October Center Stage Designers & Winner

Posted on October 31, 2024 by Makira

We have our Center Stage Designers for October!

#42—Yvonne. Inspired by Christmas, I love her scene and 3D effect. It reminds me of Christmas window displays of the past; some years they still adorn Main Street USA at Magic Kingdom in Disneyworld.

#47, Vivian, inspired by Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion. Vivian’s collage ability is amazing! Love all her layers and seamless incorporation of items. This journal page reminds me of Borgin & Burkes, Traders of Dark Objects and Oddities at Universal Studios, FL Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Diagon Alley (ok, Knockturn Alley)

#67 Lori—inspired by Halloween. I love her coloring and layout, especially the contrasting colors of the sky. Gorgeous! Her card reminds me of the witches from the movie Hocus Pocus, seen at the Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom in Disneyworld.

September Center Stage Designers & Winner

Posted on October 1, 2024 by Makira

We have our Center Stage Designers for September!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last month. Your participation made choosing the top three very challenging. Without further ado, here are our winners…

#7—Carianne. Inspired by pandas from the Ocean Park Panda Exhibit, I love her inky background and color choices. The water used with the inks somehow reminds me of the “street” artists who draw with water throughout Magic Kingdom in Orlando.

#52, Kathy, inspired by the inspiration board & coffee from around Disney’s parks. I love this little fairy nestled among the coffee. I can just imagine one of the fairies in Pixie Hollow sitting and sipping a morning coffee.

#72, Pyria inspired by the Mummy ride at Universal Studios. I love this CAS card and how she positioned the sentiment. The card absolutely reminds me of the actors that walk through this area of the park on stilts.

#92 Denise—inspired by the Secret Lives of Pets. Theme Park. I love her use of the block stamp in repetition. Although the inspiration comes from cats (my weakness), it also remind me of the scene from Harry Potter when the living room is full of cards “flying” around.

Congratulations!
