May | 2025 | Park Hopping, My Happy Place

We have our Center Stage Designers for April!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in last month’s challenge! Thank you so very much for your kind words, prayers, and patience. It is truly appreciated. Without further ado, here are our winners…

#4—Carianne, inspired by the Animal Kingdom Park. This little dragon with his pig apron is perfectly paired with the sentiment!😹 It reminds me of the ride “The Dueling Dragons” that use to be down the road from Animal Kingdom at Universal.

#27—Yvonne, I love her use of ephemora & layers! Her fairies remind me of Disney’s Fairies that once roamed Pixie Hollow.

#37, Becca was inspired by Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in Epcot. I love her layout and layers. I can just see Remy & Emile grinding some coffee.

Congratulations!

Episode XXVIII

A New Union

It is a time of creative exploration.
Crafting enthusiasts, inspired
by the magic of theme parks, have united
to embark on a new challenge with
the designers at the Colorful Options Challenge.

During this month, crafting
artists manage to create design
projects for Park Hopping’s
ultimate challenge, GALAXY’S
EDGE, an inventive Urthhean
outpost with enough theming to
enchant any guest.

Inspired by the Empire’s
sinister agents, Makira
and Eden race home toward their
craft room, custodians of the
true spirit of the challenge that can motivate
their followers and ignite
crafters expression to explore
the theme park universe…..

CZ was inspired by the theme of this month’s inspiration board, hello Tatooine.

Eden’s inspiration comes from the colors in this month inspiration image.

Makira, is clearly inspired by Galaxy’s Edge & the Mandalorian.

A vast world of inspiration serves as the backdrop for this challenge,
from the iconic thrills of the Magic Kingdom
to the epic landscapes of faraway galaxies.
What will inspire your crafting journey?
Crafters are free to join forces below in the inLinkz
or use the realm of Instagram @parkhoppingmyhappyplace.

The tremendous change of words settles on a lone blog, Park Hopping My Happy Place, a craft challenge with theme park charm whose verbiage changes monthly. Its lexicon’s shift gives it an air of a simple, but lovable script from a noted storyteller. Wait? Who is it? Over here! Guess! Please, guess! Below!

May the 4th Be With You!
