My first Disney layout!! {TPV Guest Designer Post!}

I'm so happy to announce that I am the Guest Designer at The Paper Variety this week!!  I found out when I was on the bus from the Magic Kingdom to our hotel at like 1 a.m. our first night there LOL! Riding the bus was my time to check in and see what was going on since we didn't have a good signal at the hotel.

When I got home and saw my assignment, I may have squealed a bit.  The sketch from Guest Aphra Boyler this week was PERFECT for my first Disney page. I think this is the fastest I have ever started scrapping a vacation.  I have had most of my supplies since we booked our trip back in March :) You can click {HERE} to see Aphra's sketch on the TPV blog as well as all the fantastic DT samples!

Here is my layout~

I saw the Four Parks - One World a lot while were were there. I think I even bought a deck of cards with it (I really need to unpack!!)  The picture of the castle isn't the best we have but it's the only one I could find that would fit with the rest.  All supplies are from the Queen & Company Disney line except for the Thickers and the tiny type letters.

If you play along with TPV this week, you can win this cool prize!

I am also linking my layout to the Disney/Pixar link up party at Crafty Chics!

TFL!

Birthday Sundaes #28 - Buttons!

Good morning!

Today's Birthday Sundaes Challenge should be an easy one for everyone! Just create a new birthday card and add some BUTTONS!  Don't forget birthday wording on your card front.

I will hopefully have a card to share later in the week but no promises. I didn't get a chance to get everything done before we left for vacation and am not up to crafting just yet. Soon though, I hope!

You can enter your card {HERE} and check out the fab DT samples while you are there!

I'm back!!!

I know most of you didn't even know I was gone LOL!   

Mike and I left last Sunday for Walt Disney World to celebrate our belated honeymoon and 1st wedding anniversary. We stayed on WDW property at the Caribbean Beach Resort and really enjoyed our entire 6 days there, even though I caught a cold and haven't been feeling well since Wednesday.  I have tons of pictures to share but I need the energy to really sift through them all to organize and edit them. 

Here's one pic from our character breakfast at the Animal Kingdom, this was our 2nd day there :)  

I hope to get back on track with visiting and commenting soon! Thank you for all the comments on my projects this week :) 

Scrappin' Saturday - Cousins

Happy Scrappin' Saturday!

This week I am featuring a double layout from the crop I attended a few weeks ago. I did use a sketch, however I can't find my notes at the moment.

{click picture for larger view}

I had lots of pictures from the photo session of my sister's dog and mine meeting for the first time to take Christmas photos.  This double pager allowed me to include quite a few pics - although I think I might still have just a few more to scrap!

I just love this Basic Grey Jovial line! Everything is BG except the red cardstock which is Bazzill Classic Red and the ribbon is from May Arts. 

Thanks for looking!

Cooking It Up with Katie #76

{Please scroll down for my Flutter By Wednesdays post}

Hello again!

I'm back with my Cooking It Up with Katie card and sadly my last challenge with the team. I thought I could take on the additional commitment but it has proven to be too much to keep up with.  I will still be playing along when I can though since I love the challenges.

The recipe this week is:

• oval
• orange
• inside out (decorate the inside of your card!)

I used the very cool Papertrey Ink - Inside & Out birthday stamp set and Echo Park Apothecary Emporium paper to create a fun 'halloween-ish' birthday card. Can you tell I just love this May Arts ribbon - I bought a yard of it at the LSS and still have just a tad bit leftover. Must get more!

Here's the inside~
