Magic Kingdom Layout

 Classic Main Street, U.S.A.

I hadn't done a white background layout yet, so I went with that here. I like the starkness and the contrast between the pictures and other papers against the white background.

I used some black cardstock, and some scraps from my Echo Park paper pack Magic Adventure. The large Mickey is an old sticker I had, and I added some Nuvo crystal drops. The title is made from a chipboard alphabet I had in my stash. I also added a "hidden Mickey" Nuvo drop as the period after "St." The phone at the bottom is a photo that came with our Photo Pass.

This page has more papers from Echo Park and some Mickey punches. The long picture at the top is a postcard we picked up several trips ago. There's nothing like watching kids' excitement as they walk down Main Street toward Cinderella's Castle for the first time.

Have a Magical Day!

Pressing Pennies Layout

 A "Cheap" Souvenir

The kids really enjoyed the penny press machines. We thought it was a good, cheap ($1 per penny) souvenir, which it would be until you find out HOW MANY machines are in Disney World. Even our resort had two. Plus, of course you have to buy the souvenir book to collect them in. We did not get every penny or even seek out machines unless one caught our eye.

Most of the papers are from CTMH (retired), and so is the stamped title. I handwrote the journaling.

Both pages have some copper Nuvo Crystal Drops and some copper metallic paper accents.

Thanks for looking!

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween

 Dance Party!

As part of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween, there's a big dance party. Shae and Finn had a lot of fun. It didn't even phase Shae when she was knocked over by Sully (last photo).

The pictures were all taken at night with some weird lighting, but by printing them all a smaller size and not lining them up straight, it gives it a party feel. "dance party" is made with stickers, and the phrases are all from Tim Holtz Idea-ology. The paper is from DCWV collage art paper stack.

Thanks for looking!

More and More Rides

 Miscellaneous Ride Photos Layout

This layout is all those "extra" photos I wanted to include but either I didn't have enough pics for a full ride layout, I had too many pics for my layout, or I missed the photo when doing a previous layout.

Using scraps from my Echo Park Magical Adventure paper pack and washi tape, I tried to give this an old scrapbook feel. I even hand wrote pretty sloppily what the photos were of beside them with black ink.

Same on this side of the layout. Such happy faces on these rides!

Thanks for looking at my blog!

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,

Shae's "Guys"

 Winnie the Pooh Theme

 

As long as Shae had her "guys" (what she calls any little person or animal character figure), she was pretty happy. She brought several with her, and Grandpa bought her some Winnie the Pooh themed guys on our first full day. Luckily, she knew exactly what she had because she noticed immediately if one was missing, so we didn't usually have to backtrack far to find the missing guy.

I used Winnie the Pooh papers from the Sandy Lion Disney paper pack and added some Pooh chipboard embellishments. I handwrote the journaling and added Nuvo Crystal Drops to match the papers.

I have a distinct memory of how dang hot it was this day. We were at EPCOT waiting for Finn, Neal, & Jess to ride Test Track. Shae was more than happy to get out of her stroller and line her guys up on that ledge.

Thanks for looking!

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.

Thanks for stopping at my blog!

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.

Pirates of the Caribbean Layout

A Magic Kingdom Classic

The background of this page is black cardstock, then the brown piece from the Sandy Lion Disney stack of papers (I know this is actually themed for Peter Pan, but it works), and then the blue paper on top. I tore, crumpled, and ink distressed the brown and blue papers' edges and added a few creases in the center and inked those to make everything look old and more like a treasure map. I printed the title scroll with Word, using a text box and shape. "Yippeeeeee!" is an old sticker, but I thought it worked with Jess's & Neal's bored looks, which I blew up from the ride photo, because that was my only picture from Pirates.

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Ice Cream Layout

 Ice Cream on Hot Florida Disney Days

When it's 100 degrees in Florida, maybe ice cream isn't the greatest idea, but if the grandkids want ice cream at Disney World, that's what they're going to get.

These Mickey ice cream cones were our first treats at the Magic Kingdom, and they melted fast. The title and ice cream cones are cut with my Cricut from a CTMH cartridge. (I don't have a new Cricut, but I still have my old one and a hand full of cartridges. I've never used it that much, so I don't think it's worth it for me to upgrade to the new online version.) I added the cross hatches to the cones and distressed around the ice cream and cones to make them stand out a little better.

I made the Mickey ice cream bars simply using my Mickey punches, I cut out a "spill" for the dropped cone in the upper right. I like printing a series of pictures a little smaller for interest. The six pictures of Shae starting to eat her Mickey bar at Disney Studios are wallet size.

Thanks for looking!

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!
