It always seems impossible...

Our team was given a mood board challenge this week.  The quote "it always seems impossible until it's done" is the first thing that caught my attention.



It immediately made me think of my daughter and how at the end of her 8th grade year she decided to step out of her comfort zone and try out for the high school colorguard/winterguard team.  I wasn't even sure she would make it through the tryouts...but now she is entering her senior year, her fourth year of guard, and her third year as a captain.  My girl took to colorguard like a fish to water.  The last three years she has been voted "most outstanding"...I seriously could not be more proud her her.

So obviously my layout features my most awesome Guard Girl...




You can see what the rest of the design team came up with here

Happy Scrapping!

Magical Monday

This week's challenge over at the Use Your Stuff blog has a "magical" theme....which of course means I am going to do yet another Disney Layout because if nothing else, I am nauseatingly predictable!

The pics and story are from October 2006.  Even 12 years later, it is probably among my Top 3 most magical moments.  I ended up hiding the journaling under the photos so that I would have enough room to tell my story.




Journaling reads:
We met up with The ****** Family at Epcot. J**** and M***** each had the World Passport to take around to the countries of the World Showcase and get their stamps.  I was trying my best to find one for both Stevie and Alyson but at that time the passports were being redesigned and so I was having no luck finding even one, let alone two, anywhere in the park.

This particular cast member noticed my kids’ disappointment and not only tracked one down for each of them, he went across the park on his Segway to get them and then gifted them to Stevie and Alyson.  Despite the fact that I insisted on paying for them, he refused.

All four kids had so much fun getting their passports stamped that day.  I was so very grateful for the cast member sharing some of the Disney magic with us.  It is something we will not soon forget and part of what keeps me coming back to Disney.               


Recently for National Scrapbooking Day I did a few more "magical" layouts...just in case you need more inspiration:
