I am finally able to see your wonderful project now that I'm using my PC at home. What an awesome job you did! I'm so excited for your kids! Isn't Disney magic great?!

Thank you all so much!! I'm hoping I can keep my mouth shut until then - we don't go until June 9th, the last day of school. I'm so excited about it!!

I hope you're all right about their excitement when they read it - I'll definitely keep my camera handy!

That was beautiful !!!! And now I get to steal the Idea and use to surprise our kids in a couple of months What software did you use. I really like the last page with the statue and the fireworks . I have a pic of the statue but how did you get the fireworks background?? Was it part of a program ?

I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro. The fireworks are a picture tube - I just "painted" them on the black background with it. The backgrounds are either my own creation, textures from the program, or free downloads from the web (search for digital scrapbooking).

Good luck! Glad I inspired you!

Oh, and I forgot to say I'm having it printed in a hardbound book through the Wal-mart website. Costs about $20.

That is a great idea! We surprised our DD6 and DD9 last Sept. I wish I would have thought of something that creative.
We just waited for them to get off the school bus and told them to get changed we were going to Disney for the week.
That book is definately something that they will cherish forever!

Absolutely spectacular!! Seems to have put a tear in my eye too! Now where were you when I was trying to figure out how to surprise my kids???

 

[MouseEarsJenny]

Thanks for the compliments everyone!! The hardbound book itself arrived this weekend and I am SOOOOOO excited. I don't know how I'm gonna keep my mouth shut!
