Wilderness Lodge 1999

Wow, I cannot believe this picture is from 1999, it was our first visit to WDW and we stayed in the amazing Wilderness Lodge Hotel which was so gorgeous, both Charlotte and Matthew managed to get chicken pox, Charlotte did have a slight rash on the way out and then exploded and then Matthew followed seven days later, they where a bit under the weather, but what better place to keep them amused. The hotel staff where fantastic and the couple of days we stayed in our room, they left them some Disney beanies which I though was a lovely, kind thing to do. Of course the UK does not immunise against chicken pox, however the Americans I believe do, so it was quite funny when we hit the little beach at the hotel, it was amazing how quickly we cleared the beach, I must admit I don't blame them, they did look bad on some days. We where even stopped at the airport by the rudest attendant ever and asked did we have medical documentation to fly, so we had to go all the way to a medical centre to be told what we already knew, that he would be able to fly! Oh sorry, I have gone on a bit.

A big thanks to Amanda, I won her blog candy over at her blog, so if you get the chance go check her out, thanks to craftobsessions for sorting out the gift voucher for her, a great online scrapping store, with amazing customer service, if you want to check them out and mention you came via my blog if you decide to order!

The Color Room - 71

Hi, if you haven't been over, this is this weeks challenge over at The Color Room, such a gorgeous palette, created this one for another Prom pic of DD and her friend. Used Webster's for the background with a bit of fussy cutting, arranged some organza behind the pic to give it more texture and cut and made the circle flowers, so addicted to this if you haven't tried it yet, check out youtube loads of tutorials for paper flowers, cut some leaves from Cricut machine and some swirls from the Tim Holtz's Elegant Flourishes, thanks for looking will be back later with Back to School Blog Hop winner.

CCG - 204 Swim with the Dolphins!

Wasn't so sure about this one at first, didn't think I had anything to use and wasn't keen on the grid, but thought I would have a go and soooo pleased with the result. I used the grid for all those little pics you get when you print out at Costco, I made the yellow flowers and the swirls and had to play with the Gesso again. The pictures where taken in 2007 at Discovery Cove in Orlando, we spent the day at the park and swam with the dolphins, if you have never been it was like paradise, although not too keen on the Dolphin swim, as I am not a good swimmer and you had to swim out to meet the dolphins and then they swam back with you, not my idea of fun but a once in a lifetime experience, of course kids loved it LOL! Thanks for looking any comments as always feel free to ask and don't forget to join in the Back to School Blog Hop for a chance to win some blog candy, have a fabulous Sunday, take care, happy crafting Doreen x.

CCG 203 - Beach

This is my layout for the challenge over at CCG, loved creating this one, the colours are divine, used some real shells, starfish and found a metal seahorse with blue stones, a wooden fish and gold starfish to give it some bling. I fussy cut some Webster's and the main paper is Bo Bunny, I think, we had to use some vellum or other transparency so I used a very old beach layover on this one. The letters came out so well and would do this again, used Gesso on some chipboard letters then chalked and inked to get the right colour so pleased how they turned out! T





he picture is of DD a few years ago when on holiday in Devon, I think it was Ilfracombe. Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions or leave any comments, always greatly appreciated and I always visit back.
