TOON TOWN - LO

This has got to be one of my favorite LO's to date.  Not because of the LO itself, but because of the wonderful photos my husband was able to capture.  These photos were taken during our family's dream vacation to Walt Disney World over 10 years ago. The smiles on our girls' faces say it all!!  I love that my husband was able to capture Caitlin's and Brittany's laughter during this roller coaster ride.  I love the look of Caitlin's face when the ride suddenly drops on her and I love her big sister's face as she is laughing at her.  Most of all I love the memories it brings back of this perfect vacation!!

 At the time, however, I was not loving my husband sitting in the front car of the roller coaster holding the camera while turning to face the girls with the ride in motion.  I was so afraid that he was going to drop the camera as the ride was pretty wild.  I have to say though that these photos make me laugh each and every time I look at them and remember how much the girls LOVED this ride.

RADIATOR SPRINGS - LO

 

It has been WAY too long since I have completed a LO for my own family album.  I didn't realize how much I missed it.  I have been so busy with gift type projects, cards or other crafts that I haven't really made the time to tackle the NUMEROUS photos I have taken of our recent trips or events and they are starting to pile up.  YIKES!!

Here is a LO I created of our most recent trip to Disneyland this past November.  We were especially excited to go this time as we were getting the chance to check out the new "Cars Land" that just opened this past summer.  It was AMAZING!!!  Looks just like the Radiator Springs in the movie. 

My "Radiator Springs" LO includes photos of one of the new rides, "Radiator Springs Racers".  We rode this ride twice, it was so much fun!

All of the cars and the LO title were cut with the Disney Cars Cricut cartridge at 3 1/2 inches.  I created the background scene (in hopes of recreating the canyon-esque scenery of the ride) by tearing, crumbling and inking several strips of kraft paper. 

As we are planning on going back to Disneyland in February with extended family I really must get on the ball and complete more LO's.  This is just a start.

SAND, SHELLS, AND FINS - LO

These are without a doubt the most precious professional photos that I have ever seen. Each one of these little finned cuties have attended my daycare at one time or another. Three of them are now in school, only the littlest one has remained but will be leaving me for school in September.

The only embellishments used on this LO are a set of Ariel Sparkle stickers and some stickles. I didn't want to over do it and over shadow the adorable photos.

WE SCARE - LO

This LO was very very simple. I lifted the idea from a LO displayed at Green Tangerines. They had the adorable monster paper displayed with a LO very similar to this. These photos were taken while we were at Disneyland on the Monsters Inc. ride.
