Disney LO's

So here are most of my Disney LO's I have been working on. I still have about 10 more pages to go to finish the book. Also not all the pages are quite finished yet. I need to add a few titles and journaling to them yet but wanted to start sharing them anyway. Hope you enjoy them!!

Taking the plunge!!!

Well, Uncle Sam or I should say Uncle Bush is giving me free money on Monday!! I think this stimulus payment is really dumb but since I am getting $600. care of George Bush, I am going to treat myself and buy an Expressions machine. It's the first of all the dumb things that our president has done that I am actually benefiting from. So thanks President Bush for my machine!!

Been a while!!

So I slacked again and haven't posted for a while. The truth is, it's because I have been busy actually scrapping. You know all that stuff we spend hundreds of dollars shopping for but never seem to use any of , Well, I actually dove into my stash and used it for once!!

OK, well mostly because of my weekend long crop I went to. It was pretty fun. I enjoyed myself. 2 of my friends had to cancel at the last minute so it was just Alexis and I but we still had fun. I was able to get 60 pages done. Yes, I said "60". I was very organized before so it was easy to get pages done quickly doing that. Since I have almost 130 pages for my Disney album, I knew I had to be this way.

Since I have come back from the crop I have done about another 25. And tomorrow I have our Cricut Swarm to attend so I am hoping to get lots more finished then as well. Once I am all finished I will post lots of pics.

But now I need to go pack my things for the Swarm!! I will update more Sunday!

The countdown to my weekend scrap retreat is on!!

Only 5 more days to go!! WOO HOO!!! I am so excited! I really haven't had the time to scrap lately so I am really looking forward to having so much time to do it. 48 hours of non stop scrappin!!! I don't plan on sleeping much!! Everything is packed up and ready to go. Just need the time to go by so that I can be on my way!

Now the only dilemma I am having is that I have way too many pictures. I have almost 126 pages to do for my Disney book. I have them all organized in the page protectors with coordinating papers and embellishments. I figured the more organized I am now, the more I will get done there. Since I have so much to do, I need to be prepared as much as possible. Anyways, I think I need to split them up and make two books. Something that i really don't want to do. I like when people can look at one of your books in one showing and see your entire trip in a whole. I am not too happy about that and now I need to look for another album. That should be fun!! Took forever for me to find the one I have now. I should just check into getting a second one of the one I have. Wish me luck finding it!!

More shopping and piture dilema!

OK, so I was able to find the in Stich'z from http://www.embellishonline.com/. I am so excited!! I have been wanting them for so long with no luck. Well, most places have them, but not the ones that I wanted.

Last night I decided to start organizing the pictures I want to do for my Disney book while at my crop next month. I narrowed my pics for each LO and started putting them into the sleeves of my book. So here comes the problem. The book had an original 20 pages. I added about 30 more and guess what? I haven't even used up 1/2 of my pictures and I am out of sleeves. This is going to be a HUGE book. I need to go buy about 4 more packs maybe even more. We took almost 3,000 pictures while there and I want to show everything. So, how do you narrow down your pics when you have so many? Usually I only do 2-3 pics of something but since I am making a book just for this trip, I want everything in it. Have you ever gotten carried away and scrapped everything?? What did you do to simplify your book. Any ideas would be helpful.

UPDATE on my wish list!!

Well, I guess I am still out of control cause I bought more today. I went and got most of the things on my wish list. This should be enough!!! I think I am done...For now!! I am sure something cute will come along that I HAVE to have!!


Anyways, I was able to pick up:

• Large brads
• Heidi Swapp Bling
• More alcohol inks
• More spray bottles
• Ordered the last of my pictures
