To You



Just a simple card with paper and ribbon from DCWV. The lettering is from the "Opposites Attract" cart and the flower is from "Home Decor." The flower is attached with pop dots, of course.

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?
