Hello everyone, I hope you are having a pleasant Thursday! Recently, I designed a new card inspired by the new stamp sets by Lawnfawn.

This towering twosome is neck-deep in birthday bash prep. Seems like the guest of honor is none other than Bertha, the elephant. She’s set to go wild for the cake & party “trunks.” I stumbled upon these whimsically stamped digi critters from Whimsy stamps and playfully painted them with copic colors. To set the stage, I harnessed some adorable patterned paper, crafting a scene that roars with excitement. And for the final touch, I borrowed a punny sentiment from Lawn Fawn, because let’s face it, it’s irrelephant to resist!
Any wild guesses where I draw my artistic roar-spiration from? Well, I’ll let the cat out of the bag, it is the Jungle Cruise. Are you pun-dering if I’ve reached my quota of puns? Well, perhaps, I should probably stop monkeying around.

Welcome, everyone, to another exciting month of the Park Hopping My Happy Place Challenge! We’re thrilled to have you join us once again, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who participated in last month’s challenge. Your enthusiasm and support mean the world to us.
This month, our card inspiration comes from the legendary Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios in Orlando, FL, USA. Although the ride has been retired, its legacy lives on through various reminders. One such reminder is the iconic Grauman’s Chinese Theater, which continues to stand tall, housing Mickey & Minney’s Runaway Railway. Adjacent to the theater, you’ll find the illustrious Hollywood Walk of Fame, where the stars of the entertainment industry forever cement their place in history.
Park Hopping enthusiasts, get ready for an exhilarating adventure as we announce our next destination: the magnificent Kilimanjaro Safari Ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, FL, USA! This captivating attraction has provided us with awe-inspiring pictures to fuel your imagination.
While the Kilimanjaro Safari Ride may be our starting point, we want to emphasize that safari-themed parks can be found all around the world. The mesmerizing beauty of safari animals knows no bounds, and we encourage you to draw inspiration from any theme park, regardless of its location. Remember, our pictures are meant to ignite your artistic vision and spark your imagination. We eagerly await the masterpieces you’ll bring to life, celebrating the wonders of theme parks worldwide.

Last week, I participated in Craft Roulette and I’m excited to share my creation. The guidelines were to incorporate a see-through element (using a window), fashion (with a shopper and store), rustic garden colors (such as those found in a rose garden), and the shape of an irregular hexagon (when the envelope is unfolded).
I took inspiration from the classic movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the design. The images displayed in the windows were created digitally by me using Canva. I used an old May May Made It stamp of a shopper, which I modified by removing her Santa hat and adding white gloves. The awnings were from a previous Hero Arts stamp set that I adapted using a partial die-cut technique to make them smaller, and I drew in the “pleats.”
Hello everyone, and happy Thursday! I wanted to share my entry for this week’s Craft Roulette Challenge. The challenge required us to use something see-through; rustic garden colors (rose), fashion and a hexagon.. I decided to use the Ton’s stamp and embossed the dress in a clear and pale pink. My wood element has a hexagonal pattern. I added a few pink tinted Tim Holtz flowers, pearls and tule. I hope you like it!
Happy June, everyone! Can you believe we’ve already made it through almost half the year? Are you ready to participate in the Colorful Options Challenge? Can you take a wild guess at what peaceful color represents this exciting month?

So, check out my playful kitties! It’s what I imagine my furry friends do while I sleep. 😁 I used this awesome stamp set called Lawn Fawn’s Purrfectly Wicked. I didn’t go too crazy with the coloring—kept it nice and simple with my trusty Copics. For the border and the paw-printed wallpaper, I dug into my stash, pulled out my Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink, and paired it with this sweet stencil. Pretty neat, right?
This is my entry for the Colorful Options Challenge, serving up some serious design team vibes; June’s color of the month is peach. But that’s not all!

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a pleasant Thursday! Recently, I designed a new card inspired by the Honeydukes Candy Shop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I drew inspiration from the shop’s delightful candies and color scheme to create a fun and vibrant layout. Although the stamp and sentiment are from a retired set from Craftin’ Desert Divas (which has unfortunately closed), they fit perfectly with the theme. The little girl on the card reminds me of the playful characters from Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph movie. I chose to keep the Copic coloring simple by only using two shades of each color for shading. To add texture to the white paper in the background, I used an embossing folder from Michaels that was purchased many years ago. I also created a unique design for the cut-outs background using Cricut Design Space, while the striped pink paper came from my personal stash.
As it is the beginning of May, there is a new challenge at Park Hopping My Happy Place. “Sugar Rush, Anyone?” is my Designer Spotlight contribution.

Hi everyone! Welcome to another month on the Park Hopping My Happy Place Challenge. Thank you for participating in last month’s challenge. We would be delighted if you could join us this month as well.
This card was inspired by Figment at Epcot and the Beastly Kingdom at Animal Kingdom, located in Orlando, FL, USA. Despite the fact that the Beastly Kingdom was never constructed, there are still numerous reminders of the imaginary land scattered throughout the park.
Park Hopping is excited to announce that we are hopping over to a refreshing and cool destination for inspiration this month: Blizzard Beach in Orlando, FL, USA! As always, please keep in mind that our pictures are intended to inspire your creativity. We enthusiastically invite entries inspired by any theme park, no matter where it is located in the world.
