Welcome To Disney World
I am still trying to catch up on my scrapbook. I am still doing pictures from 2005, before I even met my husband. Now I have a child. I am WAY behind. But, I am getting there. I am trying to be selective with what I scrapbook so I don't get too overwhelmed and too behind. I need to remind myself that not everything needs to be scrapbooked! Anyway.
These pages are from a trip I took to Disney World in August 2005. I realized I didn't have any pictures with me in them, but I still wanted to document the trip. So, I did anyway. I used the Disney Mickey and Friends cart for this page. And I did something I NEVER do: used white paper as a background. I wanted to focus on the pictures and the cutouts and I couldn't think of a paper to use as a background that did that as well as the white. So, it was done. Also, I LOVE pop-dots to add dimension. On this LO there are pop-dots for mickey, goofy, the sun, the airplane, Disney, the top layer of grass, and I think even the clouds. Like I said, I LOVE pop-dots!! Overall, I really like the way these pages turned out.
I didn't have a lot to document, just the date and the fact that it was ridiculously hot!! So, I just wrote a bit in the corner, so as not to take away from the images.

I love the stickles on Disney. It really adds a lot and makes it more special!

First Post
I have been so hesitant to create this blog for several reasons: first do I really need to post my creations? Is anybody really going to care? Second, it is going to be more time; I am terrible at updating my family blog, what makes me think I am going to update this one? Third, I have no idea what to call it. My husband and I have been mulling over some names for days and I am still drawing a blank. I wanted it to be something cute and catchy, but also to describe what I like to do: create things. I love to make crafts and things. It gives such a sense of satisfaction to make something that wasn't there before.
So, as you can see, I decided to take the plunge and create the blog. First, Who cares if nobody sees my posts or if they don't care. It is fun for me to do. I create scrapbook pages for people to see, why not show more people this way? Second, it is ok if I don't update all the time. This is something more for me to do that I enjoy, making something that wasn't there before. Third, I can still change the name right? Any ideas?
