May | 2023 | Park Hopping, My Happy Place

Welcome back, everyone. Let’s be inspired by our favorite parks!

This challenge is an

ANYTHING GOES INSPIRED BY or RELATED TO A THEME PARK

Park Hopping is hopping over to Epcot in Orlando, FL, USA, this month. May flowers are in bloom at Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival. Along with their normal gorgeous foliage in the park, during the Flower and Garden Festival, they add these spectacular topiaries as well. It wouldn’t be an Epcot festival if you didn’t have a chance to sip, stroll, and savor good food and beverage. Do you have a favorite Spring flower? or food? Let us know below in the comments!

Park Hopping My Happy Place’s lovely supporters love pin trading and generously give away a theme park-purchased pin and a 6×6 paper pad. This month’s pin is Hello Kitty, and the paper pad is“Floral Impressions” by Whimsy Stamps. All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win!

Our designers have been busy this month. Please remember to click on the person’s name and leave these wonderful girls some comment love.

Our guest designer for the month is Cheryl at Even More Scrapping!

Chery is an avid scrapbooker. Her designs are stunning. Here she clearly is inspired by The Secret Lives of Pet’s ride at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Eden’s created this card using Lawn Fawn stamps and diecuts, pan pastels, and distress oxide inks. The castle reminds her of Cinderella’s Castle in Magic Kingdom at Disneyworld, FL, USA.

Makira loves paper crafting. This card, worthy of Owl Post, was created using Lawn Fawn stamps & Gina K’s wreath builder. It reminds her of Owl Post at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios, Orlando, FL, USA.

To join us, all you have to do is take out your art and craft supplies, make something theme park inspired, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post or post on Instagram #parkhoppingmyhappyplace.

I can’t wait to see what you create this month! Check out our inspiration page if you need more help to spark your creativity.
