Disneyland vinyl scrapbook

Well, I have a few more scrapbook pages to share over the next few days but I've not downloaded them from the camera yet and someone is borrowing it right now, so those will have to wait.

For some reason, I've been unable to log in to my blog all week until today. I think it has something to do with the Firefox updates but hopefully it's fixed for good now since I'm in now!
In the meantime, I was looking through older projects and I don't think I ever posted this one. I still need to print a picture small enough to replace the Mickey silhouette, but I love how the vinyl turned out on this. I used the Wall Pops from Lowe's that were on clearance last year. I used SCAL for the font.

Disney Memories

Here are the title pages for the boys' Disneyland albums. They are more or less the same, save the names and the placement of the characters. Noah was always asking if we could go to Disneyland and see Goofy, so I wanted to give Goofy a more prominent place on Noah's page. These are pocket pages to hold our memorabilia (like maps, passes, etc.) and some of the journaling. The journaling will have a more prominent place in the family scrapbook, but I decided to keep the boys' album a little simpler by keeping it about the characters only. Otherwise I would have needed until next Christmas to finish!
Anyway, each square is embossed with a cuttlebug folder (I used Swiss Dots, Divine Swirls, and Spots and Dots). and the embossing is stickled in various colors for sparkle. All of the characters are cut from the Mickey and Friends cartridge, as is the word 'Disney.' The other words are from a ttf and are cut with SCAL.

Donald Duck

Donald Duck was an elusive character this year at Disneyland. We didn't get to meet him, but we did see him in the parades. The cuts on this page were made from the Mickey and Friends cartridge. I used stickles on the fuse of the bomb. Another easy page!
Thanks for looking!

Mulan-pt 2

Here's Jonah's Mulan page. You can see Noah's version here. Mulan is from the Happily Ever After cartridge. The photo corners and the cherry blossom border along the bottom is from the Storybook cartridge. Her name is a ttf (Herculanum). I used stickles around the photo and on the cherry blossoms.

Pinocchio

Version 1:

Version 2:

I had fun making these pages. My boys really love Pinocchio--isn't he cute? I got the Pinocchio file from Creations by K8 and cut him out using SCAL. His name is from Storybook. The stars are from Joys of the Season. I used stickles on his name and between the stars. I finished the page off with some homemade photo corners and a border along the bottom using Martha Stewart's Scallop Dot punch.

Aurora

Here is my Jonah with Princess Aurora. She was the first princess he ever saw at Disneyland, and he was just tickled to meet her. The page and its elements are very similar to Noah's Sleeping Beauty page. Aurora is cut from the Happily Ever After cartridge and the photo mat is from Storybook. I used a white signo pen to put accents on the frame. The border along the bottom is Martha Stewart's Scallop Dot punch. I used stickles in the holes along the border and on Princess Aurora's crown and necklace.
Thanks for looking!

Pluto

Can't get much simpler than this! Sometimes less is more (and sometimes less just means getting pages completed, period!) Pluto, the bone, and his name are from Mickey and Friends. I finished the page off with some giant homemade photo corners--the striped paper is by Making Memories.
Thanks for looking!

Belle-pt. 2

This post is very similar to this one, but for Noah's book. He did not enjoy meeting the princesses as much as Jonah. I think he likes the idea of the Disney characters more than the actual characters themselves. He is my shy boy. :)
The elements are arranged a bit differently and I used a different Belle from Dreams Come True. The flourish in the corner is a Fancy Pants stamp, and it is embossed in clear embossing powder. Belle's name is cut using 2 different true-type fonts in SCAL. The rose is a ttf as well. The photo corners are from an .svg file from Paulo's blog. I used stickles on parts of Belle's dress, on her name, and on the rose. The border across the middle of the page is Martha Stewart's scallop dot punch.
Thanks for looking!

Buzz Lightyear

Here's another page going back to the boys' Disneyland album. Buzz Lightyear was cut on SCAL using a .svg file from Mardenz. Her work is great--very detailed, as you can see. I also used SCAL for his name but I don't remember the name of the true type font. I outlined it with a very fine point Micron pen to give it a little more definition from the background paper. The planet in the upper right corner is from Everyday Paper Dolls. I used stickles around the ring. The paper is from DCWV "All About Boys" stack.
Thanks for looking!

Dumbo

This page is a little different in that it's not of a 'live' character but of a ride. But, the .svg file I found of Dumbo on Mardenz' blog was just too cute not to make. The title was cut with SCAL using an altered ttf. I do not know the company of the red and white striped paper, but the other paper is from the DCWV All About Boys stack.
Thanks for looking!

Woody

Version 1:

Version 2:

These pages were a lot of fun! Thanks to Mardenz for the Woody .svg file. He is very detailed so I cut him out at about 7 3/4". I wouldn't recommend anything smaller. The paper behind him is from DCWV's All About Boys stack. I cut his name from SCAL using a true-type font and colored it to mimic the lettering in the patterned paper.

Thanks for looking!

Princess Ariel

Version 1:

Version 2:

Here are some more layouts for the boys' Disney albums. Jonah was thrilled to meet Ariel and have her sign her autograph for him. Ariel was cut from Dreams Come True, and I used stickles on her...what is it called? Her mermaid parts. =)
In version 1, the seaweed and fish are cut from Life's a Beach. I used stickles on the seaweed. 'The Little Mermaid' is cut from SCAL using Harrington font. It is stickled as well.
In version 2, the flower is cut from Life's a Beach. The frame and the leaf flourish next to the flower are from Graphically Speaking. 'Ariel' was cut from SCAL using Harrington font. The frame, leaf, and her name are stickled.

Thanks for looking!

McQueen

Version 1:

Version 2:

As you know, I've been working on Disneyland albums for my boys for their Christmas presents. I love the Disney Pixar parade at California Adventure--these are some pictures from that parade. McQueen is always a hit with us when he drives by. My mom was generous to lend me her Cars cartridge (not an easy one to work with due to all the teeeeeny tiny details) so I could do some of these pages. The trophy is from Graphically Speaking. I put some stickles on the trophy and on McQueen's name.

Thanks for looking!
p.s. for those wondering, no baby yet...

Goofy-pt. 2

This is the Goofy page for my other son's album. The first Goofy page was posted HERE. I used Mickey and Friends for Goofy and his name. I put stickles on the photo corners and his name.

Thanks for looking!

Minnie Mouse

This was a fun layout to do. Once it started coming together, it almost seemed to create itself. Minnie was cut from Mickey and Friends, as were the hearts and her name. I used stickles on her bow, dress, and shoes (isn't she so fashionable!), around the big heart and on her signature.

I used the Tiny Bubbles Cuttlebug embossing folder on the hearts along the side. To mimic the polka dots in Minnie's outfit, I rubbed the embossed image over my white inkpad. The border underneath the picture is Martha Stewart's Scallop Dot punch.

Another view to show detail:


I had my OB appointment yesterday. All went well and my boys were thrilled to hear the baby's heartbeat, which they decided sounded like a train coming down the tracks. Since they are both train fanatics, I think it raised their opinion of the baby inside. Baby Bird is measuring 2 weeks ahead, which is no big surprise since my other boys were not exactly what you would consider petite at their birth. :)

We spent the evening at California Adventure and Disneyland. The boys got to see the Disneyland Electrical Parade for the first time and the looks on their faces was just priceless. Scott and I got a kick out of the fact that, about 2/3 of the way through the parade of a half million lights, Noah turned to us with wild excitement in his eyes and said, "I see a light!" He's the observant one, alright. I LOVE that the parade hasn't changed since I was a small child. It's almost like watching Disney history go by--the movies represented are from the era of Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, and Pete's Dragon.

After the parade we sat for the fireworks show, which is always so fun. Noah is always afraid for the first half and then something always clicks and he morphs into a different kid for the second half of the show. He literally goes from screaming and hiding his face in our shoulders to turning around, smiling and saying "kaBOOM" with every firework.

While our friends followed the fireworks show with Fantasmic (we learned our lesson the first time we saw that show with the kids and the crowds had us pinned into viewing area so we had to stay through the entire show with 2 traumatized toddlers), we went on the kid-friendly rides in Storybookland...the carousel, the teacups, and It's A Small World. It's such a fun place to be at night with all the lights. We completely wore the kids out and they both slept in the stroller on the way back to the car (which, if you know anything about our children, is a supernatural event).

thanks for reading/looking today!

Cinderella

This page is pretty basic. I used stickles on the hearts on the background paper and on the white borders. I think I might also add them on Cinderella's name to make it more 'magical.' Cinderella is cut at 3 1/4" from the Happily Ever After cartridge.

We're heading back to Disneyland today--yeah! Our passes aren't blacked out for the summer crowds anymore! My boys are so excited that I doubt they will rest today (we leave home after naps and pick up Daddy from work on the way and stay until late). But first I have my 32 week check-up for the new baby. Big day...

Have a great day, and thanks for looking!

Mulan

Mulan was the first princess that Noah seemed to enjoy meeting. He actually walked up to her and wanted to hug her.

Mulan is cut from the Happily Ever After cartridge. Her name is a ttf (Herculanum) cut in SCAL. The frame is an .svg file from Paulo's blog. The flower border along the top is a stamp from Fancy Pants, stamped in glue and glittered with a copper glitter from Martha Stewart.

Thanks for looking!

Belle

Here's my Jonah with his favorite princess of the day, Belle, from Beauty and the Beast. He just went right up to her and gave her the biggest hug. She was such a great princess in person!

Belle is cut from Dreams Come True at 4". Her name is cut using 2 different true-type fonts in SCAL. The rose is a ttf as well. The photo corners are from an .svg file from Paulo's blog. I used stickles on parts of Belle's dress, on her name, and on the rose.

In the corner, I used a large stamp from Fancy Pants--I didn't want it to overwhelm the page, so I just stamped it in VersaMark and embossed it using clear embossing powder.

Thanks for looking!

Sleeping Beauty

Well, my weekend trip got canceled. Sad. I still could not post yesterday because we spent the whole day away as a family, trying to distract the boys from the disappointment of not getting to visit their cousins. We'll have to reschedule. On the bright side, we did a lot of fun things and took a lot of pictures that I'm sure will find their way to a scrapbook page (and thus to this blog) eventually.

Continuing with my son's 8x8 Disney character album, here's his Sleeping Beauty page. Princess Aurora is cut at 6 inches and boy do those little cuts ever seem small! For the princesses, I highly recommend a Signo white pen for the whites of the eyes and the teeth, unless you have sharp eyes, steady fingers, and lots of patience. And even then, it's easier to do with a Signo pen. :)

The scallop border is Martha Stewart's scallop dot punch. I added some stickles to the small dots in the border, as well as to Princess Aurora's crown and necklace.

Thanks for looking!

goofy

Here's another page for Jonah's Disney character scrapbook. Goofy was so wonderful to meet in person--very true to his personality!

The patterned paper is from an old DCWV stack. Goofy is cut from Mickey and Friends. The arrows are from Graphically Speaking. Goofy's name is done with 'thickers'--the 'oo' is actually an 8 turned sideways for more of a whimsical look. I added stickles to the photo corners and the arrows.

We'll be taking off for a few days starting tomorrow so I'll be back at the old blog next week with new posts. In the meantime, thanks for looking and for commenting!
