Mesmerized by Mickey

I'm on a digi scrapping roll this week!  I've created 8 pages and have an all day crop to go to tomorrow!  Whoop, whoop!!  Today I found this fun sketch over at MDS Monday and had to play along!  I scrapped a couple of cute Disney photos from years ago!


Seriously, could his face (and those cheeks) be any cuter?!  It's so sad how quickly they grow up!!  Our Disney vacations are definitely some great times to look back on!

Here's Anita's sketch that I used for my inspiration:


I love this sketch (almost as much as I love Anita's work!).  It came together quickly and enabled me to use lots of different paper.  Very fun sketch!  I used the sequins in place of the splatters and recolored them to Basic Gray.  I love how they look silver. :) 

Looking forward to getting some more scrap time in this weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!!

MDS Blog Hop


Happy Thursday!  It's time for another round of our MDS Blog Hop!  Our group of MDS-crazed designers are here to share what we've been working on in MDS.  I've been playing with the scraplift challenge again over at Splitcoast Stampers.  I was excited to scraplift Wendy this month.  I loved Wendy's layout so much that I cased it pretty closely - even down to the subject!!  Here's my version:


I LOVE this photo of my son hugging Minnie Mouse!  Disney memories are just so special! :)  In order to get the wave on the side, I started with an oval punch and altered it to get that shape.  I also had fun adding rhinestones to the circle punch. :)

Downloads used:
The Best Year, Back to School, Summer Home, Snowy Soiree, Glimmer Paper, The Split Second, Heart Punch, Basic Rhinestone Jewel
Fonts:  Waltograph, Marker Felt

Challenges are always a fun way to get your creativity going.  What are some of your favorite challenge sites?

We hope that our Blog Hop sparks your creativity as well.  Make sure and follow along and see what the other designers have been up to.  Next up is Beth Rush.  Click the button below to visit her blog.

Digi Scrapping with MDS Monday

Hi!  Last week I saw a sketch over at MDS Monday that I knew I wanted to use.  I always have multiple photos to include on a page and last week's sketch was a great one for that.  I had some time today and scrapbooked some old Disney photos:


These photos make me laugh!!  Every little expression on their faces is too funny!  I think my hubby was having more fun in the arcade than my son!!  lol!

MDS Downloads Used:
Everybody's Business, Petal Parade (arrow), Hello Perfection (arrows), World Traveler (car), Grateful Pocket Cards (sentiment), Candid Frames, Simples Stitches

Here is the sketch from MDS Monday that inspired my layout:


I wanted to make one of the photos bigger so you could see their faces a little better.  I didn't like how the photo looked in a circle punch, so I used circle stitches instead around the photo.  I love these filmstrips too - it's the first time I've used them!!  :)

Thanks for visiting and have a terrific Tuesday!!

Disney Layout for MDS Monday

Hi!  I was happy to find some creative time today!  I played along with the sketch challenge over at MDS Monday.  Here's the result:


We had a sketch to use and a challenge to use frames on our photos.  I really, really, really tried to use something other than the Downtown Grunge frames..... but, nothing else looked right!  They are my favorite frames and I use them all of the time!  I recolored them to coordinate with my layout.

Again... I'm going back in the photo archives and scrapbooking photos from a 2003 Disney trip!  This was the day we left to head to Orlando.  The boys were so excited and we were so happy with how good they were in the car for that long drive! :)

MDS Digi Downloads Used:
Back to School (Background Paper), The Best Year (sentiment), Downtown Grunge (frames), Midnight Cheer (Little star/firework looking images I cropped from a punch), Flag Punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch, Circle Punches (to make the Mickey head).
Fonts:  Waltograph, Janda Safe and Sound

Do you love to make cards but wish your envelopes coordinated?!  Do you like to make unique shaped cards but don't have an envelope to match?  Well.... Stampin' Up! has you covered!!


Introducing the Envelope Punch Board!!  I do not have this nifty tool yet but my mom does.  She just sent us the cutest anniversary card (18 years with hubby on Monday!) with a great envelope to match.  She likes to make big cards and she was able to make an adorable envelope with the Envelope Punch Board with coordinating DSP.  I love how the envelopes look using our double-sided DSP!!  Very fun and this is now on my wish list!!  (You can make 66 different envelope sizes?!)

You can see a quick video here on how it works!  Looks pretty easy to me!

MDS Blog Hop - Meeting Pluto

Happy Thursday!!  It's the 4th Thursday of the month and that means it's time for the MDS Blog Hop!  I am still on Cloud 9 that I was asked to join this wonderful group of MDS-obsessed ladies!  I have been busy creating lately and wanted to show you what I've been working on - since that's always the theme for our second hop of the month!




Yes... these pictures are from 2003....  Eeeek!  I am such a procrastinator when it comes to vacations and sports seasons where I have hundreds and hundreds of photos to scrap!  But I am determined to get these adorable photos off of my computer and into my scrapbook album!!

I love how this double page layout turned out - but that's probably because these photos are so stinkin' cute!  Nothing real fancy about this layout as I really wanted the focal point to be the photos and the journaling.  I thought the bright colors from The Best Year download would be perfect for this moment!

MDS Downloads:  The Best Year Photobook Template,  Number One, Bloomin Marvelous, Summer Home, This Makes Me Happy, Happy Life, Wonderfall
Fonts:  Waltograph, Boring Showers

Here's a look at what the layout will look like side-by-side in my album:


Don't forget to follow our Blog Hop to see some awesome creations!

Meeting the Mouse

I am slowly working on my cherished Disney photos from way back when.  I'm so glad I waited to scrap these because I'm really having fun with the digi layouts!  I did this layout using the sketch and challenge over at MDS Monday.  These photos make me smile every time I look at them!!  :)


This sketch was perfect because it gave me plenty of room for my journaling.  The other part of the challenge over at MDS Monday was to use the brush tool somehow on your layout.  I used the brush tool to "scribble" on the page and then add my journaling over it.  It was a nice way to make the journaling stand out.  :)

I used a hodgepodge of downloads on this layout.  The (red) background is actually from the Back to School kit.  I played with the opacity until it was similar to the red DSP from the Love Letter Kit.  And the little Mickey head I just made from three circle punches filled with black.  :)

And here's the sketch that this layout was based upon:


Don't forget that today is the LAST day to download the Perfect Polka Dots Kit for FREE!

You can download this kit in my online store HERE.

The retired list comes out tomorrow!!!  Make sure and check my website for details! These items usually go fast!!  

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully, creative day! :)

MDS Blog Hop - Monster Hugs


It's time for the MDS Blog Hop!  I'm excited to join these talented ladies again! For today's hop, I want to share you with you a layout for a Disney album I've been working on.  We have been to Disney numerous times and for some reason I haven't scrapped my photos from our 2002 trip!!  Can you believe it??  I have some incredibly cute photos from that trip too!  Here is my layout:


There's really nothing fancy about this layout but I absolutely love these photos!!  I get teary eyed every time I look at them and am so happy to get them scrapbooked.  My son, who was 3 at the time LOVED all of the characters at Disney World.  He carried around his little autograph book and every time we passed a character, we HAD to wait in that line (no matter how long it was).  It was so cute when he ran up and hugged these guys from Monsters Inc.  He looked so tiny next to Mike and Sulley!

I am on a mission to complete this album and am having so much fun reminiscing along the way!!  Do you have any photos that are so special you're waiting to scrapbook them?  Or am I the only one that does that?!  lol!
