Actually getting some scrapping done!!!

Tonight has been so much fun!  I have been participating in an online scrap over at disboards.com (for those of us who love everything Disney) in the creative community.  I have been playing for most of the night and actually got a few pages done. 


This first page is one that I actually completed last night.  I had finally received my new Best of Pixar cricut cartridge and had to play with it.  Sorry about the lighting, I am trying to figure that part out.  I love this layout but wish that I would have made the title bigger.  I know we are our worst critique but this one I may have to go and fix.



These next two are pages that I have been working on during the crop and I am still not sure how I like them either. During this crop I tried to stick with my original layout and not change my mind fifty times.  I like to take my time when I scrap and rushing like that was definitely not my norm.

Well, after a year I have finally decided to actually get this blog going. Starting a blog is going to be a challenge for me but it's a new year and I am trying to get my scrapping caught up, aren't we all? I guess I am like any typical mom, I am busy. Between kids, work, the house, keeping my man happy, the dogs, and the pigs (yes, my 8 yr old daughter is raising pigs for 4H) I just have little time to sit down and do what I want to do. So, this year I am taking my scrapbooking back!! I will not worry about whether or not the dishwasher has been unloaded or if there are shoes everywhere by the front door. Will my house be a little bit untidy? YES. Do I care? YES. Is it going to drive me crazy? Probably, but at least I will have ME TIME and right now that is all that matters. So, here I go.

Since Dec. 2006 my family has been going to Disney World pretty regularly. We started with a trip for our two oldest kiddos, then 6 &4 and our littlest was 11 months and stayed with her God Mother while we went to sunny Florida. The trip was perfect! So, the following December my parents went to Disney and my youngest, then almost 2, and I went with them. It was all down hill from there. Since that first trip in 2006 we have been to Disney 5 times and have another trip planned this May 2011. Many people think we are crazy but we don't care. It is the only place where my entire family has a fantastic time and I (the mom) don't have to do anything but bathe my kids and at some point put them in bed. Disney is Bliss for me!! Because of all of our trips to Disney I have a lot of scrapbooking to do. I have just about completed the first trip digitally and Ashtyn, my youngests first trip is complete as well. So I still have May 08, Sept 09 and Sept 10 to finsh. I had better get busy!!!
