Nice challenge Mary Pat. I want to see if I can find some more Disney photos to use and maybe I can finally finish up our trip from 2010!
That should be a great page! We're doing a Disney Cruise next week so I'm going to put some small books together for my girls...hopefully before we leave but may not happen until after ;-)
GREAT LEAP CHALLENGE MP! I have picts and papers selected but unfortunately this meeting can't end quick enough for me to get back to play! I just wanted to stop in and chat for a few. :o

Oh, my goodness! I have been gone and forgot about the Mini starting tonight! I feel like I am still on a ship! Rocking and rolling! I really like your challenge, and will try to do it tonight or tomorrow. I haven't even been down to my creaft room yet!
Great challenge, and I love this sketch.

I read lots of things before we went and I bought a small clipboard and cut up white cardstock into quarters and took along a black sharpie pen for any characters to sign but since I do digi...I think I'm gonna have to scan the signatures and add them somehow to each page.
A cruise sounds fun but since I don't know how to swim....I'm a little paranoid about big ships. And with all the "accidents" happening with the cruise ships, I have no desire to go on one!

We've discussed this as we'll finally have the whole family in FL in June for HS Grad parties. We're having a big family get together after for a week.

LOL! If a problem occurs it won't matter if you know how to swim or not. I'd be nervous if it wasn't Disney; I'm fairly confident of their Quality Control and their detest of law suits so I'm going to be positive. Definitely won't do Carnival though! This is our first cruise, actually our first big vacation.
Just watching the news and am so sad about the death of Davie Jones...one of my first crushes!

Would you go with your DH & DSs or other family members. I was hoping my brothers & DHs family would be interested but they weren't. Just as well. I'm looking forward to it; I've only heard great things about their cruises. We're on the one that started to sail last year though there is a new one currently in New York harbor. My girls are very excited!
Minimal journaling - I HATE journaling! No sweets but butterfly embosslits.
Journaling is definitley not my favorite but we should do it to keep our loved ones informed. I'd love to have known who is in all the old photos my mom has but she can't recall and didn't write them down.
I have my photos edited and lots of ideas swimming around my head, but don't know if I can work on the layout tonight! Still have to do homework with the kids, and I go to Bible study tonight, so I may have to wait until tomorrow to start.
Thinking about my photos, and will get down to work right after supper. Been home from work for 15 minutes and its been a long day. Fighting a sinus infection I think as I feel like my head is in a jar today, but I really want to play, so I'm going to! lol

Can't wait to see your page! Enjoy your busy afternoon/evening :-)
I'm finally here. We are currently under a tornado warning and my girls are at dance rehearsal and DD1 will be driving them home. This is perfect to keep my mind occupied. I just purchased some new digital stuff for Disney pages so maybe I can use some of that.

W00T! Dinner is in the oven and hubby set up the folding table for me so I have plenty of room to work... I'm digging through wedding photos trying to decide which ones will work for this challenge. I LOVE VSBN, LOL!

Aw, that was sweet of DH. Can't wait to see your pages! :-)
The stamp mat is actually a freebie PNG file that had pictures on it so I just placed a sheet of digi paper on top of it and clipped it down...covered those other pictures up and put my own on top then. Worked out perfect!
MP....it looked exactly like your sketch! What a find!

Thank you ladies for the exciting challenges! I had a great time! Although I figured out how to decrease the size of my pictures, next time, hopefully I can upload them in the right direction! Haha! Take care everyone! I'm actually going to keep scrappin since hubby out of town and kids went to bed. Feel like I just got started and on a roll!
I really don't like being a novice when it comes to following threads but I'm getting there. Sometimes a little common sense helps. Just when I was getting ready to scramble and make the LO tonight I read carefully where it was not due today...at any rate I am excited to play along. Just got in from church but I'm going to start working on things. Patience please for the new girl on the block.
