Over at Getting Cricky you'll find Simply Sunday challenge, to add a face to your project and a great message shining bright as a person and showing your fabulous self to the world.
I'm so happy I've learnt to live out loud. The good, the not-so-good, the quirky. I am who I am. Although I love praise, I never need any outside approval to keep smiling. Which is why I am posting this layout.
It's not my greatest, it is a weird concept, but it is an important story to tell and a very big meaningful event for my son each week.
Plus it gives me a giggle about my own thought processes. I have one of THOSE brains. It has annoying inner dialogue that never stays silent. It is not happy with just "challenge" "It wants superchallenge!" So my brain said,
"Cool challenge Kristal! - Face challenge. Easy. Lots of layouts planned that could use a face, but I reallllly want to do the McDonalds one...ooooooo I know... face... Ronald McDonald. Hahahaha that'd be hilarious. Peachy Keening up Ronald!!! LOL...Which PK stamp would I use? The New years ones? REVELATION: Maybe I'm the first person EVER to PK up Ronald...hahahaha who would know that? I know who WOULD know... PK DT member Stamping with Janice. ..she always visits my blog.I'm going to ask her. Poor Ronald... OH NO!!!! imagine Paperdolling him toooo!!!!! Ooooooooo And then using the packaging in the background....hahaha... MAKING FLOWERS OUT OF NAPKINS.... lolololol."
Having sufficiently amused myself in my own head... I had a problem. My simple face challenge turned into Superchallenge! I had 'up-sized' my challenge.
Used the packaging.
Made McFlurryflowers using the i-top and i-top punch
out of the napkins, cups and bags.
I doubt Imaginisce ever thought that would happen.
out of the napkins, cups and bags.
I doubt Imaginisce ever thought that would happen.
Not that I think there is a HUGE interest out there for tutorials on McDonalds napkins... in case you were wondering how to make a
McHappyChloe McCarnation with a McNakpin:
hahaha Just a little bit Fancy.
Please Janice, tell me -
I am the first EVER person to
Peachy Keen up a Ronald McDonald?
I did use the New Years Peachy Keen set in the end.
Such a fun challenge and
subsequent personal Superchallenge.
You put a smile on my face and my layout.
It's weird, it's me, and it's just a little bit Fancy!
This is great! i love all the mix of fonts and colors around one theme!

Chloe, for as long as I've been a 'lurker' on your blog, I think this is definitely, without a doubt, my very favorite of your projects!! WOWZERS!! You definitely 'PKed' up my face with a BIG OLE SUPER-SIZED-SMILE!! :) I TOTALLY get why you had to do this layout -- I did a layout in my son's album from a trip to McD's for a Happy Meal last year... When he was EIGHTEEN!! It was a special day for us and worthy to be scrapbooked (I might have to post it now to show ya!)... Your little one will forever love this layout!! SUPER-SIZED-GREAT job, Chloe!! :)

Girl, you are amazing! Your lay-out tells such an amazing story! I feel like I am with you on your special Thursday trip! Great work!
ReplyDeleteChloe, this is AMAZING! Love how you used the napkins and such...very creative and Ronald is totally ADORABLE! BTW, my Peachy Keens arrived. Can't wait to use them! Thank you so so much! xxxD
ReplyDeleteCHLOE!! You smart girl! I adore this layout from the unique Aussie "It's a Little Bit Fancy" packaging, the journaling of such a sweet tradition, and the Ronald McDonald. You are SO very creative! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I featured on our FB wall this morning. You rock!
ReplyDeleteAwesome page! You always add such fun details to your page! Keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cool! It is the epitome of scrapping - using the napkins, food packaging, and the Ronald doll!!! Awesome way to tell this story! You may not think it's your best, but it sure does rock! Wow! I'm totally impressed!
ReplyDeleteadorable LO.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about it. The paper bag is great for the background.
But the flowers is what I like best.
I always save a napkin or two and a cup and plate and any little favors that can be added to a page.
I kept getting made fun of because I would get those items BEFORE the B-day party (so hey would be nice and clean)
The flower is a wonderful idea...I just love the idea of it. Thanks for sharing that because I am going to use it, if you don't mind!!
How cute is this! I love it, boy looks like alot of work. Great job! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing our Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky.
