It's been like Christmas in July in my Scrapbook room...finally the creative process is overflowing like presents under the tree! Before Summer even began I was hopeful to get lots done and had been saving up pictures to work on...but w/ busy schedules, some water issues in my basement scrapbook room...it just wasn't happening. However I finally carved out some time one afternoon this past week and have scrapped over a dozen pages since!
Starting with a fun Disney project (but of course)! After our November family trip in 2010 I knew I'd be busy w/ the Holidays and several small weekend getaways (including another MOM only trip to WDW) I wouldn't have time to scrap a large album for our trip's memories. I opted to create a special online book, but still wanted to scrap some of the new things and favorite pictures from that trip...that got me thinking to create a 3 in 1 trip album to include Nov., my Jan trip from this yr 2011 and then an upcoming trip in October. (depending how thick it seems I made add in a 4th trip for our Jan 2012 family trip too!)
I had already purchased a new Mickey album, papers and stickers and got started...the pictures I had printed worked out perfectly into 4 2-page layouts:
I will do a front page too, with 1 picture from each of the trips.
These next layouts are from November. The are pretty simple, but I think showcase the photos very nicely. I tried to include one special detail per layout as well. I like to add a fun element too to make the page more unique. Enjoy.

These next 2 layouts are from my Mom only trip with 6 other ladies that I met all on the Disboards, besides our great love for Disney and WDW we also each have a child(ren) on the Autism Spectrum. Fellow Mom Kathy brought us all together to share a great long weekend together at our "happy" place. This portion of the book is still in process.
Group shot galore:
The Moms and what they mean to me:
Besides scrapping Disney I have been working on my calendar pages and have finished two more from the Spring:
March
April
This month is very dear to me as it's my Wedding Anniversary Month! In particular this year we celebrate 15 years. My husband and I have a very special trip planned later in October to spend 5 days at WDW and we just can't wait. 5 years ago for our 10th I created a special album to keep all our anniversaries in and special pictures of us and our family, plus 1 Christmas pictures from each yr as well. The album and most of the supplies were given to me as a gift several yrs back and I have tried to keep w/ an overall theme throughout each yr and photo spread to keep the book attractive and unique to my other scrapbook albums:

Finally for this momentous anniversary I made this special gift card/book for my husband. I wrote down several moments from when we first met to now that have shaped our 15 yrs + of being together. I printed pictures and images to capture each of these moments and created a special book using cardstock, ribbon, and simple embellishments. The Disney personalized images were made for me by Marion from the Disboards. Enjoy this special keepsake:
Thank you for taking time to look back at the special memories and moments of my married life and into my passion for preserving them. Julie
