Disney Mickey's House



Welcome back to another Magical Monday. Last week we visited Minnie's House so this week it's only fair to visit Mickey's.

The pictures are a bit wonky but hopefully you enjoy seeing it anyways. I cut mickey's house out and the title from the Mickey carts.


I couldn't wait to make his house up and I think it turned out pretty good. I do wish I'd made it a bit bigger but that's ok at least I've got another page done for my album.


I'm still a few trips behind so I'm really trying to get through these pics fast and not spend days scrapping them. LOL

Did you notice this is the same layout I used for yesterdays pages? There are many layouts to choose from and you can even pull up layouts by how many photos you're going to scrap. That makes it super quick to find the perfect layout in Studio J.


I absolutely adore these photos of my kids and their friends and have wanted to scrap them for a long time. The Dakota paper was perfect and I loved that with Studio J I could size my photos without having to reprint them.

CTMH Studio J Splash Zone

Are you ready for another Studio J layout? This is a hodge podge of photos I had from a day we spent at Dry gulch on the lake and in the pool. I decided to just put them all together and get them done. I love the Footloose paper and with Studio J I can still use it even though I can't buy it anymore. Pretty cool, huh?


I decided to leave the journaling off and add it as an embellishment when i get them in. It will add a bit of layer and I needed some more time and probably space to tell all I wanted to tell about the day.

Just a little over a week left of our dual September specials so don't miss out and you can include them with your Studio J purchases!

CTMH Studio J

Are you ready for another Express Collection layout? I'm lovin them! This was another one that I dropped the pics and added some journaling. CTMH did all the work for me and it is beautiful if I do say so myself.


I seriously think I could catch up my photos in a week, ok maybe two using Studio J.   It took me longer to come up with the journaling than it did to scrap the photos. LOL

What are you waiting for? Give it a try here!

CTMH Studio J Travels

Did you catch my post yesterday about all the great things Studio J has to offer? If not be sure to check it out and then come back to this post for todays layout. 

These were some more photos that's been on my computer a few years waiting to be scrapped. I used another Express Collection called Travels and got them done in yep you guessed it about 10 minutes. I dropped the pics and then sized them the way I wanted, added my journaling, and even changed up the labels on the suitcase to match up where the pics were taken.


I'm so glad to be getting so many pics scrapped that have been waiting far too long. Do you have pics waiting too? Be sure to check out Studio J here and see all the possibilities!

CTMH has some great tutorial videos of creating layouts. Here is this months Dakota layout. There are great tips for journaling and titles. Check it out!

Disney Minnie's House

Welcome back to another Magical Monday! Today I have a layout of Minnie's House. This was another very quick layout with not much embellishing. The pictures are more than enough to ooh and ahhh over.


I took the cut 'Minnie Mouse' and changed it up for my title. I used Jasmine to cut the extra s and the H.  Pretty clever huh?!


I cut a few hearts and added some minnie stickers and that was it. Minnie's house is soo much fun with all the interactive decor. Be sure to linger if you get a chance to see it. It's a whole lot of fun!

CTMH Studio J

Do you like digital scrapbooking or do you have boxes of photos waiting to be scrapped and think you'll never catch up? Well Studio J may be for you. 

Studio J is Close to my Hearts Digital Scrapbook option. As a consultant I received 5 Studio J layouts before convention. I had played around with it but never ordered any layouts. Yes! You can play all you want with all the current and even retired paper and embellishments without it costing you a penny. I created my layouts and really enjoyed getting some old photos scrapped that have been on my computer for a while. It was quick and simple.


Lots of great Studio J improvements were announced at convention this year as well, including no more Membership fees! Yay! Now everyone can have access to all of the layouts and kit without a membership*. The layouts are only $6.95 and there are TONS of great kits. There are also new super cute fast and easy Express Collections where you can create an entire 10 layout (20 page) album in less than an hour with themes such as Year in Review,  All About Me, Little Miss, Little Man, School Days, and Travels! There are available now, so be sure to check them out here.

I'm heading out for CTMH Regionals in a couple of weeks and received another 5 layouts to create. I couldn't wait to try the new Express Collections. I used the School Days and the Travel collection to create some of my layouts. The great thing about these are how quick they work up. All you do is drop your photos, add a custom title if you want and some journalling. The other great thing is you can use just one of the layouts or the whole collection to make 10 layouts creating an entire themed album. 

The layout I'm sharing today came from the Express School Days collection. I dropped my pics in and added a couple of ribbon embellishments and it was done. It probably took me 10 min tops. Now I don't know about you but I don't scrapbook pages in 10 minutes so this is fabulous for the files of pics I have and want to scrap but just don't have the time to catch up on scrapbooking the traditional way.



The other great thing is it's only $6.95 a layout. That's less than $3.50 a page. You can also purchase a 5 pack for only $39.95. What a bargain way to scrap!!


I'll be sharing my other layouts each day this week so be sure to come back and check them out. Let me know if you've used STudio J and what you think of it. If you haven't I encourage you to go here and play around and see what you think.

Disney Tony's

Welcome back to another Magical Monday featuring Tony's Italian Restaurant in Magic Kingdom. We all loved eating here and the decor. Our waiters even took the kids autograph books back to the alley to have Lady and Tramp to sign them. LOL What fun!!


I kept the layouts pretty simple and used a Scrapbook Generation sketch to work from.

Here's some close ups. Doesn't the food look yummy?!

Welcome to our September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month Close to My Heart is offering a stamp set called "Fall Favorites". This set can be purchased exclusively through a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant for only $5 with a qualifying purchase of $50.






In this hop, you will see projects featuring this fun stamp set from many talented crafty ladies! We hope you enjoy our blog hop today!



If you have just hopped onto my blog, please start at the beginning at Lucy's blog: http://love2createitall.com.   If you came from Stephanie of The Quilted Scrapper then you are in the right place!







I used our new alcohol markers to color the image in. They're absolutely fabulous. I shared this little tag with my ladies this last weekend and they all did an amazing job coloring their pumpkins. They really thought they were easy and fool proof to use. I only used 3 colors, honey, autumn terra cotta, and olive to color with. It's easy to do with so few colors because you get two markers for each color!

I embellished my card with our new burlap ribbon and some of our bakers twine.

I hope you enjoy my card and come back tomorrow for the next part of my project that I used these little pumpkins on.

The paper is from our fall paper last year.
