Last two pages for my Disney album - featuring Paper Wizard


I am DONE!!! Whoop whoop. The sense of accomplishment is amazing! Well, I guess it's time to go see the mouse again!! Shhhh! The kids don't know!! I'll be creating a new album next year using more amazing Paper Wizard titles and the Simple Stories Say Cheese II collection!!

The last two pages feature Mosaic Moments, Say Cheese (paper, stickers, brads and a snap card) and the All moused out title. I wanted to highlight our rides on Space Mountain and show my dear son who was 2 at the time and all his pics were from the stroller.


The last page came together so quickly because the background page was already styled. I simple added the title, my son a sticker and the snap pocket (with a license from the driving ride stuck to it) to hold all of the maps and activities that were going on at that time. The best part... the cardstock is double sided, so even though there's nothing on the back of this last page it's cute anyway! I might write a letter for the last page with some thoughts about the trip. But if I don't it's still cool.


Thanks for stopping by!

Princess Jazmine and Aladdin layout using EK Success, Simple Stories and Mosaic Moments


Jasmine is one of my daughter's favorite princesses! She came bearing messages from Ariel and Eric. It was so cute to see them fraternizing! Aladdin was very cool too! This Mosaic Moments layout was a slam dunk using their grid paper and dies. The patterned paper and embellishments are from EK Success and the snap cards are from the Simple Stories Say Cheese collection.


We waited a while to get our homemade autograph books signed! It was worth the wait for sure! I've started putting stickers on pictures... It took me a long time to be comfortable with it but it actually helps the overall motif. I added a crown to my daughter's head and some words to another couple pics.


Here's the layout altogether. Feel free to use the links below to check out the rest of this album. I'm still creating a few more layouts before I am done. So stay tuned...


Thanks for stopping by! Crafty blessings!

Magic Kingdom, Mosaic Moments and Simple Stories Say Cheese


I've got a non-matching but related Disney layout for you today. On the left is a pic of me and my daughter and the beautiful Cinderella Castle in magic Kingdom at night. The right-hand page is our chance meeting with Mary Poppins on main street.

Mosaic Moments gird paper, Simple Stories say cheese collection and Queen and Co. felt adhesive "main street USA" border.


I tied in these two pages with the colors and patterns of the collection. The stickers, snap cards, border stickers etc. all coordinate. It makes scrapbooking easy!


Here's the pages together. These are the only two single pages in my album but I love 'em.


Thanks for stopping by! Crafty blessings!

It's time for another DT post! Please join in Challenge 9: anything goes craft challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends challenge blog! It's been a blast being on this DT, but I need to see your creations to make it SPECTACULAR!!

The challenge runs for two weeks starting May 3rd (Australia Eastern Standard Time). Ok, so guess what? We have not one, not two, BUT THREE sponsors - Sami Stamps, Bugaboo Stamps and Ching-Chou Kuik! They have offered some amazing prizes! Please check out their sites and show them some love!


#1
Prize ~ $12 Gift Certificate

 #2
Prize ~ 7 Images

 #3
Prize ~ 1 Image

**********************************************************************
I was very fortunate to receive the digi
Hello magnolia by Ching-Chou Kuik!



It's a beautiful image with lots of hair (my arch nemesis!) I had fun learning where to put the highlights and low lights. I am sure you cannot guess what I colored with! Wink of Stella!!! 

Here's a better look at the subtle shimmer you get with Wink of Stella brush pens. They have a limited color palate but I was able to layer colors to create deeper shades and to blend colors. I have never tried this technique with Wink and I was so happy with the results.



Wink does not yet have skin tones so I did use a Copic to color her skin with minimal blending. The rest of the CAS card came together rather quickly. 

Supplies:
  • Stampendous mixed media cardstock (digi printed on...)
  • We R Memory Keepers - inked rose (Card base)
  • Live for today: dollar tree (sentiment)
  • simple stories say cheese - layers
  • wink of stella brush pens
  • Copic Marker E11 
  • Scotch ATG

Have Yourself A Very Mousy Christmas! Disney, Mosaic Moments, Simple Stories


I'm back with another 2 page layout using Mosaic Moments dies and grid cardstock. Have you heard that my absolute favorite pattern right now is chevron??? I had to make a Disney layout using this pattern from the 6x6 pad of patterned cardstock Say Cheese by Simple Stories. Besides the Christmas parade pics the star of the show is the beautiful title by Paper Wizard. The picture squares were cut from a Marvy punch.


All the cardstock is from Say Cheese. I created the middle element from the 12x12 cardstock page with different pattern strips on it. In addition I added the chevron border sticker under the text. The more chevron the better! The photos are matted on newsprint style cardstock from the collection. 


And finally, the black embellishments are from Queen and Company. They are flocked domes like I have never seem before. I thought they made a difference in the overall look of the layout. Here's one last look!

Magic Kingdom Street Party Parade - Hot off the Press, Mosaic Moments and Simple Stories


We spent 2 days in Disney's Magic Kingdom and saw several parades. This layout features the Street Party with all of our fav characters. It was fun to have the opportunity to dance and interact with the characters on a more personal level. Not all my pics came out stellar, but with Mosaic Moments they look like a million bucks!


The patterned cardstock on both pages and the stickers on the first page are from Simple Stories Say Cheese collection. Chip 'n Dale and the Mickey head die cut are stickers from EK Success. The words Magic Kingdom are scrapbooking Dazzles by Hot off the Press.


Here's the layout altogether. I love the mix of squares, rectangles and strips to create this active scene.

I Love A Parade! Layout featuring Mosaic Moments, Simple Stories and Paper Wizard


I'm so happy with the Mosaic Moments system of scrapbooking. It has endless options and looks so professional. With the new dies they came out with it makes it SO much quicker and more enjoyable. As long as the mojo is flowing, I can get layout after layout done in a jiffy. And of course the Paper Wizard title just sets it off! I was able to complete this layout using just the Simple Stories Say Cheese collection and some washi tape and memorabilia from my stash.


I have really enjoyed including Paper Wizard titles on my pages. They just really make it pop. Incorporating snap cards for my journaling was a no brainer as well. I don't usually add pockets or stickers to my pages but I must say these stickers do actually stick and the pocket was the perfect place to display our 5-day park hopper tickets.


This type of page is what made me fall in love with Mosaic Moments! It's a great way to combine many pics into a spectacular visual experience.


Here's the layout altogether. I love how it came out.

I'd love to hear if you have tried Mosaic Moments, how you scrap your parade or Disney pics. Fill me in!!

Hakuna Matata Lion King Scrapbooking Layout


Yo, yo, YO!! I'm back to share more of my Disney scrapbooking!!!!! I'm still using Mosaic Moments dies and grid cardstock to document our first trip to Disney from 2011. The entire album is done in Mosaic Moments. It's been quite a task indeed spanning several years. But now the dies and the gallery with color-coded pattens make it quick and easy! The dies are pricey but it's worth every penny to get all the sets. They come with layering dies in addition if you are not using the grid cardstock. It's a WIN WIN! You can make normal pages or cards or whatever with the dies.


Above is my left hand page highlighting pics from the Lion King live show in Animal Kingdom. It was so spectacular. I think I had more fun than the kids! Both pages came together easily using cardstock and embellishments from Simple Stories Say Cheese collection. I love this collection (so much that I have also purchased the second collection Say Cheese II) because it has all the right colors and embellishments for making general Disney pages. It included stickers and snap cards. I used the stickers in the set to answer questions on the pocket card and to take up blank space in my pics.

I added one sticker pack from EK Success for the Simba on this page. It is actually furry!! From that same pack I was able to create the title on the second page of this layout and the border at the bottom right including the cast of characters.


I think this is from Say Cheese II but my fav part of the collection is the clear overlays. I was able to use a card saying what a bunch of characters and trim down the overlay to create my own embellishment. The overlay has the stars and hearts and the bottom border of arrows. I'll add journaling to the top right hand card. I only added the Simba sticker and some stars.



Here's a look at the entire spectacle!! The layout is posed in my scrap 'n easel - another must have! Thanks for stopping by!
