My first layout I used a couple of the premades which made it super easy to create this layout. Prior to our cruise in March we stayed in Cocoa Beach at a resort right on the beach. The kids couldn't resist walking on the beach and collecting shells.
My next layout is from our recent cruise and visit to Castaway Cay. We love Castaway Cay and if the cruise only went to Castaway Cay out and back several times I'm all in! Everything is right there provided for you, beach, sun, snorkeling, fishing, bike riding, food, and entertainment. If you have never taken a Disney Cruise you've never experience the full magic of Disney. This was our 3rd cruise and like most people we take photos in the same locations each time we visit. One of our Disney Must Do's is in front of the "Fresh Catch" fish with the ship behind us. This kit was perfect to capture the beach fell I was looking for. The colors are perfect and the elements just make the whole layout stand out! Love the seagulls!
Our next favorite photo is of course in front of the ship before heading to the trams that take you to the beaches. We also always take a photo with us looking at the ship as a sign that we are looking forward to our next cruise. I just love the wave border and the palm tree is spectacular in this kit. The sea shells, sand, and foliage is perfect. Here is my layout highlighting our last day on the cruise.
My last layout is very special to me and I thought this kit was perfect to create a dedication layout to my mother. My Mom passed away in January and it has been a very difficult 3 months. I'm completely lost without her and find it hard to focus at work and at home. In her passing she left a small amount of money for myself and my two brothers. It was important to me to do something with it that would mean something and preserve her memory. As Disney Vacation Club members our home resort is Bay Lake Tower but we've always wanted to add-on at Beach Club Villas. In honor of my mother we added on points and closed in March. I love and miss you mom!! The journaling reads:
On January 22, 2013 I lost my mother who battled and survived lung cancer for over 10 years. The side events of her treatments eventually took her away from me! My heart is so heavy with her lose and with her estate she left a small amount of money to each of us children. I wanted to do something in her memory that meant something special. I never had a chance to take her to Disney with us and experience all the magic and memories we enjoy. I decided the best way to honor her memory was to add DVC points at the Beach Club so each time we visit Disney World and stay at ‘her’ resort it will be because of her and she will be with us and watching over us. It’s something that I can pass along to my children who can continue to create
memories in her honor. Welcome home to the Beach Club...I miss and love you MOM!

I thought I would share my Disney Cruise word art and I made a Castaway Cay word art as well. I also needed a blue paper so I created a few overlay papers to share too. I can't wait to see what everyone creates with this amazing new kit. This is definitely one of my favorites and sure to be one of yours as well.
Wishing you all a magical day!
