Introducing the largest and most amazing kit with Natalie's Place Designs new kit..Weekend Warrior! We are big Star Wars Weekend fans and this kit is perfect in so many ways!! I went crazy with this kit and created 5 layouts plus the front and back cover to my Star Wars scrapbook.

Just look at these previews...It has 30 papers, 8 flowers, 11 frames, a bow, 4 leaves, 6 folded paper flowers, 8 stars, 16 ribbons, 2 ricrac, 5 rolled flowers, 5 strings, 2 tags, a baker's twine, a staple cluster, 2 stitches, 5 word tags, 2 word crawls, 2 planets, a rifle, 4 starships, 5 chevron elements, a border, a clip, a clip on a string, a dot splatter, a mud splatter, 6 lightsabers, 18 fun elements, 4 alphas and 33 character dolls. 

I had so much fun working with this kit.  So many layouts come to mind but since this past June we were able to meet Greedo for the very first time I thought it was fitting to do a layout to highlight him first.  The colors are perfect for him and the DOLL is AWESOME!! 

My next layout I used one of her great paper stacks and word art to quickly create this layout.  A few frame and journaling and this layout turned out great. Do you see the DOLL...amazing!

One of our favorite meet and greets was with Chip and Dale as Ewoks.  Oh my goodness they were so much fun and Adrianna was so excited to see Dale as usual!!  The colors and so brilliant together and her paper stack made it once again so easy to create my layout.  Do you see those DOLLS!!!  So cute and perfect!

One of Neil's favorite Star Wars characters to interact with his Zam Wessel.  I can't image why...LOL!  Her eyes are stunning but she's a bounty hunter!  At any rate I simply love these colors together and the word art once again make is so simply to great a quick and easy layout.  Do you see that DOLL?!

We were so lucky to be waiting to see Kit Fisto and Mace Windu when along came Shaak Ti!  We love multiple character meets..woohoo!!  Another great paper stack and a few frames and clusters and I'm done! I love the Shaak Ti wordart so to go along with the theme I created my own Kit Fisto and Mace Windu word art to complete the page.  Do you see those wonderful DOLLS?!

My final layout I created the front and back to my Star Wars Weekend 2013 scrapbook.  Do you see ALL THOSE DOLLS!!!  There are 33 character dolls in all plus coordinated papers and elements making this kit the most versatile I've ever worked with...a Star Wars Weekend fans dream!!!

Back

The layouts are off center because I created it using a Shutterfly toolkit created by Studio Wendy.  It makes it so easy to create the front, back and spine of your book.  The ships are fabulous in this kit as well as the brushes, papers, ....well everything!!

Disney World Vacation - First 2 layouts!

I dont' know about you but we've been having a very busy summer! The kids believe it or not have football practice and cheer practice this summer and it's keep us on our toes. We did however manage to sneak in a Disney World vacation..no big surprise! LOL!

It is by far the best trip we have taken in many many trips. It was mostly due to the fact that we had two special guests with us this time. First we took one of Adrianna's friends along who stayed with us for 7 days and then for 3 days we had another special friend who we meet on our previous Disney Cruise vacations. So the 6 of us had a great time!! Some quick highlights are we surprised the kids and stayed at Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village in a savannah view for 3 days, our Disney friend was a surprise, we were picked as the first family to open Magic Kingdom, and we were selected as the first family to open Chef's Mickeys...plus many more magical moments. All I can say is WOW!!!

We'll here are my first two layouts from our recent trip.

The Surprise reads:
A few weeks prior to our vacation I sent an email to Carelene to ask when she was leaving the ship and told her our dates that we would be visiting Disney World. I didn’t hear from her for a few days but then she sent an email and stated that her tour was up and she was flying home that day. I sent a response telling her we would love to visit with her but understood she was ready to go home. She was so excited and stated she was going to ask if they would change her flight so she could visit. Well over those few weeks it was planning... just in case. We didn’t find out if she was really going to stay with us until 2-3 days before our arrival. Neil had it all planned out..he would tell the kids he had to go to the doctor for his foot. He injured it a few months back so that would not alarm the kids. Saturday morning Neil headed to the port and the kids and I rode the bus to Hollywood Studios. We rode several rides and Neil called me and kept me posted. It was around 11:30 when I caught my first glimpse of Carelene. It was very important to her that she be the one to come up behind Adrianna and hug her first. Adrianna is always sneaking up on her when we cruise so now it was her turn. I took the kids over by the Play and Dine to look at the ducks in the water. I told them Neil was on his way so we could just take a break. Once I saw her I told Adrianna...look at the ducks. She immediately got up and was looking into the water when Carelene came running up behind her. All our short term planning and hard work paid off! The moment was magical and priceless!

We really enjoyed swimming at Kidani Village but I think they had more fun playing with the underwater camera that belonged to Carelene!!  Stay tuned for more magical memories.

Aye Carumba! Released

Everyone loves Donald and who doesn't love meeting Donald in Mexico at EPCOT.  He is definitely a Disney "must do" and we visit with him on almost every trip.  I can't believe how young my kids look compared to now but amazingly enough they still love to meet with Donald!  The colors and textures in this kit are so beautiful so I couldn't resist the wonderful blue green color palate and not to mention her great wordart that made the whole layout super easy!

My next layout is from October 2010 when we visited and they had finally completed the construction on the new counter service in Mexico.  We really enjoyed eating at La Cantina de San Angel and love the seating venue and the view it provides.  Her page starter and paper stack made it quick and simple to whip this layout together!  I love quick and easy!!
