Walking Around the World

 Why Our Feet Got Tired at Disney World

This layout is all about walking, and walking, and walking. Or riding too if you were Finn & Shae. I used elements from Echo Park's Magical Adventure, along with some old CTMH papers. I made the title using a Tim Holtz Thinlits Sizzix die, which I added some black Nuvo Crystal Drops to.

Although only a one-page layout, I also added an extra photo insert for this layout.

ONE LAYOUT LEFT, AND SCRAPBOOKING THIS TRIP IS DONE!

Thank you for looking at my art,

Disney Transportation

 "Kings of the Bus"

If you stay on Disney property, you become very familiar with Disney transportation, especially the bus. We tended to take a lot of bus pictures--waiting for the bus, happy on the bus to be going somewhere fun, or dead tired on the bus on the way back to our suite. 

I used a mixture of Best of Heidi Swapp papers and Echo Parks Magical Adventure elements, plus Mickey punches and black Nuvo Crystal drops. "King of the Bus" is the term we used when sitting on the very back bench seat that sits up higher than everyone else. It's also one of the worst seats because it sits over the engine and is hot.

The strips that mimic roads are just a chevron paper cut into strips. The picture of the bus at the top was found on the Internet. I love the picture of the kids hanging on the fence anxiously waiting our bus.

Thanks for looking!

Mickey Ears!

 (Or, Stitch, Candy, & BB-8 Ears)

Disney properties are probably the only place where you can walk around with a ridiculous set of ears on your head an maybe not even be notice.

The background paper here is from Doodlebug Design. The other elements are all from Echo Park's Magical Adventure series. I cut out all the ears using a Mickey punch that I just cut off the bottom from--I thought I was pretty genius to do that, although I'm sure I'm not the first. The word "Ears" is from a retired CTMH punch. Lastly, I added black and white Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Thanks for looking!

Magic Kingdom Layout

 Classic Main Street, U.S.A.

I hadn't done a white background layout yet, so I went with that here. I like the starkness and the contrast between the pictures and other papers against the white background.

I used some black cardstock, and some scraps from my Echo Park paper pack Magic Adventure. The large Mickey is an old sticker I had, and I added some Nuvo crystal drops. The title is made from a chipboard alphabet I had in my stash. I also added a "hidden Mickey" Nuvo drop as the period after "St." The phone at the bottom is a photo that came with our Photo Pass.

This page has more papers from Echo Park and some Mickey punches. The long picture at the top is a postcard we picked up several trips ago. There's nothing like watching kids' excitement as they walk down Main Street toward Cinderella's Castle for the first time.

Have a Magical Day!

Pressing Pennies Layout

 A "Cheap" Souvenir

The kids really enjoyed the penny press machines. We thought it was a good, cheap ($1 per penny) souvenir, which it would be until you find out HOW MANY machines are in Disney World. Even our resort had two. Plus, of course you have to buy the souvenir book to collect them in. We did not get every penny or even seek out machines unless one caught our eye.

Most of the papers are from CTMH (retired), and so is the stamped title. I handwrote the journaling.

Both pages have some copper Nuvo Crystal Drops and some copper metallic paper accents.

Thanks for looking!

Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run

 Another Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Layout

This layout is from the Millennium Falcon ride. They're just a little different, but the two pages are mostly the same papers from CTMH with added gold metallic paper to mimic the inside of the Millennium Falcon cockpit.

I found the sign in the upper left online. Note the time I took on the two pictures on the right to wait until most of the people were out of the way.

I added a lot of Nuvo Crystal drops to look like stars. I (obviously) handwrote the journaling with a gold metallic marker.

Again, May the Force Be With You,

More Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

 "Family Memories"

This is just a quick layout of some more pictures from Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. I like how happy they all are in the first picture and then Finn and Shae are SO tired in the last two pictures on the side. Seems about right for every Disney day. This page was made with scraps from my Echo Park Magical Adventure paper pack. I added Nuvo Crystal Drops and a flat clear disc to the camera lens. The tickets were part of a paper pattern, and I fussy cut them out.

Stay safe,

Shae's "Guys"

 Winnie the Pooh Theme

 

As long as Shae had her "guys" (what she calls any little person or animal character figure), she was pretty happy. She brought several with her, and Grandpa bought her some Winnie the Pooh themed guys on our first full day. Luckily, she knew exactly what she had because she noticed immediately if one was missing, so we didn't usually have to backtrack far to find the missing guy.

I used Winnie the Pooh papers from the Sandy Lion Disney paper pack and added some Pooh chipboard embellishments. I handwrote the journaling and added Nuvo Crystal Drops to match the papers.

I have a distinct memory of how dang hot it was this day. We were at EPCOT waiting for Finn, Neal, & Jess to ride Test Track. Shae was more than happy to get out of her stroller and line her guys up on that ledge.

The Magic Kingdom Depot Layout

Add Ons to Typical Disney Themed Paper 

I bought this piece of Disney copyrighted paper as a single sheet off a store rack. I don't know why. I bet I've had something similar for every Disney scrapbook I've made. The over-sized Mickey silhouette looks great, but then it's always a challenge deciding how to add pictures yet still show the paper. 

This time I added only one picture and a few embellishments to the bottom and the right. Then I added Nuvo drops to the paper and embellishments for some dimension and to make it sparkle a little.  Here are some places I added the drops:

(ebony black and pale gold)

(morning dew)

(simply white, pale gold, ebony black, & blue lagoon glitter)

Thanks for looking at all my Disney layouts! I can see the end (kind of). I'm defintely ready to start on some Christmas themed projects.

Shopping Layout

 Three-Page Layout All about Shopping

This layout is a three-page story. I'll put the first page (above) on a right-hand page across from a single-page layout, and the next two pages will be side-by-side.  The background paper is from the Sandy Lion Disney paper pad.

It's a little hard to see in the picture, but I took a second page of the same paper (I knew I wouldn't use two), and cut out Minnie's hands and the sign she's holding. I glued that cutout on top of the first page's picture, using dimensional adhesive. In person, it looks like the sign is coming off the page a little. I also added Fun Flock (remember that?) to the heart for extra texture/dimension.

The next two pages are just collage pages of pictures of shopping on more Sandy Lion paper. I added the dollar signs with Nuvo Crystal Drops (woodland green).

(NOTE: We did not buy everything pictured. When they wanted something, we appeased them by taking a picture so they could remember it if they wanted to choose it later. Disclaimer: They did get a lot. Grandpa Tom is a softie.)

This page of Sandy Lion paper was a perfect place to put photos of worn-out kids. The "ticket" in the middle was cut from Echo Park papers and then punched with a reverse corner punch. The little Mickeys are also a punch. The thought cloud is a sticker, and I used Nuvo Glitter Drops (silver moondust) on Minnie's glasses. I also added the yellow dots with Nuvo Crystal Crops (dandelion yellow).

Thanks for looking!
