Disney's Hollywood Studios

 
So, y'all sick of Disney layouts yet? I hope not, because I've got a few more to share! These are all from our first day at Hollywood Studios, which was also our first full day in Disney.
The first one is about a photo op we took advantage of just outside the park gates. Mike Wazowski's appearance in the bottom right photo was a pleasant surprise when we saw these pictures for the first time!
 

Here's a recap of our day. The top left photo of the Rock'n Rollercoaster entrance is a stock photo, beside which is Cole and me on the ride. Don't I look thrilled? Guess 0-60 in mere seconds isn't such a good look on me! My eyes stayed firmly shut for the first half of that ride. Cole, however, looks totally unaffected.....what gives?


And here we are meeting Goofy under the big sorcerer's hat. The title was done with my newest Cricut cartridge, Mickey Font, layered over a journaling card. Goofy's signature on the bottom right photo was a stamp feature I included from the Photopass software.


And a close up of the journaling:

And finally, a layout about our evening. All of these photos, except for the top right, are stock photos. Thank goodness for stock photos!  The title is another product of the Mickey Font cartridge. I used the end caps feature to cut out the title within the ticket.

Look What Arrived Christmas Eve!

 
Merry Christmas to me! 
 

I took a lot of time debating whether I wanted this cartridge. First it was a question of economics and usefulness. It turned into a question of ethics, both mine and Provo Craft's. I bought the digital cartridge; they took a week to think about it and then took it away. Their customer service/public relations throughout the entire ordeal was lacklustre at best.
In the end, I decided that since I've been "not giving Cricut money" for years now, it would be more beneficial and satisfying for me to get what I wanted. I found someone who was willing to sell and ship to a Canadian address for the same money I would have paid Cricut to ship me the physical cartridge on sale. Yes, in the end they got my money but I'm still claiming a win.
It's mine, all mine......and it's wonderful!
