Pooh Bear and Eeyore Save the Day!

I have scrapped some photos from this Disney memory before, but I added some new ones on this layout.     What happened is that I had a Disney Scrapbook club at my LSS, and so some of us decided to take a trip to Disneyland together.  Two of the girls had little ones.  One of them, H had been taking her daughter since she was born, but it was the first time for T and her son.   The day started off just great with the Tiki Room and the Jungle Cruise.  Then, we went on Pirates, not having any idea that it would completely and utterly terrify poor T's son.  We quickly tried to regroup and headed to Critter Country for a little time with Pooh and Eeyore, which greatly helped the situation.  Unfortunately we had done a number on the kid as far as dark rides go for quite some time.  I'm happy to say that he did grow out of it eventually and came to enjoy Disneyland immensely before they had to move out of state.  So at least we didn't scar him for life.

Ta daaaaaaaaaaaa!  I actually got out my Cricut CARTIDGES and cut some things out!!  I can't tell you the last time I actually used a cartridge. And if the truth be told, it actually wasn't all that bad once I figured out how to get it to cut all the parts again.  There was a slight re-learning curve and I ruined several pieces of cardstock, but I was victorious in the end!!

I kept this side fairly simple, but had fun using the stickers and my Mickey punches for the journaling block.

If you haven't gotten to ride the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride at Disneyland, take a virtual ride here:

The View from Pooh Corner

If you have ever spent much time in Critter Country in the far back corner of Disneyland, you know how many really cute details they have added since they took out our beloved Country Bears and put in the Pooh ride.  Don't get me wrong, I love the Pooh ride, but not as a replacement for the bears.  I wish they could have worked something out so that we could have had both. Regardless, the little details are again what make trips to Disney so delightful.

I got some of Pink Paislee's Prairie Hill paper and since it had clouds, I was inspired to use this sketch #79  from Sketch Savvy.  

I kind of followed the sketch, but made it fit the papers and things that I had.  I felt like the kites and clouds were just perfect for these pictures.

And I couldn't help throwing in a few Hidden Mickey clouds too!

This was a fun, simple layout and I enjoyed using some paper that I wasn't particularly sure about at first.

Here is a great audio version of the Critter Country Loop that you can listen to as you scrap your own Critter Country layouts.
