Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!! Hope everyone has a fantastic day full of love and happiness! 
I have a little card to share that used DCWV Stack-a-Holic sketch for a card. Here is the sketch. 
And here is my card I made for my husband Michael! 
The papers I used were DCWV Once Upon A Time. I also used a piece from their Foiled Vellum pack. The doilie came from my stash. I used a rub on from my stash in the middle and on the edges I went around it with it with my Tim Holtz Distress Sickles Antique Bronze to give it some sparkle. 
On the inside I wrote "If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you" 
So that's my card. Tomorrow I shall return with a new layout. 
Once again everyone have a great Valentines Day! 
Until next time!!

I'm Late Challenge

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Mine went pretty well. I have a layout to share with all you lovely people. This challenge was from the Disney Scrapbooking group I'm part of. It was to use the colors of the White Rabbit. Here are the colors. 
And here is what I came up with. 
For this layout I went with October Afternoon Thrift Shop. I lined the top and bottom with a silver ribbon and then in the middle of each used some olive Washi Tape. I completely forgot about my Washi Tape! But since I have reorganized my stuff I have my tape out and plan to use it more! 
Time for me to go back to my area and do some more layouts now! 
Until next time!!

February Stack-A-Holic Challenge

Hello everyone! Hope everyone's February is going well! I ended up only getting 19 layouts done last month but that just means I gotta work a little harder this month at my goal! And so far I have one done! This layout is for DCWV Febuary Stack-A-Holic challenge. Here is the sketch. 
And here is my layout using it. 
Since Febuary is the month of love, it seemed perfect to use a wedding photo! 
For this layout I went with DCWV Once Upon A Time. I also used DCWV Foiled Vellum paper for one of the banners. The hearts I stamped some of my dictionary papers that my mom punched out for me and then lined them with my silver paints. Holy cow was that hard! Took forever to even out the paint. But I think it turned out pretty good for my first try! The title came from my stash of Thickers. 
Well it's time for me to go back down to my work area and get some more layouts done! 
Until next time!!

Winter fun

Hey there gang! It's still snowing here and boy do I love it! We have about 6 inches from the last storm and it's suppose to snow again on Sunday so we shall see! The puppies though don't like the cold. In fact they think it's torture that I drag them out far so they are in the snow. But they look so adorable out there.
I used two Scraptastic kits. The December kit, It's the Most Wonderful Time and the January kit Sweater Weather. I love how these two kits go together so well! For inspiration I used the January sketch on the Scraptastic blog. 
Here I used the Scraptastic Club September This Girl add on kit. I don't have them main kit but I kind of wished I order it after seeing the add on kit in person. The title came from my stash. I can't believe I hadn't scrapped those photo because I love how the castle looks at night.
The last layout I'm sharing today is from the a Flower and Garden food booths. We ended up eating around the world and it was amazing! The first booth we ate at was Urban Farm Eats. This was the Tilapia dusted with Ghost Pepper. Oh my goodness this was amazing! This was our favorite thing to eat out of everything we tried. I had been wanting to scrap my food ohotos for a while but I was having a hard time finding papers that I liked for it. Something clicked though when I saw these papers. This is Pink Paislee London Market. The letters came from my stash. I wish I had taken pictures of the menu so I did the next best thing by writing the menu out. 
So that's it for now. I'm so close to my goal of 20 layouts for the month of January. I'm sitting at 19 right now. But I have one already in the making so piece of cake! 
Until next time!!

Hello hello!

Aloha everyone! Hope everyone is having a fantastic start of the week. I know I have been super busy the last couple days! Finally got the Christmas stuff down and put into the storage unit, decided to rearrange the living room and even did some major grocery shopping! Oh yeah and also rearranged my scrapping area! Now that the Christmas totes were out of the basement I decided it was time to buy a shelving unit for my stuff because my little table was becoming way to crowded! Here is the new and approved area!
I still have the buttons to sort through and a little more papers to organize but for the most part it's complete! 
I haven't had a chance to go down, mainly because it was just last night I did but have no fears... I have some layouts to share that I did last week! 
The first one is from Kennedy Space Center. Michael loves space so I wanted to make sure we had a chance to go there. While on one of the tours, I saw the sign that said everything past the fence was restricted area. Of course our little hands had to be Rebels and go into this area! And naturally we had to catch on camera to have photo proof that Michael hands were in a restricted area. Have no fears I have photos of my little also going into this area. I used the line October Afternoon Rocket Age. This was something my mom recently gave me and as soon as I saw this, I knew that this line was perfect for all my KSC photos! 
Here is a favorite layout of mine. I used my September Scraptastic Kit We Will Rock You. When I saw the star on the paper on the big circle, I knew right away I wanted my title to be about wishing upon a star. 
 
For my last layout I'm gonna show today it's going to be of my little critters Jasmine and Belle. They absolutely love being in a blanket and of course look just simple adorable while lounging around. This was my January Scraptastic Kit Sweater Weather that I used for this layout. 
That's it for now. I do have a few more layouts to share within the next couple days. And sometime soon I will get down in my scrap area and create some layouts! 
Until next time!!!!

All around Disney!

Good morning!! I couldn't think of a cathey title... Epic fail. But I do have some more Disney layouts to share. I told you the other day that my goal for this is to get 200 layouts done. And so far I'm up to 13. Busy little bumble bee I have been!  But of course I won't share them all today. Gotta keep some squirreled away in case I start to slack off I can still look impressive! 
This first one is of course about the amazing game Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom. The paper I used is... The map of the game. So fancy! I took some off the cards that we had triples of and added them to the layout as well. Then a key that does nothing and behind that key is a secret journaling envelope. To sum up the journaling, since I don't have it in front of me, is how we started playing because we weren't use to the crowds off Spring Break. So I figured we could give this game a shot. Never did I imagine that we would become obsessed with it! Seriously it's an awesome game and you should really give it a try next time your at Walt Disney World. 
Seeing everyone working on Christmas stuff of course made me want to work on one. But I don't have any pictures printed out for Christmas so I came up with a different route,  Disney's Days of Christmas store! Everything on this page came from my December Scraptastic Kit, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. 
Next up we move on over to Animal Kingdom! This of course is the Simple Stories Say Cheese line. Can't wait for Say Cheese part 2 to come out!!! 
For my final layout we head on over to Sci Fi Dine In Theater located in Hollywood Studios formally known as MGM. Love the food here and you get to sit in these awesome cars and watch old movie clips! In fact, Michael and I loved this place so much that we returned to eat here again later in the week! The waiter was kind enough to bring us a cupcake which of course was delicious! I will say this about Disney, they really know how to make you feel special for whatever you are celebrating. Plenty of people go there to celebrate and yet they go out of their way to make things special! Go Disney!! Anywho, the papers and embellishments came from the August Scraptastic Kit, Boys of Summer.
That's it for now! Have no fears I shall be back soon though! Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
Until next time!!

Try the grey stuff it's delicious...

Don't believe me ask the dishes!! Like I said before, for our wedding dinner we ate at Be Our Guest. The inside was beautiful. It looked just like the inside of Beast's castle. Disney did an amazing job with the design. 
As soon as I walked in, I was mesmerized. And therefore took about a million photos of the inside. Once we were done eating we were allowed to wak around to the other two rooms. 
This is the ballroom, which was where we ate. This room was beyond words amazing. All that was missing was Belle and the Beast dancing. Though the Beast did walk through a few times. I used DCWV Old World for this layout. 
This was the Rose Gallery. I really wanted that tapestry which was available in one of the gift shops. However it was a little on the pricy side. Again the papers I used were DCWV Old World 
The final room is of course the West Wing. Every so often the portraitwould quickly flash and transform into the Beast. However I was unable to get a good picture of it happen. This room also had the enchanted rose in it which was amazing of course! These papers of course were DCWV Old World. 
That's it for sharing tonight. Have no fears though I still have plenty more layouts to share. I told you I have been a busy little bumble bee the last couple days. But I will save those for another day. 
Until next time!!
