Hello Friends, and WELCOME to the very first challenge here at

PARK HOPPING, MY HAPPY PLACE

This challenge was inspired by the numerous crafters and artists drawn to theme parks’ fandom and artistry.

Although Bakken or Dyrehavsbakken, located in Denmark, is the oldest amusement park in the world, opening in 1583, the most well-known theme park is Disneyland.

“Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past…and here, youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future.…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.”

This challenge’s theme is anything goes- theme park inspired. It is a monthly challenge, and any craft or art is welcome. For more information, check out our rules.

Here are some inspirational projects from our Designer Spotlight, Popsiclesticks, and Makira.

Popsiclesticks, made a vivid box card and peg dolls with her original artwork. Harry and Luna represent Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FL, USA. She made the box card using Copic Multiliner and Copic Markers. Her beautiful peg dolls are her own creation from wood and acrylic paints.
Makira made a card using The Sassy Club’s Sassy Kiki’s stamp and some Copic coloring. Kiki and Jiji represent Ghibli Park in Nagakute, Aichi, Japan. She also added a vibrant background with Tim Holtz’s Distress Inks and Foundry Wax.
Makira made a CAS card with her digital artwork, foiling, and acrylic painting. Commander Vill represents Hollywood Studios, Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, USA.
