I Love You, Stinky Face!

 Happy New Year!

My first DT layout in the new year!

The team is being inspired by books for this challenge and so I have taken my inspiration from a little book series that my youngest and I have been reading together since he was a toddler.  I fell in love with this first book and Landon loved it so much we have added to our collection over the years and we now have a total of 6.  We recently discovered there is another one in the series and, even though he is now 8, we both agree we need to get it.  I don't think I am going to be able to part with these books...ever!

Be sure and hop over to the Use Your Stuff Blog to check out what the rest of the Design Team came up with.

Wishing you lots of scrappy craftiness in 2023!

A rainbow of possibilities...

 I have been sadly lacking when it comes to posting on my blog.  I am still scrapping and sharing layouts but Instagram seems to be the easiest way to go sometimes, especially when life gets hectic and I just don't have a lot of time.  Someone recently told me that I needed to slow down and remember to take time for myself...so I am going to try harder to post here on my blog.  Even if no one else is reading it, I still enjoy it.

The Use Your Stuff Blog is all about RAINBOWs this week.  Initially I didn't really think I had much in the way of rainbows in my stash but I was pleasantly surprised once I started digging around.  I am pretty happy with how bright and happy my LO turned out.

My daughter and I love to walk around Epcot's Festival of the Arts whenever possible.  We usually fall in love with at least one new piece of art that will inevitably find its way home with us.  This year was not exception as I found a particular Haunted Mansion piece I was wanting and was lucky enough to meet the artist who not only autographed the piece for me but also sketched an image on the back as well.

I wanted to include the little passport booklet and and so I found a small page protector from a mini album and adhered it to my page.  Then I was able to slide the booklet inside and we can take it out and look at it whenever we want.

The Artsy Rainbow Acrylic Mickey heads from Scraps and Ink Crafts were the perfect splash of Disney, as well as the Epcot Rainbow Washi... 

If you haven't already, be sure and pop over to the UYS Blog to check out the rest of the Design Team. You can also upload and share a Rainbow project of your own as well.

Wishing you a Magical Monday and Happy Scrapping!

It's EMBOSSING time!

 Over at the Use Your Stuff Blog we are focusing on embossing...both wet and dry.  I actually opted for a little dry embossing for my Toy Story themed layout.  The colors of the cardstock were perfect with the patterned paper and I love the added texture the embossing gives my layout overall.

 

Be sure and check out the rest of the Design Team and their projects this week!

Happy Scrapping!

Something fun for the New Year!

I am a little late in sharing this, but I am so excited to have been asked to be a part of the Design Team over at the Disney Creative Co.  The Disney Creative Co. is a fun, new place for Disney crafting and scrapbooking ideas and when you enter the challenges each month, you have a chance to win authentic Disney merchandise.  You can check out the BLOG and the FORUM as well as the ever growing GALLERY of awesome Disney layouts.  It's not too late to join the January challenges!

 We are focusing on Thanksgiving and being grateful this week over at the Use Your Stuff Blog.  I opted to go a little less traditional as far as Thanksgiving goes but I am grateful for the man I married and the life we share together so I opted to make that the focus of my layout this week.  

You can see what the rest of the Design Team came up with HERE

Happy Scrapping and Happy Thanksgiving!

Tic-Tac-Toe-Time again...

 We are playing Tic-Tac-Toe over on the Use Your Stuff Blog again...

I opted to go on the diagonal with the Flower, Butterfly, and Any Shade of Purple. And since this whole month I have been playing along with the DisneyScrappers International Scrapbooking Day Crop, I kept it Disney themed with a simple LO of a meet and greet with Vidia.

 

You can check out the rest of the Design Team HERE and share your own creation.  

Happy Scrapping!

Favorite Things...

It is no secret that I love Disney...so when it comes to scrapbooking with a "favorites" theme, it is really a no brainer for me!  Then you throw in a little Star Wars and the "cool" factor just goes even higher!  (at least in my opinion!)

The rest of the Design Team shares their favorites HERE.

Happy Scrapping!
