Mickey Mouse Handmade Photo Album

Working on a project.

I have the covers finished and the inside constructed.

It is a flip album with pockets.

I plan to make some Mickey Mouse Tags for the pockets

that can have photos on them.

The flip section on the right also allows for photos.

I have used some older Disney paper

I did a little bit different from Erin.  I used a 12 x 12" paper pad and black paper.

I used one 12 x 12" for the background instead of an all over print, so i had to put it down before the pockets so it would be continuous. I only used 3 12 x 12" designer papers to make this album along with about 3-4 black 12 x 12 sheets. 

**Tip- when cutting your cover using the black paper, save the part you cut off for the inside of your album.  Mine fit perfectly.

For the cover, i had some older Disney chipboard (plain gray) and painted it with black gesso and then painted it with black sparkle paint.

I used some Mickey and Minnie chipboard embellishments.

It was a good idea to get this done because i have just been saving crafts and needed to use them.

I will make another post when i get the inside done.

Meanwhile, i hope you create an album and come and share it at the 7 Kids Crafts Facebook Group!

Here is a link to the 7 Kids Crafts Facebook Group too!

Happy Crafting!

Roar Dinosaurs!

I am working on scrapbook pages for my Twin grandbabies.

I make the pages and my daughter-in-law or son will journal.

I chose the photos with the babies wearing their "dinosaur" shirts

and then went the theme of dinosaurs.

I used a bunch of scraps.

The scraps come from We Are 3 Digital Shop.

I also used 2 Cricut dinosaurs.

The Twins First Bath Time at Home!

This month has been super busy..

We have been watching our twin grandbabies part time for 3 weeks.

They live 2.5 hrs away

I had hoped to get a lot scrapped while i visited...ha ha

I have this one done and will be working on 2 more before the end of the month.

These two photos are from the twins first baths at home.

Killian is on the left and Gwyneth is one the right.

I tried out some new paint powder (Lindy's) to try to get the scrapbook layout sketch i  used.

I created this page using the scraps i had from cutting out squares for my cards.

I have used We Are 3 Digital Paper scraps:

April Showers

Watercolor

Summer Butterflies

The title was hand cut because i didn't bring my die cutting machine with me.

Beach Hats with Killian and Gwyneth

I can't believe it has been a couple of weeks since i last posted.

I have had these 3 photos printed at least that long.

I am so excited to create with this LO sketch, it was super fun.

A bit about this page:

(My son or daughter in law will be journaled once they receive this page for their book)

My twin grandkids were born March 8, a girl and a boy!

Their mom wanted to make sure that they were protected when they went to the beach,
so she purchased some hats and long sleeve swim suits that will protect their skin.

In this layout she has taken photos of their hats.

I left room under the photos to write with a white pen.

I had no idea that babies under 6 months couldn't use sunscreen.

Of course, i didn't have that concern when i was younger with my children, 

because i seldom went to the beach with babies.

i tend to love the shade or air conditioning.

My second challenge is to use digital paper. I have a ton of 12 x12 paper, 

which i use as the background, but i thought it would be special

 if my grandkids had some paper i designed on their pages.

I hand cut the banner tails, used a fiskars border punch and created the title with my cricut.

Paper i used: 

Crate background stripe

This is an exciting page because my daughter-in-law and son just had twin babies on March 8.

This page is our granddaughter, Gwyneth and i will be doing her brother's page next.

She is a darling little baby!

Happy 10th Birthday, Sadie!

I haven't been making many pages as you can tell from my last post.

I have created Birthday Autograph pages for my grandchildren Yearly and i will share those soon!

I have also been making other scrapbook pages, but haven't uploaded them to this blog.

I will also update those here as well!

So exciting to say, that my granddaughter, Sadie turned 10 this year.

I saw this wonderful scrapbook layout and thought i would create it quickly this month.

What i didn't realize, is that my last post was for the same challenge that i created this layout for!!

Since i last share here, i have been creating digital paper and selling it on Etsy!

All of the scraps are from my digital papers!

I have left plenty of room for Sadie to journal in the upper right hand corner too!

I also used my cricut to cut out the "Happy Birthday" and the #10

My Besties Bunny Ears- Sadie from 2009-2012

I have been encouraged by my scrapbook group to continue making scrapbook pages, i have fallen far behind.  I have, however, found a way to catch up by sharing a group of photos with the same theme from different years. 

Here is my Layout using a sketch from Stick It Down...it worked perfectly for the pictures i have so far. 
The journaling will be done by my daughter.  I make the pages for my grandkids and then my daughter will journal when she has taken the pictures.

I love how this turned out:

Stick it Down- Sketch for March

It's your 3rd Birthday, Emmett

Emmett today is your actual birthday, but our family celebration is tomorrow.  So Grandma and Grandpa wanted to make your actual day special and took you to Chuck E. Cheese..one of your favorite places!  You also love the part close by, but today was too warm.

A special thing about this LO, normally there isn't anything (other than candy) that's great to re-deem with your tickets.  Today, however, i got a little clever and choose a paper puzzle.. Emmett would totally destroy this in minutes..and i would bet most kids would..it's cheap cardboard.  I looked at that puzzle differently, and chose it for this LO..don't worry, Emmett still got 3 rolls of Sweet tarts. :)  I also saved 3 tickets and we always have left over tokens.. I thought they all worked out great in a LO for embellishments.  One more thing i did, as we walked into Chuck E. Cheese and got our hand stamped..i mentioned it was Emmett's birthday and we got a free sticker with his name on it that he wore while we were there!  Cool, huh?

Emmett's 3rd Birthday Autograph page - Mario Kart

My youngest grandson, Emmett, turns 3 this year and i made his Autograph page/LO.  I have been doing this for all of my grand kids..since they were born.  Not really sure about the twins and when i started, but early for sure.  This is also the 3rd year i've made one for Emmett. 

His birthday theme is Mario Kart.  I know that his mom bought decorations online and we are going to construct a cake using the Mario Kart K'nex vehicle and some Super Mario figures. 

So i found a clip art on line and cut it out by hand and added some "OLD" scrapbook paper to frame and accent it with. I used my cricut to cut out the Happy Birthday and the #3.  My trick for the number three was to put the "shadow" 3 inside of circle and then cut the basic #3 out of red..so that way i didn't have to cut out the white because that was my background paper for my LO, and it gives me an "extra" #3 for the next page i am making. :)

I am thinking we will have a fun birthday party..

Mickey Mouse Memorabilia LO page

I have started on the Disney World Vacation 12 x 12 Album.  This page hold some of the paper Memorabilia we collected while we were there.  The cut out is from Cricut's cart Mickey and Friends.  I got the idea from Pinterest.  I did sew the first layer down to the pants around the outside to make the sides more secure.  I also sewed down the first layer of the hands at the wrists.

Becoming a Princess, Bippity Boppity Boutique

We visited Disney World for Fall break and while we were there my granddaughter visited the Bippity Boppity Boutique in Cinderella's Castle.  It was quite fun.  Her Aunt Kerri took the pictures in the Boutique.  Her dad took the pictures before and after the appt.  Our appt. was for 5:20pm but Sadie didn't get to see her "Fairy Godmother" in training until after 6pm for her appt.

Emmett Turns 2

We celebrated Emmett's birthday this year with a Thomas the train theme..as you saw in my previous post..where i made his autographed LO page.  Here are 3 more pages i made for his birthday.
The first one is his cake that his Aunt Angel made. Then we have a page where Emmett is sitting unwrapping presents..the last page has more unwrapping and one picture of his sister Sadie and their Uncle Brad watching Emmett unwrap his gifts.  I used the Cricut Christmas cartridge to make the train and the font/numbers from Elmo's Party.  The circles and ovals are Spellbinders dies.
