March allready?

Can't believe that it is already March! Wow! Still working on Disney LOs, I have many more to complete. Oh Ellie

went traditional Disney with this LO. Sweet Elie is a ball of energy & I was able to get some fun shots of her on Tom Sawyer's Island. We had to really keep an eye on her because she kept trying to take off to explore on her own.

Supplies: Cardstock: Colorbok; PP: DCWV & Sandylion; glittery letters : MM; Minnie Mouse: Jolees. Basically I took my inspiration from the Minnie dress that Ellie was wearing. I do wish that I would have gotten a shot of her shoes though, they were darling!



Aloha Donald, Hang Ten

For this LO I played around with beach elements to reflect Donald's surfing garb.

Supplies: PP: DCWV; journaling tag; De ja View; cb shapes; Heidi Grace; letters : SEI ( I outlined the letters with black to help them stand out a little more); flowers range from Prima, MM to Oriental Trading.

On another note: One of my cyber friends, Carol, was kind enough to award my blog a Stylish Blogger award. Over the course of the week I plan on repaying that kindness to 3 other fabulous bloggers, so stay tuned!

We are all a Little Mad here!

Another Disney LO. I still need to add the journaling but I am out of ink so I will have to add it later. Here is the journaling:
Visiting the Mad Hatter & Alice was so much fun! When Sophia first approached them with autograph book in hand, the Hatter says "Oh good, A story!"
Alice replied "Oh Goody, I love a good story. But there are no pictures"
Sophia retorted " no. it's not a story. It's an autograph book. I need you to write your name"
"Where? Right here?" the MH asked. Sophia kindly replied "Yes Please, your name here."
Then the Mad Hatter proceeded to write......YOUR NAME HERE. too fun!
I am continuing on my journey to have better titles but I have to admit...this title was pretty easy to come up with! I used a mix of letter stickers for the title : Making Memories, KI Memories & American Crafts; the solid cs is Bazzil; pp is BG & the swirly paper is from an M's paper stack that I have had for a very long time. I am not sure of the manufacturer.
Have a lovely weekend & I pray that you stay safe with all of this crazy weather we have been having!

starting to feel back to normal!

I am enjoying a nice cup of coffee & just easing back into the swing of things. I started coming down with what I thought was the flu on Fri. Sat, my day consisted of Ibuprofen & bed. By Sunday morning my throat started hurting & my worst concerns were confirmed...I had strep throat! I started taking antibiotics right away because, although the strep throat is no walk in the park, the rash that I tend to get is by far the worst! I am praying that I started the treatment soon enough that I can fore go that stupid rash all together! UGH!
On a much happier note. I did manage to complete a project before I got sick (this is just my first chance to post it) I altered a picture mat that I had hanging in my bathroom. We have an ocean theme in the master bathroom but the picture hanging in the room was from my dd's nursery. I had been meaning to change it for ages!

supplies: I am unsure of the manufacturer for the pp, the die cuts are Quickutz & MME, I also inked the edges of just about everything! I used Bazzill for the shapes to add a little texture.

Every one is a jumper

I had several pics from King Arthur's Carousel & I wanted to create some sort of movement to give the illusion that they were in motion so.... I staggered the photos rather than my usual linear line up.

I have been working on my titles , a self prescribed challenge. I am really working on making a little more effort with them ( rather than being so lazy & just tacking them on as an after thought).

I used a mixture of products: the pp is from Recollections & Disney, the foam letters are a $ tree find (awhile back), the border sticker is from Ki Memories & the chip board is from a kit that I picked up at Joanne's a few years ago. Had fun with the color palette & chose bright & cheery hues to showcase all the energy of the day! just in case you are unsure what the title refers to: Each horse on King Arthur's Carousel is a jumper. In most carousel's they have a selection of jumpers & horses that

remain stationary.

the winners are:

I had the kids pick the winners. I put all the names in a hat & these are the names that they drew: VanEvera, Charli, Lady of the Lake & Kath. Now all I have to do is get your addy's & I can send the little tokens of scrappy goodness out. Everyone was so kind in their postings...thank you to all who participated in the blog hop. That was my first but I am sure that it won't be my last! Thanks all...so much fun & so many talented gals!
I have started scrapping my Disney LOs! Yay! Not quite as good as being there but almost! Remembering all of the amazing moments we had & recording them...so fun!
The first LO I titled "You Are my Princess" I had to adapt a letter to make the r, I also kinda wish that I had a small e rather than large, oh well. What I love most about this LO is that my dear daughter did not really want to have her photo taken with the princesses (she wanted to be riding rides) but since all of her cousins were seeing them, she went along. She feels that she is too old for the princesses. I love this Lo because it tells her that no matter how old she gets....she will always be my princess.

The boys in Disney California. I used Fancy Pants patterned paper. I am going to include hidden Mickeys on all of my Disney LOs. The Mickey's in this LO are not so hidden but can you find old Mouse Ears in the above?

Blog Hop

I had hoped to get this posted last night but I didn't quite make it! One of the things that I enjoy making with my scrapbook scraps are gift bags. I love creating personalized bags for the different holidays. They are a great way to use up all of those scrappy odds and ends that we collect! As far as the supplies that I used, I used a variety of different manufacturers. Most of the patterned paper is from K&Co, the glitter stickers are from Target $ spot from a few years ago, the heart sticker border is BG, the "Be Mine' paper clip is Making Memories & the cb letters are American Crafts.
In yesterday's post I offered up some prizes for title help. The challenge continues...I will compile all of the comments and choose a few winners randomly. For those that didn't read yesterdays post. I am horrid at titles & would love for you guys to post some tips that work for you!
Adele's's blog is the next location on our hop:

Blog Hope tommorrow

In anticipation of the blog hop I am running a bit of a test. I created this LO of the hubs with our dear daughter. I love that Sophia is a "hand holder".

I used a mix of supplies for this LO: pp: BG blush & MME, the stickers are BG & the letters are American crafts (cb) & sei. I used the same Cricut cart that I used for the Valentines' to make the scalloped heart (I punched the holes w/ my crop-o-dile) .

On a somewhat related note, titles are not my strength so I have been working on changing that! I am challenging myself to come up with stronger more visually appealing titles. Generally my titles are tacked on at the end...an afterthought. Oddly enough my give away will be about titles so, think about some great tips to give me that you can post in my comment section. I will tell ya more about it tommorrow!
