Disney Layouts - Part 6 - The Last Part of the Disney Album

Hello everyone!  My Sunday got complicated yesterday, so I wasn't able to post.  Today, I decided to finish off DISNEY WEEK and show you the rest of the layouts in the Disney Album.  So this will be a very long and PIC HEAVY post!!!  But I think it will be worth it, so keep reading! 
If this is your first time here at my blog, be sure to check out the other Disney Layouts by either reading the older posts below or click the Disney label on the right side (or you can simply click HERE and see all of the Disney layouts).  I would love to know if you've enjoyed this themed week of layouts, so be sure to comment and let me know you were here and what your favorite layout(s) was!

Let's start with this first one, which is all made with the Mickey Font cartridge (a must-have and one that I use probably most often for fonts).  I love the font, but it also has all of the basic characters and some other neat features like the tag, ticket, and license plate.  Here it is with closeups...





Here are two single page layouts, one for each ride in Magic Kingdom.  The first one includes the merry-go-round cut from the Carousel cartridge.  The title is from Baby Steps and Cuttin Up, which are glittered. 


I can't remember a lot of the details from the layout below, but the title is from Mickey Font.


I really love this layout below because I was able to take the idea in my head and create it in my gypsy.  I wanted it western and with a rope, so I found Howdy pre made on Create a Critter and the badge.  I then replicated the look to create "Partner" using Lyrical Letters cartridge.  Now the border was quite a find!  It is from Stretch Your Imagination under the Card Frame feature.  It cuts in a square, but I cut it to create the continuous border across both pages.  The characters are from a sticker sheet, which I put on card stock and then cut around and popped (of course, lol!).


I also added some lines to make the title look like rope, see here:


This layout is scrap lifted, but I don't remember from where and the file is on my stolen computer :(


This layout is also a cool one, I think.  I distressed it some with some rippled cardboard and white paint.  "Start your Engines" is from the Cars cartridge, as are the flags.  I created the title by creating irregular squares (which I doodled around) and placing the letters (from Cuttin' Up) in each one.  I made the large, red loop border by welding a ton of cursive l's!  Here is the layout with a close up of each page...





This is the last page of the album, like a hodge podge of left over pictures.  I had this great sticker sheet with a ton of banners and I wanted to use all of it, so I did as my left side border of the page.  The top corner is a felt pre made border, which I cut to create the corner effect.  


For the trip, I had created an Autograph Album for my kiddos with my Bind-It-All machine which they used throughout the trip.  I wanted to put it in the album in a way that you could flip through it to see all of the autographs.  I decided to create this on the inside of the back cover of the album.  I used this pattern paper with all of the signatures (how appropriate, huh!) and then placed the autograph album on top.  


Wow, that was a really long post!  I hope you've enjoyed DISNEY WEEK here at ScrapSticklePop.  If you've enjoyed it, please be sure to leave me a comment below and let me know what your favorite layout(s) was.  You can also post or pass along a link to my blog to your other bloggy friends who might like to see it!

I'm also entering some of these layouts in the following challenges:
Crafty Chics - Disney Pixar Link Up Party
Whimsical Wednesdays - Anything Goes
Passionately Artistic - Linking Party
You Had Me at Craft - Linking Party







Thanks for stopping by!
Be sure to stop by tomorrow as I get into the Halloween spirit!

Disney Layouts - Part 4 - with a Must See Disney Characters Page!

Hello everyone!  The end of my week got crazy, so I couldn't post these last two days, which just means I have more to share today!!!  The first layout is another one of my favorites and it took a lot of time to complete.  The Mickey & Friends cartridge is absolutely adorable, but I wouldn't even have bought it without a gypsy because there are so many layers for each character and some of the pieces are so incredibly small!  So After I designed what I wanted the layout to look like, I then started using the layers feature on the gypsy to separate all the pieces for each character by color to simplify the cutting process.  For the bottom, I welded all of the hands to create the border.  Finally, for the title, I welded the little tags and the "I heart Disney" I hand wrote and then stickled on top.  Below is the layout, followed by a close up of each page and then the layout with the pictures inside it.






Here are more layouts from my Disney Album...




This is from Animal Kingdom.  I used Create a Critter for the giraffe.





I'm linking the characters page to the "Anything Goes" challenge over at Scrapalicious USA.  

I hope you're enjoying "Disney Week" here on my blog (if you haven't seen the other layouts, keep scrolling after this post or click on "older posts" to see all the rest!) and hopefully, I've inspired one or two of you!  I'd love to hear what some of you think, so be sure to leave a comment!
Thanks for stopping by!  I have more to share tomorrow, so be sure to come back!

Nuts About U Layout

 I really love the way this layout turned out.  It started out as a fall theme and this tree idea I had was really the starting off point for my layout, but then I kept adding different elements, letting the layout take on a life of its own.  I then wanted to make it more general so it would fit more themes than just fall, so I incorporated both words and images that would allow for that.  Next Wednesday I'm teaching this Cricut Class at My Paper Tree House.  If you live in the Miami area, be sure to sign up, you can do so HERE!

More Beach & Splash Layouts

I recently became a member of My Creative Scrapbook Kit Club and the July kit was full of some really fun summer paper and embellishments.  Since we did a lot of beach and pool fun this summer, it went perfectly with so many of our pics, so I decided to bring out the kit and use it up.  This is going to be the album opening page for our vacation...




This is another layout using the same paper line, although I had done this class with this paper line way before I got my kit using lots of Cricut (how strange, I know, LOL!) including Create a Critter, George, and Life's a Beach....  The beauty is that it all coordinates!  


Here is a close up of the left page...


and the right page...


And here are some of the cuts...

Seashore Layout

I was excited to make this layout because I had sketched it out in my gypsy during our trip and it came together just how I had imagined.  I knew I wanted a collage of pics on the right page and a focal point photo on the left page.  It is using a whole bunch of cartridges and lots of embossing (I do love my cuttlebug!).  At the Fantabulous Cricut blog they are having a tropical theme challenge this week so I think this fits right in.

Here is a close up of the left page...

And here's the right page...

Lots of embossing, sanding and inking on my title..



I was excited to use my Summer Vacation solutions cartridge...

Love Birds

I found this new blog called Sketches in Thyme that had a really great sketch and I got a great idea for what to use it for - the pictures my hubby and I took during our anniversary a couple weeks ago.  Now I don't usually use sketches.  I have tons of them saved on my computer, but for some reason, everytime I start a new layout, I create one from scratch.



So here is the sketch for their Challenge #9.
I was super excited to actually find a use for a sketch so quickly!  I also remembered a ton of paper I had bought back during Valentines from BoBunny which I never really used from there Love Bandit line, so it worked perfectly for the theme and coloring of these pictures.



For my layout, I changed it up a bit, instead of a circle, I used a heart on its side (from create a critter), because it worked much better with the topic of my page.

The title is from Cherry Limeade (which I've had for a couple weeks, but wasn't sure if I was going to keep it.  Today it made its debut out of the box, LOL!).  The other embellishments are cut out from the  same paper line.
I wanted to put the occassion somewhere so I created a little heart embellishment to show its our 7th wedding anniversary.

I'm going to journal a lot for this, so I haven't decided if I'm going to tuck it behind the page (I left a space at the top between the red and scalloped papers in case I decide to do this) or create a double page layout and use the other side just for journaling.  But I can do that later - right now, the memories and pictures are preserved and I love the way it all turned out...thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to leave a comment, I love reading them!
