This week on MouseScrappers A Grieving Mommy (aka Denise) is hosting a wonderful scraplift challenge until Jul 24th.  Previously she did a chat room and MouseScrappers Birthday Bash coloring page challenge which really took me out of my comfort zone but was so much fun! Here is the page we were given to scraplift.

Well last night on the MouseScrappers during the speed scrap chat room I asked if anybody would like a freebie from the layout.  I had a definite yes.  I tried to post it last night but between 4shared and the blog I didn't have much luck.  Well today is a new day.

Casablanca Released

I'm so excited about Casablanca a new kit from Natalie's Place Designs. The colors are absolutely stunning!  The elements are perfect, the papers are amazing, and so many wonderful ways you can create stunning layouts.  From meet and greets, dining, shopping, to travel experiences this kit is perfect!

In March 2011 we were the Grand Marshals at Magic Kingdom.  Once we departed the car we had a wonderful spot along the parade route to watch the rest of the parade.  Each character approached the kids and gave them extra attention. Well the last time we say Abu was in 2008 at the Pirate and Pals Party and he's a family favorite.  When Abue approached she couldn't resist giving him BIG hug!

My second layout is from our trip in 2010.  I call this trip the vacation of secrets.  It was Adrianna's birthday so she had to tell everyone is was her birthday but only in secret!  I just love this template from A Grieving Mommy for the weekly Challenge on MouseScrappers. 

The colors are so stunning.  I love the color pattern in this kit. Be sure to check out Natalie's Place Designs to snag her Casablanca kit. Don't forget to stop by the Creative Team as they have some wonderful freebies!!

Introducing..."Minnie"

This past week I discovered a beautiful Shetlie in GA for sale.  I was so excited but didn't want to get my hopes up since the previous week was a let down in our search process.  It has been 5 months since my precious Mystic passed away and the house as been so empty without him.  The kids have hinted about getting a new puppy but we just didn't want to let them down if we weren't ready or could find one.  Monday I found the perfect one.  I had to wait until today so Neil and I could drive to Georgia to take a take a look at her and then ulitmately bring her home.  She is perfect and the kids had no idea.  Neil picked them up from summer care and she was hiding in the laundry room off the kitchen. John Wesley was the first to open the door and discover our little surprise.  It was love at first site!

Today we welcome Lochlyn Let the Memories Begin "Minnie" to the Young Family!

Isn't she precious!!  We are totally in love with her and plan to spoil her with all our hearts!  Wishing all of you a magical evening.

Cool Wash Freebie

The other day while attempting to scrapbook our newest trip from June 2011 I decided to use a great template from Mousescrappers.com Template Challenge #70 Hosted by Californiateri.  The kids were so hot this past trip with the weather being almost 100 degrees daily that a ice cold Coke Icee was the perfect treat.  We were at EPCOT so we headed to the Cool Wash.  Oddly enough I always thought it was just a place to get sprayed with water on hot summer days but you can also get a delicous treat!!  Here is my layout..

Jessica (Kramer.zoo) on Mousescrappers made the suggestion to provide my wordart as a freebie.  Well I thought I would do a little extra and provide some of the elements as well that I made for the layout.  So here you go my first little freebie kit inspired by my Cool Wash layout.

 I went a little crazy on the wordart title but I wanted to give everyone some freedom when doing their layouts.  I hope you enjoy my little Cool Wash freebie and I'd love to hear your feeback. 

Wishing you a magical evening!
