Sunday Funday - Hiking Layout

So much for having a relaxing weekend. Our friends came over to have brunch with their young boys and played with the suddenly tired Izzie. Josh made blueberry or chocolate chip Mickey pancakes, I made biscuits with sausage gravy and easy muffin tin eggs. In my opinion, it was quite the spread. In between playing host and good housewife (doing laundry), I snuck in a layout. I feel in love with the WRMK Camping line, "Happy Campers" and since we love to hike, I purchased the 6x6 pad and made this layout.

Say "Hurray" for Simple Storie's "Say Cheese" Winter 2013 Line

I am impatiently waiting for the "Say Cheese" line from Simple Stories to fill the aisles of my LSS and even online. I almost did the pre-order but after reading the terrible reviews, I became a chicken and decided to wait. I am most excited because I have sat on all these beautiful pictures of our Disney wedding with no idea what I was going to do - classy with Anna Griffin or fun with something Disneyish. It was this line that made me think, "yes, fun!" So maybe it will look terrible or maybe it will just be absolutely amazing (I'm hoping for this one) but I am going to do Simple Stories. Afterall, I think they have became my favorite scrapbook company. All of there products have been such a hit.

So cheers to Simple Stories for helping me find my creative path to my Disney wedding album. It makes complete sense, right?

Cheers for Mickey ears (chipboard album)

Project: Chipboard Mickey ears album

One of my favorite projects of all time was this cute (and fun) chipboard album. I used various sizes of chipboard circles and lots of thick glitter paper to create the illusion of Mickey and Minnie (with bows of course). I added a few embellishments including a mickey straw. This album was of our FIRST Disney trip together to celebrate our engagement. Ok, not to brag but isn't this absolutely adorable?
My husband helped cut all the circles which was quite time consuming but besides that this album was fun and easy.
