More Disney pages

[Keitha]

Great idea Monica, to put the Thickers over his name; I'd never have thought of that.
For once I'm glad I'm not a purger. I just checked my folder called "Amusements Parks and Disney" and see I still have some papers from that paper pack from our trip in 2004. I recall getting rid of some of it; the spiral-bound pad of paper came with 4 sheets of each pattern in different colourways, but knowing they don't make anything like that anymore I'll probably continue to hoard the rest.

I'm slowly working my way through using those papers myself, Keitha. It was a large spiral-bound pack, and I kind of wish I'd grabbed a second one before they disappeared. I still have a few papers that I haven't used yet that are park specific to California Adventure, but my sister is sending me more of her Disney pictures to scrap so I may find what I need there.

[Monica]

This is the first of many pages to come that are actually my sister's photos from Disneyland over the years. She hasn't had time to scrap much the last several years, so I told her to send me the Disney stuff and I'd scrap it for her. Should have known better... I got a medium flat rate box filled with sorted photos!

This page is all Blue Fern Studios product. I used sku strips and punched out Mickey heads for embellishment. And a bit bittersweet with pictures of my Gramma there.

Oh thank goodness they were sorted, though!
It's a labor of love, right?

Yes, it is. And fun to see the nieces and nephew when they were little. That teenager to the right of the photos will be 24 in July!

Almost done with the album! Two more pages of photos taken by a Disney photographer with the Matterhorn in the background. I used Crea Diem papers from Maja Designs for the base, CS pops for mattes, and chipboard from Blue Fern Studios.

And these two pages are churros-themed, and posted under challenges as well. Old Hot Off The Press papers, and a churros cut file that I embossed for embellishment.

More fun pages Monica. Your wood veneers fit this month's neglected stash pick as well.

Last layouts for this album/trip!! I do have one pocket page to do for memorabilia, but that's it and I call this one done! The pp and strips I think were from a CM kit, the black cardstock from my stash, and the title is Thickers.

The Blue Bayou restaurant is very dark, hence the terrible photos of Mom and I. I used the flash for the food, because I wanted good pictures.

[Monica]

And my very last page for the album, to hold memorabilia. I cut apart a shopping bag from that visit and used it to make the pocket by taping it to a piece of cardstock. Not super fancy, but it finishes the album and I am officially DONE WITH IT! Woo hoo!!

ETA: It's 42 pages total. I counted last night.

You have a wonderful memory with that album

[Keitha]

Great job Monica, give yourself a big Atta Girl for getting that album finished! I know you'll enjoy looking at it for years to come. Love how you made your memorabilia pocket out of a shopping bag, especially as it's got such great graphics on it. Something I typically do for trip memorabilia is get one of those 8.5x11 clear zippered pockets they make to go in binders, decorate the front of it with bling and other stuff and add it in the back of my album. If the memorabilia isn't with the album it may not ever be found again never mind looked at, and it's a great resource for additional information about a place that you've included but didn't journal extensively about.

[Monica]

When we travel I always take a gallon size baggie for all my memorabilia. I like your idea, Keitha, of using a zippered pocket... might try that next time!

What a fabulous trip, Monica. I've enjoyed visiting Disney with you.
