BLT -- A Sandwich or a Resort? Nov 09 TR (12/9 Lessons Learned)

[cherbear]

So I submitted an application this afternoon to be on the Disney Mom Panel...you never know...

You definitely deserve it....I'll keep you in my prayers!

Good luck! I wish I were able to do that, but I haven't been there in SIX years!

Thanks, but I'm really not expecting anything. It's more of a 'can't win if you don't play' thing. I think I wrote something really cute that could stand out...but then again it might have come off as corny...guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

Good luck! I wish I were able to do that, but I haven't been there in SIX years!

It is sooooooo time for you to get back there!! You'll be able to enter next year!

so I've been checking SW flights now...it seems our departure flight on saturday is getting full b/c they doubled the price!

Our return flight was actually $5 cheaper but since I booked the trip as round-trip, I'm not sure if I can (or even want to) try to get just the 2nd leg cheaper...I'm afraid I'll mess up the departure flight. And I just checked and now it's a bit more than what I paid...so all's well.

Hey Marshay

Just checked out your new pages for autograph books.

They are looking great

I think my new favorites are the Monsters, Inc Page and Alice in Wonderland

Very cool

Thanks! I wish you could see them in person --- something funky happened with my camera...oh well.

Today DD4 and I looked through all the pages...she was really excited about it and wanted to know when she could have the book all to herself...I said, in about 30 years!!

Great additions to the book....I think using the pictures was a very cute touch!

so how long does it take you to do one of those pages...where you are making the characters w/ the circut

and I love the Monsters one....it would be fun if Boo greeted you w/ Mike and Sully

Yeah, I'm not sure Boo is a character but I thought she was just too cute not to use her on the page!

It takes about an hour to do a Cricut page. You need to pick out your image, then get all the appropriate paper colors, then cut them out with the machine (sometimes you have to do twice if something messes up), then you have to glue them all together, create the rest of the images on the page, add the boxes for pictures, journal and/or autograph...apply any stickers, etc.

And the smaller the image, the harder it is. I started making Cindy and P -Charm at 4" but the pieces were just too small. So I had to go back and redo them at 6"...remember it's only an 8" page, so there's not much room for anything else.

Sometimes I think just buying a $3-5 sticker would be better...and as you see, I've done that...helps when I get a 50% off coupon. But I have more pride when I do the Cricut and I can choose the colors I want.

For example, you can make the Mickey and Minnie in safari colors for when you visit Animal Kingdom...I like to use Minnie in the red and white polka-dots but some of the stickers have her in pink instead...

 

[Marshay]

Mousescrapper -- do you own a Cricut? I'm going to check out your 2008 book now.

I really do love my Cricut -- best for letting your do different sizes of letters for title and pictures. But the characters are just slow to make...
