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!

Shae Showing Her Love of the Characters

Shae loved meeting Minnie (and Mickey) so much. She even chose to have a Minnie-themed birthday party a few months later when she was home. 

Mickey and Minnie were in their birthday clothing so I chose a paper to match that. I had the sticker of Minnie on a carousel in my stash of Disney stuff from years ago. These pink and blue papers are from a large paper stack by Sandy Lion.  I used papers from a different Disney pack on the Radiator Springs layout a couple days ago. This pack is more girl themed and includes princesses.

Here's a picture of the two packs. The papers aren't the best quality, but they offer a lot of different Disney papers at a pretty low cost. I cut some up for embellishments. Some of theme are themed for Disney things I've never heard of from Disney Jr.

(Aside: I hate gender themed products!!! Why couldn't these packs be combined for everyone?!)

Here's the second page up close:

The heart is a punch, and the "photo op" ticket is a stamp I raised with dimensional adhesive, and I added Nuvo drops for an accent:

I added Stickles to the polka dots on Minnie's bow:

I also added several flower embellishments that almost match the paper, just to give it some more dimension. Lastly, I added some black buttons for flower centers and sequins from my stash.

As always, thanks so much for looking!

Minnie Mouse Birthday Party

Little Shae Turns Three!

Our little granddaughter turned three shortly after the holiday, and she had a Minnie Mouse birthday party.  I helped with the decorations, and they turned out great!

The table has a cheap table cloth topped with black and white polka dot wrapping paper (saw this color/polka-dot table cloth combo idea on Pinterest). The ONLY licensed Disney product is the balloon, which cost more than anything but the cake.

Her other grandma had this cute Minnie cake made from a local bakery. The pictures of Shae with Minnie Mouse from this fall's Disney World trip make great table decorations.

These wall decorations are my favorites. A local party store was going out of business, and I bought the pleated circles for less than $2.00 (90 percent off!!!). They were actually part of a welcome baby set and had baby-themed pictures for the centers. I threw those out and added mouse ears on the big pink one and mini Minnie silhouettes to the other two--just circles and simple bows.

(The little frame is something I made at a demonstration party.  It says, "Well behaved women rarely make history."  Not Minnie themed, but it fits our granddaughter very well.)

The two pink cupcake decorations were also from the going-out-of-business party store (one shown here). I added the "3" picks (also 90% off).

And for a "hidden Mickey," look at the black plates. :)

Another look at the whole thing:

So cute--but not as cute as this birthday girl:
