Miles of Smiles - Disney Scrapbooking

Hi everyone!  Hope you are having a great day...for those of you in the US...Happy Presidents' Day.

Today I wanted to share with you a project I made with this fabulous sketch by Heather Landry....  This is sketch number 32 for Heather...hard to believe she has made so many...wonder how many I played along with?

Here is my take...from this past Christmas at Disneyland.  It isn't often that I get my photo with any of the characters since I am usually behind the camera...but this evening, at dinner, Minnie came up behind Phil and I and Mackenzie was able to snap this photo.
I used a bunch of older Disney papers along with my Cricut to put this together.  I really need to try and make better use of my supplies.  hee hee  And scrap more of the photos from our numerous Disney vacations.
Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my project.

Hugs.

Disney Scrapbooking

Hi everyone!  Nancy here!  Today I wanted to share with you a project I made using one of Heather's sketches.  I missed the deadline to share this last time, but the sketch was so cute I couldn't resist giving it a try.

While waiting for dinner at Goofy's Kitchen on our last trip to Disneyland Mackenzie and Goofy struck up quite the relationship.  There were repeated games of slide...followed by some serious games of slap.  Such a great way to pass the time.  And I was so happy that the children aren't bored yet with the whole Disney thing.  
I used lots of older EK Success embellishments as well as some gorgeous jeweled Mickey heads from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy store.

Hope you are having a great day!

Hugs.

Sandy Toes - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Well, Today I am back to share a layout I made with some of the yummy goodies I purchased at Your Memories Here.  Each Prima release I always am sure to pick up either a grab bag or a complete collection to play with.  From Summer CHA, I purchased a grab bag that came with some of the most amazing Zephyr collection goodies.

Sitting on the beach in Hawaii last summer, watching the children surf and relaxing were really lovely.  And of course I had to take a photo of my sandy feet.  lol  And the gorgeous Zephyr collection from Prima was just perfect for that beach shot.  I love all the flowers that are available in this collection.

 I love all the goodies that always come in the Your Memories Here collection packs and grab bags.

Each collection pack or grab bag is full of the prettiest, most fun Prima products available that release.  And often coordinates wonderfully with items from previous releases.  Including some older flourishes, lovely resins and flowers.

I did quite a bit of distressing with my Prima distress tool as well as adding a few extra bits of trim from my Hydrangea Hippo stash.

Well, Back to work....

Hey You - Flip Card

Hi everyone!  Well, it's Wednesday and this week seems to be just flying by.  Before we know it it will once again be the weekend.  woo hoo!  Well, maybe not so much woo....swim meet.  lol

Today I want to share with you a green friendship card I made using one of the Sizzix dies I purchased from Kristina at Your Memories Here.
sizzix, card, die cut, prima
I colored my stamped image using Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  I love that these distress markers make it so easy to create a water color look on my project.
flowers, seam binding, distress markers
And of course I couldn't resist using a few gorgeous Prima Blooms to brighten the card and a bit of seam binding dyed with some green Glimmer Mist.  This card is just perfect for spring.
prima, stickers, sentiment
A simple sentiment with a Prima sticker completed the look.  I love the way this project came together with the mixture of Prima, Distress Markers, and Sizzix.  I think this die has to be one of my favorite dies ever.

I hope you enjoy this card.  I know I had fun making it.

Hugs.

Play Nice - The Sampler


Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a new project using the Simply Sweet kit from the Sampler Kit Club.  This months kit is so super cute and I just couldn't wait to dive right in.  I love the trims, the patterns, the colors...OK, I love it all!  lol

All the gorgeous colors and designs in this kit are just perfect for these goofy photos of my girls playing Twister.  Do you remember playing Twister?  Lately the children have been having a blast with this old standby.  Of course they tried to get me to play...I have been able to resist so far.  hee hee

 I really love the "Do It Yourself" Thickers Holly has been placing in the kits.  They make title work so easy. And I loved this sketch I found over at Pagedrafts.
