this. I had an idea but couldn't figure out how to do it. Maybe I'll still do it and post it when it's done. Oh well.

It was fun to see everyone's tradtions!

Oh, and Congrats Susan & Krisi!

 

[Janis]

Congrats to the winners!

 

[designerbrittney]

AWWWW NUTS! I got messed up and thought I had another day to do this. It's literally on my to do list for today. SHUCKS! Sorry Diana.

Congrats to Krisi and Susan. I'll PM you your $5.50 GCs right now!!!!

 

[Fran98765]

Me too, I thought I had another day! I even took a pic of the magnets we buy every trip for this challenge! Congrats to the winners!
