Mickey Happies!

So by now, most of you know that Close To My Heart's National Convention was just held at Disney World.  The convention provides a wealth of opportunities to business build, learn, network and to celebrate.  I love the celebration part.  I love celebrating my friends and colleagues and their fantastic achievements!  This year, I wanted to go all-out Mickey!  I created these gift bags for some special gals (and Brian) and inside was a decadent Chocolate Pecan Pie with a salt-buttered Carmel crust.  (and yes, I know I am sure 10,000 calories but at Disney there are no calories correct?  :)  I was delighted in how they turned out.  

For the bags, I used just simple white gift bags that I purchased at a craft store.  I then printed CTMH's well-loved, and now retired, Grins & Giggle Paper from Studio J using the No Limits layout.  Combined with Black and Cranberry Cardstock, I created the additional accents.  I used the Scalloped Punch for Mickey's ears and then the Artiste' Cricut Cartridge for the pinwheels that created his face.  As a final touch, I added a little bling from the  Black and Grey Sparkle Assortment.  Just a few little touches and an adorable result!

30 Studio J's in 30 Days - day 4

As yesterdays, the layout I am posting today uses the Grins and Giggles paper collection which works well with the boys gymnastics pictures.  I find that just as when I am doing traditional scrapbooking, I tend to use the same paper collections when working with the same subject, but different child.  Why is this?  I have already taken the time to find paper that works with the pictures so we re-create the wheel.  Nicholas' layout differs from Gabriel's in that I had more pictures of him doing different tasks.  I love this particular layout design but don't get to create with it very often as it takes all vertical photographs and I tend to take an assortment of vertical and horizontal.

30 Studio J's in 30 days - day 3

Tonight's layout tells the story in photos of Gabriel's first Gymnastic Olympics.  The photos are a combination of action shots and "slow motion" shots.  I know many creators would leave out the blurry image however, I think it adds character and catches the movement of the moment--and I wouldn't want to leave those out of the layout.  I love that I was able to capture him dismounting off the beam!  Fun, fun, fun!  The paper collection is Grins & Giggles (well loved but now retired) and it features the colors of Cranberry, Black, White Daisy and Sunny Yellow. I added a ribbon (the polka dots) which breaks up the space just enough.

31 Studio J's in 31 days - day 27

To see an enlarged view of the layout, click on the layout.

Tonight's layout is of my son Gabriel when he took his first steps.  I was able to catch some of his balancing in the photographs and wanted to use them in the layout.  This particular layout had multiple photo wells for doing just that.  The paper collection is Grins & Giggles (an oldie but goodie) and the layout design is Zoom In.
