Hey everyone! Welcome back to another exciting challenge at Park Hopping My Happy Place!
We were thrilled with all the fantastic entries for our August challenge and can’t wait to see your creativity for this month. As always, our challenge is open to any theme park-inspired creation.

This month’s inspiration photo features Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival. With September bringing the promise of cooler weather, a relaxing stroll with a cool drink sounds perfect. Let your imagination run wild and show us your magical creations!

My color palette is directly inspired by this month’s photo of Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival’s brochure. My theme comes from the cat’s of Disneyland & balloons (you can find these at every theme park). Originally I was going to place the milk bottle with the cat, but the balloon just looked better.

Thank you Aimeslee! Originally, I was going to put a “drink” on the card; but, I couldn’t get it to look the way I wanted. So when in doubt, place a silly animal on the front. Seems to work. Have a great week! Cheers, Makira
