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!

Rainbow Days

 Disney World Rainbow Favorites

Finn and Shae LOVE Rainbows. If given a choice, they chose something with a rainbow theme over anything else.

The background paper is from the Sandy Lion Disney paper stack. I cut out the rainbow on my Cricut, and I handwrote the journaling and title. I added a rainbow of colors of Nuvo Crystal Drops to the title and the journaling. (That's a glare on Jess's face I didn't notice until uploading this photo.)

Thanks for looking!

Jessy / Jessie Layout

 Disney World's Best-Dressed Tourist

Jess prides herself on looking the part. This Jessy / Jessie layout showcases Jess's best Disney Tourist Look. It's made with Echo Park's Magical Adventure papers with some leftover from Woody & Jessie stickers.

In case you can't read the journaling well (done on my vintage typewriter), here are Jess's must-haves for a Disney tourist: Ears, Sunglasses, Magic Band, Battery-Operated Fan, Cooling Towel, Pin Lanyard, and Fanny Pack. 

Cheers,

Ms. Molly

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,

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Layout

 Fun for all "four" of us!

This layout makes me laugh. Neal, Jess, & I rode the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney Studios, and a guy from the single rider line joined us and sat by me. I really didn't want him in the picture, so I cut out a picture of Tom's face and put it over that guy's face.  Just to make it more ridiculous I used the happiest picture I could find, scaled it too big, and popped it up with dimensional adhesive. The other photo on the page is from our Photo Pass disc.

(And the t-shirt "Tom" has on is a Hard Rock t-shirt. LOL!)

Rock on,

--Ms. Molly

Disney Treats Layout

 Yum!

This layout is for some of best pictures we took of treats. Of course, the rainbow "Happy Bar" was the number one treat.

The background paper is from the stack "Best of Heidi Swapp." I also used a couple pages from an old travel journal, and a few stickers from Doodlebug's "Bar-B-Cute" stickers set. I wrote the journaling by hand. "Yum" was stamped with a retired CTMH set, and I made the exclamation point with black cardstock, my small Mickey punch, and a sticker.

I don't usually like to use stickers, especially the kind with the white margins, but I learned this trick from Dyan Reavely: If you outline everything on a page in black ink, it makes all the details more coherent, and that's what I did on this layout. I also added a few Nuvo Dot drops in the corner of each page.

Thanks for looking!

Tower of Terror Layout

 Welcome to the Twilight Zone . . .

The Hollywood Tower of Terror is a great ride and always deserves a layout.

I cut out the spider & webs and the title with my Cricut. The brown cardstock is the background, and the black layer of cardstock has the edge punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I used black ink all around the page and on the webs and letters.

The bottom right photo is Jess & Neal's ride photo. The picture of the elevator door is from our photo pass. The journaling is the script that Rod Sterling narrates when you get on the ride.

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.

Belle and Gaston Layout

 Shae's Absolute Favorite!

While Finn's number one must-see was Baymax, Shae really wanted to see Belle. She got to meet her during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. You can tell Shae was a little tired, and a lot sweaty, but she was SO happy. She was a little nervous to meet Gaston at first (because he's mean!), but Belle convinced her that he is nice now.

First, sorry about the show and crooked picture. I swear the title is straight! The background is from the paper pack "Best of Heidi Swapp." It's less grey and more brown in person. The title stamp and journaling block are retired stamps from CTMH. "Belle" seems easier to read in person. The embellishments are all from my stash. The abstract square surrounding the "B" is a Sizzix Thinlits die.

Again, this layout is square in person!. The top right was curling up a little, so it made the whole thing look askew. The background paper here, as well as the blue mat & heart on the left page are from the DCWV paper stack called "Collage Art." I cut some of the flowers from the same paper as the left page to put on the edges.

Again, we had so many pictures, and they were all so cute, I added a photo insert page to hold six additional pictures of Shae with Belle and Gaston.

Have a great day!

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Layout

 Another All-Disney Photos Layout

We only had Disney ride photos for this Magic Kingdom attraction, so I blew up and cut out Jess & Neal from one of those photos for the third photo. The title are stickers, and I cut out all the "jewels" and triangle metallic pieces. The round "jewels" are made by punching circles and then cutting them into six pieces and then putting them back together on a black punched circle. The patterned paper is a wood grain, and I added a lot of Nuvo drops and wrote "Hi-Ho!" randomly on it. I haven't ridden the ride personally, but Jess said there are "gems" everywhere, so it works.

Thanks for stopping to look!

Airplane Layout

 Finn & Shae's First Flight

Finn might look a little apprehensive, but he was really excited about riding in a plane for the first time. These papers are CTMH, and I used stickers for the title and embellishments. I typed up the journaling on my vintage typewriter. My favorite question Finn asked before the trip: "Will [the plane] do loop-de-loops?" It did not. Shae was sure that people were waving back at her when she waved from the window mid-flight. I'm so glad I wrote these things down to remember.

Thanks for looking at my blog!

Batuu Layout

 Visiting the Land of Star Wars

The Star Wars area in Disney Studios is one of Disney World's newest themed areas, and it was a must-see for us--well most of us.

This layout is all cardstock. I used colors that went with the theming. "Batuu" was cut out with my Cricut, and I made the little squares (kind of like circuit boards?) just by cutting squares and adding random silver Nuvo Crystal Dots (silver lining). I also added the Nuvo Crystal Dots to the letters. Lastly, I had some old metal embellishments I added to two corners of the photos.

This page is Finn & Neal building a remote control BB-8, something special they signed up to do. I used a thick white paint pen on black cardstock for the title. The BB-8 came from my local scrapbook store, Memory Bound.  Otherwise, this page is similar to the left-hand page.

May the force be with you,

--Ms. Molly

Another Character Moment Layout

Dancing with Timon

 

Another "Disney Magic" moment I'm so glad we captured in photos. Timon from Lion King came out to Discovery Island at Animal Kingdom and began dancing. Many kids were dancing around the area, but Shae ran right up and started dancing with him. They danced until Shae was ready to quit. She was so happy! I think she was just so cute that the other people stood and watched instead of cutting in for a dance. We could hear people during the whole trip commenting on how cute she was with the characters. This was a really fun memory to think about while I made the layout.

I did all the journaling in Word and printed it on cardstock. The musical instrument paper is from the Sandy Lion Disney paper pad (actually made for the Winnie the Pooh theme), and it matches perfectly with Timon's fur. I matted it with a sunny orange cardstock and tied a couple strings around the layout and knotted them above and at the bottom of the photos. Super easy, but it conveys the moment pefectly. Shae won't remember the moment, but she'll know it happened from these saved memories. 💓

Thanks for looking!

Just a Memory

 Layout from Animal Kingdom

This layout was purely for me. it was taken in Animal Kingdom at Donald's Dino-Bash statue. The pictures aren't great because the kids are looking directly into the sun. My journaling (handwritten) reminds me that the kids were so good to pose for all the pictures (probably hundreds between me, their mom, and Disney photographers) while we spent the week at Disney World--even when the sun was in their eyes. I made the whole page sunny themed with various papers and cardstock. The sunbeams at the top were cut freehand and tucked under the patterned paper for the sunburst. I added Nuvo Drops in the center of the bottom sun and at the inner areas of the sunbeams.

Have a great day!

The Great Goofini Layout

 A Goofy Layout from Magic Kingdom

I used another paper pack that's retired from CTMH. I'm putting in a conscious effort to use up out some of my paper stash. This one, however, fits perfectly with Goofy's Great Goofini theming and costume.

The picture on the top left of this page is one of our favorites of Shae from the whole trip. She was completely immersed into the magic of Disney.

The stars were punched out of the patterned papers and then put on other coordinating papers to go with Goofy's theming and the star paper that was part of the paper collection.

I typed the journaling in Word, highlighting a few phrases in coordinating colors, and printed it on white cardstock. 

I also printed "The Great Goofini" on cardstock after typing it in Word. In the bottom left picture of this page, Shae is so happy that she's almost crying.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

Scrooge McDuck Layout

 Another Character Greeting for Shae

One more character that I'm sure Shae has no idea who they are--at least I know this one. Don't worry: I didn't use the picture, but of course she gave him a hug too. This layout is simple. I went with the black and white theme for the "scrooge"/old money feeling. "Shae" is done with alphabet stickers. The patterned paper and photo corners are retired CTMH. The man in the top hat is from Tim Holtz. I thought he looked like he might be a scrooge too. There are silver Nuvo Drops along the horizontal paper, around Shae's name, and between the bottom of the page and the horizontal paper on the bottom left.

Thanks for looking!

Tomorrowland Layout

 "Future World"

Finn loves space, so this picture of him looking at this giant globe had to be showcased. I used CTMH retired papers and a round piece of CTMH chipboard for the half circle. For the title I used two kinds of chipboard alphabets. I didn't have enough of either to use just one, and I like the look and will do it again. "Tomorrowland" was stamped with CTMH "Typewriter" alphabet (retired). I few of the hexagons in the pattern paper are filled with silver Nuvo Drops.

For some reason when I was making this layout I thought the name of Tomorrowland WAS Future World (I know better), so I had to add the little "Tomorrowland." It's one of those mistakes that works.

Thanks for looking at my blog!

Mickey Mouse Layout

 Classic Mickey at Epcot

Mickey Mouse in his traditional red pants and black jacket is only located in EPCOT (or at least he was when we visited).

All of the papers on the first page are from Echo Park's "Magical Adventure" series, except for the mat under the picture--not sure what that's from. The Mickey silhouette is a punch.

I made the mouse ears (white with blue polka dots) just by using my Mickey punch and cutting off the bottom part of the head. I hand wrote "Mickey at EPCOT" with white paint pen.

I was especially happy about this character greeting because Finn was a little nervous when we saw Mickey at Magic Kingdom and wouldn't be in the pictures. So, it was great for Finn to meet Mickey and to get a picture of him with Mickey in it.

Thanks for looking!

Daisy Duck Layout

 Shae Hamming It Up with Another Character

This is just a "cute" layout of Shae and Daisy Duck. Shae was really posing for this one. The papers are retired CTMH, the flowers are incredibly old, and the hearts are punched out from white cardstock that was embossed with my Cuttlebug.

Cheers,

--Ms. Molly
