Favorite Disney Pages

     My kids are spoiled.  I know this because when I look at their scrapbooks it's a constant parade of family trips, vacations, and fun!  Looking through most of my favorite pages feature Disney.  We've been to the parks a few times and I thought for today's post I'd picture some of my favorite Disney pages.  I must warn you, there's a lot of them (and I can't find my absolute favorite page)!

A Scrappin' Weekend

    I managed to spend most of the weekend locked in my craftroom scrapping away.  I made all the invitations to my sister's shower, some cards and tons of scrapbook pages.  I decided to showcase the pages today.  Many of the pages had already been started but still needed titles, journaling or embellishments but I finished up all the pages, got them put into albums and put on the page protectors; which somehow always makes me like them better.  I may not love a page but once I put it into some one's album and put the page protector on I do seem to like them better.  Go figure!  Perhaps it's the feeling of accomplishment, I don't know but I do love how these pages came out.

 For the last page I wanted to post a before, during and after picture because I tried a new technique and I loved it.  Using Stampin Up!'s designer series paper natural composition specialty (which is embossed for you!) and some re- inkers on a sponge I made a multi- colored background in which the pattern still showed up.  It's an embossed resist without having to emboss myself.  I loved the way it came out.  Don't you?

Happy Easter!

  Yes, I know I have the wrong weekend, but I did make Easter cards this year for my guys and I have yet to get around to blogging them.  Sorry, what can I say?  We've been very busy around here.  But today is one of those days I'm planning on locking myself in my craftroom and getting a bunch of scrapbooking/ cardmaking done.  Wish me luck; my plans don't always work out the way I hope so we'll see if I get to write another post later or not.







        I don't love these cards; seems like lately I don't really like anything I've been making.  Cards and scrapbook pages keep disappointing me.  I don't know if it's because I always feel so rushed for time or if it's just that I've lost some of that passion and I'm just going through the motions.  Anyhow I thought I'd post some photos of last year's Easter cards.... though now that I look at those I don't love 'em either.  Maybe my expectations are just a bit to high after seeing all the wonderful creations everyone else makes on Pinterest.  Seriously, many of those pages and cards just blow me away!
