December 2023

Step into a world of wonder, my friends, as we reunite once again. Let our favorite parks be the muse that ignites our imagination!

In this challenge, the possibilities are boundless, for it is an invitation to create ANYTHING that is inspired by or related to a theme park.

As our Park Hopping journey continues, our destination now lies in the enchanting realm of Hollywood Studios, nestled in Orlando, FL, USA. Oh, let us remember those bygone days when the studios shone with a resplendent glow of over three million Christmas lights, a sight to behold during the festive season. Alas, this tradition bid farewell to the park in 2016. Yet fear not, for within our hearts, we hold the memories of strolling through those illuminated streets, basking in the awe and joy of the attraction.

Pray, do you have a cherished place where holiday lights illuminate the wintry nights? Share your beloved destinations with us, for we yearn to hear your tales.

Behold, our industrious designers have toiled tirelessly this month. Remember, dear friends, to click on their names and shower these marvelous souls with your kind comments, for their creativity knows no bounds.

Eden’s created this card using Stamping Bella’s stamps, embossing powder, and distress oxide inks. The castle reminds her of the Made Tea Party Ride at Disneyworld, FL, USA.
Makira loves crafting. This painting, was completed with a host of Distress Paints and Foundry Wax. It reminds her of Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios,FL USA.

To join our merry gathering, all you need do is grasp your art and craft supplies, allowing your imagination to run free. Create something wondrous, inspired by the realm of theme parks, and share your masterpiece by adding a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post or posting it on Instagram using the hashtag #parkhoppingmyhappyplace.

Oh, the anticipation swells within me as I await the unveiling of your creations this month!

But wait, there is a twist, my dear friends. This month’s post has been adorned with the verbiage of a renowned author. Can you unravel the mystery? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and a special surprise gift shall grace the fortunate soul who guesses correctly.

So raise your glasses, my kindred spirits, and let the festivities commence! Together, we shall embark on a journey of artistic marvels, kindling the magic of our treasured parks. May inspiration guide your hand as you breathe life into your creations. I eagerly await the spectacle that lies ahead!

With boundless enthusiasm, Makira
