Scrap catch up

I am on vacation again this week! No big plans for adventures this week. I think I'm going to relax at home and try to do some creative stuff. The big adventure was actually yesterday - New York Comic Con. And I'll post some pics once I've recovered. I was still really exhausted from it all yesterday!

Here's what I've been scrapping lately...

I am trying to get some Disney scrapping done! I feel like I've hardly made a dent. We loved seeing Peter Pan and this ride!  Credits: Gina Miller and Jacque Larsen's Neverland from The Lily Pad

I also really loved these statues! Credits: Amy Wolff's Botanical from The Lily Pad

Lunch at the Crystal Palace was our first meal at the parks. Credits: Libby Pritchet'ts Do You Believe in Magic from Sweet Shoppe; Misty Cato's Memories in the Making from Sweet Shoppe

I just think my dog is the cutest thing ever! I must take a picture of her almost every day. These are just some from September. Credits: Lauren Grier's I Like You from The Lily Pad

This has to be one of my favorite pages! I mixed a bunch of Michelle Godin's goodies and I love how it turned out. And of course, I love it because it's about Chucks. Credits: Michelle Godin's Teen Scene Boys papers, Varsity Chip Alpha, Red White and Blue Alpha, Teeny Tiny Alpha, Moody Blues elements, Keep Calm and Spatter On, Hello Goodbye elements, Sunshine & Grassstains elements from The Lily Pad 

There is some awesome art journaling going on over at One Story Down. I've been wanting to do some more, but I don't always get to work on pages like this. But sometimes, when I see a kit the page just pops in my head and I scrap it right away! This happened with this page and the one below. Credits:Sarah Barber's Dreams from One Story Down 

I love this page not just because the inspiration came to me instantly, but also because the papers were created by my friend Andrea, who is a guest at OSD this month! There was a also a post at OSD about tips for using hidden jouranling, which I wanted to try. Here's what it says: The days are getting shorter

and colder and it’s easy to start feeling down So on those days when it’s hard to get up I need to remember the brighter days and my favorite Beatles songs (That's for you if you're reading, Kimberlee!)

 The Lily Pad designers released their October BOYC kits a few weeks ago and it's one of my faves, especially these papers from Amy Wolff, which matched my new owl pillow! Credits: Amy Wolff's Damaged Papers; Shawna Clingerman's Creative Bliss elements; Amy Martin's Lily Pad Template Challenge template
