I didn't put on any credits, since the book is entirely for family use, but if you're interested -- I bought just a few kits, mostly from Britt (Leave the World Behind, Space Ranger, Galactic Alliance, Just Plain Fun, Glamorama paper pack, Happiest Dots on Earth paper pack, Our Happiest Place word art) and one from Kellybell (I Love that Mouse), and the rest was from freebies... I would have LOVED to buy a ton more stuff, but my husband would have murdered me...

The Mousescrappers' challenge pp's have really helped - I was so excited to get Denise's Stashbuilders that I went back and added hidden Mickeys to all the layouts that didn't have them... my 7-year-old is going to love trying to find them!

The whole thing took about 2 months, and it would have been quicker had I not had to wait for my Photopass cds (although that waiting time is when I discovered Mousescrappers and learned a ton of new stuff)... I went by the motto that an imperfect finished photobook is a lot better than an almost perfect not-printed one... and just got it done. If I can do it, you can do it!

Wow! Great job! Thanks for all the info on kits you used Can't wait to make my next book. Love the hidden mickey idea.
