Photo Swap - Carolc - DCL Sail Away Party
 

Hi Everyone,

I thought we'd try something new here on MouseScrappers. Several people like the concept of sharing photos, but we don't quite have the structure hashed out, so I thought I'd be the first volunteer, and we can sort of see how it goes - maybe we'll get some ideas for rules along the way.

The title 'makeover' comes from the thought that the host may not be happy with a layout she created, and is open to having it 'made over' by others. And of course I thought 'Minnie' would be an appropriate term to put with it. As an alternative, the host may post a series of photos that they haven't scrapped yet (lack of time or lack of inspiration). This is what I chose to do (I have lots of photos, and never enough time to scrap). For this first challenge, I have posted some photos from a Disney cruise (this was my first Disney cruise. I took my mom with me on the Disney Magic Dec 2008).

Photos: I have posted a number of photos from the sail away party here: http://www.pbase.com/slrrookie/sail_away_party&page=all

Date: December 6, 2008

Journaling: Mom and I made our way up to the sail away party. She purchased herself a cool fruity drink and we were given colorful ribbons to wave along with the music. The atmosphere was very energetic - a typical Disney production. But, I had a very hard time celebrating - I had been near tears since boarding the ship. After seeing all the joy the children were having, I was so sad that mine were back at home

If you'd like to participate, here is what you do:
- create a layout using any photos from the location I've posted above (right click on the photos and select the save option). You can use any products you want - paper or digital. You come up with a title.
- upload to the MouseScrappers Gallery - remember to change it to the 'Minnie Makeover challenges' category!
- post a linked image to the layout here in this thread
- PLEASE DO NOT POST IN ANY 'VENUE' AT THIS TIME. I don't want the DCL board flooded with a bunch of layouts of me and my mom at this event. ;)

You MAY double dip - i.e you can use these sail away photos for another challenge if you are simply out of your own Disney photos.

Not sure if there will be a 'favorite'... I could pick one or we could all vote.

This is just for fun - there are no prizes/compensation for the participants who scrap these photos.

I look forward to seeing what you guys think of this and what everyone comes up with.

If you have any suggestions for additional rules, let us all know! Likewise, let me know if you have any questions.

:thanks:

yay!! i am totally gonna try this for ya!! any specifications on how many of your pictures you would like us to use? or is it up to us?

It's up to you. :)

Love the idea!

Is there a deadline?

Love the idea of having something available that is Disney related for those of us running out of pics AND that we can use them for other challenges too and "double dip"! :thumbsup:

I've seen other challenges like this where you download the pics of the person above you and then leave a link for your pics that you are dropping off. This is a unique twist on that and nice for me since I have a hard time coming up with Disney related layouts to be able to play in the challenges. We so need a Disney vacation again!!! (sigh)

I haven't set a firm deadline yet. We'll see how many people participate.

If you want to have more photo options, maybe someone else can volunteer their photos concurrently. (hint!)

I was not to sure if we needed to use the journaling..I choose not to:whistle:
Here is my try (I know not too Disneyish):

I used your pictures for Britt's Speed Scrap. Thanks so much. It looks like a fun trip. I sure want to go on one now!

Chef Minnie Mouse and mstalbot1 - thanks for being the first two to participate. :) I can see this is going to be very interesting to see how different people scrap the same photos. I left love in the Gallery. Thanks for playing!

Tanya - thanks for volunteering!

I've been wanting to scrap a cruise layout like ..... forever. And since I'll probably never get to go on one .... here's a layout for you Carol on your cruise.

(I used ALL the pictures by the way) :D

Goofy's Girl, I love this LO! Is this a template or did you make this yourself? It is fabulous. Great job. ( I tried to leave this comment in the gallery, but I couldn't find a link.)

I've never been on a Disney cruise (or cruise at all), and would love to! So I might try to play with these so I have a chance to scrap a cruise. :)

Melissa - what a great layout. I love the 'Polaroid' snapshot look. Is that a template? The logos really add a lot... great idea.

Thanks for playing!

I still need to book about 8 cabins before the end of the year. Group cruise anyone? :D Prices for 4-nighters are reasonable in Oct/Nov.

Are you paying?! :D Just kidding!

THis is a great idea for a challenge! Especially for someone like me, who is almost out of my own Disney photos! Thank you so much for this fun idea!!! I'll have to find some time to play along! Scrapping a cruise would be super fun. Especially since we're considering one!

Yeah it is a template ... from Yins Designs .... I looooooove her templates!!!

Carol ... you did say NOT to upload these to the gallery right? I have this in my photobucket ... that is right isn't it?

This looks like so much fun! I have tons of pics. Let us know when you are ready for others to jump in with pics!:)

This looks like so much fun let me kow when you need more photos I have a ton

Upload to the MS gallery, but do not post a link to your layout in the (DCL) forum... just here in this thread. ;)

Thanks again!

That is reallly cute, Tanya!!!!

Wow, that is so amazing, Tanya! Wonderful job! Thanks for playing.

I just fell in love with this photo of the little girl on her daddy's shoulders! It could be used for a promo ad! So here's my LO using it:

This was when I was feeling very heartbroken (missing my kids) so I really picked up on parents enjoying the quality time with their kids. I love the streamers and confetti... it's perfect for this event! Thanks for playing. :)
