More Quest for Adventure!

Good Morning!! I'm so excited this morning as Natalie's Place Designs has been busy again creating some amazing new items for one of her amazing kits.  Quest for Adventure is such a wonderful kit for all types of layouts.  So much so that she has created an add-on with 8 papers, 33 new elements and an alpha!!  PLUS.. 4 paper stacks, 6 word arts, and 5 page starters!  I don't know about you but those premades make my life SO much easier.  Well let's take a peek!

I just love it when she adds to an existing kit and especially one as stunning as Quest for Adventure.  Here are a few layouts from me.  The kids for the very first time decided to participate in the Kids Discovery Club at Animal Kingdom.  You have 6 different locations throughout the park were they have educational stops to education the kids on animals and nature.  Check it out.

As luck would have it my photopass CD arrived just as I was working on this kit and I was super excited to be able to use that great camera in her add-on as well as one of her wonderful paper stacks. 

It was so easy and fast to create this layout using one of her premades!  Woohoo!  As we all know one Disney Must do while at Animal Kingdom is Kilimanjaro Safari so I really wanted to highlight some of my favorite photos. 

Just check out those new animals!!  Do you realize that she draws all her animals by hand and puts them together to create the depth and layering in each one!!  I could NEVER do that!!  I just love her word art!! Natalie is also offering her original Quest for Adventure kit at 40% off until the end of April!!

So let's get started!  Let's look at the first layout and then the last layout I created.  First the White Rabbit...

Adrianna and her friend had such great fun visiting with the White Rabbit in March.  He was waiting outsite the Tea Cups while Alice was on a break for tea.  The last layout I created was from our meet and greet with Tweedledee and Tweedledum.  We haven't seen them in quite sometime and they definitely had the kids laughing and kidding around.  Always up to mischief those two!!

Then I used one of Natalie's great page starters and created a layout from our visit with the Mad Hatter on the Disney Magic in January 2010.  He was showing us all how to have a proper Tea Party and then met with each of the guests.  Adrianna although was in the back of the room managed to dart her way to the front and be first in line.  I can't image!

Getting back to our March 2012 trip once Alice returned from her tea break the kids waited in line once again to meet with her.  This time Adrianna decided to share a secret?  You can never tell with her what she might say... I just LOVE the word art add-on to this kit!  It made it so easy to create her secret with Alice.

Now it's time for my absolute favorite!!!  This one had to be a double page and I used 2 page starters and one word art add-on to make it all work perfectly!  Later in the day after we had meet with Alice and the White Rabbit we left to eat lunch but then as we were walking to Tomorrowland we decided to take a short stop on the wall at the Tea Cups.  The White Rabbit was once again out but no Alice.  Within a few minutes Alice came skipping out and what she does next the girls will never forget!  She asked them if they wanted to take a spin in a Tea Cup with her!!!  What?? Of course!!  A definite magical memory they will never forget!  Here is the full layout..

Now the left side...

Disney World Spring Break 2012 - Columbia Harbour House

I wanted to post another layout from our recent March Spring Break 2012 trip.  We LOVE Columbia Harbour House at Magic Kingdom so much so that we ate there twice this past trip.  The second time around we had a wonderful cast member who stepped in an offered her apron to Adrianna who was wearing her "WHITE" Rapunzal Wedding dress.  She was so sweet and kind and it worked perfectly to keep her dress clean and free of KETCUP!!  Here is my layout using Natalie's Place Designs Give Me Liberty Vol 1 and Vol 2.  I just love how it turned out!!
