Barnstormer

I just got this New DCWV Great Vacation Stack and the papers are just so fun and cheerful that I had to find a way to use the little airplane paper. I want to use the paper with the jets on it for actual airport photos, but the little plane made me think of Goofys Barnstormer at the Magic Kingdom. And the clouds are just fun to layer with foam squares. I cut apart a little journaling block and attached it at the top and bottom of the photo mat. The Goofy is cut from DCWV cardstock and coordinating papers using the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge.

I have a little tip - when you are using papers with glossy or glittery accents like the foil and gloss on these papers, don't forget that you need a truly permanent marker that is meant to write on glossy surfaces. I tried to use my fine point sharpie and guess what? that did not dry at all! I am sure there are other options, but I recommend the American Crafts Slick Writer markers.

Did you know that Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland is getting a huge expansion so they have taken out Mickey's ToonTown Fair to make room. I will miss Mickey and Minnie's houses but I just cant wait to see the new Fantasyland, it looks like it will be amazing. The good news is that the Barnstormer is going to be updated. I hope this is code for LONGER ride. LOL! Did you know that if you start timing when you actually take off on the ride, its 16 seconds long? How crazy is that? I mean if you count getting in and out of the vehicle its about a minute. It's a fun little ride but waiting in a queue for 20 min for a 16 second ride is not cool. Still I am glad we have photos because its really cute and fun.
