Sahlin Studio and I have been working our tails off to create something that I am so proud of, I feel like I could cry. <\/p>\n<p>Introducing . . . Project Mouse.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&amp;search_in_description=1&amp;keyword=project+mouse\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/introLO.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nKrista Sahlin and I were talking about how we would like to try documenting an entire Disney trip using Project Life &#8211; or as I call it, &#8220;Pocket Style&#8221;.  Then we realized that we were BOTH in the beginning stages of a Disney-themed collection of products and that we both had the same vision for a complete memory keeping solution for documenting Disney trips!  Because we LOVE working together, we knew we had to join forces.  <\/p>\n<p>Krista &amp; I really want to get across that Project Mouse is MORE than just another digi-kit.  It&#8217;s a system, a solution, an important tool in your memory keeping.  We even wrote up a Mission Statement.<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/MissionStatement.png\" \/><\/center>Today, we are thrilled to be releasing the first 4 products in our Project Mouse line.  These products have been created as a sort of &#8216;core&#8217; to the collection &#8211; a massive stash of basics &#8211; to start documenting your Disney memories, or ANY memories in fact.  (You&#8217;ll see when we get to my team&#8217;s layouts how incredibly versatile Project Mouse is!)  But believe me, there&#8217;s <i>LOTS<\/i> more Project Mouse coming over the next month and a half!  This is only the beginning . . . <\/p>\n<p>Ok, ok!  Enough jibber jabber.

I told you guys <a href=\"https:\/\/brittishdesigns.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/teaser.html\">yesterday<\/a> to &#8216;hold onto your ears&#8217;.  Now you know why, right?!  <\/p>\n<p><i>(Pssst! There&#8217;s a freebie at the end of this post that you&#8217;ll definitely want to download!!  So, keep on reading. . . )<\/i><\/p>\n<p>My plan right now is to conduct a little experiment.  I&#8217;m going to try and scrap my ENTIRE September 2012 Disneyland trip Pocket Style and use Project Mouse to get things started!!  <\/p>\n<p>Goals of my experiment:<\/p>\n<p>1) To see if I like Pocket Style enough for an entire album.<br \/>\n2) To see how much I miss creating and then looking at traditional pages in my trip album.<br \/>\n3) To see how long it takes, and if pocket-style is really as quick and efficient as I think it is.<\/p>\n<p>I figure, I&#8217;m aesthetically drawn to Pocket Style and I&#8217;d LOVE LOVE LOVE to get a whole trip done for once!! Haha! It never hurst to try, right? We&#8217;ll see how it goes. I&#8217;ll be talking about this &#8220;experiment&#8221; here on my blog as I go along with all the Project Mouse releases.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my first Project Mouse layout for this trip:<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/HangingOutatDCA_BLOG.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/HangingOutatDCA_BLOG.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAnother cool thing is: Krista is all about printing her cards before her trip and using them on her trip to collect autographs, have her kids write down memories, and then start keeping her book in real <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beckyhiggins.com\/products\/\">Project Life page protectors<\/a> right then and there. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/projectmouse-krista.jpg\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nThat is something I&#8217;ll plan to do with Scarlett down the road when she&#8217;s a little older, for NOW I&#8217;m just all about creating digital pages of trips after we return home. So we have both spectrums of how to use Project Mouse covered. Cool, huh? <\/p>\n<p>Now I have a whole ton of layouts to share with you created by the amazing Britt Girls.  We&#8217;ll all be posting our layouts in the brand new Project Mouse Flickr Group too!  We hope you&#8217;ll come join the group and post your Project Mouse LOs there too!  Pretty soon it&#8217;ll be a group FULL of amazing layouts to inspire and delight each other.<\/p>\n<p>Ok onto the team layouts.
