I finally manged to scrap my Disney photos. I have issues when it comes to events, vacations, holidays, birthdays, anything falling outside the everyday moment photographs. (You know, all of those things people make an effort to scrapbook, to keep in chronological order, to commemorate all those events, etc- I don’t bother. I scrap what I feel like scrapping. There is no order whatsoever to my albums. There you go, my dirty, little scrap secret laid bare). I like pictures that share a feeling - not so much a story. So things like this tend to get put off, and frequently don’t even happen.

And when it comes to Disney photos, I’m not much of a character paper person.

I like to find papers that match and work with the photos- the Princess and Mickey Mouse papers are cute- but they tend to overwhelm photos.

So I was really pleased to find that this Audrey line from Lily Bee (where this album is being featured today) was such a great match. The black and whites with the bold and rich primary tones really do it for the Disneyland color palette.

Good for a Princess, good for a Mouse. No cheesy characters aside from the people photographed.

I also used a BoBunny acrylic edgy album, Jenni Bowlin letter circles, American Crafts thickers, various ribbons, Zva Creative pearls. The tulle is all from Lily Bee flowers.

Thanks for looking!

Oh look! I can scrapbook with bright colors! Who knew? This picture lent itself well to being scrapped with loud pops of color with all three kids in bright summer clothes.

I actually have this photo in black and white in my living room. It is the first official “All Three Kids” pic. Which reminds me, I really need to go take more!

This is Maya Road Ribbon, Basic Grey “K”, Studio Calico papers. I used an apron lace border punch.

Thanks for lookin’.

I’m planning on doing a series of these for my kids- Jonas is now old enough to fill in his own journaling- which leads to some fun answers! I had to back away from my perfectionism (who me?) and let him go to town answering my questions- but I love the results! And I’m sure he will love to look back and see the answers written in his own hand as he matures!

I did the title and the basic layout, then I wrote questions and left ample space for the answers.

I *LOVE* the answers. How do you not love a secret agent?

I used American Crafts thickers (green letters), Basic Grey chipboard alpha (blue dots), The star and buttons are Sassafrass, stamp is Studio Calico, The paper is Studio Calico, Basic Grey and Anna Griffin’s Darcey.
