Disney layout

Hi, Donna here today with a Disney layout I did using products you can find at Inspiration Station!
Deb carries lots of products you can use for all your Disney layouts. I don't know about you, but when I scrap Disney, I use lots of white and black cardstock which you can buy in bulk at Inspiration Station. They carry American Craft cardstock in packs of 50, which is great because you save money and it is a good heavyweight cardstock!

For my layout I cut out 9 Mickey heads from the Silhouette Cameo on white cardstock and then hand stitched a border around it. Placing that on top of a sheet of black Cardstock and then laid it on the Patterned paper which is from Moxxie.

Then the fun part begins! I took a couple of the Queen & Co Woodie pieces and Simple Stories and Queen & Co embellishments and placed them around the layout. I just love how this turned out.

 

Here is a close-up of the title from Queen & Co, how perfect and  simple is that? If you look carefully I also took a black fine tip Sharpie and placed dots around each of the Mickey heads.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to visit Inspiration Station for all your scrapping and creative needs!

Disney Album Cover

Hi Donna here with an album cover I did for Inspiration Station. Anyone who knows me knows my two loves (after my family of course!) are scrapbooking and Disney!

I bought this album (on sale of course) by American Crafts, it is one of those kinds you have to finish yourself to put my Disney trip from 2007 in this album thinking I would do the cover....8 years later I finally put my mind to it.

I used a combination of Simple Stories Magic, Queen & Co Magic and Moxie Magical Memories papers and embellishments.  I only use 3 ring binders and since I scrap so much, I use a lot albums! I try to get them on sale or discount whenever I can and since I am not picky about the albums I get whatever I can.

First thing I did was use acrylic paint the brown fabric part with red the rest of the album in black. Looks  Disney like already!

 

I made the "Disney" title and the Mickey head shape on my Silhouette. Anyone who wants these svg files, shoot me an email at dscog@verizon.net and in the subject line put Disney SVG and I will be glad to share them with you!

 

I used ModPodge to apply everything.

Close up of the Queen and Co woodie pieces, they are so adorable. I just used some ink and the imagine sticker is from Simple Stories.

I always mark my album sides so when they are on the shelf I can identify what is in the album. I used a Simple Stories tag, a button and Queen ad Co stickers. After I was finished I applied another coat of Modpodge to help seal in the paint and to keep the paper secure, (except for the wood pieces I added them after)

Inside the album cover I made a pocket to put in all my Disney papers, maps, etc I saved because what else do you do with them? The Mickey head is another SVG I have.

I had so much fun doing this, I want to get more of these albums! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit Inspiration Station for all your Disney needs!

Here is the sketch for Rochelle

Back Porch Memories

If you never checked out the kits over at Back Porch Memories be sure to do so. I was the guest designer for the month of July and here are the layouts I created with the kits. I got four layouts out of the one kit!

Here is a layout I did for a challenge over at Back Porch memories

Adventure

I just loved this kit from Boysrulescrapbook, and one thing I really fell in love with was the corrugated cardboard. Wait until you see what I created (invented) next week using the cardboard. ok ok I'll give you a sneak peek below.
Be sure to hop on over to Laura-Lee's awesome website! This layout is based on the second sketch over there. I just LOVE the sketches.


Sneak Peek

Awesome, no score rosettes

Hi all,I lost my hard drive, and most things I was able to recover but not my sketches file, but I started again! Be sure to check it out over at my blog, For the Love of Sketches Here is the layout I made using the sketch using the awesome April kit over at Boysrulescrapbook. Seriously, you have to check out her site, not only are the kits awesome with a capital A, the sketches are terrific! I want to thank Laura-Lee for having me as a guest designer. It was so much fun!

Now as promised, here is how I made this terrific, easy no scoring involved rosettes that are featured on the layout above.


1.This is what you need
I cut my corrugated cardboard strips 4 1/2 by 3/4.



2. Glue ends


3. Make your rosette, be sure to glue a circle on the back to help hold down the cardboard. I used leftover paper for the back.


4. Wrap twine.


5. Add your circle and it's done, easy peasey (and no scoring involved)!

Practice Makes Perfect?

Over at Boysrulescrapbook they have this fabulous April Kit. Totally awesome for boys! Here I used the kit to make this layout about my son practicing the trumpet. He's not really into it, but does the trumpet because it sounded like a fun idea at first, but I am making him stick it out this year, he has to learn when he starts something you have to finish.

Anyway, here is the sketch and my take that they have over at Boysrulescrapbook.

I've been a big fan of the sketches over there since I discovered the site. If you do the layout using this awesome sketch be sure to link it up to enter for a prize!

Boys Rule!

I am so honored and thrilled to be the guest designer over at BoysruleScrapbook.com. The kits are super fantastic, but this months kit totally rocks! The paper is Simple Stories Awesome which anyone who has a boy has to have this kit. Plus you get so much, not only did I make this mini album from the kit, but I am making 3 layouts which I will share with you later this month. Please go over and check out the kits and of course the talent! She also has a monthly contest. All you have to do is link up a layout made from the sketches provided. I cannot say enough great things about this site!
I made this mini album for my son to put in his friends school pics he received. On the back which I didn't show is a spot for autographs.
