Bummer that you will miss some of the marathon. Maybe you can play on Friday and Saturday?

Have a fabulous trip to WDW! How long you stayin? Drop me a PM. I'd love to meet you while you are down. I still have family visiting so it may be tricky and I'll be busy wrapping up the marathon during the week, but maybe the following weekend? Let me know.

Ok, total newbie question on the marathon - is this for digital scrapbooking or can it include traditional?

You can absolutely do traditional pages! The important thing is just getting some of your Disney pages done. When you've followed the directions and completed your page just take a photo or scan and upload to the gallery.

For the most part, you will be able to follow the instructions exactly. But there may be a few cases where you'll need to adapt the instructions a little to complete the challenge. For example - one of your instructions may be to use a template that has 4 pics. In that case you could base your page off a sketch for a 4 pic page. Or you may be instructed to put 2 scatters on your page. Then you might want to take 3 tiny flowers and cluster them together to approximate a scatter and do that twice.

I have closing shifts that weekend that I can't afford to give away (I'll have taken too much time off if I end up doing a spring break cruise) but I'm going to try and make at least the half marathon.

I am going to do my best to attend all the chats but I should be able to squeeze in my layouts. The bigger issue is I am almost out of Disney photos to scrap. If it was a month later I'd have a whole new trip to scrap. Guess I will have to do some place holder photos or rescrap some photos I'm not 100% happy with the layout for.

Looking forward to all the fun and I a great bit thank you to the hosts and designers.

If it was this week, it would be perfect! Next week, WOW! I have hockey, dance, modelling class, sleepover party, hockey, catechism, church, modelling, rugby, dance and another hockey game. I will get the pages done, but no one will want to be around me!

This will be my third SS and I've done all 16 both times. I'm too stubborn not to get them all done. Wish me luck!

I had this problem for about 2 years in between my last 2 trips! I had finished my prior trip....and my next trip wasn't for a couple years still! YET, I wanted to keep scrapping Disney! some things I did, that you can try too!

scrap your planning stages for an upcoming trip
create Quick Pages (scrap a page using old photos or stock photos...and remove them to make a quick page
scrap Disney around your house- a new Princess outfit, kids playing with Disney toys, Halloween (my girls always seem to have at least 1 Disney costume in their group), Paint your fingernails or toenails in a Disney print (Mickey heads or polka dots work great).

Anything that has a Mickey/disney theme to it can work! Even eating Mickey pancakes, or take photos of Disney around your house (any past souvenears, kitchen items, that type of thing!

Hope those helped!

Cynthia, thank you for the planning pages!
