Doodle Challenge, Nick Jr. Style!

Wow, I can't believe I'm the last one to finish this challenge! I literally just finished this page 5 minutes ago, and I really like it. I've been dying to make a page honoring Eleana's big love for Yo Gabba Gabba!, and finally had the chance to do so thanks to this awesome challenge.

Sharon posted a link to the page we "scraplifted," though I think mine turned out less like the original than any of them. Sorry girls. I hope you like it!



I got a Bamboo Fun pen tablet for an early birthday/late anniversary gift, and used it to create all my doodles digitally. I think if you click on the image it'll get bigger so you can see it more. I included lyrics from Eleana's favorite Yo Gabba Gabba! songs, images of some of the characters, the show's logo, etc. At the bottom I stamped, "My name is Eleana, I like to dance." For those of you who haven't seen the show, periodically throughout the 30 minutes they show clips of children saying that phrase and doing dances.

The journaling was hand written also, and reads: If it's a weekday and 11:30, be sure we're watching Yo Gabba Gabba! Eleana knows all the songsa nd applies the lessons to every day life - if she bumps into us she sings the "sorry" song. She beat boxes along with Biz, learns new dances, and makes her funny face. She knows it all and loves each character dearly. Now, who wants to dance?

I loved this challenge Sha! Who's next?

scraplifting squealer

Hi ladies! Nichole here. I think I need to clear something up here. I guess some of you don't fully read the posts (Sharon the skimmer) which leads you to assume that everything I post is of my design. It's not! I'm an addicted scraplifter! Much like a shoplifter, I see a page design I like, I take it! To be honest, I'm struggling with my creativity. Designing pages is something I'm working on. I don't feel as a scrapbooker or as an artist that design the page is my strong point. If I want to go anywhere I need to begin designing things on my own.

Until then, if you see something like this:

Or if I use the word "INSPIRATION" I'm hinting that I copied the design of another page. I like to give credit where credit is due, which is why I display the originals when I can. Pictured above is an example of a dyptic photo mosaic I created with my Flickr.com account. The yellow page on the left is by the lovely and very talented Mikaela2005 on Flickr. The green page is my recreation of that, using a photo of my husband.

So, in my latest post proof Nicole commented she liked both of my pages. Only the first page is mine. I explain that within the post, but y'all skim when you read. The second page is by the lovely Rita, whom I met through Scrapologie.com. You can view the original as she posted it here.

Does that clear some things up a bit? I hope so!
