Disney Love

Published on February 6, 2015 by Taniesa2 Comments

Happy Friday Crafty Friends!!!!

Today we have Kristin on the blog sharing a couple of adorable Disney layouts with, of course, some TCP Flair! Take a look!

Flair flair and more flair!! I had so much fun using my flair from The Crafty Pickle to make these fun pages with some of my Disney photos!!!
HERE is a link to everything in the store …you will love everything and she puts fun sequins in every little bag ….so awesome!!!
I saw this flair in the store and knew exactly what page I was going to use the “D” for …I took these pictures out the car window as we were driving into the park and had to think how I was going to scrap them???
But this awesome Disney themed flair was just perfect to go with the sign entering the park!!!

And then here is the close-up of the cute flair:

On this fun page that we took at the castle in the Magic Kingdom in Florida I had fun using some paste on this page and then adding the Watercolor hearts button flair on top of the Mickey ears and under the wood piece and then I added the “pop” of red to the page …so I needed to add the word Magic to this page also …love it!!!

Here are some of the close-ups:

I love all of the texture of Kristin’s layouts and who wouldnt love scrapbooking anything Disney!!! Thanks Kristin!

Have a great weekend!
Happy Crafting,

Love that face!

Hi Crafty Friends!!

Today we have designer, Stephanie, with us to share an adorable love themed layout perfect for this month of February! Take a look!

I love everything about Valentine’s Day (I am a romantic at heart)-the colors, the candy, the flowers, expressing your love for others, even all the cute scrapbooking supplies! I have a PL spread to share with you that uses Valentine’s Day supplies for a non-Valentine’s picture. It’s of my son (who was 3 at the time) dressing up in his sister’s dress-up clothes! And check out the adorable flair from The Crafty Pickle :

I used one of the flair buttons from the Watercolor Hearts set. It’s perfect for just about any project!!

I also used the “Love This Face” button from the Everyday Photo set. These are so much fun!!

(And oh, how I love that face!)

These journal cards are from 7Dots Studio; the alphas are AC Thickers & the sequins is also from The Crafty Pickle. Taniesa even creates custom flair buttons! Check it all out in the store.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.
