One-Page Disney World Layout

This very casual layout tries to capture this area, Dino Land, U.S.A., in Disney World's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. The area is more carnival-like than most of Disney. This ride is open air, much like you would see at any smaller amusement park. I used CTMH's  Lagoon cardstock and the B&T paper is from the CTMH "Chalk It Up" paper pack (long retired).

I pretty much made up the layout as I went, but I did copy the little off-center circle designs from a layout in Leisure Arts book, Fast Scrapbooking with 4x6 Photos (copyrighted in 2012!). The layout was called Johnny Rockets and was made by Kelly Purkey, so a shout out to her for the inspiration. Yes, I still have scrapbook BOOKS, and I still like to thumb through them and magazines for ideas. Even if they are old and out of date style-wise, they can usually offer some inspiration.  But, like most people, Pinterest has become my go-to place for ideas.

I used three different sized circle punches, a star punch, dimensional adhesive, and "silver moondust" Nuvo Glittler Drops to make mine. They add a little circular motion to this layout for a spinning ride. 

Fun fact: When I posted this layout, I realized I had spelled "TriceraTops" incorrectly, so I went back and changed the second "i" to an "a" in my journaling and glued a new "a" banner over the "i" banner. Good as new. Here's a before--Oops!

Lots more Disney layouts to post, so I hope you keep checking in.

Cheers,

Colorful Graduation Cards

(Second post today. Please scroll down to see my first post.)

 

Tired of all the black & white graduation cards? Me too. Why always use black and white with maybe some silver or gold unless we know the graduate's school colors?--and even then we just add red, blue, or some other basic color.

 

I made these nontraditional graduations colorful. I also used scraps of paper in my scrap stash. All weekend I'm trying to use up scraps.  On this first card I used CTMH's stamp set "Chalk It Up":

I used a black Sharpie to highlight the letters and arrow and popped up the 2015 with dimensional adhesive. I really like the retro colors of this paper. 

 

And this card's letters were cut from CTMH's Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. Again, I used scrap paper.

This card is not my own design. I saw something very similar on Pinterest, but the link led me to a Better Homes & Gardens website. I apologize for not being able to name the original designer.
