love you to the core lunchbox mini card

My mom had challenged herself to make cards using her scraps.   I decided to see what I could come up with from my scraps lying around my table (am I the only person who doesn't clean off their workspace?) and this little mini card came together.  The apple is from the CM Cheerful Seasons cart and I truthfully have NO idea where I got this fruit themed stamp set for the sentiment, but it was right there on my table underneath all the scraps!   I'll be sending this to school in one of the kid's lunchboxes (or maybe hubby's).

All Aboard layout

Riding the ferry boat from our hotel to Downtown Disney was much more fun than taking the bus!  When I saw the sailboat paper in my Echo Park pack, I was ready to tackle these pics.  The paper is from the Echo Park Little Boy collection, with some stickers from their It's a Boy's Life added on.  The title is from Boys Will Be Boys-a must have cart if you have boys.

I'm going to link this to Amanda's Getting Scrappy challenge to "Color Me Lucky" and use green on the layout.

Tomorrowland-Disney layout

To infininity and beyond-it's Buzz Lightyear!  He nearly ended up in the trashcan! I found his millions of little pieces nearly impossible to put together, as the picture in the handbook was too small to see where all the parts went.  I persevered, and after 30 long minutes (yes, I'm not kidding and I think there might have been a bad word invoked a time or two), Buzz was finally assembled.  I can say I don't look forward to cutting him again!  But he looks good, so that's all that counts, right?

How does your garden grow? layout

The challenge this week at SOUS was to use a silhouette, which gave me another opportunity to break out my favorite cartridge, A Child's Year!  Love this cart and use it alot!  In addition to the beautiful silhouettes, there is a great font and lots of extra images that cover all the year's events.   I've got two pics of my flowers from last year on here already and I intend to take some pics of the flowers I added that will bloom this year.  The gardening silhouettes were perfect for my layout.

Hey, chicka card

I made a card with stuff from my new box of Stampin Up goodies, for the BBTB2 challenge this week to use bunnies or chickies on a project.  It's so fun when you have new supplies, don't you think?  Retail therapy-cheaper than actual therapy!  The stamps are from a My Pink Stamper set called Tweetie-Hoo Puns and the cute little chick hatching is from Simply Charmed.

Hakuna Matata-Disney layout

 The Lion King show at Disney is THE best show in all four parks, in my opinion.  I got seeds of the idea for this layout from something I saw awhile back, so the lion on the cliff is not original to me.  I can't remember if I saw that idea on the cricut message board or on a blog somewhere, so if it rings a bell with someone, let me know and I'll give credit to the originator!   I cut my lion from Animal Kindom and just started tearing paper to make my cliff and setting sun.  I left a big journal box, because there is a big story to be written about us getting caught in a torrential rain before the show.

Luck of the Irish

Son#1 and Son#2 are performing in a concert on St. Patrick's Day for a local nursing home.   It was a good excuse to break out the Luck of the Irish cut and some shamrocks from Celebrate with a Flourish, right?   The awesome shamrock background paper is from the All Seasons 1 pack by The Paper Studio.   I know I'll take LOTS of pictures, so I managed to get 7 photo mats on there!  I'm going to link this to the My Pink Stamper blog hop this weekend, with the St. Patrick's Day think green theme.  The stamps are from the My Pink Stamper set called Music Speaks.
