World of Laughter Add-on Release Plus Freebie

One of my all time favorite kits from Natalie's Place Designs is her "World of Laughter" and when she decided to expand her kit with an Add-on , Word Art and Page Corners I was in heaven!!  The colors and glitter elements throughout this kit as simply stunning.  So let's get started with her new add-on...

Then she created this wonderful set of Word Art...
Continuing with these amazing Page Corners.

The best deal of all is until Friday you can get her original World of Laughter kit for 35% off!  That's the entire collection for just $10.25!  What a deal!!

Here is the layout I created using all of her items.. the original kit, the add-on, a word art and a page corners.  I had so much fun putting this all together.  This was in November when my son and I took a ride just by ourselves.  It was quality time for mom and son and it was so nice to sit and relax and enjoy the ride.

As I was attempting to be brave I thought I would take a stab at creating my own elements with the trademark glitter in every elements.  My freebie contribution is some date or journal tags however you would like to use them.  I can't wait to see what wonderful layouts everyone creates with all these new additions.

Happy Valentines Day!! I hope everyone has a magical day filled with all your dreams come true with that special someone. 

I'm back again with another release from Natalie's Place Designs.  This time she has been busy with some great templates perfect for when you need to capture and preserve precious memories with journaling.

I had so much fun playing with these new templates.  The first one I really wanted to capture our It's A Bugs Life experience with those wonderful "Bug" 3D glasses especially since we hadn't watched it in a long time. It was simply amazing to see the Tree of Life so close up.

She also has this great wordart add-on.  Just the excuse I need to go to the Food and Wine Festival!!

On our recent trip to Disney World over Thanksgiving we visited Animal Kingdom and as we were leaving the park we stumbled on Ms. DeVine.  She is amazing to watch and so beautiful.  I took a photo I just love of of her and this kit really allowed me to show case her beauty.

My second layout once again for the very first time we explored the Pangani Forest.   I never even realized all those animals were back there and it was fun to discover even more of Animal Kingdom.  I was definitely amazed at the Gorilla's and being able to see the Hippo swim under water through the glass.  This is another favorite layout showcasing my favorite animal discoveries.  The purples and green just pop on this page and I really like the mask included in the kit which allowed me to showcase this wonderful Gorilla.

Last but not least for the 2nd Annual MouseScrappers Speed Scrap Marathon I used this kit to create this layout to showcase Meeko and Terk.  I love the alpha in this kit as well as he masked leaves.  Does anybody see the hidden Mickey. :)
