Your challenge should you choose to accept it this week is going to be a color inspiration challenge. I just love how people are posting their color inspirations in pintrest. so I thought I would incorporate that this week.
You can do your layout on anything disney related, but you must use the color inspiration ( or any variant shades lighter or darker if you wish). you may also add neutral colors white, black grey or brown.
Since Valentines is just a few days past i want to see LOVE! You MUST post love in the gallery for everyone that participates in this challenge.

Okay here is the color inspiration I chose

I dare you not to cry...

We Dare You Not To Cry: The Most Blubber Cry-Worthy Pixar Moments

That title was probably explanation enough. Let the blubber crying begin!
Everything Carl and Ellie
Young Carl and Ellie Up
Carl and Ellie Up
It’s just too sad. We don’t want to think about it anymore right now. That’s all we can really say about Carl and Ellie when there’s so many more great/sad moments to talk about.
Andy Says Goodbye to Woody
Andy and Woody Toy Story 3
This one hits close to home since we’ve seen how hard Woody has always worked to be there for Andy. After seeing Toy Story 3 through tearful 3D glasses, we bet you all ran home to be sure your favorite toy was still safe on the shelf or in a toybox.
Sulley Says Goodbye to Boo
Sulley and Boo Monsters, Inc.
This one is a two or three-parter, because you start getting teary when Sulley is finally able to get Boo back home, then a little sniffly when Boo tries to open the door after he leaves. BUT THEN, when Mike shows Sulley Boo’s reconstructed door and he opens it to an adorable VO from Boo, “Kitty!” resistance is futile, there is no not crying.
EVE Reactivates WALL·E
EVE and WALLE
The fact that EVE tried to save WALL·E was blubber cry-worthy enough, then when her attempt saves him, but not his memory—it’s all just too much for our tear ducts to handle. Thank goodness for a robot kiss that reactivates him–the robot version of that magical fix-all. Well done, Pixar.
Carl Gives Russell the Ellie Badge
Russell and Carl Up
Carl needed a new pal as much as Russell needed someone to help him earn his last badge. The result is an unlikely duo of adventurers that has us getting a bit teary-eyed.
Jessie Remembers Emily
Jessie Toy Story
The lighting, the falling leaves, the chance for a rekindled relationship, that brilliant “When She Loved Me” song: put it all together and you have one of the most heartbreaking montages we can think of.
The Beginning of Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo Nemo Egg
Andrew Stanton and crew didn’t even let us relax for a few minutes and enjoy the animation before they tugged at our collective heart strings. But what better way to demonstrate how big and scary the ocean is, and how much Marlin loves his son, Nemo, than the blubber cry-worthy intro to Finding Nemo.
Ok, this one is just too good…
End of Toy Story 3
…we had to mention Toy Story 3 again. Good thing Bonnie is so cute and imaginative, otherwise we might not have been able to handle Andy’s toy hand-off.
------------------
I have always loved disney movies, & I am not afraid to admit that I am a bawler... Even though my family likes to make fun of me about it.. I'll still admit it.. & I wouldn't change it!

Here are my top 20 blubber moments of disney movies:

 
1. Brave-I will admit it, I blubbered like a baby.
2. tinkerbell secret of the wings. two sisters that just wanna be together.. who didn't think this was sad?
3. when andy gave away his toys to bonnie. Every woman at the drive in I was at was crying.. even though hubby laughed at me for it.
4. you were my new dream.. awwww who doesnt want someone to say that to them?
5. poor ray was laid low... yep bawled! He was too sweet and that mean old voodoo man killed him!
6. stitch has a glitch.... oh yeah i cried... what? it was sad
7. finding nemo, after the fish eats almost all the babies and the mommy... come on every mom knows they cried. Thats a mothers love. to sacrifice to save her kidlets.
8. Alright Im seeing a theme here.. of course we have to add the hunchback of notre dame, when they take quisimodo from his mother.
9. when simba tries to wake up his dad after scar makes him fall in the stampede.. wahhhh!
10. im not sure which is worse, when bambis mom was shot or when his dad was going to send him away... but yep tears were flowing
11. you don't have a heart if you did not tear up in the opening part of up.
12. when the beast dies.. come on you know you were sad.
13. when meg dies for hercules
14. when the little mermaid finds out that eric is marrying someone else
15. mulan 2 shang makes the ultimate sacrifice to save mulan when the rope won't hold them both ... sniff sniff
16. kerchack finally tells tarzan hes proud of him... and dies... NOOOO
17. evil stepsisters destroy cinderellas chance to go to the ball... or do they
18. dumbo visits his mom in the cage
19. when sulley says goodbye to boo
20.. becuase I LOVE lilo & sitch (im adding stitch twice)... this one gets me every time. when nani and lilo are talking after there fight.

 Now it's your turn... hit that comment button and tell me your top blubber disney/ pixar moment!

How to win every argument ...ever

I had to repost this.. it's too cute. I LOVE walle*e. He's adorable and he just wants someone to hold his hand... how sweet is that? I think i may have to go rewatch it!
For WALL•E, easing tension can be as simple as a squeak. Cuteness overload is why we’ll be taking these leaves out of WALL•E’s book:

WALL-E 1
Extend an olive branch. Or the only living thing on your planet.

WALL-E 2
Ask questions. It’s okay to be a little clueless sometimes. It can literally bring an unruly argument back down to earth.

WALL-E 3
Offer to help. An earnest effort can soften any person or robot.

WALL-E 4
Know where you’re heading. Make sure the effort is worth it. Fighting for the love of your life seems legitimate.

WALL-E 5
Stay determined. Something will spark and get through.

WALL-E 6
Be adorable. It’s impossible to argue when your heart is melting.

What's your favorite part of wall*E?
And this poor lil guy

MO's computer: [after scanning Wall-E screen says 100%] Foreign contaminant!
MO: Huh? Whoa-whoa-whoa whoa whoa!
