2011-12-16T00:00:00.000-08:00

Happy New Release Friday!!

I hope you are all enjoying the holidays and spending lots of time with your families. I have a brand new kit for you today, I just love it and I really hope you all do too =) Don't forget that all this awesomeness is 30% OFF all weekend! (excludes collab bundles)

One of the things I dislike most in the scrap community is when holiday kits are released before a actual holiday. I am just weird like that. So if you are looking for a specific holiday kit from me, then you will most likely see it from me after said holiday. hehe. With that said, this new kit was a specific request for one of my Creative Team gals:

30 Days Of Thanks

You can also grab just the alpha if you like!

30 Days Of Thanks - The Alpha

My CT has made some gorgeous layouts with it:

Dawn

Shadow Like Tanya

Just popping by to let you all know what I have in the shop today! Last month the ScrapMatters team released their first quarterly magazine!

I'm baaaaack!! Oh man, I seriously had an AMAZING time on my WDW vacation and I can't wait to tell everyone about it! As soon as I get all the photos sorted and receive photos from Heather and Kendall I promise to post all about the trip. For now, I am trying to get back into the swing of things and figure out what I am gonna design next! So many ideas =)

Here is what I managed to get scrapped in the month of September.

#1 - FINALLY Being Able To Scrap A Album!

Digital Scrapbook Album cover by Heather =)

This is gonna be the first major vacation I have taken since I started scrapbooking. I always get so jealous when people talk about the awesome albums they have had printed from their vacations and whatnot. I have made over 500 scrapbook pages, but none of them would make any sense being in a album together. This vacation is finally my chance!! I know I am gonna take a ridiculous amount of photos and I am sooo looking forward to getting them all scrapped and printed into a amazing album for me to share with everything and tell them about the fabulous time I had!

2 Days To Go!

2011-09-20T08:15:00.000-07:00

#2 - Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Image by travelwithkids

This party is the whole reason we are going on this trip. I have heard soo many amazing things about MNSSHP! The fireworks, the parade, the characters and the Headless Horseman! Gah! It is going to be soo much fun! I have even made Kendall, Heather and I shirts to wear! We are gonna be pretty awesome =)

3 More Days. GAH!

2011-09-19T08:15:00.000-07:00

#3 - Wearing My Custom Bow Minnie Ears =)

Image by ME! =)

Yep. It wasn't enough to just have a pair of Minnie ears. So I made my own bows!! I have been meaning to do this ever since I got the ears back at the beginning of the year but never got around to it. Going to WDW was a perfect excuse to finally get them done. You know I am gonna be wearing that zebra print one to Animal Kingdom right?! =)

4 Days!

2011-09-18T08:15:00.000-07:00

#4 - Tea At The Grand Floridian

Image from theworldofdisney.tumblr.com

I am far from being a "fancy" person, but I am sooooo excited to have tea at The Grand Floridian!! There is just something so fun and unique about it and tea was one of the first things I told Heather we NEEDED to do! Heather has never been either so it will be a awesome experience for both of us!!

5 Days To Go. EEE!

2011-09-17T08:15:00.000-07:00

#5 - Tower of Terror

Image by Princess Ashley

This is another one of those rides that I have been on a bunch of times. When I heard that that the ride car moves down a hall in this version I got so excited you would think this is my first time riding on this ride! Tower of Terror is in my top 5 favorite rides at the Disneyland Resort and I know I am gonna love it at WDW too!

6 More Days

2011-09-16T08:15:00.000-07:00

#6 - Photopass Photos

Image from jobsbump.com

Photos!! I LOVE photos!! I think photopass photos are SUCH a great idea and it makes me sad that Disneyland, though they are getting better, just doesn't have the amount of photopass photographers and photos that WDW has. I am gonna hit up every photo spot and every photographer I can! TWICE! HA!

NEW I Heart Fall and Fall Fail Add-On!

2011-09-16T06:00:00.000-07:00

Can you believe it is fall already? Definitely still feels like summer around here. To get you ready to scrap all those awesome fall photos I have a new kit for you! Remember, these are 20% off for the whole weekend!

I Heart Fall

And for those of us that don't have the tradtional fall:

Fall Fail Add-On

These kits so awesome together. If you feel like you would love to have both of them, I have packaged them up into a fun fall bundle for 25% off!

Fall - The Bundle

I also packaged up just the alpha from I Heart Fall. So if you don't want to get the whole kit, but you like the alpha then you can get it!

I Heart Fall - Alpha

Here is what my amazing CT did with the kit:

I hope you love it all as much as I do! With that I am heading out on vacation next week! See you all in October =)

OMG. 7 Days Left!

#7 - France

Image by Peter E. Lee

I know I mentioned the World Showcase as a whole already, but I am really really looking forward to the France pavilion the most! Every photo I have ever seen of this section is just GORGEOUS! I am not sure what there is to do or eat in this area, but I don't care because I am pretty sure I can just stare at it all day and be happy. Do any of you have anything in particular that you love about the France area?

Sneak Peek!

2011-09-15T06:00:00.000-07:00

There is also gonna be a fun little freebie for my newsletter subscribers! So if you haven't signed up (which you should anyway because you get a free alpha!) then hop to it!

8 Days To Go!

2011-09-14T08:15:00.000-07:00

#8 - Figment Merchandise

Image from disneypookalooz.com

I am almost positive that I am gonna need to bring a extra suitcase just to cart home all the Figment stuff I plan on buying. LOL! Say what you will about him, but I just LOVE Figment. I have no idea why I love him so much. Maybe because Figment merchandise is rare here in California or maybe because he is the only thing I can remember from the last time I went to WDW when I was 5. I have no clue. I just do. I am definitely getting the Figment Pook-a-looz that is in the photo though! Pook-a-looz and Figment. 2 of my favorite things!! =)

We Are In Single Digits!! 9 More Days.

#9 - Illuminations

Image by Samantha Deckler

I actually don't really know anything about this show! I know it is fireworks and it is on water? Am I close? I have seen quite a few photos and they all look so spectacular that I am sure this show is awesome. You can't really go wrong with fireworks right? =)

10 Days!

2011-09-12T08:15:00.000-07:00

#10 - Rock N Rollercoaster

Image by Express Monorail.

I am gonna guess, just from looking at this photo, that this ride is pretty bad-ass. I LOVE this photo and the area around the coaster building is just awesome! This is another ride that I have heard nothing but good things about. I am super excited that it goes upside-down! Oh and that I get to listen to Aerosmith at the same time! Double bonus =)

11 Days To Go!

2011-09-11T08:15:00.000-07:00

#11 - The Tree Of Life

Image by eggsalad78

The last of the WDW icons! I know that I am gonna spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to photograph every inch of this tree. I am probably gonna have to be dragged away from it. Just sayin'. Do any of you have a favorite part of the tree? A part that I shouldn't miss photographing? I would love to know!

12 More Days...

2011-09-10T08:15:00.000-07:00

#12 - Phineas and Ferb

Image from NewsFromDisney.com

I was so excited when I heard that these two are now out and about! I love the show and I can't wait to meet them! Not gonna lie though. I am just a tad disappointed that I don't get to meet Agent P. LOL! Any of my readers gotten the chance to meet them yet?

13 Days

2011-09-09T08:15:00.000-07:00

#13 - Vinylmation Trading!

Image by Sam Howzit

I LOVE Vinylmations. I have about 100 right now. I am not sure if there are any out right now that are exclusive to WDW, but you know I will be on the lookout! I even have a couple that I am gonna take with me to trade while I am there. Which reminds me that I need to look up the locations of the places to trade! Yay!

14 Days To Go.

2011-09-07T08:15:00.000-07:00

#15 - Magical Express

Image by DisneyTravelGuru

This beautiful bus is gonna be the first glimpse of my Disney vacation! Yes there is a plane ride, but once I see the DME I will officially be on my way to WDW! I know I am gonna be super excited so I need to remember to get photos of the bus in-between my screaming and jumping up and down like a 5 year old.

Image by Little_Karen

This restaurant looks seriously awesome. I love the decor and the whole look. Not to mention that there is air conditioning! yay! I have taken a look at the menu and the food looks pretty dang good too! Has anyone eaten here before? I would love some recommendations on what you ate and if you liked it or not!

17 Days To Go!

2011-09-05T08:15:00.000-07:00

#17 - Tomorrowland Transit Authority

Image by BestOfWDW

I am really looking forward to this ride! I know that may sound silly but it is as close as I am gonna get to riding the People Mover again. LOL. Which was my favorite ride at Disneyland until they made the HUGE mistake of removing it =( I have no idea what Tomorrowland Transit Authority consists of but I know I am probably gonna love it!

18 More Days

2011-09-04T08:15:00.000-07:00

#19 - Boma

Image by Carimy

I LOVE buffets. No doubt about it. Lol. I am excited to eat at Boma for 2 reasons. 1) I have heard nothing but great things about the food. And 2) I get to check out the Animal Kingdom Lodge! Should be fun times all around!

August Layouts

2011-09-02T22:52:00.000-07:00

Image by grrlTravels

Image by Joe Penniston

I know what you are thinking. Umm, Tanya.... you have been on both those rides a billion times. Yes, I know I have. BUT, not with the seating they have at WDW. Side by side on Splash Mountain?! Single seating on Space Mountain?! It is craziness I tell ya! Do the rides feel any different? Any readers who have been on both and can compare for me? =)

NEW September Mix-A-Kit and Basic Black Alpha!

2011-09-02T06:30:00.000-07:00

Happy Friday everyone! Can you believe we are already into September?! Where in the heck did summer go?! This month is gonna be a busy one for me so let's kick it off with some new products! Yay!

In case you didn't see it, my September Mix-A-Kit items hit the store yesterday. I had so much fun making this stuff that I ended up making FIVE products! I just couldn't stop! I definitely had Disney on the brain while designing this so that I could scrap my own photos from the Animation Academy. Which of course I haven't done yet. lol. So I present to you....

Sketch Me - The Elements

Sketch Me - Sketchy Stuff

Sketch Me - Academy Alpha

Sketch Me - The Patterns

Sketch Me - The Solids

Fun right?! My creative team made some seriously awesome stuff with all the Sketch Me items too:

So not only do I have all that goodness in the shop this week but today I am also releasing a fun stash builder! This alpha is simple, clean and can be used on almost every layout!

My Basics: Black Alpha

My creative team went crazy with this alpha! I swear, they blow me away every week!

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping!!

We are now into September!! Yay! Time is flying and I have so much to do to get ready. Now the pressure is on. Lol. Today on the countdown is another one of the icons at WDW. The Big Hat! I personally think this one is pretty awesome and can't wait to get some photos of it =)

#25 - Sci-Fi Dine-In

Image by matthewcgallagher

I have watched countless WDW travel planning videos in my almost 30 years and Sci-Fi Dine-In has always been the one restaurant that I thought looked the coolest. Eating in a car while watching a movie screen?! What isn't to love! I made sure to tell Heather that I really wanted to eat here and luckily she has never eaten here either so we get to experience it for the first time together! Now let's hope that the food is good! =)

Britt-ish Designs 1st Anniversary Blog Train!!

#26 - Country Bear Jamboree

Image by disneylori

I was sooo sad when they closed down this attraction at Disneyland. Yes it is cheesy and yes I have seen it a billion times and yes I took it all for granted. lol. I am so glad they still have it at WDW though and I can't wait to see it again because I miss it =)

#27 - The Hotels

Image by onlywdworld.com

Oh man. I have seen pictures and video tours and highlight reels of all the amazing hotels at the WDW complex. There are soo many of them and I know there is no way I am gonna be able to see ALL of them on this trip, but I seriously can't wait to get a glimpse of even a few of them! Disney is sooo amazing at themes and making you feel like you are in another world and I am guessing that these amazing hotels are no exception!

#28 - Pressed Pennies!

Image by bigbrian-nc

Bet ya'll didn't know that I collect pressed pennies!! I don't only collect Disney ones either! Anywhere I travel to, if there is a machine, I get a penny. I have even got my friends into sending them to me from the places they have traveled as well. I have pretty close to all the available pennies they have to offer at Disneyland, so I can't wait to get some WDW ones! Oh, and a WDW pressed coin book =)

Just look at it!! I love the look of WDW's Haunted Mansion and I can't wait to see it in person! I have heard about the interactive queue they added, but I haven't really read anything about what it is exactly, so that should be a fun experience too!

#33 - Dole Whip!

Image by TheWall2k

Yes I have had a Dole Whip before. Both here at Disneyland and in Hawaii. BUT, I have never had it with Orange Soft Serve! I didn't even know that was an option because here at Disneyland we only have Pineapple Soft Serve! When I came across this discovery while browsing my WDW Dining app and I knew I was gonna have to try it. A new take on a old favorite has me very excited =)

#34 - Animation Academy

At California Adventure, one of my favorite things to do is draw a character at the Animation Academy. It took me forever to finally try it and ever since then it has become a must-do every time we are at the park. I am excited to continue that love when I am at WDW. Along with all the other fun and interesting things that can be found in the Magic of Disney Animation building!

35 Days To Go!

2011-08-18T08:15:00.000-07:00

#35 - Seeing Heather in action on Toy Story Mania!

Heather is a DIE HARD Toy Story Mania addict. There is really no other way to put it. She did a layout on her best score ever for goodness sake! =) I personally love love love that ride and am the reigning champ in my family, with a score of somewhere around 180,000 (i can't seem to remember, lol). Which I was quite proud of before I wanted to cry because I thought my arm was gonna fall off. I would love to see her beat her best score and I really hope she doesn't completely kick my ass! =)

#36 - Meeting Lots of Characters!

Image by DisneyLori

One of the things that makes me sad about Disneyland is that they do not have nearly the amount of awesome characters and meet & greets that WDW has. I am super excited to get to meet tons of characters and see characters that are almost never out and about here in California. I am especially excited at the possibility of meeting Bullseye and Marie!

38 Days To Go...

2011-08-15T08:15:00.000-07:00

#38 - Meeting Heather & Kendall

Like I mentioned yesterday, this is my first vacation without any family. So who am I going with you ask? I am going with my friends Heather and Kendall!! Being part of the digi-scrap community has given me the opportunity to meet some really amazing people. Most I only know online, but I have been lucky enough to meet quite a few of them. Usually when they come out here to Disneyland =) Heather, Kendall and I have bonded over our love of scrapping and Disney. We talk daily, help each other out with problems and they are even both on my Creative Team! I haven't had the chance yet to meet either of them in person yet and what better a place to do that then Walt Disney World right? Now heres to hoping that we are all still friends by the end of the trip ;-) Haha!

39 More Days....

2011-08-14T11:37:00.000-07:00

#39 - First Vacation on my Own

This is gonna be my first vacation by myself. My first "big girl" vacation =) No family, no boyfriend, no backup. If I mess something up, run out of money or miss my flight, then it is all on me. I am sure everything will be fine. Right? Lol. Wish me luck! =)

Let The Countdown Begin!

2011-08-13T08:15:00.000-07:00

I have now reached 40 days till my first Disney World trip! Everyday, from today until I leave, I will be posting 40 different things that I am looking forward to on this trip. I am super excited and I hope you all will join me on this awesome journey. So lets get started!! =)

#40 - Walking down Main Street

Photo by TheMagicInPixels

I might actually cry. Just sayin. Nothing is more amazing than walking down Main Street, but when you get to do it on a Main Street you have never been on before and see the amazing castle that you have only ever seen in photos (and dreams, lol)......

It will be amazing.

So head on over and check it out!!
