Once Upon a Dream

The second challenge over at SIWAS "Scrap It With A Song" www.scrapitwithasong.blogspot.com

is the theme song from

Disney's Sleeping Beauty "Once Upon A Dream".....

I took this adorable photo of DGD Rebekah,

changed it to black and white

and then played with it in Paint Shop Pro.....

Playing with the 3D effects, I found this bubble,

and then thought, bring in Tinkerbell from a Google search

(yes, Tink is in the photo!!!!) and voila,

don't ask me how I did it, but it worked.....

And, as if that is not enough, I actually USED Prima papers

- yes, I cut my Prima papers, these are from the 'Indeed' Collection.....


Prima vine, flowers and pearls - gorgeous.....


I cut the word Dream on Cricut with the Happily Ever After cartridge.....



Once Upon a - are American Thickers and the tag is K & Co....




And now for just a few of the many photo's I took at Disneyland Hong Kong.....

One of my all time favourite characters - The Cheshire Cat.....

The Toy Soldiers from Toy Story were amazing - check their feet.....

We had a wonderful day at Disneyland, even though it rained most of the day, however, every cloud has a silver lining - there were no queues.......

We even walked onto Space Mountain, one of the most popular rides at Disney

NO QUEUE!!!!

Two Challenges & Hong Kong

This layout qualifies for two challenges.....


The sketch over at SOUS www.stuckonusketches.blogspot.com and Scrap It With A Song at www.scrapitwithasong.blogspot.com

The song at SIWAS is Elton John's "Your Song" - I chose the line 'a big house where we both can live'

I have used the Lime Tart Half Tart Kit from August '09 www.limetart.com and photo's of our house just after we finished building and moved in, last May.....

The papers are Pink Paislee 'Captivating', the alphas are Paper Trunk, the transparency by Teresa Collins, butterflies are Collections Elements and the large red floral is by Basic Grey.....

Everything on the page was in the kit including the metal embellishment and the ribbon....

ADDIT: This layout won Top 5 in Challenge # 1 at Scrap it with a Song.....

Now for a couple of photo's from our recent Hong Kong trip.....

I was amazed at how closely packed everything was - everybody lives vertically!!!!

This was the foyer of our beautiful hotel - The Harbour Grand Hotel.....

The above building was once HMS Tamar - hubby was here in 1981 when he was in the Royal Navy - of course it was returned to the Chinese in 1997 and is now Chinese Government buildings - one of the reasons hubby wanted to return - Nostalgia......

I loved the old with the new - a temple nestled UNDER all these skyscrapers.....

Sadly our whole week was marred by cloud cover, and all the buildings being SOOOOO tall, they were usually buried in the clouds.....

This is the world's largest floating restaurant 'Jumbo' - three floors of the finest dining. We travelled there by junk, great experience.

We didn't have time to go for dinner, but we had a fine lunch there of the most amazing dimsums yummy yummy.....

Another temple on the road, Hong Kong is full of these beautiful buildings.....

Next time I will post some of my favourite photo's "Disneyland Hong Kong" .....

So, that's me for now - til next time.....

Waiting...

Another layout using the Full Tart Kit from July 09 by Lime Tart www.limetart.com

This time I have used the April 15th sketch from www.mysketchworld.blogspot.com

Papers are 7 gypsies and Websters...


Invisibles by Heidi Swapp.....


Flowers by Prima and Making Memories.....

American Crafts brads.....

Lace and ribbon from my stash.....

Photo is DD and DGD # 1 awaiting the arrival of DGD # 3.....

I found this sketch blog while browsing the blogs and went to upload layout to their site, as one does, and they don't appear to have a Mr Linky or anything like that.

I did create a profile with them (couldn't view their gallery without it) and uploaded the layout there, but seems a bit strange....

No mind - enjoyed the sketch and got a beautiful layout done. Not to mention using up more of my Lime Tart products.....

Away to work on the latest SOUS sketch, and maybe a photo from Hong Kong....
