New layouts . . . finally!

OK, I'm finally getting to posting those new layouts. LOL. :-) But first an update on the rest of my weekend. My sister had yesterday off so I had told her we were going ot spend all day scrapping. She had been whining for weeks that I was way far ahead her in scrapping my Disneyland book. So 2 weeks ago I ordered 300 pictures for from Shutterfly so she would stop whining. Well Saturday after we talked to our brother she wanted to go see Batman again. Oy. I want to see it again, just didn't want to go right away. So I had to remind her that she spend weeks whining that she couldn't scrapbook because she didn't have any pictures. So I said no to seeing Batman again. We did end up scrapping, though we got a bit of a late start. We had to relocate our work space to the living room for more room. Our scraproom is quite small and its difficult for both of us to work at once. And we had to get some snacks and food for lunch before we got started. Once we got started we both made some good progress. I got 7 pages done in my DL book. I just have to put the journaling on them. I think she got 6-8 done, but didn't add any titles to hers. So it was a successful day of scrapping.

Now onto the digital layouts.

It's a Small World (Disneyland, 1969) - For the Tuesday template challenge at ScrapMatters. I used my mom's photos of her favorite ride, It's a Small World at Disneyland.

Wait - For the Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters from last week. This is my sister and I at the Crystal Palace at Walt Disney world on her birthday in 2007. She was so sad that Eeyore didn't stop the first time around because I wasn't at the table. We had to wait probably an hour until he got back to us, but when he did the waitress brought out the cake I had ordered. Eeyore was clapping and cheering and sooooo cute. It turned out better this way. :) It is such a special memory. The best things do come to those who wait.

Tomorrow there are not one, but 2 speed scraps at Scrap Matters tomorrow! Not sure if I can make both, but am going to try. They are highly addictive!!! That is all for now. I have to go play with my brand new toy: Sure Cuts A Lot!!! I am already in love with this program and I haven't even cut anything with it yet. It is way easier to use than the Cricut software. Its awesome!

Later!
