Hakuna Mata and Happy Creating!

Inspired by theme parks, full of joy and thrill, where imagination soars, and dreams fulfill.

This month’s adventure takes us on a ride, to Kilimanjaro Safari, where wonders abide.
Animal Kingdom Park, a magical place, where creatures roam freely, with elegance and grace.

Animal Kingdom, Disneyworld, Orlando FL, USA

Behold the giraffes, tall as can be, their necks reaching high for all to see.
And the lions, so mighty, their roars fill the air, their presence commands respect with a regal flair. Across the globe, theme parks abound, with animal attractions, quite renowned. But the savanna’s beauty, oh, it’s supreme, a spectacle unmatched, like a magical dream.

So grab your paints, your pencils, your pen, let your creativity roam, let it ascend.
Unleash your imagination, let it take flight, like a wild wildebeest, in a swift, joyous plight.

In the realm of rhyme and whimsy, I say, “Join us, dear friends, in a grand quest today!”
For a treasure awaits, so precious and fine, a gift card from Scrapbook.com, divine!

But hold on tight; there’s more to unveil, another endeavor, a riddle to prevail.
Unravel the enigma, the author’s name, and an Amazon gift card shall be your claim!

Fate’s hand is at play, where chance and knowledge meet, rewards aplenty for the worthy to greet. Oh, dear participants, may luck be your guide, as you journey through challenges, side by side.

Oh, dear friends, gather near, gather close, for tales of talent and wonders, I propose.
Our designers they’ve toiled, oh so tirelessly, creating marvels and magic, for all to see. Marvel at their creations, their works so divine, let their art captivate, oh, let it shine!
If their masterpieces touch your heart, oh so sweet, visit their profiles, leave comments, a treat.

In this fortunate time, let us rejoice, for the extraordinary Makira, let’s raise our voice!
She’s crafted not one, but two, oh, what a feat, both artist and guest designer, truly elite. So let’s come together, like a creative band, appreciating their art, hand in hand.
For in this community, we’re blessed, it’s true, with gifted souls like Makira and all of you!

For all the vintage movie enthusiasts out there, Makira has crafted a stunningly vibrant card in honor of the retired ride, The Great Movie Ride, at Hollywood Studios in Florida, USA. The use of bright yellows and blues truly captures the spirit and energy of the classic movies that the ride celebrated.
I received a charming theme park card created by Eden. The tickets featured on it brought back memories of the Ticket books used at Magic Kingdom in Disneyworld, FL.
You’ll stumble upon The Jungle Cruise at the tail-end of Makira’s vibrant rainbow, a punbelievably enchanting spot. Back in the 1950s, Giraffes adorned the treetops, adding a tall order of elegance to the ride. Unfortunately, they had to giraff off the stage.

With hearts full of gratitude, let’s spread cheer, to the designers who make this place so dear. Leave lovely comments, like petals on a breeze, in this magical realm, where artistry frees.

Share your creation, for all eyes to behold, Add a link to the Inlinkz, oh so bold! Or post on Instagram, with the hashtag so fine, #parkhoppingmyhappyplace, let your art truly shine.

We’re eager to witness what you will create, the art that will captivate, inspire, and elate.
Hakuna Matata, let worries be gone, embrace the challenge, and create until dawn. Happy creating, dear friend, may your artwork shine, with colors and whimsy, let your talent entwine. The challenge awaits; it’s time to begin, in the spirit of joy, let the theme park fun win!

Oh, what a twist, what a curious game, the words have transformed, never quite the same. In the style of a wordsmith, so celebrated and grand, can you guess who crafted this whimsical band? Scribble down your guess, let your thoughts unfurl, and a splendid prize awaits, for the one who can twirl, the clues in their mind, like a fantastical dance, and deduce the wordsmith, with a lucky chance.

With joy and excitement, we eagerly await, the wonders you’ll create, the art you’ll create. May the theme parks inspire you, in every way, to bring forth your masterpiece, this fine day!

  1. The wordsmith challenges are so clever! I’ll guess Dr. Seuss…hehe! I love the card inspired by The Great Movie ride! It was one of my favorite rides! Looking forward to playing along again this month!

    • Michelle, I know that ride was the best! I want to like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, but it’s just not as good as The Great Movie Ride. Thanks for playing this month. I will announce the actual answer to the wordsmith challenge next month. All guesses are an entry into the random.org give away. Thank you for playing! Cheers, Makira

  3. It’s gotta be Dr. Seuss! (And I love how your name is woven right into one of the verses, Makira! I think the Dr. would approve of this work of wordsmithing!) TFS Kathy from myasperations

  4. Such adorable cards!! Love the singing in the rain, ferris wheel and giraffes!! I think the author could be Lewis Carroll only because of Jabberwocky and that it was an adventure. The others answer of Seuss is a good one for the rhyming part because we all loved those books for ourselves as well as for our kids!! Such fun!!
