A few weeks ago I was able to meet Susan and her family while we were both vacationing during Spring Break.  She had such terrific creativity on MouseScrappers and it was so much fun to see her at Ohana's for Breakfast. 

Susan and me!

Click HERE to go to Susan's blog Been There Done That Going Back.  I always look forwarding to her layouts as she had great ideas and gives me all kinds of scraplift possiblities!

This evening I was so lucky to be able to meet Sandy from MouseScrappers and Natalie's Place Design Creative Team.  I'm here for a conference in Orlando and she was returning from her brothers wedding and she took time out of her busy schedule to share dinner and time at Hollywood Studios. 

She has such an amazing talent and she is such an inspiration for me and my layouts.  We had a great dinner at 50's Prime Time and had to ride Tower of Terror!  So much for the "No Tower for an hour!" rule.  I had so much fun talking about scrap booking and learning about Sandy and her love of Disney. 

Sandy and me!

It was so nice to meet you and I look forward to visiting with you again.  Your layouts are amazing and I can't wait to see what you have created next.  Click HERE to go to her blog at Sand and 2 Pearls. 

I hope to see both of you real soon!

I'm so excited that Natalie's Place Designs has release Intergalactic just in time for Star Wars weekends.  We will be attending this year for the first time so I will have this fantasic kit to use for all my pages!!



Since I haven't been to Star Wars weekend yet I really couldn't do a layout from it BUT my layouts were perfect for Space Mountain and Astro Orbiter.


Her release wouldn't be complete without a freebie... So I thought I would share the Astro Orbiter wordart..

I have to suffer through next week attending a conference for work but where else?... Orlando and 10 minutes from Disney World.  I will be extremely busy unforunately but I'm so excited I get to meet Sandy from Natalie's Creative Team!

This month the kit challenge at MouseScrappers was created by Natalie's Place Designs entitled Spring Fling. I fell in love with this kit instantly and knew this is what I wanted to use for my Disney World Spring Break cover, spine, and back for our book. 

Here is the Cover for our Spring Break 2011 Disney trip.  We just returned on Sunday although today it seems like a lifetime ago. :) 

Believe it or not as we travel 9 hours to Disney World each trip my husband drives and what else..I scrapbook on the way done to Disney World and then organize photo's on the way home from Disney World.  I had seen so many great layouts on Mousescrapper with this kit that I tired my hand at making my first alpha!  I made this alpha while riding 9 hours. He-he.  I thought I would offer it as a freebie to go along with Natalie's great kit!

Click HERE for the Alpha and HERE for the numbers!

I hope you like it.  I know it's a little late in the month to be offering a freebie but I've been so busy and wanted to finish my cover. I will most likely change out the photo's once I finish reviewing and adding borders to my photopass photos but for now I'm pretty statisfied with how it turned out. 

Wishing everyone a magical evening!

I can't wait for everyone to see the new kit from Natalie's Place Designs.  For the first time ever we are going to be at Disney during some very special weekends in May and June and this kit is perfect!!  It's also ready for any of you that like to ride those galaxy rides..hint..hint.  Stay tuned it's coming soon..


Wishing all of you a magical evening.

MouseScrappers is having a Project X starting Friday!  I'm not sure what it's all about but it looks like it will be a lot of fun and I see a little hint of a blog train freebie.  Everybody loves freebies!!  Stay tuned....

Well it was an amazing Spring Break 2011!  It was a very crowded week for us as I believe it was Canada's and Texas Spring Break as well.  Yesterday the crowds had finally died down some which was great.  Some of the great things that happened was I got to meet another Mousescrapper..Susan!  We were also selected as the Grand Marshals at Magic Kingdom yesterday!! WOW..Again!  Who says pixie dust doesn't happen twice. I could not believe it. 

My first layout from the trip is my traditional Bay Lake Tower layout.  I use the same layout each trip but change out the large photo and candids.  I just love it.  My husband always has the greatest ideas for photo shoots!

I've got a lot of catching up to do so stay tuned for some more layouts and freebies in the near future!  Wishing everyone a magical evening. 

Today we are so lucky...lucky to be spending Spring Break at Disney World!  We are all so excited and can't wait to see our first glimpse of the Magic Kingdom Castle. It's just an amazing feeling when you arrive on property.

I wanted to release another freebie before I go.  Here is my second freebie from my adult only layout.  I hope you like the Animal Kingdom tag.  I did three versions with one being without Mickey and then two versions with internal shadows.

Just a reminder I will be on vacation until 21 March 2010.  I will try to post some happenings while on our trip but no promises! :)  Wishing everyone a magical Spring Break. 

First I'm so excited to welcome Sandy from Sand and 2 Pearls Designs to Natalie's Creative Team.  She has such amazing talent and has always been an inspiration for me seeing her amazing layouts on mousescrappers.  Please be sure to stop by her new blog and welcome her to the team!

We leave tomorrow for Disney World but not before Natalie's Place Designs releases Quest for Adventure.  So many wonderful elements and colors in this kit.  I see so many more possibilities when we return from our Disney Trip that I can't wait to do my Animal Kingdom layouts!   Just check it out!!
For my first layout I wanted to highlight a photo of my children from our 2nd Disney trip in 2008.  I focused on one photo and highlighted it with all the great papers and elements in the kit. 

Then I wanted to highlight a special adult only trip that my husband and I enjoyed in the fall of 2008.  It was amazing and every couple should take a least one trip alone together. 

Now for this kit I have two freebies to offer so first for today is a freebie from my first layout.  As I stated before I love all the wonderful elements in this kit so I thought I would share the Animal Kingdom wordart.

You'll have to stay tuned for the second release tomorrow.  Be sure to check out the great freebies offered by

Well it's only 5 days until we head back to Disney World!  We are all so excited and we are all fighting sickness!  UGH!!  We've got to get better.  I thought it was so fitting that Natalie has a new kit coming your way called Quest for Adventure.  It's fabulous and is another great addition to her amazing collection of kits.  I can't wait for all of you to see it.  Plus she has a new announcement coming soon about a new addition to her creative team.  Stay tuned....

Wishing everyone a magical day!

I'm getting ready for our next trip in just 8 shorts days!!  I better get going on the pixie dust to get everything done.  Natalie, while volunteering her time on the DIS, got me hooked on her Thank You envelopes!  They are so wonderful and make up a new set every trip. For this trip though we are eating for the first time at Via Napoli which of course is the new restaurant in Italy.  We are so excited but I didn't have a Thank You!!  So I thought I would take a stab at it with Natalie's ideas for inspiration.  I thought I would share them with all of you. :) 

Here is my first version with Mickey holding pizza with clipart designed by Natalie.

I hope everyone likes them.  I can't wait to use them on our next trip!  Wishing everyone a magical evening.
