It has been SO very long since I've been active in the digi-scrap community and that makes me very sad! I can't wait for the annual Mousescrappers speed scrap marathon coming up in two weekends because that is always the push I need after such a long hiatus to get some scrapping done and reconnect with the community.
I HAVE, however, been working on a new FREE kit. We are absolute Frozen fans in this house - we ALL sing the songs by heart, even my husband, and it's been a very appropriate frenzy considering even here in Florida we've had SNOW and ICICLES hanging from our rooftops! Crazy winter vortex....
Anyway, this kit is the perfect blend of winter and summer and includes a full alpha and solid papers as well. Here is a page I made with a photo I took of my friend's daughters dressed up in their Elsa & Anna costumes...
A little while ago there was a request for a kit themed for the Art of Animation. I had plans to make a small kit based on art and the four movies portrayed at the resort, that didn't last too long. The kit was bursting at the seams, it was just too much for one kit, you could easily get lost in it. So today I present to you an art kit perfect for your over all stay at the resort and a kit themed for Cars. You can scrap so much with Michelle's
kicking it On Rte. 66 Kit! Anything from the Cars portion of the Art of Animation resort, to your visit at Radiator Springs, to the ride itself, and character meet and greets!! Just check out what her fabulous team has created!! Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom, the team has created some great freebies for you!!

I've seen the White Rabbit! I saw him peeking out through this ADORABLE new kit from Mad for the Mouse! It is perfect for all your Easter scrapping but also for ANY layout spring related as it's chock full of whimsical colors and flowery details. Here are some previews of the kit and addons:
So, recently I've really gotten into the pocket style digi Project Life. I know, I know. One more thing to add to my plate! But I feel like I "caught the bug" just in time as I've been able to catch up fairly quickly and I'm almost completely up to current weeks. Eventually, I want to get to where I scrap my "two pages" or whatever for the week every Sunday! I've been overwhelmed with the amount of resources and freebies available out there floating on the WWW as well as all the current PL products that I "NEED" to have! I've found that if I like something enough but don't want to shell out the cash for it, I'll kind of make my own version of something (just for myself, of course!) until I can start acquiring stuff and afford it. One of the main things I found I needed was a variety of templates that had the rounded corner style I loved and were fairly simplistic and versatile. SO, I did make a "mother load" of those and I'm making them available as a freebie download for you today! You can find them at the bottom of this post. I'd love to share some of the layouts I've created so far. I've "Scraplifted" a couple of them from designers I admire and others I just went with a theme based on one particular photo or element that I loved. The more I do it, the more comfortable I get with using my own style and remembering what I already have in my PL stash!
Here are just a few of my favorites from the beginning of the year up to about 2 weeks ago:
I am SO excited about Michelle's newest kit, "Drop into the Zone" - it gives you literally everything you need to create super awesome layouts of my personal most favorite ride at Disney: Tower of Terror! If you love chills and thrills, this kit and its coordinating features are most definitely for you! Here are the layouts I made with her newest addition:
Hope you have as much
It's here! Mousescrapper's February Design Challenge blog hop is finally here! I was so excited to finally take part is this challenge - I chose to go along with the color scheme with an underlying tone from the movie "Secret of the Wings". My girls LOVE that movie and I love the sisterly morals within it and how it reminds me of my girls - of the same family (or same baby's first laugh) yet SO very different and unique in their own special ways!
Here is the preview of my portion of the challenge kit:
I created this layout with this kit from when we visited the Pixie Hollow and Winter Woods at last year's Flower & Garden Festival in Epcot:

This Princess Is Getting Her Crown!
One more sleep and I leave for the most magical place on earth - Walt Disney World! I'll be there for four days and one of those days I will be doing something I never EVER thought I'd be saying I'd be doing - running a race! A half marathon at that! The Princess Half Marathon is on Sunday and for the first time in my life, I will be running 13.1 miles (actually, I'm doing a run 3min/walk 2min at an average of 14mpm pace)! I tease my friend whom I'm going with that the dreaded "balloon truck" will be chasing my tail the whole way probably - but as long as I make it over that finish line and get the treasured tiara medal, I'll be happy as a bee in a field of sunflowers!!! I'll be documenting my whole trip with Instagram (instead of my baby, Stella, my Canon 50D). Here are just a few I've taken in preparation:

In honor of the upcoming race, I made a little mini kit called "Run Like a Princess". It's a super fun kit based on bright, modern colors with some fun "running" elements. However, it is also SUPER versatile and can be used for any theme you choose!

So today I used inspiration from this template challenge to create a layout on the ever so lovely MISS DEVINE in Animal Kingdom. My family and I had never, ever heard of her before so as we were strolling along through the park, we noticed a group of people gathering and staring at a bunch of bushes. Our curiosity peaked, we warily wandered over and much to our surprise, the "bunch of bushes" was moving and doing handstands and arabesques. It was actually a lady, dressed head to toe in garb of vines & grapes, on stilts! She was so graceful and elegant, we could have watched her forever! I'm so glad I snapped some photos of her because it's definitely a memory I want to keep alive and fresh in our minds! Here is my layout:
