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! 

Elephants and Zebras and Okapis... Oh my!?!

Ok so maybe that doesn't sounds as impressive as "Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!" But it sure got your attention! Though it was a strange assortments of critters so it might still be impressive. 

First off Happy Ultimate Pi day! For those not familiar  with any of that Pi is of course 3.14, which is today's date. Now once every century, the next numbers in the sequence appear as the date so 3.1415. Now for super duper ultimate fun at 9:26 will be the next set of numbers in the sequence so 3.1415926.  Pretty spiffy huh? 

Now you have learned something for the day so back to our Safari critters. 

All of these layouts were with Bo Bunny Safari which I can't tell you enough how much I absolutely love! 

And here are some close ups so you can enjoy the details of this line

And now for Some Zebras. 

And another close up of the amazing details. 

And last but not least The mystical Okapi. 

We got pretty lucky on our Safari and was able to see him because normally during the day they are hiding. And here is some detail from the layout. 

Well that's it for now. So far for the month I know I have 10 layouts done. Trying to make it so I have a layout done for each day this month so I'm almost caught up! 

Until next time!!

DCWV March Stack-a-Holic challenge

Hello hello! See I told ya I'm on a roll this month! Go me!! Our anniversary on Tuesday went fantastic. We had Outback for dinner which of course was delicious! Love me some shrimp and steak!! Yum yum! 

Anywho, today I am here to share my layout for this month's DCWV challenge. Here is the sketch. 

And here is my take on it. 

The papers I used were DCWV Old World. I also used some embellishments from Simple Stories Say Cheese and Say Cheese II. 

These photos are actualy from our very first trip in September 2010. I was looking for a different photo and stumbled upon these. As soon as I saw them I knew that these pictures would work well for this sketch. Instead of having several small photos, I ended up using two bigger photos and fill in with some embellsihments. I made sure to pick little phrases that were fun since that's what these photos are of fun! 

I also got a chance to use some fancy scissors for the first time to cut some of the papers. 

Well that's it for now! I do have some other layouts to share but that shall share another day. 

Until next time!!

525600 have passed...

Good morning everyone! One year ago today, and almost down to the minute as I write this, Michael and I were standing at Sunrise Terrece in Wilderness Lodge saying "I Do". It's been an amazing year and boy did it go fast! So Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband, Michael, and too many many more!! 

Of course our first anniversary couldn't go without having something to do with Disney. This past Sunday we went to Disney On Ice! I have never been before and it was so much fun! 

Me with my sweet Olaf snow one holder. 

Here is the grand finale when everyone comes out! 

And afterwards we went to dinner to a buffet where they were serving, among other things, crawfish. I never had one so naturally I had to try it but first a little fun. 

He was trying to visit his crab and shrimp friends. 

Such a goofball!

Anywho, as promised here are the last few layouts from my wedding album. The first anniversary is actualy the paper anniversary. So my gift to Michael was this completed album. 

Here is the family watching the ceremony. For this I used DCWV Once Upon a Time. 

And here is the family at the end of the ceremony. Here I used Simple a Stories Say Cheese and Say Cheese II. Love that the added a second addition to the Say Cheese line. 

Here I used my October Scraptastic Kit Heart It Races. 

And the final layout which I also placed as the final layout of the album. 

Once again I used DCWV Once Upon a Time. I also used a few different Thickers from my stash to create the title, which I thought was fitting to the end of my Fairty Tale Wedding Album. I added the ribbon at the bottom and some gems since that Aqua was the color theme. 

Well that's all! Don't fret I still have tons of photos to scrap of the rest of this adventure! 

Until next time!!

I haven't disappeared!

Hello people! I am so sorry I have neglected  you. I pinkie promise I didn't mean too, I just kept forgetting to update. But I promise I have been working hard on so many layouts! I have even completed my entire wedding album and even organized it! Of course I'm not going to share them all at once! In fact the wedding ones I will share tomorrow which happens to be... Our first anniversary! It's so amazing that it has already been a year! But more on that tomorrow. For now here are some layouts to tie you over till then! 

Here is one using my new Simple Stories Enchanted. I love this line and so excited that it has finally arrived at my doorstep! Of course this goes perfect with meeting princesses! Can't wait to use more of it! 

And in fact here is more of the Enchanted line! I absolutely love that castle in the corner! I definetly need more of that castle in my life! 

And for my final layout to share is more new product! This is Bo Bunny Safari. I have been struggling for a while to find some paper to go with all my amazing photos that I took on the Safari. As soon as I saw this... I knew I needed it in my life! It works so amazing on the African Safari. Thank goodness because we have so many pictures! Not to mention all the photos we take when we go to the zoo which is often since we have season passes! 

Well that's it for now. Like I said I will be back tomorrow to share the final layouts of my wedding album! 

Until next time!!
