Look at these wonderful add-ons to make your pages easy to create!  I just love premades!!

What is even better is bundles at a great bargain...

You can get the kit, page starters, wordart, brushes, and page stacks for only $12.00!  That is a deal!! My first layout I couldn't resist for Magnifique Minnie in the new Fantasyland!  The colors are perfect, the poodles are stunning, and all the pink!!

My next layout we visited with Marie at Magic Kingdom just this past week and I just love how versatile this kit allowed me to create my page using her wonderful page starter and paper stack.

Last but not least in November we dine at Les Chefs de France with my wonderful MouseScrapper friends Brenda, Lisa, Brad, and their grandson Caleb.  My main reason for dining was to meet Remy.  He had his own personal assistant who we know and love from Hollywood Studios.  It was terrific to dine with friends and meet and greet with new ones.

I just love the greens in this kit as well!!  Be sure to stop by Natalie's Place Designs to grab this stunning new kit as well as a little freebie.  As always stop by Lisa Campbell Designs and MJ-AJ Designs for more inspiration as well as a few little freebies of their own.  This time I wanted to share a page starter from my Les Chefs de France layout.  I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to create your own magical layout.

She has these wonderful bundles to meet your needs from adding to your original kit to getting te entire collection all at a discount.

Absolutely a holiday must for your scrapbooking stash.  Here is a layout I created using all the wonderful premades as well as adding my own special touches from the kits. We saw Santa and Mrs. Claus at EPCOT over Thanksgiving which was very special for us because we had never seen him at EPCOT. He quite the jolly ole fellow.  The premade paper stack, wordart, and page started made it super simple and then I just added the bling, alpha titles and Christmas tree.  

Be sure to stop by Natalie's Place Designs to add to the original kit, grab those terrific premades, or snag the entire collection and a wonderful discount. Don't forget to stop by MJ-AJ designs as well as Lisa Campbell Designs for more wonderful inspiration and goodies. 

I wanted to send my deepest sympathy to Newtown CT and the unthinkable loss of loved ones.  How sad it has become that our children can not be safe in school.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  

This tragedy was unfolding the morning I flew to be with my mother and I cant wait to return this evening and hug and kiss my children. 

This holiday season has been extremely hard for me.  Last week I had to fly home to be with my mother who is not doing well.  She is a cancer survivor but the brain radiation she received has been slowly taking her away from me.  She went into the hospital just before Thanksgiving and is now in a nursing home.  She is suffering from dementia which I would not wish on anyone.  It is so very hard to see my mother this way as she is the most amazing person I know. She has a wonderful spirit and zest for life.  She is my best friend and has been there through the ups and downs of my life.  I have spent the past week by her side, even though at times she doesn't know who I am, enjoying my time with her even if it's only for a short time.  I fly home this evening knowing that this will probably be the last time I see her. Her time is near and I pray that her last days are peaceful and without pain. 

In honor of my mother I wanted to provide a facebook freebie that allows you to showcase those that you love during this holiday season. This is my mother and step-father at Christmas in 2006 after her cancer but before she started to get sick all over again.  I used Tis the Season as well as Tis the Season Add-on.  

My step-father has been my mother's constant caregiver for the past 10 years, through chemo, feeding tubes, oxygen tanks, providing all her medicine, taking her to hundreds of doctors appointments, dealing with her loss of hearing, constant eye infections, and on and on...  He is an angel sent from above who even now refuses to leave her side.  He sits with her 12 hours a day and after talking with him these past few days making sure he too takes time for himself!!  He's afraid to leave her side just in case she needs him but his health both mentally and physically is just as important. 

I ask this holiday season that as we all gather with family we may only see once a year that you tell them you love them, forgive those you may hold resentment, and take lots of pictures or video as you never know what might happen until you meet again. I am so blessed that last year we spent Christmas with my mother not knowing it might be her last Christmas.

Wishing you and your family a magical and wonderful holiday season.  May you be blessed with memories to last a lifetime.

Aglow!

I'm so excited for the new release from Natalie's Place Designs...Aglow! It's a tribute to the sights and sounds of the season. For the very first time this year we were able to watch our first ever Candlelight Processional! It was simply stunning and the so worth doing a Candlelight dining package.  This kit is perfect for creating the perfect layout to capture any holiday magical moment.

This wonderful kit contains.... 21 papers, 6 flowers, 6 ornaments, 3 bows, 3 buttons, 4 frames, 7 ribbons, 1 ricrac, 1 string, 1 hanger ribbon, 2 sets of stitching, 3 flairs, 2 candles, an angel, a flourish, a berry pick, holly, a leaf stem, 2 bead scatters, a sparkle trail, 2 lighting effects, a sparkle border, 2 trees, a wreath, a tag, a word tag, 2 music elements, a sparkle element, 8 carolers and 3 alphas. Just check it out...

Do you see those amazing Christmas carolers and those wonderful snowflakes? To make your designing easier she has also created these great premades!  There are a must have to make your designers quick and easy.

The best deal is she is offering a bundle for only $10.00!!  You will get the entire kit, paper stacks, wordarts, and page starters.  I just love deals at Christmas time!

Here is a little inspiration from me.  My first layout was from our very first Candlelight Processional we attended on November 23, 2012.  Mrs. Geena Davis was our guest reader and she did wonderful but the chorus and orchestra gave me chill bumps throughout the entire show.  All I can say is WOW!!

My second layout is from our visit with Santa Claus in downtown Disney.  It was so funny as Santa asked John Wesley what he wanted for Christmas Santa made him raise his hand and take the Santa Pledge... He could not call or text girls and girls could not call or text him.  It was so funny.  John Wesley told me later that was not going to work...haha!

My last layout I wanted to do something totally unexpected but found this kit to be totally perfect for...Periwinkle!  The blues and snowflakes were ideal!!

So don't forget to stop by Natalie's Place Designs to pick up this wonderful holiday kit...Aglow!  You also need to stop by the rest of the creative team, MJ-AJ Designs and Lisa Campbell Designs, as they have some wonderful freebies!  I thought I would share my wordart from Periwinkle.
