Hey remember me!!

Hey there everyone!! Terribly sorry I haven't been around. Just one thing after another and next thing I knew it's nearly May!! Please forgive my absence. 
See you just can't resist little Stitch! You have no soul otherwise. 
So I have worked on a couple layouts but I must confess that though I started the month strong, it did not end well. I only ended with 11 layouts for the month. Pretty sad seeing as which I went a week straight getting one done a day. 
But I do have something to share. 
This comes from April's Scraptastic Kit, I Lived. I really loved the colors and thought it would be perfect for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. And this was the evening of the wedding where we challenged each other on this game. So I had a clever moment with the title! Naturally I lost though because Michael Always does a fantastic job with these games! 
Anywho so Saturday is National Scrapbook Day! And I have the whole day off for it!! Over on the Disney scrapbook board I am apart of there are a ton of challenges for that day and hopefully I can hit them rough out the week and therefore have something fantastic to share with you lovely folks! 
It's going to be super exciting! Well that's it for now. I should get back to work. 
Until next time!!

April Stack-A-Holic Challenge.

Hey there gang!! I am here once again. I know I promised that I would write last week but it was a chaotic week. So better late then never. I'm here to show off my submission for DCWV stack-a-Holic challenge. Here is the sketch. 
When I first saw it I admit I wasn't inspired right away with it. I kept putting it off because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it yet. Then the thought bubbles finally came to me last night. And here is what I came up with. 
Originally I was planning to use photos from Enchanted Tales with Belle but didn't have the photos I wanted. But I stuck with the same theme and went with Be Our Guest.
The papers I used were actually from two different stacks, Once Upon A Time and Old World. I love how easily they combined with each other. Normally I'm too scared to combine different stacks because I'm terrible at matching but in my paper bin these two stacks were next to each other and there was an OMG moment! 
The background paper was from Old World but I really wanted to use the Once Upon A Time somewhere on the paper as well as the castle. But I wasn't feeling using the entire sheet as the background.  So I got fancy and combined the two. 
Such a fancy castle! 
I also wanted to add some glitter to the page. 
I went through and outlined the "O" and the "A" with some Brushed Pewter  Tim Holtz Distressed Sickle. Kind of hard to see from the picture but I promise it has a nice sparkle to it! 
So that's it for now. I still have plenty more to update you guys with so stay tune. 
Until next time!!

Oh hey there!

First let me say I hope everyone had an amazing Easter!! 
So I must confess that I was a complete bum for the month of March. I ended up only getting 10 layouts completed for the month. March just seemed to fly by and what little spare time I had I was just exhausted.  However April I have started out strong and already have 4 layouts done! So without further ado here is what I have been working on! 
This was using Simple Stories Enchanted. I started out knowing that I wanted to incorporate pink and blue into the layout, since that's what the fairies fought over. Then from there I picked out papers and embellishments that just jumped out at me. Up next is a 2 page layout I worked on. 

Both I once again used Simple Stories Enchanted. I just love how these are perfect for Princess photos. These actualy are from Princess Fairy Tale Hall. I found embellishments that added that extra bit of pop needed but yet let the photos speak for themselves. 
Well that's it for now. I should stop by later this week with some more layouts I worked on. This weekend is Comicon and I can't wait! This time I am dressing up and it's going to be amazing. Even Michael is going to dress up! Super epic!!
Until next time!
