A double that failed

Failed to meet either of the challenge requirements I was working on each of the two weeks I did these. I finished the Beauty and the Beast layout and it didn't have the right colors in it to fit that week's DIS board challenge. This week, the Snow White layout fails to have any way to put nine elements repeated in it. (Well, any way that I can come up with and that I like.) That is OK. I like them both and they are striking together:

Disney Scrapbook

I've been working on a Disney scrapbook, mostly through participation in challenges on the DIS board, but also just a few here and there on my own. Here's what I have so far:

July 4th scrappin' weekend

I haven't posted anything, but I have been scrapping. Let me fill up a few inches with the layouts I did for a July 4th weekend challenge at Scrap N Art. I ended up coming in 3rd place (I completed the third most challenges). Here are my entries minus one which is being published in their next e-zine!

Challenge #6: scrap in a different size than you usually do. I'm a 12X12 scrapper, but I did this in 8.5 X 11.
Everything from Danielle Young's Defunct Destiny (Oscraps)


Challenge #21: scrap a monochromatic layout. (This will be the title page for my our day at MGM on our Disney trip.)
Unless noted, everything from I'm a Dreamer kit by Britt-ish Designs (Scrap Matters).
Lomo photo action by Addicted 2 Design.
Photo wrap (recolored) from Rock On! by Vicki Stegall (Oscraps)
"Chip + Dale" word art by labdogs42
Template by Karen Maggie (March theme album challenge on ScrapbookGraphics' blog)


Challenge #1: scrap at least five photos. (This layout is about my hometown. When I found out my parents were moving, I realized how much the town meant to me. I went out and took pictures of some favorite places, including the home I grew up in. I didn't get the wording right in the journalling...I have to go back and fix it before I print this layout.)
Template is TaylorMade Designs Uncluttered Collage Vol. 1
Action Packed Photo Actions by TaylorMade Designs (washed out color)
Paper from TaylorMade Designs Alternative Paper Pack


Challenge #41: scrap something/someone you don't usually scrap. (I had this photo from a trip I took to Washington on business...with no family. I always overlook these photos when I scrap.)
Photo is blended into a paper from TaylorMade Designs' Casually Blending In Paper Pack (Oscraps).
Font is Pegsanna (Hallmark Card Studio)


Challenge #19: Layout using only b&w (photo could be color).
Template is All Inclusive Template - The Heart by TaylorMade Designs (Oscraps)


Challenge #23: use repetition of an element. Here I used a butterfly patterned paper and then used the same blue butterfly element five times to add interest.
Paper and butterfly from Sue Cummings' From My Notebook-Butterfly Friends
Frame is from Sue Cummings' From My Notebook {Vintage Frames} (Oscraps)
Font is LD Youngster


Challenge #34: use only circular elements.
Everything is from Little Dreamer Designs' Collaborative Kit Good Times
Based off of a Janet Phillips' All Stitched Up Template
Font is LD Speckled (I rasterized the text and added the color)


Challenge #5: scrap a non-July 4th layout using red, white and blue. (Maury in his Davey Crockett hat playing with a broomstick (?) at a Christmas get together last year.)
Papers I made
Ribbons are by Misy Cato from her All American kit
Font is LD Dizzy


Challenge #17: use hand drawn embellishments.
Hand drawn elements are from French Country Elements by Julia Makotinsky (Little Dreamer Designs)
Paper by TaylorMade Designs from Casually Blending In (Oscraps)
Font is Scrap Hap'nen


Challenge #24: use lots of bling!
Everything is from Danielle Young's Drama Queen (Oscraps) except the border bling at the top from Betsy Tuma's Pop Tart (Plain Digital Wrapper)


Challenge #9: Create a 15 minute layout. The only way this was possible was a great template (by Karen Maggie at ScrapbookGraphics on their blog) and a wonderful paper pack (Loveable by Michelle Coleman at Little Dreamer Designs). I just pulled up 7 papers, clipped the papers to the template and added a photo I loved.

Saved

After I made that draft invitation to Lizzie's party shown in the last post, I got to thinking that maybe the photo wasn't right for it. I showed it to my mother-in-law who suggested that maybe if I could get the lollipop stick out of the photo it would be better. As it so happened, Amanda Taylor had just put a tutorial on removing unwanted objects on her blog. I knew about the clone tool but her tut really helped me understand it better. And, I didn't know about the healing brush at all! So, here are the results (original, lollipop removed and photo blended to remove most of the background, final blend into a pink background):

Invitation

I was working on a challenge at Oscraps and actually came up with Lizzie's birthday party invites from it. I had this picture of Lizzie after she went to Club Libby Lu and since her party will be there, I used it on the invite. The challenge was to be inspired by something in the media, so I looked up the Bratz movie posters and found the perfect inspiration:

Then using Danielle Young's Drama Queen kit (again, how perfect is that??), I came up with this:

There is also a swirl in that from Miss Mint's Sweet Easter Kit and the font is, as usual, Century Gothic.

There is another movie poster for the movie that has four girls on it. I can totally see the layouts for her party coming from that!

Silly Daddy

Oscraps had a great twist on a scraplift challenge. There was a layout which they turned into a template. I took the template and moved things around and came up with this:
