My next layout is from October 2010 when we attend the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party.  Oh how I wish we could go this year but instead I created a layout from our dinner at Crystal Palace using Natalie's Place Designs Take Notice Page Starter and Word Art.  A few little finishing touches and it's a unique personalized layout.

Be sure to stop by MJ-AJ Designs and Lisa Campbell Designs for more wonderful inspiration and of course some terrific freebies to add your collection.  I thought I would provide my word art "A Tail isn't a Tail to them, it's just a little bit extra at the back."

Animator's Palate

One of the most magical things we experienced aboard the Disney Fantasy was at Animator's Palate. Our on second evening of dining in the resturant as soon as we sat down we had a placement and markers with instructions to draw a character. We immediately started drawing and shortly after they gathered up everyone's designs. After dinner is when the real magic began. We were dazzled by a show of music and a cast of characters...who you might ask? Our characters!! They put all our characters to life through animination.  I did a double page layout using MJ-AJ Designs Freebie Template 51...slightly modified of course.   On the right side I scanned and placed all our individual drawings. As you can see we each picked our own colors and each of us are very talented.. hehe!

On the left side of the layout I wanted to showcase each of us with our own drawing in hand.  I also had Neil hold up the menu for the evening so I could take a photo to use for later as seen below.  We were also very excited to see Wemick, our head server, once again but this time in his Alabama "Roll Tide" jacket.  John Wesley was the first to notice that so familiar pattern.  Alexia was also spoiling us by cutting up John Wesley's steak and making sure Adrianna had plenty of Mac and Cheese.

I used Natalie's Place Designs, Animating Our World kit to add those special touches to my layout.  The drawings and colors in this kit were perfect.  I also used the alpha from her Rock Star kit to create my word art title.  I thought since I was sharing my layout I would also share a freebie just for you.

I thought I would add the Animator's Palate official certificate seal as well as a blank placement to assist in your creativity.  I can't wait to see what you design.  As always I would love to hear your feeback on my designs and freebies.  Wishing you a magical day!

She has these great additions to go along with this kit to include word arts and great page starters.

To the make the kit even sweeter she has bundled them so you can get all three for a great price!

My first layout I used a page starter as well as a word art.  I just love the colors and elements in this kit.  The additions made it super easy to whip this layout together.   We just love Minnie and John Wesley received some extra hugs and sweetness from Minnie herself.  

My next layout is from our recent cruise on the Disney Fantasy so this kit made it super easy to complete another layout with Sailor Minnie.  It was great to meet her and I really love the blues in this kit which add that extra unexpected surprise.  Plus it goes perfect with her sailor outfit.

My next layout definitely provides the unexpected out of the classic Disney colors is the the blacks and yellows.  On the Disney Fantasy in the La Piazza Lounge they have on display this wonderful Vespa with a side car.  I couldn't resist to take the kids there during the day and take a few pictures.  Once on the bike they could turn the handle and it actually made noise as if they were riding...so cool!

My last two layouts I used the wonderful new templates also available from Natalie's Place Designs...Punch it out.   They are like no other template I've seen and trust me I've looked at tons!!  The punch out feature is unique and provides interest to any layout!!  Check them out here...

One of our favorite parks is Hollywood Studios. On our recent trip to Disney World in August 2012 we stayed for the very first time at the Boardwalk Resort and never realized just how easy a walk it was to the park, so when I say this amazing new kit from Natalie's Place Designs I was thrilled.

With is wonderful new kit are some terrific add-ons to make your designs that much easier to create!  Wonderful Word Art, Page Starters, and Paper Stacks!

I had so much fun playing with this kit.  My first layou I wanted to really highlight John Wesley with Shelby Mayer on of the Citizens of Hollywood.  John Wesley normally doesn't interact but has always stepped forward when he came to Shelby.  I think it stems from their first meeting in 2008 when Shelby gave John Wesley a gold plastic "$" key chain and told him when he was 16 to trade it in for a new caaaaar!  Oddly enough I have that key chain sitting in front of my computer monitor.  I used one of her terrific page starters and word arts and a few touches of my own and tahdah!

My next layout is Adrianna and Mrs. Dorma Nesmond one of our favorite of many of the Citizens of Hollywood.  Do you know she speaks several languages!!  She is such a sweet lady and definitely someone we must visit while at Hollywood Studios.

My first page I really wanted to showcase Adrianna's interaction with Peter Pan on the Disney Fantasy.  It was the most amazing adventure between the two of them.  

It's a lot of journaling and it's small so the journaling reads:

While wondering around on Deck 5 during Pirate Night Adrianna stumbled upon Peter Pan.    There was no one around and Peter Pan really knew how to get Adrianna going.  He told her she could not catch him which started them literally running around the balcony on Deck 5.  Mind you Neil is down on deck 3 with lots of people watching the two of them running around the deck!  She was laughing so hard and Peter Pan had the biggest smile as he was definitely outwitting her.  One time around he hid behind the elevator so she would not see him and she went running right past him.  They did this over and over again as other guest passed by.  Then Peter Pan did handstands against the wall and Adrianna would warn him when a cast member was approaching.  As she warned him Peter Pan would drop down and look all around like he was not doing anything.  Adrianna was just beside herself.  Then finally about 5-6 other girls joined in with them and that is when Hook and Smee arrived just below on Deck 4 for a meet and greet.  Peter Pan and all the kids would duck down behind the rail while Peter Pan made a paper airplane.  The kids and Peter Pan, for at least 10 minutes, played in this manner while Hook could not figure out what was going on above him.  Then finally Peter Pan found the perfect moment to throw the airplane at Capt Hook.   Capt Hook looked up and saw Peter Pan and shook his first while they all chanted “Hook is a Cod Fish!” over and over again.  Alas Peter Pan hopping and skipping had to go but not before he gave each of them a big hug for helping him get Capt Hook!   Definitely one of my most magical memories!

Well speaking of Hook and Smee Adrianna and John Wesley actually meet with them a little earlier in the evening.  I loved the colors in this kit and the word art is perfect!!  Do you notice the blue and red of Smee and those amazing feathers!!  I had so much doing the clusters on this layout.  Finally for our quick trip in August I thought our meet and great with Tinkerbell and Terrance the kit would be perfect...

I just love all the bling this kit has to offer as well along with another amazing word art!  Natalie totally rocked this kit!!  Don't forget to stop by Natalie's Place Designs to grab this wonderful or versatile kit.  She just might have a little surprise for you too!  Be sure to stop by Lisa Campbell Designs and MJ AJ Designs for more inspiration as well as some terrific freebies.  Here is a small freebie just for stopping by....
