Disney Again

Here's my version of another fabulous layout I found. I'm enjoying some of the ones I am finding around, and sometimes it's nice to just get a couple of great layouts done with not too much thinking. I love the colors of this one and how it matched our outfits perfectly. Used up a bunch of disney papers and cut the mouse ears, camera, and flowers with my cricut. Hope you like it.

Black And White Layout

This is a Quick Quotes layout kit that I had bought a while ago, and thought that it would be perfect for these pictures. I had taken many interesting pictures on the cruise that I took with little Miss Shelby, (peeking through the porthole). I love the porthole picture I took. It looks like she's trying to get in the boat, haha. I actually took the picture of her in the Disney Kids Club on the boat. She's my mermaid. It was an open hole window with no glass from one section to another. My flash reflected off the silver porthole giving it the effect of water. The other pictures were just pictures that I took randomly on the boat. I love the saying that I had bought in Collingwood at a little dollar store. It is so perfect for this layout.

"The voyage never ends when the trip is over..."
"It is played again and again in your mind reliving the moment"
"You can never break free from the journey..."

How Blissful is that.

Another Disney Layout

Well I saw a version of this layout on a website called mousescrappers.com. Of course I didn't have the same paper or supplies, so this is my version. I used some paper from a paper pack I picked up at Michaels. It's all about travelling. I didn't have the jewelled mickey heads that are on that layout, so I cut out circles with my Cricut to make my own mickey heads. I cut out the letters with my cricut cartridge called Life's a Beach. I loved this layout because I was able to get 14 pictures on one layout. What an acomplishment. I'm hoping to get more layouts done over the next couple of weeks

Disney Cruise Front Page

Well I'm sure you recognize this page. I loved the cover that I made for the little books that I gave away on the Disney cruise that I took with my 10 year old last month. I loved it so much that I made it in a 12 x 12" layout for the front page of my album. I used striped paper that I picked up at Michaels. I cut my cruise ship out with my Cricut. I added the name of the cruise ship on it. I also cut the anchor out from the same cartridge, Life's A Beach. I cut my waves out of blue glitter paper. The letters are chipboard and foam glitter letters. A start to the album. My layouts will be posted over the next few days.

Final Organizer Pages

Our next day is just a relaxing day at Nanny's with some beaching. There's a great State park there called Honeymoon Point.


Day 13 we are hoping to go to the Lowry Zoo in Tampa. I hear it's an amazing zoo.

Another relaxing beach day and shell collecting will be happening on our last day here.


This is our travelling home day. We are hoping that when we come back that winter will be over. LOL. (At least I am, the little one loves winter). I was hoping I could convert her to the loving the heat. I do know that she is now hoping to be a Marine Biologist now. I loved matching the paper to whatever we were doing that day. The airplane page is my favorite. I love the paper I found.

My last page is just the back cover decorated for odds and ends. Hope you love the book.

More Organizer Pages

Well here's some more pages of my personalized organizer. We have another days at sea so here is this page.



Our last stop is at Disney's private island. They call this beach Castaway Cay (pronounced Key). Here we are spending time with Stingrays.


On our final disembarkment day we are heading to Orlando to the Nickelodeon Suites Hotel. Here the rooms are all decorated with Nickelodeon characters and there's a big water park with a slime bucket.
Day 9 is going to be spent in Legoland. On my honeymoon in 1990 my hubby and I stayed a night in Legoland in Denmark, so this will be great to see what our version holds.



Day 10 has us driving to Dunedin where the in-laws stay. Here we will be doing some relaxing and beaching.

Day 11 is a fabulous day for us. Shelby is going in the tank with the dolphin Winter from the movie A Dolphin's Tail. She will be learning about the dolphin and of course getting a picture of herself with Winter.

A few more pages to come.

Hand made Organizer

Well I was finding it hard to keep all my information together for this long trip as I was making arrangements for tons of fun stuff for Shelby and I to do. The solution was to make my own organizer that would do exactly what I needed it to do and be totally personalized to my trip. So I first made my cover using heavy duty chipboard from Cinch, which is the binding machine I used. I won it at our Scrapfest scrapbooking show that happens here in Ontario, Canada 2 times a year. I made all my pages the same as I whipped it off in one night. Of course I added the dates and names and embellishments the next day.


This was the beginning of the book so I'm keeping our travel documents in it, and the information for our limo to the airport.


Page one is our boarding documents for our Disney Magic Cruise. I used Mickey tabs for all the page dividers.

Day 2 is our first stop in Key West. Here we are taking a conch train to a butterfly conservatory and aquarium.


Day 3 is an at sea day. I'm not sure what fabulous things the boat will have to offer us to do, so this page is ready to be filled.


Day 4 is my birthday and we will be spending it in Grand Caymen learning about sea turtles and watching how they are farmed and released. I can't wait to hold the babies. I had a little turtle as a kid who I named Speedy. He didn't live long, so hope these little guys live longer.


Day 5 puts us in Cozumel, Mexico. Here we are going to an aquarium and we are going into a tank with dolphins. We will learn tons about them and get to feel them. Exciting.

I will include more pages over the next few days.

Gifts all done for Cruise

Well just thought I'd share with you all the final bundle of gifts that I'm bringing for our group on the Disney Magic cruise. Only 4 more sleeps to go. The albums which I've shown previously were put into freezer bags that I stamped Mickey's head on with red Stazon ink. Those are for the parents. For the kids I made the bookmarks and they'll get a mickey pen as well. There are some grandparents and older kids coming so I covered large packages of tic tacs for them. My 10 year old and myself will secretly put them in the Fish Extenders, pouches that hang on the door like mine that I showed in an earlier post the first night so everyone can use theirs. Just so excited that our trip is finally here. Stay tuned over the next few days to see the organizer that I made to organize our trip.

Disney Book Marks

Here are the bookmarks that I made for our cruise. I told you that we were part of a group that gives out handmade gifts throughout the Disney Cruise. This is the gift that I made for the kids and it will come with a mickey pencil. Just a cute little post.

Disney Fish Extender

Well I know this is my scrapbooking site, but I just had to share with you all a quilting project my amazing friend Chris made fore me. I am going on a Disney cruise with my youngest who is 10 in 16 days. We are just so excited. I showed you earlier the disney books I made for gifts for all in our group. What I didn't show you was where you put the gift. Every cabin that is participating in this hangs a strip with pouches and your names on it, on the brass decoration that is a fish that is outside every cabin door. Well I'm a good sewer, but only with a pattern and my fabulous friend Chris is an amazing sewer with no pattern. Her and her husband, who is a graphic artist designed this for me. I surprised my daughter with it on Christmas day along with the gift of the cruise. I also made for the kids disney bookmarks, but will post them tomorrow. Hope you love this quilted beauty as much as I do.

Disney Fish Extender Gift Albums

This January I am taking my 10 year old daughter on a Disney Cruise. It is a multi purpose cruise. For her it is a Christmas Present, and for me it is a way to celebrate my 50th in Grand Caymen. I have found that on the cruises they have metal fish mounted on the wall outside each cabin. What people do is sew or make these hanging pouches with all the people in the families names on them that look like the old fashioned shoe bags. You then make gifts to put in them for all the people in your group that joined. So far there are 17 families that have joined my group. I have decided to make photo albums. I used cardboard for the front and back and covered it with cardstock. I then cut out a mini cruise ship with my Cricut machine and labeled it Magic, which is the name of the boat. I then cut out an anchor and put the date of our cruise on it. Along the bottom I put Western Caribbean on with my white pen as that's where the cruise is going. I used Disney paper and plain cardstock and embellished with stickers and chipboard characters. Each page has a pocket for any memorabilia the families have from each port of call and they can put a picture on the opposite page. I tied it all together with different colored ribbon. I have made 14 of these so far, but still have another 4 minimum to make. I am also making bookmarks and giving pencils to the kids. Hope you enjoy them.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #28 - Character Counts

This week over at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge the theme is Character Counts. What that means is that you must make a project or card with a well known cartoon character on it. I just used my Tinkerbell stamp that I had purchased in Disneyland for my daughter's scrapbook. I used some Tinkerbell paper and made a little handbag with it. I also used some pearls to embellish around the flap of the purse and added a Doodle Bug flower brad for the latch. The prize this week has been donated by Your Next Stamp and is a fabulous stamp set called "Just Swimming By" isn't it darling.
So get your card or project in to the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge by midnight October 17th (EST) for a chance to win this great stamp set.
