September Club paper pack

We are using Avonlea this month.  Here is the club layout.  I also made one of our frames with this paper pack.  The layout is of my mom  and the frame is of my grandparents. 

The cut out for the layout is on the Art Philosophy cartridge,  the one on the left is cut at size 9.  The one on the right is cut at size 3.5. 

The paper for the frame was easy to cut out using our Art Philosophy cricut cartridge.  Its a size 11, fit to sheet. 

 

 

Our wall of disney!

So we have been working on this project for quite a while.  I purchased the frames at Michael’s with the 40% coupons. The frames had mats already in them,which were white and black. The pictures are all pictures we took during our many Disney trips, but there are plenty to be found online if you didn’t have any of your own.  I had them all printed in black and white, during one of the times Walgreens had 40% off photos. I ended up getting the frames for about $25 each and the pictures ended up being about $15 after the discount  I’m sure there are ways to do this less expensive.  Originally I was just going to do one frame for the CA parks and one for the Florida parks but as they all have their own focal point I changed my mind.  So this project cost me about $315.  I bought a frame every couple of weeks with the 40% off coupon as I could not afford to buy them all at the same thing. The only thing I caution is to make sure its not a frame that will only be in stores for a limited time.  These were issued for graduation time, so when I needed the last two, I had to call around and find others because the stores weren’t carrying them any longer.

The 5 X 7 in the middle is the main focal point of each park.  The other pictures are pictures from around the park, not pictures of the family.  Pictures of our favorite rides, or special areas of interests in the parks. 

There are 6.  One for each of the 4 WDW parks in Florida and 2 for the parks out in California.

I got this idea when we were out in California at the Disneyland hotel.  Some of the rooms had a smaller collage of some of the focal points in the parks in black and white. I have been wanting to do it for the last year and a half since our trip out there and now that we are in the new house they are completed and hung up! I hope you like them! 

Here is the full wall

Here are the two for the CA parks-Disneyland and California Adventure

And now the 4 WDW parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.

Little tidbit for today!

So, here is a sneak peek of another item for you.  Its our scroll album!  The album was made to sit horizatonally on a shelf or mantel, but a consultant at convention ( whose name I didn’t get so I apologize I cannot give credit where it is due!) suggested doing it vertically and hanging it.  So I tried it that way.  Working on a craft table partially packed for moving was an experience and as a result a couple of my pics are crooked!  I also attempted to do a video and did my first upload on youtube of it a little slower.  And of course my camera was crooked! ha!  oh well, you all get the idea.  This is a workshop on the go that will be available after August 1.

spoiler of the day!

ok, well this is the biggest one I think but I can’t keep it till the end. There are too many other copies going around!  :) 

Anyway, how would you like to see the book from our new cricut cartridge?!?!?!?  It is awesome! 

Here is the link!  Happy looking!  This will be available Aug 1!
