Disney Layout - A week of fun on one page

Yesterday I tried catching up on some scrapbooking, and finished off this Disney World layout. 

I am making an entire album of the trip with lots of journaling, etc, so this is just the 2-pager that will go in our 2008 album.  I used another Snapfish Collage Print (remember those?) to get all the little thumbnail-sized pictures and then cut it all up. 

I love how the giant Mickey head turned out.  Originally the left ear was going to be black and I had an 8 x 10 photo, but the photo kept covering up too much of the background and taking over the layout.  So I ended up just making that photo one of the ears.  Then I stitched around the whole Mickey head with red thread (thanks to the new sewing machine my mom gave me at Thanksgiving).

The other focal photo (the castle reflection) was one of my favorites of the whole trip, so I used my white Sharpie paint pen to create a polka-dot border to highlight it a little more.  

Finishing touches include the title (in alpha stickers by Making Memories and Doodlebug), fireworks stickers (because who doesn't love the Disney fireworks?) and journaling strips printed on red cardstock.

Now if I can just get that Disney album finished up...my queue of projects seems to be growing and I hate starting new things without old projects completed....maybe today I'll work on that....
