Disney's Animal Kingdom

Finn Finds the Drums

This is another layout of miscellaneous papers from my stash that didn't come as a set. I used a cream cardstock for the "folder" behind the photo to make it look like a manila folder. I typed the "label" and my journaling on my old typewriter.  All the words and Mickey hand on the left side are stamps.

Finn was having a little bit of a rough morning. But, when he saw these drums, he lit right up, set it Kevin toy on the front, and started playing away. It was a moment we all remember well and one worth an 8x10 photo on its own page.

Many more Disney layouts on their way.

Happy 4th of July!

Using Papers Together That Weren't Sold as a Set

I'm always coming up with goals. I never stick with them, but I'm really good at creating them. My newest goal is to work on the grandkids' books. Another goal is to use up my stash of paper. This layout works toward both goals. I made this for pictures from a 4th of July parade in 2016 (only 4 years later!)

.

Try to ignore the carpet around the outer edge. I didn't realize how busy that made the pages look. I'm pretty short on cs that's a true red, so I took some white cs and stamped a pattern all around the edges for my base. 

The red hearts background paper (hearts aren't just for valentines) and the two different blue-themed papers are all from different CTMH paper packs. 

The second page has one of the blue papers for the background, again because I was very short on any kind of red paper. The red and blue stars are glittery felt pieces from my large stash of miscellaneous. The white stars (both sizes) are punched from white cs. I also added Nuvo Crystal Drops: Simply White and Silver Lining.

I can't believe my little Finn is 5 years old and ready to start kindergarten now. Also, looking at the parade photos I didn't use on the layout makes me appreciate all the events that have to be cancelled this year to keep us all healthy.

Happy 4th of July!

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.

"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.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
