When a song gets stuck...

So, today I have had the song "Someday My Prince Will Come" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs stuck in my head.  I just keep hearing it over and over and over... it's making me nuts!  I decided that I would try scrapping it.  I figured that if I thought about it creatively and typed out the lyrics, that would help get the song out of my head.  Well... it DIDN'T WORK!  I do love the layout though!

I used the kit Sweetest Spring by Keystone Scraps to create the layout.  I adore the soft colors and the great mix of elements.  It's such a pretty and versatile kit.

Well, I'm off to bed now.  Hopefully, I won't dream about Happy, Grumpy, Bashful, Sneezy, Sleepy, Doc, and Dopey...  or witches and poisoned apples for that matter.  But I don't think I'd complain about Prince Charming!

I Dream of Africa

This big, beautiful, elegant kit contains 24 papers infused with animal prints, textiles, and solid hues. There are 65 elements including several styles of flowers, realistic artisan elements, and earthy animal stickers.... just to name a few.

You can pick up this amazing kit at Keystone Scraps Store for just $3

If you hurry and purchase I Dream of Africa by Sunday April 24th, you will receive a FREE Page Starter!

What is a Page Starter??? Well... its like a quickpage, but it gives you much more flexibility!

Everything you need to create a great page is here... a beautiful paper pack, a great cluster frame... and 2 different alpha titles! Just add your photos and journaling and you're done! Or you can use just 1 element on your page... or combine it with the full I Dream of Africa kit

This page starter will be available in the store for just $1 starting Monday April 25th!

Here's a layout that I did with it.  It's such a fun kit to work with... check back for more layouts and maybe a freebie to match!

Now go pick this kit up and use it to scrap your life, one dream at a time!

A New CT for Me!

It's been a long time since I've done CT work, but I felt like it was something I wanted to do again. So when I saw a call for Keystone Scraps, I just felt like that would be a good fit. If you've never heard of it, Keystone Scraps is actually a partnership between two designers, Melissa and Paula. They are great people who create fun designs, and they're Disney addicts like me! Now is that a great fit, or what? Anyway, I am so EXCITED to be a part of their CT and can't wait to start scrapping for them. They have a new kit coming out on Wednesday. You can see the preview on their blog. They also have a really adorable kit called Mouse Moments, which is available now in their store. Keep checking back for some LOs from me using these kits. And now, before I hit the hay for the night, I'm off to scrap life, one dream at a time!

Makeovers and Mouse Heads...

Now that's a seriously strange title for a blog post! But that's really what this is all about. I did a layout last night for an April Matter of Scrap Challenge over at ScrapMatters. It was the Extreme Makeover Challenge where you take an old layout (maybe from your early digi days when you were still learning and developing your craft and skills), and redo it. I chose to redo a layout of a photo taken by the overpass you go under from Magic Kingdom Parking to the Ticket and Transportation Center at Walt Disney World. I won't bother putting up the original layout because... well... ugh! But here's my redo using The Magic in You and Mostly Magic Alphas, both by Band Geek Designs at ScrapMatters.

Well, I wanted a wire Mickey head for my layout to go with the other wire elements, so I made myself one. Of course, Mickey is awfully lonely without Minnie, so I made a Minnie head to keep him company (not on the layout though). I'm offering my His N' Hers Mouse Heads to you as a little freebie for visiting my happy home here on the web.

You can download it here.

Well, thanks for visiting and remember, keep scrapping life, one dream at a time!

A MouseScrappers Challenge!

I am sooooo excited to be hosting my very first challenge at MouseScrappers! It's a scraplift challenge, so I made this layout for lifting:

The Test Track emblem on the layout is a FREEBIE that I'm giving to you all. You can download it here.

It completes the really cool participation prize that I made for everyone who participates in the challenge. Here's the prize:

So why not have some fun? Join me and all the other MouseScrappers for Scraplift Challenge #9. You'll have a great time. Now go scrap life, one dream at a time.

Project X

Dedicated Disney digiscrapper (wow, how's that for a tongue twister?!) that I am, of course I spend some time over at MouseScrappers. It turns out that they're starting a mysterious new project called Project X. The big reveal about what it is will happen tomorrow. Can't wait!!!

Join us at MouseScrappers to see what it's all about!

Yo ho, Yo ho

It's 3:30 AM on Thursday, March 16. Heaven only knows what I'm doing up, but I guess it doesn't really matter since I'm on spring break and can sleep late tomorrow. I'm in Disney World right now, staying at the Caribbean Beach resort in a pirate room. My son really wanted to stay here. I have to say, the room decor is really fun. It always amazes me how the Disney decorators can carry a theme right down to the most minute detail. Even the bathrooms here are pirate themed. The shower walls have a large carving of a pirate ship, and the shower curtain has a rope netting motif with pictures of pirate ships. And since I see the world through the eyes of a scrapper, I decided the minute I looked at the shower curtain that it would make a great digital paper. So I grabbed my camera (actually my iPhone), took a pic and played with it in Photoshop to make it look like distressed and aged wood. I used it to make a layout about our pirate room.

The kit I used is Buried Treasure by Valerie Randall. I supplemented with a flower action by Doreen Stolz, and then I found some Pirate Mickey clip art that I turned into a chipboard element. I am giving you, my friends, the background paper as a freebie for you to use in your pirate or nautical layouts. You can download it here. If you do use the paper in a layout that you post to a gallery, please leave me a message with a link so I can see it. I'd love to see what you do with it. I'm off to get some shuteye, so remember to keep scrapping life, one dream at a time!
