BE {YOU} TIFUL

The Design Team had another Mood Board challenge this week.  I feel like I struggle with these sometimes.  The green is the first thing that caught my eye...and then the wood on the lighting and the table...and then the stack of books...

So, I was inspired to scrapbook a couple of photos from my daughter's senior session last August...

HAPPY SCRAPPING!

Inspired by Disney

It's my turn to host the Design Team Challenge this week at Use Your Stuff...and it was a fun one for me since we were challenged to create a project inspired by Disney.  Anyone who knows me, even a little bit, knows that Disney is my Happy Place, so combining that with my love of Scrapbooking makes me one happy mama!

Our kingdom's only princess attended her Senior Prom this past April and she reminded me of another princess, especially when I saw these pictures of her...

Since the challenge was to be "inspired by" I opted to keep the Disney touches simple and keep the focus mainly on the pictures of Our Beauty...

Be sure and head over to the Use Your Stuff blog and see how the rest of the Design Team was inspired.

Happy Scrapping!

Another Mood Challenge

Our team was challenged with another mood board this week...

My original plan was to use this super sweet photo of my little guy hanging out with a grasshopper...

But alas, my printer did not want to cooperate so I had to go looking for different photos and came across these photos of my 3 kiddos.  I used up some Little Yellow Bicycle and October Afternoon as well as some Elle's Studio and Ali Edwards goodies.

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the Design Team came up with.

HAPPY SCRAPPING!

Happy Summer!

Happy Summer!

This week I am hosting the Design Team Challenge over at Use Your Stuff and it is all about Summer!

Unfortunately around these parts, the beginning of Summer also marks the beginning of Hurricane Season...ugh!  So we will just focus on the positive...like the fact that our kingdom's only princess just graduated high school, made the colorguard team for college and is currently embarking on a trip to Scotland with my mom, my sister, brother-in-law and nephews!  

Or the fact that all 3 of my kiddos were under the same roof for a few days as our College Boy made it home for both his little brother's VPK graduation and his sister's high school graduation!

We can also focus on the fact that my little guy FINALLY got to fly a kite after having been obsessed with them for the last month or so after they had a "Kite Day" at his school!  I pulled out some super old Echo Park to scrapbook the photos.  He was in absolute heaven! 

Be sure and check out what the rest of the Design Team came up with and maybe share your own project as well!

Happy Monday and Happy Scrapping!

Celebrating Moms

The UYS Design Team challenge this week was all about Moms...and since I just got the Echo Park "I am Mom" collection, I decided to play around with some photos of myself and my 3 kiddos.  These were taken back in 2015...

Happy Monday and Happy Scrapping!

Let's play tag....

I have been slacking a bit in the scrapping department...even completely missed out on the NSD this year...lift has been taking its toll.  But alas I finally have a LO for this week's Use Your Stuff Challenge: "Tags and Frames".  I used an old tag as part of my title of my Princess Bunny page.  Hard to believe this little cutie will be graduating from high school in less than a month!

Be sure and stop by the blog to see what some of the other Design Team members came up with.

Happy Monday and Happy Scrapping!

Definitely a challenge...

This week the team was challenged to use washi tape on a project.  For most scrapbooker's that is a piece of cake...for me...not so much.  I actually don't have very much of a washi tape collection (*gasp*...I know...it's unheard of!) and alas, most of what I do have is holiday themed.  I wasn't really feeling in a holiday mood but thankfully I was able to find a couple of more generic rolls to add some embellishment to my Mickey and Minnie layout...

Be sure and go check out what the rest of the team did.

Happy Scrapping!

The Rainbow Connection

It's my turn to host the challenge over at Use Your Stuff this week and it is all about RAINBOWS!

When my daughter was little, she loved getting her face painted...and when we were at Walt Disney World, she always chose the same "frog princess" design...every. single. time.

I did a simple paper piecing to mimic her face painting...

Be sure and stop over to see what the rest of the Design Team came up with.

Happy Scrapping!

Do you believe in MAGIC?

Use Your Stuff Blog has teamed up with the ladies over at the Double Trouble Challenge Blog again for a little *MAGIC* :)

Anyone who knows me know that Disney is pure *Magic* for me and it is hard to think about Disney without thinking about Tinkerbell...

For the Double Trouble Challenge, I took a bit from Thing 1 and played Tic Tac Toe across the bottom of the board using Die Cuts, Vellum and Ribbon...also a bit of Thing 3 considering my layout involves the most magical fairy herself!

Be sure and stop over at both Use Your Stuff and Double Trouble for a chance to win Double Trouble's random drawing prize :)

HAPPY SCRAPPING!

In the Kitchen

This week the challenge for the Design Team at Use Your Stuff was all about food so I was finally inspired to do a layout about mine and my daughter's very first Disney Dole Whip...seriously don't know why it took SOOOO long for us to finally try one!  So yummy and now we are hooked!

Be sure and check out what the rest of the team came up with.

Happy Scrapping!

As Time Goes By...

This week over at Use Your Stuff our projects had to have a "time" theme...I ended up asking my daughter for help and let her pick out the pictures and determine the title.  I am still working through photos from June 2013 and kept this layout pretty simple...

Snack Time With Mickey!

Be sure and hop over to Use Your Stuff to see what the rest of the Design Team did :)

Wishing you a *Magical* Monday!

Nothing Like a Good Book

I am hosting this week's challenge over at Use Your Stuff...and this week we want to see projects inspired by books!

"There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island." – Walt Disney

I opted for a Christmas feel...'tis the season, I suppose!  Photos are quite a few years old from Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party...

I also have a layout inspired by the Twilight series...because yes, as it happens...I apparently have a thing for sparkling vampires! ;)

Be sure and check out the rest of the Design Team here

Happy Scrapping!

Double Trouble

Use Your Stuff Blog teamed up with Double Trouble Paper Crafting last week and the challenge continues this week as well...

How it works...you do our challenge, and pair it up with the challenges that double trouble has on their blog!  The more aspects of the challenge you do, the more chances you get to win their prize!

The challenge at Use Your Stuff is to be inspired by a wintery mood board...

For my layout I opted to go with Double Trouble's Thing 3 and add "sprinkles" to my project...aka anything glittery, shimmery or shiny.  I used glitter letters for the title and plenty of bling through out..

Be sure and check out what my team did with the challenge this week HERE

And you can check out Team A from last week HERE

HAPPY MONDAY AND HAPPY SCRAPPING!

A Star Studded Challenge

Our team was asked to complete a project using stars this week so what better way to get started than with pics of the main STAR of the Disney dynasty than the big cheese himself?!

I raided my Disney stash and found pattered paper with lots of stars scattered throughout as well as some fun puffy star stickers for embellishment.

Be sure and stop over to see what the rest of the team came up with HERE.

Wishing you a Magical Monday and Happy Scrapping!

In the MOOD for Fall

The team was challenged with another mood board for this week's assignment...it is all about fall ya'll!

My older two are 19 and 17 so it is fun to scrapbook older pictures of them when they were little...and cute...and didn't have smart mouths and crappy attitudes (or maybe that's just my teenagers?!)  Anyway, back in their younger days we lived in Seattle and were blessed with 4 real seasons, the best of which, in my humble opinion, was fall!  My favorite thing to do was taking the kiddos to the pumpkin patch...

Check out what the rest of the Design Team came up with this week!

Happy Scrapping!

It's Autumn!

It's Autumn...at least in some places!  Here in The Sunshine State we are not so lucky.  Fall is my favorite time of the year and the one thing I miss the most about living in a place that actually gets to experience 4 real seasons during the year.  I love all the pretty and fun scrappy supplies you can find for Fall too.

The team was challenged to do a Autumn/Halloween project this week...

Happy Monday and Happy Scrapping!

Spots and Dots

The first thing that comes to mind when I am challenged to do a project involving "Spots and Dots" is Minnie Mouse and her iconic red dress with the white polka-dots.  No one rocks the dots like Minnie Mouse herself!

The pictures are from June 2013 and I used up some pretty old stash for this one...

Happy Scrapping!

This week's challenge

We were challenged to do a project involving animals...I don't have much in the way of photos with actual real animals in them so I opted to do a layout with my favorite Disney dogs at Animal Kingdom...

HAPPY SCRAPPING!

A little weekend scrapbooking....

Actually did a little scrapbooking just for the fun of it this weekend...pictures are from 2013 when we played Follow the Leader with Peter and Wendy down Main Street USA and then hanging out with a couple of jungle friends at Animal Kingdom.  FINALLY used that old Sandy Lion Jungle Book patterned paper!

HAPPY SCRAPPING!

Let's Get Colorful

Our challenge this week at Use Your Stuff was to use a lot of color...so I opted to use a black and white photo of me and  my besties, along with some old fun and colorful KI Memories.  I sprinkled some colorful rhinestones throughout and there you have it...

You can see the rest of the Design Team's colorful projects HERE

Happy Monday and Happy Scrapping!
