The thrill of Disney

This is another jam-packed Disney layout! I couldn't resist this wild paper when I saw how well it coordinated with my boys' orange and green Hawaiian shirts. I didn't have to use too many embellishments, considering the paper and photos did most of the work! At the time, I was very obsessed with eyelets, and I used a lot of them on this layout, in a lot of photo corners. I embellished them even more by typing ribbon around each one for an extra punch! This isn't my usual style, but looking at this layout always makes me happy (and hungry)!

Spending the day at Animal Kingdom

As you may have noticed, journaling is not one of my strengths. I love when my pages have journaling, I just hate doing it! I keep my goal to: add the place and date, and sometimes if I'm really ambitious, I'll add some journaling. This layout contains the most journaling in my history of scrapbooking. I really spent a lot of time and effort writing, re-writing, typing, setting the paper correctly, printing off testers, playing with the font size, etc. before I felt like I got it right. Maybe that's why it's not my favorite thing to do! There are certain experiences, though, that must be recorded and shared, and our experience at Animal Kingdom was one of them, so I put in the extra effort. I love the purple and green combination of this layout, and it is the simplest one I did from our Disneyworld trip (maybe because I spent so much time on the journaling!) I used simple little slide projector covers to add each child's initial to their photo, used some ink around edges, some fiber, and it was done!

Fun in the Sun!

This layout has a lot going on! The pictures are all simple and pretty similar, so I wanted to make it exciting by using fun, colorful paper as the background. Doing this also allows for more pictures, since I didn't have to worry about embellishments as much- the paper did it all! I set the title and a picture at an angle to bring symmetry to the two pages, and used only a couple of colors for accents. I only found two ribbons that I liked with this paper, so I used them continuously behind the title and picture at the bottom. They're simply folded and tucked under, adding dimension and interest. I used different sticker letters to create the title, and set some at an angle.
