King Triton's Carousel

While we were at California Adventure a couple of weeks ago, we rode King Triton's Carousel. I love carousels. There is just something magical about spinning with great mnusic play and kits laughing.

I rode next to Hannah and caught this photo of her while we were twirling around.


The chipboard banners from Fancy Pants are one of my favorite new products. Here I turned the banners on their sides to make little flags for the title.


Today was a busy day and I finished up all of the kits for Creative Estates. They are packed and ready to go! I did squeeze in a little time to make this layout, so it was a productive day. Now it's time to hang out with my husband. Maybe we will watch a movie? I'm really craving some ice cream, so we'll see if I can resist that. :)

Remember Me

The ferris wheel at California Adventure takes the typical ferris wheel to a whole new level. There are swinging cars on tracks that slide all around as the wheel moves. We decided that it was the scariest ride in the park.


This ride was so intimidating for our son that he got on the floor and yelled "remember me" as we were sliding to our certain death. We thought that was pretty funny and promised him that we would not have to ride that again.


Thankfully we all survived and didn't even have to use the throw up bag that was in the car. I'm pretty sure this is the only ride where I have seen a throw up bag right on the ride.

My son's favorite ride of the trip was California Screaming which is a roller coaster that loops upside down. So he does like some thrills, just a little closer to the ground.

Let's Ride

The blue woodgrain paper from Bella Blvd is probably my favorite paper in the April Hello, Sunshine Kit at Scrapbook Circle. I just love the bright color and design. But then again, I do love all of the paper in that kit!


This layout is about our family riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. My kids were all delighted that their grandparents were going on this ride with them. My daughter kept turning around to look back and check on them!


This ride was always my favorite as a kid. Have you been to Disneyland? Do you have a favorite ride?

Happy Moments

While we were at Disneyland last week, we spent a lot of time standing in line. What better thing to do as a kid that bug your brother or sister while in line? Ha! In a rare line-waiting moment, my youngest two kids were happily playing together and we even caught the moment on the camera.


Wouldn't it be great if siblings always got along so well?


Even if they don't get along all of the time, I will enjoy the happy moments when they are enjoying time together.

All of the layout supplies are from the April Hello, Sunshine Kit at Scrapbook Circle. I had a great time creating with that kit today and finished up four layouts. Got to love a day full of creating!

Spring Break is Coming to an End

Today was the last day of day of my kids' 2.5 week spring break. Although it has been nice to not have a strict schedule to follow, I am really looking forward to getting back into our weekly routine tomorrow. First on my agenda tomorrow...scrapbook layouts! I printed out around 30 pictures today and I'm ready to get to work!

Last weekend we surprised our kids with a trip to Disneyland. I've got to say that the trip is as much for the kids as it is for me. I love that place!


We booked our trip about 2 weeks ago and it was fun keeping it a secret from the kids. We did a scavenger hunt a couple of days before we left to let them know we were going! One of my sisters heard about the trip and asked it she could join us. Then my parents asked if we would mind if they joined us too. So we ended up having quite a group. Good times and great memories!

(I used this House of 3 template for my photo collage and then added a digital frame from my collection around the photos.)

Favorite Disney Rides

Today I finally has a little time to create with the upcoming October Scrapbook Circle kit. The bright colors from the Glitz Scarlett papers were so fun to work with. Plus, I really like the contrast of the Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology white paper and artisan elements. One of my favorite things about this layout is the number rub-ons I put across the top of the photos. Such a cheery set of scrapbooking goods. Everything on this page came from the kit. Fun way to document our favorite rides at Disneyland.
