Disney momentos

Here are some Disney autograph books that I've been working on for my kids to get autographs of the characters at Disneyworld. I plan on snapping a pic as well and when we get home, I will put together their mini autograph book!! The dimensions are 4 x 5 1/2" and boy I sure do wish that I had the new Zutter Rount it All corner rounder for this project!! It would have worked perfect.....the way I did it works, but this would have saved so much time!! This tool will certainly be on my list of things from Serendipity soon.

I did some looking locally for a Mickey Mouse stamp set to use and found this one at my LSS (Scrapbooks Etc.). I still want to do some looking to find a bigger one to use for my scrapbook once we get back. This set is by EK Success and fits perfectly with their circle punch!!!

Over the Rainbow Challenge!

I thought that I would try to play with this challenge and try to win some cardstock.....especially cardstock for a YEAR from PTI!!!!! And what fun colors to use....rainbow colors are the "in" things right now in papercrafting. Check out the challenge below and to see my entry!!
Now, I am currently waiting on my Summer Sunrise ink to arrive so I had to improvise some with the colors as I didn't have all of them!! Now, I did have Pure Poppy and it is just the richest shade of red you've ever seen! Wait my doorbell just rang, and what was there? My PTI package with my new inks!! Summer Sunrise and Ripe Avocado!! Now, please excuse my scan as my camera is all packed for the trip!! Wish me luck on winning paper for a year!

Disney name tags!!

I just can't remember where I saw this idea so I can't give adequate credit but I made these name tags for my kids to wear while on our trip. On the back, I put what "resort" we were staying at in case my kids got lost. I found the Disney lanyard at Michael's in the $1 bins a while back. For Payton's, I used a retired TAC set for the castle image and a TAC alphabet. For Brett's, I used misc. Disney paper, punched out Mickey ears and used the TAC alphabet.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye......

Here is the invitation I made for my daughter's birthday party last October. It is a simple gate-fold card using the Scor-Pal. The ribbon "ties" it together. The inside invitation greeting goes something like this and a castle was stamped "behind" the words:

"Hear Ye, Hear Ye! All ye Princesses

Princes, Kings and Queens

of the Land"

You are cordially invited to

attend the 3rd birthday celebration of

Princess Payton.

This event will be held at the

Kolling Castle

in the Kingdom of Topeka.

This celebration will commence on

Oct. 26, 2008.

Please RSVP to the King or Queen.

It turned out so cute!! I had great responses from those that RSVP'd asking what the Queen thought Princess Payton would like for her birthday!! I also made matching thank-you's that I sent out.

An oldie but a goodie!!

I love this cute little quick project. I made this a while back but just had to share. This is made using one of those office supply clips. I used TAC papers and found ribbons to match from my HUGE stash.....one of these days I will take pics of my ribbon drawers. Anyway, I have several of these made and put some wallet size pics in them on my shelves in my scrap/stamp room.

PTI--have you checked them out yet?

OMG, I love these stamps......Papertrey Ink. Right now, they are beginning their countdown for their 2nd Anniversary party!! Official release happens on the 15th. Check them out!! Here is a valentine card I made last week using Heart Prints and Raspberry Fizz Mix papers. I also invested in the matching inks from PTI too!! I wish now that I would have purchased the coordinating punches as well but it's not too hard to cut those hearts out. The brown heart (which is THE stamp that sold me on this set) is raised with a pop-dot. On this card, I also used PTI's Fresh Snow palette ink and the Fiskars scalloped punch. Do you see that I inked the small rectangle of raspberry fizz cardstock with the fresh snow ink? I think that little white border added just a touch of depth it needed!! Oh, I forgot I also used one of Heather's sketches for this one too.



Well, my kids are now enjoying the last week at home before we leave for our much anticipated DisneyWorld vacation!! Every day they have looked forward to taking turns "flipping" the calendar over. Check out my cute Disney countdown calendar in a previous post here!! I can not say how much I love that BIA!!
