This months challenge is Confetti Wishes paper pack, brought to you by the new Annual Inspirations, hand picked from Nancy Klein.

I love CTMH's wonderful paper, it lends itself so well to so many themes. Confetti Wishes is no exception, it is a birthday themed kit. . . or is it!! :) With its bright colours there are lots of fun possibilities.Well, as most of know I have been trying to finish scrapbooking our last trip to Disneyland, so I decided to use the bright colours in this paper pack would make another great Disney layout.

I used Magic,one of CTMH's wonderful how to books, as a starting point or my layout.

Here is what I created: (Warning Lots of Photos!!)

I love the simplistic style of this layout, but it holds a few surprises. The little dolls are from a paper that I purchased in Disneyland and trimmed to create the borders on my layout.

The ribbon on this layout is a May Arts white ribbon that I coloured with my Shin Han markers to match.

These cuties I enlarged, hand traced and then coloured with my Shin Han markers.

This sunny guy, is a re-creation of the sun inside the ride.

This Photo is more than what it seems. . . it is a Tag mini album - to hold the many pictures my 9 year old took on the multiple times through the ride.

I hope that you like my project for this month.
