PassPorter Scrapbook Challenge March *Winner Announced* - Page 2 - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!

Nala, Those pages are very beautiful! Very much your style! I love the ribbon flower and the fact that you used more than one picture on your second page! and they're color pics! I only hope I can use my ribbon as creatively for the challenge!

Thanks everyone for your kind words. And Cheryl, I usually dislike about 75% of my layouts, 20% of them are OK and there are a very few (like maybe 5%) that fall into the like a lot/love catagory. That is why I don't show them to many people but love showing them to you guys because you are so supportive.

They are beautiful! I love the colors and the layering - the design has depth.
And the journaling is so sweet - reminds me of my 7 year old with a mind of her own...(we only have a wind chill today in the teens and she wanted to wear a spring dress and dress shoes for school)!
I'm definitely going to have to file this idea away (if you don't mind). I think I will add a pocket to put in a scrap of fabric from the costume though! Hmmm - gives me more ideas!
Okay, okay - I went to Hobby Lobby today and bought some (*gasp*) ribbon....I have an idea for how to use it on a certain page....and don't expect too much! BTW, while I was looking at the ribbon (the clearance 59 cents a spool stuff) I found a few others which I figured I might as well pick up as well as the ones for my challenge page....OMG! Do you suppose I might just end up doing 3 or 4 pages again?
Nala, your pages are beautiful as always. The flower ribbon is such a pretty embellishment. Your pictures really pop on the background pages - wonderful color choices.
I've never used bottlecaps, I'm always afraid they'll be too bumpy in my albums (I use the CM strap-hinge albums).
I can't believe you don't like 75% of your work - but then again we all tend to be critical of our own scrapbooks, don't we?
Anyone who did a February Page would you please PM Sara (TravlinSara) with your addresses and Favorite color and she will get your prizes out. Thank you.

Master Ribbon Jedi Nala, how did your padawan do? I have to admit I copied from things you have done in the past.
My biggest concern was that the page looks too busy. Maybe I shouldn't have put the Memories ribbon across the bottom, but it looked a little bare without it. First I hand wrote Memories with a silver gel pen, but I didn't like the way it looked. So I covered it up with the ribbon.
I have to admit, it was fun! But more time consuming.
Shell, I love your ribbon/pockets page! What a great way to put all those little keepsakes in one place! Your ribbons are so pretty - very nicely Disney coordinated!
I'm still looking for inspiration to strike for my ribbon page!

Somebody hand me my lightsaber so I can cut off my padawan's braid and knight her! (OK, I so had to look that up as I have only seen the first three SW's )
Michelle, that page turned out great!!!! What a great way to include all those things we collect for our scrapbooks. And when did you come to IL and sneak into my ribbon stash? I how you did the titles with the first letter on a Mickey head. I'm going to file that idea away for future use. It is in no way too busy and the "Memories" ribbon across the bottom is perfect. I agree with you that without it, that spot would look bare. With it, the page is perfectly balanced.
It looks like you knotted the ribbon on the smaller pockets. I've never done it like that (at least I don't think I have) and I am going to have to try it. Plus, you put sticker letters on top of the ribbon (at least I think that's what you did). Another new idea for me!
I am very impressed with your layout. Great job and thanks for sharing!!!!!!!
Maggie, most of the ribbon I got at Hobby Lobby - on clearance for 59 cents a roll. I used Elmer's Craft Bond Acid Free memory Book Glue Pen to glue down the pockets.
