Pages 4 & 5 (another two page spread)

Journaling:
Donald’s
Breakfastosaurus

We decided to start our Disney week off by having a character breakfast at Animal Kingdom. Everyone had a great time eating our fill and visiting with the characters. None of the kids were the least bit frightened. We were one of the last seatings so we had plenty of time to meet and visit with the characters.

And pages 6 & 7

Journaling:
The Tree of Life

This piece of “artwork is so wondrous. I can spend hours just looking at it. Every time I do I see a new image. Even today as I printed and examined the pictures for this layout I saw new animals, like the jelly fish. I heard an interesting story about the creation of the tree. Originally there were 324 images on the tree. Jane Goodall was invited by Disney to visit their Animal Kingdom and, during her visit she was very impressed but noted one objection - that there were no chimpanzees on the tree. Imagineers went to work and not only added a chimp, they added Goodall's favorite, David Graybeard. They invited Goodall for another visit to Animal Kingdom and, as she walked to the entrance of It's Tough to be a Bug", there was handsome old David Graybeard. Goodall was pleased.

If you look real closely you can see the Magic in the far distance on the 2nd page.

Very nice How'd you do the lettering?

 

[Michele]

I got these done yesterday since we were trapped inside from the weather.

Sorry, these aren't very good pictures. I really need some advice on how to take good pictures of my pages. I've tried them in the sleeve, out of the sleeve, with flash and without, propped up and laying down, daytime and nighttime. All are bad so far. Help!!

**UPDATED!! with better pics thanks to pppiglet**

 

[jenr812]

Nice job Michele!

 

[pppiglet]

Very nice How'd you do the lettering?

By accident I picked up what I thought was a pack of cardstock at Michaels and it turned out to be letters you punch out in all different fonts and colors and patterns. I've really ended up using them alot and really like them. I run them thru the little Xyron and make them stickers. On the Cabo ones I stuck them on cardstock and then cut around the letters.

Michele....the best way for me to take pics is I lay them on the floor next to a door that has natural light coming in. Usually around 2-3pm. Then I take the picture without a flash.(out of the sleeve)

 

[pppiglet]

I for got to tell you Michele... I really like your pages!

Oh, ok! I have some of those that I got in a swap! I don't have any that look like yours but at least I know what you're talking about now They look great on your page with the matting

Thanks jenr812 and pppiglet, I'll try that technique with the pictures by the way.
