Greetings, my dear park-loving friends! How lovely it is to have you back for another month of creativity and inspiration.

This challenge is open to anything that sparks your imagination and is inspired by or related to a theme park. What fun!

For this month, we are staying in sunny Orlando, FL, USA, and taking a refreshing dip at Blizzard Beach Waterpark, Disneyworld, FL. With the summer heat bearing down on us, a waterpark is the perfect place to stay cool. Blizzard Beach is a wintry wonderland with ski jumps, icebergs, and ski lifts, making it a unique and thrilling waterpark experience.

Park Hopping My Happy Place’s delightful supporters, in their whimsical ways, have embarked upon a delightful alteration this month. Verily, the blog hath assumed the cloak of a renowned wordsmith, with each passing moon witnessing a fresh embodiment of linguistic flair. A tapestry of verbal creativity, woven with threads of imagination, shall grace these digital pages henceforth. But lo, there is yet another transformation! The treasures to be won have multiplied twofold. Beyond the traditional inLinx entry, a prize awaits the astute mind that unravels the enigma of the esteemed author whose essence permeates these lines. Fear not, for the hand of randomness shall select the victors, granting all an equal chance to claim the coveted spoils. Thus, let thy imagination take flight, dear participants, and may fortune smile upon thee in this enchanting realm of Park Hopping My Happy Place!

The fortunate recipient of the inLinkx shall be bestowed with a treasure in the form of a $25 gift card from Scrapbook.com, where the wonders of creativity await. Yet, there is another endeavor that beckons, for the intrepid soul who unravels the enigmatic author’s identity shall be rewarded with a $15 gift card from the bountiful realms of Amazon. Such is the nature of fate’s hand, where chance and knowledge intertwine to bestow their bounteous blessings upon the worthy. May luck be your ally, dear participants, as you embark upon this quest for recognition and rewards in the world of Park Hopping My Happy Place!

Our talented designers have toiled ceaselessly throughout this month, creating marvels and wonders for your delight. Should their creations captivate your heart as they have ours, we kindly request that you pay a visit to their profiles and sprinkle them with your lovely comments.

In this fortunate time, we find ourselves blessed with the extraordinary Eden. Not only has she crafted one, but two magnificent projects this month, assuming the responsibility of both artist and guest designer. We are truly fortunate to have such a gifted soul gracing our midst.

Eden is an avid crafter. Here she clearly is inspired by The Secret Lives of Pet’s ride at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Eden created this card using a retired stamp set from Crafting Desert Divas and Copics. The colors and sentiment remind her of Honeydukes Candy Shop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Florida.
Makira is a big fan of paper crafting. She created a beautiful card inspired by Figment from Epcot and the Beastly Kingdom from Animal Kingdom. Despite the fact that the Beastly Kingdom was never constructed, there are still numerous reminders of the imaginary land scattered throughout the park.

To partake in our merry company, dear artists and crafters, simply fetch your art and craft supplies and conjure something wondrous, infused with the spirit of theme parks. Share your creation by adding a link in the Inlinkz located at the bottom of this post, or grace Instagram with your masterpiece using the hashtag #parkhoppingmyhappyplace.

Ah, the thrill of anticipation! My heart leaps in joyful anticipation as I await the unveiling of your creations this month. And fear not; should you seek a gentle nudge to ignite your imagination, our inspiration page stands ready to kindle the creative fire within you.

As a jolly switch, the words to our post have transformed. They were concocted in the style of a celebrated wordsmith. Can you deduce who? Scribble down your guess below, and we shall select a particularly splendid prize for the one who gets it right.

May the enchanting allure of the theme parks you hold dear continue to bestow upon you boundless joy and serve as an everlasting wellspring of inspiration. Let the magic of your artistry illuminate the world, dear friends! Huzzah, Makira!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    • Ahhh….. she will be delighted to hear you think it is her. No, this is more of a take on a published author. Most of the authors chosen are well-known. However, right or wrong, you are still eligible for our giveaway. Cheers, Makira

  2. I’m going to guess Shakespeare. He would be the most celebrated author I know …
    And the inspiration from you & Eden is just darling; so fun!

    • Thank you, Becca! Your guess was a great one, but it wasn’t Shakespeare. However, I must say that Shakespeare is indeed one of our top “future” wordsmiths. I appreciate your participation in the guessing game, and whether your answer was right or wrong, rest assured that you are still on the drawing list for the prize. Your enthusiasm and engagement are truly valued. Keep up the amazing spirit!. Cheers, Makira

    • Good morning, Denise! We’re thrilled to have you on board for our wordsmithing challenge this month. Your enthusiasm and participation are greatly appreciated. While Charles Dickens is indeed a phenomenal writer, we’re aiming for a slightly different style this time around. Have an amazing day! Cheers, Makira

    • Hi Cheryl! Sir Walter Scott is a fantastic guess….. Not who I tried to pen this month after. However, I am adding him to my list of future wordsmiths. Have a great week! Cheers, Makira

  6. Dear heart, it was a true joy to read this post. My mind was set aflutter with ideas, yet the tumult brought nary a guess but one, the infamous Bard. Alas, he was already guessed and dismissed. My spirit is bereft, and shall not rest until the truth be revealed. Nay, let not be merely revealed, but may it rise with merry shouts from the rooftops, and Ferris Wheels, and Roller Coasters, and Castle Turrets across the land. And long into the twilight, may the winners celebrate their wisdom with Kettle Corn, and Cotton Candy, and mounded Ice Cream creations, as they click their cold steins of root beer together in revelry!
