Disney

On December 23rd, 2007 we went to Disneyland Resort Paris. I love Christmas-decorations and we were told that we should go to Disney to feel the magic...

Well..we felt the Magic.....

When it was dark..in front of the castle there was a big show with Mickey and Minnie..dressed up in white for Christmas. They had lots of 'guests' like Donald, Goofy etc. Finally Minnie told us, there was one more guest.. Tinkerbell...it was freezing cold, it was dark, they played beautiful Christmas songs, there was 'snow' around us...she pointed to the top of the castle...and then of a sudden golden 'elf-dust' came out of Tinkerbell's stick..spreading it out all over the castle and then..one by one..all towers of the castle gave light...thousands of lamps like diamants..and there were only 'oooh's and aaah's 'when the castle was completely lighted..it was the most wonderful thing I have ever seen...this was the Magic of Disney!

Thanks honey for taking me to this magical moment we've shared!!

I bought the collab kit 'Festivities' by Amy Hutchinson (I really love her work), Two Sisters Design and On Design for the following layouts.

A Christmas Poem

At Digitaalscrappen.nl, IkScrap (Ingeborg) and Miranda Bontan made 'A Christmas Poem' kit plus 'A Christmas Poem paperpack Add-on. I really love those papers and elements...great colours and 'special effects'.

Boys Rule

For the next two layout I have used Digi-Mac Designs kit 'Boys Rule'.

Surfing with Santa

Another Add-on for the 'A Wildflower Holiday'collection of Weeds and Wildflowers. Patricia Christensen's 'Surfing with Santa' is especially made for those who have no chance of a snowy Christmas! It's a fun kit with lots of fun elements.

I have made one layout with this kit and another one with a.o. the Wildflower Holiday kit.

Winter Whites

Well..I was a bad blogger lately...getting closer to Christmas, I didn't have to time to keep my blogs updated but I did lot's of scrapping. I will give an update of what I have done lately.

I used Julia van der Werf's kit 'Winter Whites' for 3 layouts.. It's a beautiful kit in black/white/red...lots of great elements and papers!

Day 2

At 'The Meadow' you'll find the 2nd day of '12 days before Christmas' and today Ingeborg (Ikscrap) made above great Quickpage which you can find here.

And to win more prizes you'll have to answer today's question 'tell me your favorite Christmas/Holiday Song'. Well..mine is 'Happy X-mas' from John Lennon and Yoko Ono...when I hear that song..I'm in the mood right away!

Yesterday my oldest son obtained his second swimming diploma (the 'B')..he was happy and I was proud. He is definitive a better swimmer than his mom now ;-)

Quincy's birthday

Yesterday our Bernese Mountaindog Quincy 'celebrated' her 6th birthday. Except we bought her a big bone, it was just a normal day ofcourse. I made a layout of here..isn't she a beauty!

Moneyholder

For an upcoming challenge I made a moneyholder. It was real fun making this. The challenge has been postponed till after Christmas, so by that time I have to make a new one. I just wanted to show you this one..

Oh Christmas Tree

Last Friday I wanted to surprise my husband and decorated our house for Christmas. It took me hours to finish the Christmas Tree as there are 850 lamps in it...not to mention all other decorations. When he got home after midnight I just finished it and saw a very surprised husband coming home for the weekend...The storm and rain that was falling all weekend helped us staying inside enjoying this new Christmas feeling!

Santa's Little Helper

Yesterday I finished another LO with 'A Wildflower Holiday'. This is for The Meadow blog's 12/3 scraplift challenge of Jenny's (jleigh76) layout - Bundle up. Credits can be found here. Think I'll use this layout and my layout 'I've been good' for the Christmascards my little boys give their frieds at school.

Yesterday 'I've been good' was choosen for Layout of the Day at Nuts4Digi..a great compliment for both the designer and myself!

I've been good this year

I had a lazy weekend, kids where at my parents house for two days so my DH and I took our chance to sleep, relax and enjoy the time together...and I hardly even didn't scrap!

I did make above layout with Patricia's add-on mini kit 'At the North Pole'. Credits can be found here.
