Disney Album, First 4 Layouts and a few Disney Shirts

In December of 2017, each of our children, spouses, grandchildren, and additional family members came from different states to gather for a reunion and celebration at Disney World. This is going to be a rather lengthy project. We all took a ton of photos. I considered doing digital photos, but I went traditional. I just like playing with paper.

This first, introductory page used the cutting file that I cut from vinyl and put on the back of one of my Disney T-shirts.  I actually made about 27 different t-shirts for 6 of us. Everyone else made their own or wore shirts they already had. Most decided to have matching shirts. My group was rebellious and chose different designs.



 Above is the introductory page. Below is the back of my t-shirt, made with blue glitter vinyl.



A lot of journaling went on this layout, which has been whited out, since it is being posted online. We never did manage to get a photo of our entire group all at the same time. There were some lack of communication issues. The pages shown below were taken on Christmas Eve after church. The Mickey die cut is a Cricut cutting file. I decided to mix Disney and Christmas papers and embellishments for this album, whatever seemed to fit the photos on the page.


After lunch, several of us went to Disney Springs, where we had our first experience with Disney photographers. The title was by Paper Wizard. The Naughty and Nice cutting files were adapted from Silhouette Design Store files. The Mickey on the right is a stamp that I have had for years.


 Below is a close up of my shirt. This is another Cricut design that I cut from various colors and types of vinyl and applied with my heat transfer machine. Since I made nearly everyone else's shirts before I made mine, I kept getting better at doing multi-layer heat transfer. This is not one I would recommend that a beginner try to make. It was very time consuming, and I had trouble getting the colors and types of HTV that I wanted.


We had all made matching pajama pants from material that a family member found at Hobby Lobby. Of course we had to take pajama pictures on Christmas Eve. The paper that I used for this layout was a simple diagonal plaid. Our pajamas were a similar plaid, just not diagonal, and since our PJ fabric had Mickey characters, I stamped and cut Mickeys and Mickey heads, then glued them to the page to resemble our pajama pants.  The font that I used for the title is a commercial font that I loved enough to buy. The font family is called Desire.
