New Fantasyland Brigade Products now Available on Redbubble

I am so excited to announce the release of this new Fantasyland Brigade RedBubble design! This design comes in adult and kid size t-shirts as well as throw pillows, tote bags, iPod & iPad cases and phone cases!! The tote bag would be perfect for all the necessary "ish" I wind up carrying to the parks.

Not only do I absolutely adore the design of this shirt, but it's a Tinkerbell Treasure for a surprise girls trip that is happening TODAY! Flora and I are taking some of our favorite girls to Walt Disney World this weekend to celebrate our birthdays! So if you happen to see us in these amazing t-shirts, make sure you stop us and say hello! We will be tearing it up in Fantasyland, among other things! Oh, and you can stalk my IG feed to live vicariously through us if you can't get away just now. And be sure you hop on over to RedBubble and check out all my other Disney related designs.

Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

DIY Disney Scrapbook Inspiration | Project Mouse & Walt Disney World

I have been working hard on getting some much needed scrapbooking done. It seems as though I am perpetually 18 months back in my scrapbooking. So be it; but the one rule I try to live by is to only have ONE Disney vacation to scrap at a time. It's too hard to remember all the different things between trips, especially since we tend to travel at the same time of the year! I am happy to report that I am finally to that point: only the 2013 pictures are in the hopper to be scrapped. These are pictures from our 2012 Fall Break Walt Disney World trip. I'll try not to overload you, dear reader, with too many layouts at once. We do play hard when we are at the Kingdom! These are just a few of the pages today. I'll post more another time.

As I have mentioned before, I am loving using these Project Mouse kits by Sahlin Studios and Britt-ish Designs. For these pages I used Project Mouse Bundles 1, 2, & 4, plus the Days & Washi Tape Bundle, the Halloween Bundle, and the Fantasy Bundle. I also used the Stuffed with Fluff kit from Britt-ish Designs, and the Now Showing Mini Kit from Tickled Pink Studios.

This is also the first time I actually took the time to scan in any of the ephemera that we always pick up from our trips. It was fun to be able to use things like our key cards and the Cinderella's Royal Table photos in my layouts! I also snagged some images from the web to use. As long as you are not selling them, you can use them for your own purposes with no problems! Just be sure to check on resolution as they may not print very well. I hope these pages can provide you with some inspiration for your own scrapbook pages, or as a resource for some truly wonderful scrapbooking supplies. (And I just have to say, I've fallen in love with Sahlin Studios. I've used her vintage Christmas bundle and Reflection kits as well.)

Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

Scrapping Disney with Project Mouse - Digital Pocket Srapbooking

Obviously I've been doing a lot of scrapbooking lately! Do you find that you craft in spurts too? I get enthusiastic about something and sort of run with it. It's quite possible this is scrapbooking time as I have realized that I still have 2012 pictures to put in a book! Eep! I don't like having to remember that far back.

So to that end, I thought I would share with you my latest layouts of our 2012 Disney Trip. And I know I've said it a million times, but Project Mouse is saving my bacon on these layouts! It's so nice to have a Disney themed kit (or 4) to make the scrapping of these days quick and easy. It's like automatic inspiration! I love it. Here's a link to Britt-ish Designs blog where you can find all the information you need to get your own Digital Project Mouse kits. I know I can't get enough!!

For the Animal Kingdom layouts I adjusted the colors and added my own tree custom shape to make it really work for that park. And I noticed while doing this the HUGE difference between the iPhone 4 camera I was using then, and the iPhone 5 camera I am using now. WOW!

If you've used Project Mouse I would love to see your layouts too! Tag me on IG or leave me a comment here. Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

Scrapbooking Disney | Be Our Guest

I've been working again with  Project Mouse (FANTASY edition) - a collaboration of Britt at britt-ish designs and sahlin studio. And I still love it! This is another layout from our trip last fall. We actually had the opportunity to dine with the Beast at Be Our Guest! Although I was under the impression that Beast and Belle would be circling around the dining rooms, as with most character meals. This is NOT a character meal; it is an opportunity to dine in the castle and eat a lovely meal. Then you may stand in line and get your picture taken with Beast. I just hadn't done my research on this (as the experience was still relatively new). I'll know better next time.

Getting an ADR for 16 was not easy - we had to arrange it through email with a special dining agent. But as is my way, we made it happen! And perhaps because of the early hour (4:30 pm) we were all seated at the same table, which was delightfully unexpected, and truly the Disney way. We had wonderful service. In fairness, Mr. Photos from the Parks and I can be rather tough dining critics, but the food was just so-so for us. We enjoyed our meal. Doc loved his lamb chops. But we payed the same for a meal that we could have had in Cinderella's Castle and had the added bonus of the Princesses joining us. I was disappointed. But I do think we will try the counter service next time. That is, if the line isn't beastly. (See what I did there?) I'd love to hear about your experience at Be Our Guest. Was it the same for you? Did we just have an off night?

Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

Scrapping Disney | Dumbo and Storybook Circus

I've been a digital scrapbooker for many years now, and I love it. I love how little mess there is to clean up; I love how you can stop right in the middle of something and pick it up where you left off with no problem; and I love how flexible the cropping and changing of digital element can be. It makes it so much easier for this busy mom to actually get any scrapbooking done!

I've been wanting to start a Project Life style scrapbook for a while now. It looks so simple and easy - exactly what I need in this stage of my life! And I found the perfect designers for my Disney pages! This layout was completed using Project Mouse (FANTASY edition) - a collaboration of Britt at britt-ish designs and sahlin studio. I love how fresh and modern the design is and how it captures all our favorite rides in Fantasyland - both new and old: It's a Small World, The Mad Hatter's Tea Party, Peter Pan's Flight, even Be Our Guest! If you are a Disney scrapbooker, I highly recommend checking out Project Mouse. I don't get paid to recommend these products, I just really like them! And for those who are curious about the template, I used the Digi Pocket Page Protectors from Scrap Girls, another digital scrapbook supplier I am very fond of.

I think I'm really going to love this Project Life scrapbooking; I might even find myself caught up by the end of 2014! (Ok, maybe not; but a girl can dream!) Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

Scrapping Disney | Dumbo's Storybook Circus

I've been wanting to start a Project Life style scrapbook for a while now, and a new year seems like a great time to start.  I'm a digital scrapbooker, as most of you know, so I wanted some Disney specific cards and elements for scrapping our latest trip.  Brittney at britt-ish designs, and Sahlin Studio have a collaboration that is exactly what I was looking for! Their Project Mouse: FANTASY edition is really amazing. Not only is it themed for Storybook Circus, but also for everything else you can find in Fantasyland, old and new! All our favorites are represented: It's A Small World, Mad Hatter's Tea Cups, Peter Pan, even Be Our Guest! And the design is very modern and fresh.

I am really in love with how easy the product is to use and the layout went together in a snap! I think as I get more familiar with using the Project Life system, I will find it even faster than this one was. I hope so! Who knows, I might even find myself getting caught up on my scrapbooking in the near future! (Hey, a girl can dream.) For the template on this layout, I used the Digital Pocket Page Protector collection from Scrap Girls, another company I have loved for digital scrapbooking supplies. If you are a digital scrapper you really should check out all the Project Mouse products. I'm not getting paid to say so, I simply love the design!

Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!
