So, I'm still working on scrapbooking our Disney trip from 2009.  Probably no chance that I'm going to finish this album before we go to Disney World  again, since we are going next week.  Oh, well.  A page at a time and slowly but surely it will get done.

I used Whisper White, Basic Black, and Real red cardstock.  The Mickey ears and title were cut using my Cricut and the Mickey and Friends cartridge.  The Disney paper is from my stash.

Here is another scrapbook club layout.  The girls in my club are good about giving me ideas about what theme they want, and this rainy day fun page is one that they requested.  I am always happy when they give me ideas for club layouts.  Saves wear and tear on my brain!

The raindrops were made with the fabulous Stampin' Up! Brushed Silver cardstock and the two-step bird punch.  Don't you just love the versatility of that punch?  I have used it for so many things besides a bird.   Other cardstock we used was Pacific Point and Whisper White.  The umbrellas were made with Celebrations DSP (retired) and the scallop border punch.  We sponged the edges of the mats and clouds with Basic Gray ink.  This make me want to go out and play in the rain!

This is the layout we did for our Stampin' Up! scrapbook club in June.  Can you tell we are Texas Rangers fans? 

For this layout we used Real Red, Whisper White, Pacific Point, and Crumb Cake carsdstock. Real Red and Pacific Point markers were also used. Petite Pennant and circle punches created the banner and the Texas Rangers logo.  The banner is attached to Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine.  The baseball bats were cut from the Crumb Cake cardstock.

What do y'all think?  I was happy with the way it turned out. 
I decided to start this blog to share my love for stamping, scrapbooking, and any and all things Disney.   I began scrapbooking when my now 13-year-old daughter was a baby, then life got in the way.  I was working full time and raising my two children (I also have an 11-year-old son).  There was no time for much of anything besides taking care of my family and working.  (I'm sure you moms can relate!)  I began scrapbooking again in 2007, after we took a family trip to Walt Disney World.  I wanted to get those pictures in scrapbooks while the memories were still fresh!   I did finish my Disney album, but am still behind on everything else.  Little by little, I plan to get it done. 

I joined a Stampin' Up! club in 2008, and then in 2009 I was fortunate enough to stop working full time.  It was then that I became a Stampin' Up Demonstrator.  I will be using many Stampin' Up! products in my layouts.  Click on the "Shop Now" button on the right to order Stampin' Up! products.

I also have the best job ever, as an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner with Crazy About the Mouse (www.crazyaboutthemouse.com/mary).  I get to help families plan magical Disney vacations.  My services are free to you with your booking.  I will plan your itinerary, dining reservations, and anything else you need for the perfect vacation, whether it be Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney cruise, or any other Disney destination.  Email me at mary@crazyaboutthemouse.com, and we will get you on your way to Disney!
