Challenge YOUrself Blog Movie Challenge "YO HO - YO HO!" #62

Hello Scrappy Peeps!  Thanks for stopping by today  - I hope the weather has warmed up a bit where you are!  We've had some pretty COLD weather here in New Jersey - the perfect time to spend nights at home scrapping!  It is time for this month's Challenge from the Challenge YOUrself Blog!  Challenge #62 asks you to create a layout - using a "movie theme" and be sure to INCLUDE YOU in your layout!!  HOP on over to the Challenge YOUrself Blog for Prize and Challenge Info - and be sure to check out all of the AWESOME inspiration from the other members on the Design Team!

My layout is inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean movies!  One of our favorite vacations is a Disney Cruise - and one of our favorite events is "Pirate Night!"  There is an awesome show on the top deck, where Capt. Hook, Capt. Mickey and all the characters appear!  Many guests - us included, "dress up" as Pirates for the night - and we even get to have our picture taken with Capt. Jack Sparrow! 

These photos are from our Disney Magic Cruise in October of 2017 - we sailed out of NYC to Port Canaveral, Florida and back. Pirate Night also fell on our 35th Anniversary - It was a special and memorable way to celebrate with our family!

 Here are some close ups for you 

- I used lots of "stuff" from my "stash."  

My favorite way to add journaling is to create a "pocket" behind a photo, using 3 strips of 3D Foam Tape - one on each side and one along the bottom.  I usually decorate the front - and write on the back, adding some type of "pull tab" to the top.

I hope I've inspired you to play along with us this month at the Challenge YOUrself Blog - I can't wait to see what MOVIE inspires you!

My SBC DT Inspiration Sketch # 396

Hello my Bloggy friends!   I hope this post finds you all very well, and enjoying this lovely warmer summer weather!

I am excited to share my FIRST Scrapbook Challenges Design Team Inspiration Layout with you!!

This is the SKETCH for Challenge # 396 -

You can find out all the information on how to play along/enter, over on the SBC BLOG.  CLICK on SKETCH #396 to be take over to the Scrapbook Challenges Blog, to see all of the DT's BEAUTIFUL Submissions for your INSPIRATION - we really hope you will play along!



As you can see - this month's sketch was actually a 2 pager - and I opted to just focus on the Left Side - that's the FUN thing about SBC Sketches and Challenges - there are SO MANY WAYS to CREATE and make them your own too!!

Here is my take on SKETCH #396  

I decided that the LEFT side of this 2 page sketch "spoke" to me more than the right side and created a 1 page layout for my DT Inspiration.  ( Yes, you are "allowed" to create/enter a 1 page from a 2 page sketch - or a 2 page layout from a 1 page sketch, for that matter - when playing along!)

The large 8x10 photo size is what drew me to the left side - as I have lots of photos from our Disney Cruises left to scrap ( I will NEVER be caught up!)   The photo I used was from Pirate Night, on our 14 night, October 2012 30th Anniversary Cruise on The Disney Wonder to Hawaii!!  ( more details / info to follow on this sketch later this month - watch for it! )


Please visit the SBC Blog - you can also create an account on their Gallery Tab - and share all of your Scrappy Creations with us too!

HAPPY SCRAPPING!
