Carriage Dreams

Good morning!!!  As promised here are some more great memories from my trip to Walt Disney World last year!  The whole reason we were there was to celebrate Seana and Greg's big day...and they did NOT disappoint!!!  Seana loves Disney and takes her niece there a couple of times each year.  It was one of Seana's dreams to have this carriage at her wedding, but it was looking a tad too expensive.  Luckily for Seana, there is a certain minimum amount you have to pay for your dream Disney Wedding...and the carriage fit that bill perfectly!  😍

This layout is also inspired by the Renea Bouquets Artist With an Edge November Mood Board.  The original inspiration included lots of purple and swirly do thingies and a bunch of other stuff!  Seana's bouquet (and all of ours as well) had hints of purple in it, so this mood board immediately made me think of this part of the trip!   💕

I made the bow from some ribbon I received from a swap partner last month!  I thought the delicate trim and the cheese clothe in two different shades went together perfectly!

What layout is complete without flower clusters and glitter?  Note the amazing butterfly that Renea makes and sells in her shop and the amazing beads that give a fun romantic feel to this project.  (Some of the flowers and glitter are hers as well!)

And if a layout is not complete without a flower cluster, what blog post would be complete without a close up of one of the other flower clusters???  I used quite a few flowers on this layout because I wanted to reinforce our love for flowers that day!  There were flowers everywhere!  In the lobby of the hotel (bride and groom stayed in the Polynesian), flowers along the way, flowers at the ceremony!(In fact, I still have my bouquet at home, freeze-dried, of course). 

There you have it!  Paper by Blue Fern Studios, flowers by a little bit of everywhere (I am slowly trying to clear out my flower stash...so I can buy more! 😂), butterflies by Renea, inks and sprays by a little bit of everywhere!  I had  blast working on this!  Maybe it will inspire you also!  💕💕

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes...

So...my New Year's resolution was to do more blogging...and I got started in March...and it's November...soooooo....

Whatevs...you're never too late!  Speaking of being "timely"...I went to my friend's wedding at Walt Disney World a year ago this past September...(if you're counting...only a little over a year late getting started on scrapping these pictures).  So get ready for an influx of Disney pics and pages!

Plus a few off the page things in the coming months.  I promise I'll try to vary my projects from time to time!  

This was my first trip to WDW and we were there during Epcot's Food and Wine Festival.  As a result, I'm now very comfortable at Epcot...and also I'm not sure why there is an Epcot if all the countries aren't serving their food and drinks?  Or what I might do in Epcot if this event wasn't taking place...Maybe see some more of the other parks?

These pictures are of us somewhere between Italy and the U.S. (I think based on what might be a bellini margarita?)

There's a lot happening on this LO...plenty of chipboard, lotsa glitters and sparklies, flowers galore (including some handmade flowers from my sweet friend Rhue), and other little odds and ends.

As you can see below, there was not shortage of inking, stamping and spraying here.  I used everything from Distress Oxide inks and to Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays.  The tag below is primarily Distress Oxide inks, but the pink is Lindy's Salt Water Taffy Shimmer Spray.  Instead of water, I used the shimmer spray on this tag.  The little purple "XOXO" piece in the bottom left corner is something that I've had in my collection for the better part of 10 years!!!  👀

The chipboard piece below was a labor of love using tons of Creameez products in various shades of purple.  I added some embossing powder and a used a few purple shimmery sprays from Tattered Angels and Lindy's.

What project wouldn't be complete without some glitter and sequins?

And some texture and sequins?

The "WDW" and "2018" chipboard pieces were also inked and sprayed (mostly with water) with a variety of Oxide Inks.

There ya have it!  A look into our vacation to the happiest place on earth with a happy couple and our happy friends!  :)

Thanks for viewing!

XOXO
