Haunted Mansion and Toy Story Mania Scrapbook Pages

I've been hard at work with the Cricut coming up with some new Disney pages.

I feel like I'm barely making any progress on these books but I know that I am.  I'd love to just lock myself in the craft room for the next few weeks and ignore the kids, the laundry, the dishes and the cooking but I just can't.  In the meantime I just keep plugging away at it a few pages at a time. 

Captain Jack Sparrow's Page:



For Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial I used some printed "pirate" paper for the background and used light brown paper to mount my pictures on.  For the embellishments I used the Cricut cartridge Paper Doll Dress Up.  The pirate girl and boy pages had lots of fun pirate stuff.  I chose to make two skull flags, a treasure map and a treasure chest.  I actually cut two chests; one out of dark brown paper and one out of gold glitter paper then pieced the chest together to make one.  I took the title "All hands on deck" from the Life is a Beach cartridge.

Toy Story Mania: 



 For this Toy Story Mania page I used the Toy Story cartridge; I cut out the title and a bunch of the bulls eyes.  I really wanted to add the words Mania to the page but haven't yet decided where I'd like to put them. 

Haunted Mansion Page:



It took me two tries to come up with a Haunted Mansion page that I liked.  I found this green spider web paper in my Halloween stash of paper and loved how it looked.  I mounted the photos on black and then grey and adhered them to the center of the page.  I cut out some tombstones from the Paper Doll Dress Up set and added a few vellum ghosts cut from the same cartridge.  I found some foam black letter stickers for the title.  Now I just love it!  The vellum ghosts are my favorite.

      I have to print out a few months worth of photos and then I think I'm all caught up...maybe.

    I used to love to make scrapbooks for trips during the years when my camera used print film. Now with digital photos I do blogging and keep a hand written journal with a few scrapbook items to remember my trips. If you visit my post listed here you can scroll down and see some of my map drawings. - Margy

      I had stopped scrapbooking for a few years and toyed around with the idea of digital scrapbooks or photo books from Shutterfly but found I missed that creative outlet.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Alec's SCAP (Senior Culinary Arts Project) Assignment and Meal

Image
We have been hearing all about Alec's SCAP assignment all year; it counts for something like 75% of their final grade but luckily it is broken down into 10 or so mini assignments throughout the year.  Yesterday he presented his meal and we were allowed to invite up to 7 family members/friends to taste it. He won't know his grade until everyone in the class has gone but I'm pretty sure he crushed it.  Our meal was delicious.  Here are the assignments the project was broken down into: 1. Pick a region and research culture, history of native ingredients, and cooking methods and write an essay about what they discovered.-- He picked GREECE! 2. Figure out what native ingredients they wanted to work with and design a menu; each menu had to have a native fruit in their dessert and a native protein for their entree.  They had to come up with a 4 course meal: bread, appetizer, main dish and dessert.  The main dish had to have a protein, vegetable, and a starch.  3. ...

Guess Who Tuns 21 This Week?

Image
 Gosh it does not seem possible to me that I'm going to have a 21 year old. It's funny how those days with little kids and exhaustion can feel so very long but then looking back it feels like they grew up so fast.  Ian turns 21 this week and I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I am old enough to have a 21 year old. I mean I don't necessarily feel young when my joints or back are hurting or I'm falling asleep at 8 or 9 at night but I still don't feel old enough to have full grown adults!  I didn't have much to write about this week so I thought I'd just have fun sharing some pictures of Ian.  Ian in the yellow and Alec in the blue (I was pregnant with Evan-- and had the morning sickness to prove it) he was ALWAYS building and playing with trucks-- my only one that seemed to care at all about trucks We always referred to him as a "little man" since he seemed so grown up for his age right from the start. Always smiling and happy but som...

Share 4 Somethings in April 2025

Image
Since the last Saturday of the month is tomorrow it's just about time for Share 4 Somethings with Jenn. As always we're sharing some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of .  Some things I've loved: We had my brother and his family over for dinner just for fun and to talk over some plans. It was so great to see everyone and we had such a delicious meal too (if I do say so myself; I went all out with homemade marinara, keto meatballs, fresh zoodles, 2 loaves of a whole wheat bread I experimented with, keto Italian dressing, brownies, etc).  The only 2 photos I thought to take! We had pasta and zoodles so I took a bit of both with my salad I also loved a couple of the hikes Evan and I tackled this month.  Some things I've learned: I've been learning a lot about Glacier National park in order to prep for a trip we're planning.  Some things that went well: We got a lot of Alec's stuff moved home though...
