Working at the Castle...

I have been MIA these days so i thought i would do a quick post on where i have been this past month.  I have had the opportunity to do a few quick trips to both Disney World and to Minnesota and my mom has been in the hospital so i haven't had much time to blog lately, but i am slowly catching up with things and getting lots done so i should have more to post soon.

I did have time to make a neat page for a co worker at Disneyland.  She is such an amazing

person and when they had their anniversary she posted this picture and i new i needed to make something special for them.  So since they are both from Hawaii i used some papers that i had in my stash from Kaisercraft and asked her to give me one word that describes the photo in Hawaiian.  Their word was Hiki Ole Ke Na Ha and it means unbroken.  And if you knew the two of them you would know that there isn't a better word that describes the love they have for each other.

The colors of the papers couldn't have been more perfect and when i gave it to them they were so happy.  And crazy enough it went perfect with some of the things they already had up on their wall.

I love doing special things for my family and friends and i think that is what makes what we do so fun and wonderful.

And this page i did for C'est Magnifique kits last month but i wanted to share it too.  These two beauties work with me too and they took this super cute picture with Thor.  It's really fun doing

what we do at the castle and I love working with the amazing people that i do!

So this is Rachel and a sneak peak of our boutique.  Yep we make magic

everyday for all of you that visit... it's the best part of our days.

And this is some of the other girls i work with... they are amazing :)

And that is it for today but i will post some of my other pictures in a couple of 

days so be sure and check back...

it's time for our RRR Blog Hop....

It's time for our RRR Blog Hop today and this month we have a beautiful ribbon

assortment to use.  It's filled with gorgeous aqua's and peachy pinks so you will

love all the things our team has done with it to share.

April Ribbon Club Assortment

So if you started on the hop from the beginning here then you should

have hopped over from Heathers blog......

 For my challenge project today i decided to look ahead to summer and create

a fun little mini book filled with lots of folds and pockets that i can put my

vacation pictures in.  I love having a few types of these books so i can be ready when
i get all my photos done and put them inside of it.  The papers i used 

for this are from My Minds Eye and i also used the wood pieces and the stickers

that came with the set.  I really like the colors and patterns on this one.

To make this book you just need some 12x12 card stock- and cut it in half to make

it 6x6 when you fold it.  The back is started with a criss cross and then i added

envelopes and other papers to make pockets.  I used bits of ribbon to create the

brightly colored borders on it and decorate each of the pages.  I also used a sheet
of Basic Grey adhesive letters and stickers that went with it perfectly.

  

On this one you can see the polka dot gross grain in the set.

Here you can get more of an idea of how the basic book looks.  On the

tan paper sides with arrows i cut pockets for travel goodies and photos and

then used a pretty piece of checkerboard satin ribbon to decorate each of them.  I also

added a few photo chipboard pieces and adhesive words i wanted.

This page has the cutest red travel paper and i thought that a piece

of ivory crochet lace would look really good on it- so i glued it to the side

and added another of the photo boxes to fill in later.  There is so many

more pages but it's good to get you inspired to do your own for the summer

and get ahead.  Can't wait to go on a new adventure......

And....Now it's time for you to hop on over to Jenn's blog for

another cute idea to use the new April ribbon club collection .
I am sure she has something amazing to share with all of you.

Have a wonderful and crafty day.... Teresa 

CSI Case File S365-1

I am barely getting in for the case file this month but I am

happy to have finished another couple of pages and it

reminds me that I need to get more done for my trip.  This time

CSI has a fun travel challenge and I did some pages on

our trip up to Canada to Niagara Falls and Niagara by the Lake.

so ....First I want to share the things I needed to make my page...

It was a really fun file and there were lots of things to 

think about with it.  I always have fun and it really makes

me think outside the box when creating.  So my page today 

is about this really neat and old hotel that I found while on my

journey in Niagara by the Lake.

 There where so many neat places in this town and 

I would love to live there with all the beautiful victorian

stores and shops and beautiful houses.  I really had a nice

time there and can't wait to go back someday.

Some of the evidence I need was metal, a sunburst,

journaling, stripes, a title and the cute little passport book.

If you get time be sure and stop over to see some of the other

neat pages that everyone posts for this Casefile.

Thanks for stopping over and hope you have a great day!
