Need for Speed Released

We are back from our recent 7-day Western Caribbean cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy!  Wow is that ship amazing!  If anyone is thinking about cruising Disney is the only way to go.  I know it's more expensive then most cruise lines BUT you get what you pay for and with Disney you get top notch service, the cast members are amazing, and so many magical moments for the entire family.  It is truly the only cruise line that I would allow my children to roam freely and still feel they were safe and in a family friendly environment.  Of course they have wave phones and we are always running into them and seeing them and still do family things  together but it's truly a vacation for everyone.  Stay tuned over the next few months as I'm sure I will have new Cruise layouts coming your way!

Now for the release for Natalie's Place Designs - Need for Speed!!  I am so thrilled with this kit!! She has totally outdone her self with this new kit and the new Test Track color scheme and elements.  The Test Track Car alone took her over 6 hours to create and has over 67 layers!  Here is the kit description...

there are 19 papers, 5 flowers, 1 leaf, 4 frames, 4 buttons, 1 bow, 8 ribbons,1 ricrac, 1 string, a bunting, 3 arrow elements, 4 spiral elements, 5 flairs, 2 wheels (one open, one closed) , 2 flags, 2 flames,a scatter, a splatter, a curved roadway, a star element, a staple, a piece of scotch tape, 5 road signs, 3 icon flairs, 4 license plates, a set of keys, 2 borders, a tachometer, 4 tachometer circles, a race car, 8 themed elements and 3 alphas....

Plus she has these great bundle deals to help with all your scrapbooking needs.  This is definitely one of those Disney must have kits!  Just check out these bundles!

My first layout is when we rode Test Track for the very first time over New Year's.  The redesign of the ride is so geometric and so many bright colors.  I just how how all the colors work together to make one amazing layout!

My second layout is from just this past Saturday.  After getting of the Disney Fantasy we headed to Disney World for one day.  We visited Magic Kingdom in the morning but then headed over to EPCOT as I love the Flower and Garden Festival this time of year.  We meet a wonderful family aboard the ship and we meet up with them for a few hours at EPCOT.  Melanie and I planned a meet at Test Track as her 8 year old daughter had never rode Test Track and takes fast rides one step at a time.  She was up for the challenge but there was 7 of us so Neil rode in the car ahead of us.  As we were on the ride Melanie proceeded to tell me that every time she rides Test Track the ride breaks down.  It wasn't 2 minutes later and the ride stop!!  We were just about to go through the doors to the outside track and we stopped!  Neil called me and it was his car on the track on the embankment stopped!  He sent me photo's from his phone of the hood up.  Needless to say it shook up Giana being her first time to ride but it wasn't long after she stated she was ready to give it a try once again.  Here is our little Test Track adventure.

Please sure to stop by Natalie's Place Designs and grab Need for Speed as well as the amazing date stamp freebie I used on my layout!  Plus don't forget Lisa Campbell Designs and MJ-AJ Designs for some more great inspiration and freebies.  I used a few elements of Natalie's and combined them to make my own Test Track number freebie as well as some other elements to add-on to the kit.

My last layout I went totally not "Goofy" and did something outside the box.  I really feel in love with the yellow page starter element so I used that as my inspiration for my layout.

In March 2012 for Spring Break we went to Disney World and visited EPCOT's International Flower and Garden Festival.  It is one of my favorite times of year to visit Disney World.  For the first time however we meet Blossom and Wil Grower.  They were quite the characters and we found them as we entered EPCOT. I was with other MouseScrappers so you can image all the picture taking going on with these Blossum and Wil.  As my fellow MouseScrapper friend "Brenda" put it we were all paparazzi!!  My layout was also inspired by her layout on MouseScappers with Blossum and Wil Grower.

My first layout is my favorite character meet and greet of our trip..Alright well I had three but this is in the top  5...LOL!  Gaston obviously is the best around telling Adrianna that he could beat the Beast but Adrianna said he could not.  Well Gaston stated he was the strongest but again Adrianna said he was not.  So that lead to Gaston suggesting a wrestling match that turned into a thumb wrestling match to see who was the strongest.  It was a magical experience and a priceless memory of our trip.

My next layout I wanted to highlight the amazing water fountain in the new Fantasyland at Gaston's Tavern.  It's a definitely photo "Must Do."  

We also stumbling upon Gaston on another occasion in the new Fantasyland just prior to dining at Be Our Guest.  He was definitely full of himself that day as well!  Showing off his muscles and all!!

Finally I used all premades to make this layout which made it quick and easy!  We of course had to try the LeFou's Brew with it's frothy topping.  The kids also had to try on the cool hats at Bonjour! Village Gifts. 

Hopefully I've given you some inspiration for Natalie's Place Designs Antlers and Brew kit.  You won't be disappointed so be sure to stop over to grab this amazing bundle of goodies.  Be sure to stop by Lisa Campbell Designs as well as MJ-AJ Designs for some wonderful add-ons to the kit.  I wanted to share with you as well a little freebie from me.
