Lion King Layout

"Our Area" of Art of Animation

Every day when we walked back and forth to our room from the bus stop, the restaurant, the pool, etc., we walked through theming from Lion King.

We opted to stay in this area because (1) who doesn't love The Lion King?! (2) there isn't a pool there, so we didn't have to worry about noise ever, and (3) it was very close to the main building where the restaurant, arcade, gift shop, and bus stop are located.

The papers I used are from the CTMH paper pack (retired) Sarita. "Brave" is from Tim Holtz Ideology. The sun is made from two sun punches glued down so the yellow rays show through between the orange rays. The title is from a Sizzix alphabet die cut set.

Pictures from "the elephant boneyard." Two more suns added and "remember this," which is from Tim Holtz.

Thanks for looking!

It's a Mouse Thing

Another One-Page Layout with 5x7 Photo

I really like making one-page layouts. You can be very creative without worrying about a theme carrying forward on to the second page. Again, I used Echo Park's "Magical Adventures" paper pack.

This photo was taken our first day when we met Mickey & Minnie at the Magic Kingdom. Finn was a little too shy to be in the picture, but Shae enjoyed it, and Finn liked being able to see them--just not too close.

(I should mention that the background paper is not as crooked as it appears on the black background--it's just the way I cropped (poorly) the photo.)

The stars on this page and the little Mickey silhouettes are fabric stickers. The curvy strip across the top is a "Just the Edge" card stock strip from Bazzill.

It's a Small World Layout

Using Supplies That Are All at Least 10 Years Old!

This layout went SO fast, and was very economical. The background paper is so old I don't know where it came from. I've always had it. There's no brand that I can find, and it's that older, thin paper that I would probably never buy now. The six flowers are made with an older EK Success punch, that was one of the first punches I ever bought. The centers are a 1/2 inch circle punch. "small world" was stamped with old CTMH inks and the discontinued alphabet "chocolate." I had to modify the "D" because it was too big for my paper, and all the Ls had the same problem, so they're actually just the top part of an exclamation point. There's always a workaround. I outlined the flowers and highlighted the letters with a thin purple marker to match the background paper. (The marker is probably more like 2-3 years old, so I guess I cheated a little.)

If I was starting over, I'd probably cut an inch off both sides of the background paper and mat it with a purple cardstock, but I'm not starting over. I think it turned out just as good as some of my more time-consuming pages, and it matches the It's a Small World right very well.

(Again, my cropping made the picture a little less than square, and it's much more even in person.)

Monsters, Inc. Disney World Layout

12 x 12 Disney World Scrapbook Layout

During Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, James P. Sullivan (Sully) from Monster's Inc. was out and about, and two-year-old Shae ran up and danced with him. The handler didn't stop her, and they were quite a hit I'm told, although he did knock her over once--she was so short he couldn't see her. This is the only picture we have of her dancing with him. Sully is one of her favorite characters, and she said she wanted to see him before we even went on the trip.

The Monsters, Inc. paper on the left is from Scrap your Trip and is called  "Tomorrow Land: Laugh Floor."  The green paper is discontinued CTMH paper. I typed up the journaling on my old typewriter, and I believe the red scraps and the film strip are from Echo Park. I added the bits of red to go with Shae's dress, and I think it worked well.  I cut "Sully" out on my Cricut. The "stitching" around the blue mat is made with a white pen.

"Wish You Were Here" Disney World Layout

12 x 12 Disney World Scrapbook Layout

Every scrapbooker knows Disney trips are one of the most fun subjects to scrap.  I've already finished more pages from our Disney trip than I have from last year's beach trip, and I LOVE the beach.

This layout is busy, busy, busy. The pictures of Tom & me and Jess & Neal are from Magic Kingdom (back by the Jungle Cruise, close to Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride).

I took this picture by sitting it in front of a framed picture on an easel, so note the black frame and black easel base isn't part of the page.

Almost everything in this layout is from Echo Park, with the exception of some Mickey silhouettes and some black "Just the Edge" from Bazzill from many years ago. I started with a similar pattern I saw on Pinterest, with lots of "clutter" on each side and a place for pictures down the middle. I took that idea and went crazy with the outsides. Some of the Echo Park items on the sides are stickers and some are cut from from 12x12 papers.

Many more layouts are on the way, along with the last couple posts of my Disney Junk Journal. If you're a Disney fan, you're in the right spot. And, I'll try to get some Valentines posted soon as well.
