Monthly Scrapbook Layout Challenge - 2008

[BelleKP]

Coolness!

I've been working on the title page to the album and I think I should win some kind of award for most photos on a page. At last count is was 62 photos.

WOW!! My last record was 22 . . . and I thought that was good! Hope you will post it when you are done MickeyChick!!

Well here it is . . . my character pages for February! I just finished my Winnie/Eeyore/Tigger page too, so I posted that one too!
Enjoy!

BelleKP- your pages are great! Did those pages have the princesses already on them? (Like the squares with chip on the Belle page)

[MickeyChick]

I miscounted. It's 59 photos.

Here it is.

Sarah, your pages are great!!! Did you use your Silhouette for all the fonts? I love the different fonts for the princesses and characters!!

Yes the pages already had the characters on them. The pages I got in a paper pack at Michaels . . . usually I used pattern paper and then Jolee's stickers . . . but let me tell you, this printed paper has saved me a lot of $$

I did use my silhouette!! Pretty cool eh? I love the Disney font for my title page and then I just tried to use a bunch of different cursive fonts for the Princess 'signatures'! I'm loving that machine!!
Thanks for the compliments ladies! I still have Chip n' Dale, the Fab Five and Monster's Inc. duo to scrapbook . . . I'm hoping to get those done this week . . .

[BronxTigger]

BelleKP- What size pages are you using?

I don't go to Michaels often; it's a bit of a trek for me to get there. I'm hoping to go sometime in the next month or so.

[BronxTigger]

MickeyChick- that is incredible! I don't think I'd have the patience for something that detailed. That's a cool page. Thanks for sharing.

That's fantastic! Amazing! I'm curious, did you use thumbnail prints? Or print them off yourself that small? I'd love to use a similar idea!!

[MickeyChick]

I had eight sheets of thumbnails and I wanted to fill in the color blocks on the paper that I had, but none of the shots seemed to represent the whole trip- so I picked my favorites out on the thumbnail sheets, cut them out and used those little adhesive squares to stick em on.

MickeyChick and Sarah - those are awesome!!!

MC - I love the idea of using so many small photos!

Sarah - just wondering, where are you from in ON??? I am in Bowmanville.

I scanned a couple of mine this morning, I just need to upload them to webshots, and I still have a Buzz Lightyear LO I want to finish.

I was at a 12-hour crop at my LSS today but was doing demos for the store and did not get a chance to work on any of my stuff.

[BelleKP]

Sarah - just wondering, where are you from in ON??? I am in Bowmanville.

I'm in the north/east end of Burlington, very close to where Carol will be in Milton!!
And a mere, what, hour and a half from Bowmanville!

That is really cool, MickeyChick!!! Now you just gave me some ideas!!!

Oh, Sarah...can we have scrapbooking days? If you ever want to meet...I'm the manager of the Milton Fabricland. You usually can find me there..except I'm going to scare until after the move. My walk though is Tuesday, my closing the 3rd, the 7th is everything we bought new is being moved in and from the 12th-Good friday I'm off for the actual move. Do you want to help set up a scrapbooking studio?

[BelleKP]

I have a question for you scrappers?
When you are scrapbooking a Disney vacation how do you layout your album?
1) chronological . . . day one, day two . . .
2) by theme . . . rides, dining, characters . . .
3) by park
4) another way?

I'm trying to decide how to lay out my current trip? My original thought was by park, but we went to MK on three different days and where do I put the characer pictures . . . so then I thought maybe by theme, but then I've got random pics that don't 'fit' into a theme . . . so then I was going to go back to chronological, but I don't know if I want 3 different MK sections . . .
Currrently I'm just working on loose pages so I can rearrange them when I'm done, but once my character pages are done, I don't know what to do next!
Any ideas? Suggestions . . . what do you do?

Good question!!! My first trip was by day, since it was only 4 days and one with pictures of the resort. I'm not sure how I'm doing the last trip, maybe by theme, since I took lots of pictures of the Christmas decorations and the parades. I might also do parks, I'm really not sure!! I guess it depends on my mood!!!

[MickeyChick]

Our trip was 8 days and over 1700 photos. I'm doing it chronologically but not day 1, day 2, etc.

I've only done 4 layouts so far but I did our tour around Pop when we first arrived, Small World and something else I can't remember.

I plan a layout for rides I took photos of, like Small World, Jungle Cruise; restaurants and meals; parades; cute moments with the kids; icons; characters etc.

[Flower]

I guess mine would be more by theme. I don't sit down and do an entire album, I tend to scrap when I get a chance (usually never these days!) Anyway, I just add the completed pages to my book when they are done.

Here are all of the LO's I completed for my Disney book!

Now to start on March's challenge & The bonus Challenge!!

Chef Mickeys - Mickey and the gang

Lea Ann your pages are great! I would love a play by play on how you did your Chef Mickey 'Title' page. I would love to use a similar idea. Did you cut out the circle? Are the letters stickers or cut outs? It's hard to tell on the computer screen.
Great job!

[Ariel_Fan]

WOW! Everyone's pages are awesome. I have so many ideas to steal from. As for the earlier questio, I tend to do my pages in chronological order. Easier for me to think that way I guess.

[Caroleh]

Lea Ann, I love your pages!!! I think I'm going to start moving the scrapbooking stuff to the house, starting tomorrow. I slowly going to take a few things with me everyday until we're actually moved in. I don't want the movers to touch the actual scrapbooking stuff and sewing machines.
