Have you experienced the magic of the newest Disney movie, Encanto? If not, stop what you are doing and go look it up on Disney Plus to experience the Encanto magic for yourself! Sarah Beth requested a mother-daughter date to see the movie in the theater over Christmas break. Since then, she has watched the movie countless times and can quote and sing every song. We both loved the characterization and break from the traditional Disney princess movie. I was inspired by the bright colors and whimsical setting and backgrounds throughout the movie. I walked out of the movie feeling like I needed to pull out some bright colored scrapbook paper and create something to match the movie themes.
That night Sarah Beth and I pulled out pretty paper and let our imaginations run wild.
I challenged myself to use 3 pieces of scrapbook paper and some random scraps and embellishments. My mind works best when narrowing my selection and then using what is in front of me to create something new.
Encanto is magic! I haven’t scrapbooked in years, but it felt good to sit down and create something just for fun!
There are so many powerful themes in Encanto, but what stood out to me was the power of individual miracles or gifts. We have all been given unique gifts and talents to serve our family and community. When we are embracing our God given gifts and talents we are thriving and living a fulfilled life.
As we bridge into a new year, I’ve spent time reflecting on this past year and I am ready to “expand” into 2022!
What about you? What did you love about the Encanto movie?
