"Love a Parade" Spectromagic by Debra

This is Debra's 3rd Entry - Spectromagic! I love these beautiful night time parades at Disney - and this fab layout is perfectly accented by the glittery writing and jewels. The black background is the perfect choice to offset the wonderful photos! Thank You and Good Luck xx

"Love a Parade" Unforgetable Surprise By Helen

This is Helen's 4 page layout for my Challenge - an Unforgetable Surprise. They were chosen at DLP Disney Studios to be "Stars for the Day" as they entered the park - they were treated like VIP's for the day - but their Unforgetable Surprise was actually being in the Parade, wow - what a unique opportunity! This fabulous set of layouts captures the day beautifully with lovely hidden journalling and more... I love the use of the film strips and the black writing and background for the photos is a lovely "Disney" coloured contrast against the Red Mickey background paper... I think that the journalling that sums it up is "Imagine being 4 years old and holding Mickey's hand while you ride in his float" - gives me those tingly disney goosebumps!! ( I am sure you all know what I mean!! Thank You and Good Luck xx
