Crystal Palace DIsney Layout

One of my favorite character meals in Disney World is at Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom. Not only is the food delicious, I get to see my favorite character - Eeyore!

I used another Scrapbook Generation Sketch for this layout and cut the title with my Cricut. I love that I'm able to weld all of my letters together to create titles like this so easily.

Disney Tiana Layout with Queen & Co Papers

Today is my youngest daughter's birthday and she's turning 9! So I decided to showcase this layout that I made with the Queen & Co Magic Collection! These photos were taken when she was 4 and she got to meet Princess Tiana at Magic Kingdom. I LOVED they way they interacted so much!

Since Evie was dressed as Rapunzel I decided to use the tower paper on this layout. I used another Scrapbook Generation Sketch for the photo placement but added my own twist to the paper placement. That's why I love sketches so much, you can use as much or as little as you like to make it yours.

Happy Birthday, Evie! Wishing you magic for all the years to come!

Spirit of Aloha Disney Scrapbook Layout with Photo Play Paper

Since I had already created a layout of my family enjoying this show, I decided to highlight all of the performers in this layout.

I found this amazing Scrapbook Generation Sketch that combined a ton of full sized 4 x 6" photos with a great collage of my beautiful Photo Play Papers. I again used the Rhapsody collection for this title page, and used my Cricut to write the title on my patterned paper! With a few simple embellishments and a little washi tape this layout came together really quickly!

Disney Luau Scrapbooking with Photo Play Paper

Here's another Disney Layout that I made with the help of a Scrapbook Generation Sketch and some GORGEOUS papers from the Photo Play Paper Rhapsody Collection. If you haven't checked out Photo Play Paper yet, take a minute to visit their website HERE and check out all of their amazing collections.

I loved the colors on the Rhapsody Collection with my photos that I took of my girls at the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show at Disney's Polynesian Resort. The food there was amazing and even though it rained the show still went on. We had a fantastic time!

Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage Layout

Today I've got another Disney Trip Layout to share! This was another one that came together really quickly with the help of a Scrapbook Generation Sketch and some Jolees Stickers.

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney Princess movie so I LOVED the stage show. I took about a million pictures of it, but managed to narrow the show down to my top 8 (it was HARD). I tried to find ones to showcase the plot as much as I could. I used a pretty simple pattern for the background to really highlight my photos. I also found this tickets die cut that I had in my stash and they were a perfect accent along with the Beauty and the Beast Jolees Stickers. For the title I put the sticker onto a white piece of cardstock and fussy cut around it. Then I added a little foam adhesive under it to pop it up like the layered Beauty and the Beast Image sticker.

Hurray for Hollywood Layout

Today I'm sharing another layout from my Disney Scrapbook. I was again inspired by a Scrapbook Generation Sketch. I highly recommend their sketchbooks (and I'm not paid to say that, I'm just a HUGE fun)!

I used my Cricut to cut the circles and star and then I cut the title from permanent vinyl. The vinyl can be cut a bit easier than cardstock for a cut this delicate, and the title transferred easily with transfer tape.

Scrapbooking Disney - Hollywood Studios Layout

One of the biggest projects I've been working on has been a true labor of love, Scrapbooking our families first Disney Trip! We took the trip in September of 2013 and it's been the only thing I've scrapped since. I have some many other side projects and crafts that work themselves into my scrapbooking time, but I recently attended a crop and was able to make a few layouts so I thought I would share them with you over the next few days!

The first one I completed was the fun Hollywood Studios Layout! The background and banners were made with scraps I've accumulated over the course of scrapping my trip! I had so many narrow strips in the scrapheap that it was simple to put this one together. I was inspired by a Scrapbook Generation Sketch for the placement of everything. I used this fantastic title from Paper Wizard to top it all off. I wish all of my layouts came together this easy!

Prince Daddy Shirt

Today I've got another fun Disney shirt that I made recently! I used a Teal Glitter Siser HTV for the words and a Purple Glitter Siser HTV for the bow at the top. I will say I absolutely love the way the Glitter Siser sparkles! It's beautiful vinyl.

For the words "Prince" and "Daddy I used the Chocolate Box Decorative font. I LOVE the look of this font and if you zoom in on the photo you can see the delicate cut outs in the letters. It LOOKS amazing but It's not for the faint of heart when weeding out those little cut outs.

Check back again soon for more fun projects!

Minnie is my Bestie Shirt

Today I'm sharing another fun Disney shirt! This one is for a little girl and reads "Minnie is my Bestie"! I wish my camera could better capture just how glittery this shirt is!

I used Glitter Siser HTV in red and black for this shirt. It has some really amazing sparkle and washes really well too! 

I have so much fun creating shirts for Disney Vacations! I have lots more to share coming up soon!

Disney Grandma and Papa Shirts

Happily I've been busy creating some awesome new Disney shirts! Now I just need to get some better lighting to photograph shirts... or move to where its sunny in the winter! I used Siser Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl to make both of these shirts.

Grandma and Papa are going to look so cute posing with their little Princes and Princesses in front of the castle for their trip! 

Custom Disney shirts are so much fun to wear on vacation... or just when you were wishing you were there, like I'm doing now watching the snow come down!

Eeyore Mickey Mouse Ears

Hey Everyone, I'm back with a fun pair of "Mouse Ears" today! Eeyore is my all time favorite character so when I figured out how to make ears I knew I would need a pair of Eeyore Ears! They are purposely oversized because Eeyore is a big guy!

My youngest daughter was nice enough to model the ears for me! I used blue and pink fleece and a bit of black faux fur to represent his tail. These ears are so soft I just love to wear them!

American Girl Disney Shirts

For on of our trips to Disney, I decided to surprise my girls with some shirts for their American Girl dolls to coordinate with shirts I had made for them. They were so thrilled to match their dolls for our trip!

This shirt I created with a Darth Vader Mickey that I found online. I used Heat Transfer Vinyl and a heat press to put this on a blank 18" doll T-Shirt. (NOTE: I don't own any of the rights to these images and they are strictly for my own personal use, I do not sell these shirts.)

Happily I was able to use up scraps of HTV from other projects to make all of these! This one is Sadness from Inside Out. This one is a coloring book image that I uploaded and converted to cut out. My youngest was OBSESSED with Sadness so I was glad I could make something fun for her doll!

Finally, both girls got this Ariel shirt for their dolls. Both girls also have shirts to match, I'll share photos of their shirts soon! This was made with red HTV and teal glitter HTV. Both photos of the dolls in their shirts were taken by my daughters too! I may have budding photographers... they set their background up so nicely!

Thanks for taking a minute to check out my post today!

Darth Vader Mickey Ears

Hello again! As I've mentioned in the past, I'm a bit of a Disney Fanatic, so of course I had to try my had at making some Mickey Ears. I used a pair I bought in Disney World to size up my ears.And I found these awesome fabrics at Walmart of all places!

I started by covering the headband in the "Star Wars" words fabric. Then I carefully placed my pattern piece that I created so that I would get 2 Darth Vader Sugar Skulls, one in the middle of each ear. To keep things easy, I used the Star Wars Words fabric to do the back side of each ear (yes, it was nerve wracking to get those front sides lined up and cut correctly. Then you simply sew them together. And no, I don't sew well so these are NOT perfect, so that's why I know anyone can do this! Each ear is stuffed with 1/4" foam sheet and batting and then I used my hot glue gun to attach them to the headband. Then I glued a rhinestone trim around the seam of each ear. 

Finally I created the bow with more of the word fabric and used another piece of the sugar skull fabric to create the center strip. The bow is all hot glue and a zip tie, no sewing! My oldest daughter absolutely LOVES Darth Vader so she instantly claimed these as her own!

Celebrate Card

As you will see in future posts, one of my favorite things in the world is Disney. We went on our first trip in 2013 and have been back a bunch of times since. So when I needed to create a fun card that I could gift to just about anyone, I pulled out some scraps from my Disney Scrapbooking stash!

This is a basic A2 card that I created with a black card stock base. Then I layered a piece of fireworks paper from Reminisce on top. I cut out my Mickey Heads and "Celebrate" with my Cricut die-cutting machine and then layered them with a piece of Queen & Co Washi Tape on a white base. I popped up the balloons with a pop dot under each, and hand drew the balloon strings.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do!
