Color
This month we draw them right from the
kids. Grab the bold pinks, soft blues, lively greens
that color our kids worlds and scrap with them.
Theme
This
month is all about FUN! Show us how your family has fun, what you
do for enjoyment, and how much fun you can have just scrapping and
chatting online.
Technique
Pinning! All employees at Disney
play a game with collectable pins--they will trade any pin
they have for anyone you have. Grab your straight
pins, safety pins, decorative pins--any old kind and lets
get pinning!
Card
Happy birthday cards made with a kid in
mind or Halloween cards that show off your silly or scary
sides. Let loose and enjoy!
Altered item
Grab
a box and make yourself a little toy chest all of your own. What
will you put in it? Whatever strikes your fancy!
Main Street Kit
This kit is sure to tickle the kid
inside! We combined 5 sheets

Main
Street, Disney World
|
Grab your inner child and get her ready
to scrap like a kid again. This month we head back in time into a
place that Walt Disney described as, "For those of us who remember the carefree time it recreates, Main Street will bring back happy memories. For younger visitors, it is an adventure in turning back the calendar to the days of their grandfather's youth."
Disney created the Main Street keeping in mind the small town of his youth
and lived in an apartment above the firehouse which is still fully furnished but off-limits to the public. A lamp is kept burning in the front window as a tribute to his memory.
Main Street extends from the entrance of
the park to Cinderella's Castle with a horse drawn trolley running right down
the center of the street. Along both sides are shops, restaurants, and all
of the fictional offices you would expect to find on a main street. The
windows of these false locations are actually tributes to some of the original
and dedicated employees whose names are now immortalized as doctors, dentists,
and grocers.
The buildings themselves are works of
art, painted in fun colors and shaped with an eye toward nostalgia and a
perspective to make them appear larger than they are to visitors. Most
importantly, Main Street sets the tone for your visit to Disney World.
It is a happy place filled with fantasy, wonder, color, and light. As
we spend the month wandering around Disney, lets remember to enjoy our
scrapping and to live like a kid again.
Get ready for a fun filled month
of scrapping as we head down Main Street, Disney World!

Shannon Schafer
I am a 30 year old SAHM
with 2 beautiful children who
are the main inspiration for my layouts. I have been married for 6 years to
my high school sweetheart & love of my life, Ken. We live in the Metro
Detroit area with our 2 dogs, cat and many fish.
I have been collecting memorabilia and taking TONS of photos for a good
portion of my life but have been scrapbooking for the past 6+ years. Before
scrapbooking, I was hopping from hobby to hobby and driving my DH crazy in
the process. I went to a CM demonstration and I was hooked from the beginning!
Once my DH saw that I had found my
calling he would constantly surprise
me with scrapping goodies...what an
incentive! I love creating
beautiful pages- my scrapping style is generally simple with some shabbiness
thrown in there. To me scrapbooking is a great form of therapy and I try to
do something scrap related everyday! About 3 years ago, I found my love for
rubberstamping and cardmaking - nothing is better than giving/receiving
handmade cards!
