Disney Toy Story layout


While we waited to meet the toy story characters there were many picture stations. My son was asleep in the stroller (right after the playhouse disney breakfast) so I got a lot of pics of just my daughter. She was quite creative with her poses which helped with the whimsy of this 2 page layout.





I decided to use the orange mosaic moments grid paper and some different ways to cut the pics other than the 2 punches I usually use. There are endless combinations. It's all based on your mind... When I ended up with blank spots I used scenery - in this case a brick wall to fill in. I love how it turned out.


I used washi tape from Queen and Company to create a background for embellishments. The circles and the chevrons seemed Disney-ish to me, LOL! The embellishments are from EK Success but bought from Escape Scrapbooking.



This is the second page of the layout with another dose of washi tape under a journaling block. My son was wheeled in the back door at the last min to take the picture. I loved the reaction of the characters to my daughter's beaded hair and my son sleeping. Imagine his surprise when I showed him the pictures. He did a double take for sure!


The professional pics blend together with the shots I took perfectly. There was only one shot that I did not get because my daughter got weary of taking pics and waiting to meet woody and buzz. But then she was as shy as could be in the pics with the characters. Go figure.... kids are not to be explained.

Playhouse Disney Layout



I thought it would be great to have breakfast with the characters my kids watched on tv - wrong! My 6 year old was in "this is baby stuff mode" and my 3 year old was scared to death of these bigger than life figures. We made the best of the situation and have funny scrapbook pages to reminisce.





I used mosaic moments grid paper to create a mosaic of the experience. It's a great way to merge many pictures into a perfect scene. When there were parts of pictures that were not flattering or were blurry I cut that part off. But you'd never notice what is missing even though there are clues. That's why I love these types of mosaic layouts. It allows you to keep what you love and weave them all together nicely.


 I decided not to cut every picture into 1" square to highlight the most special memories. I also feel it allows the eye not to get overwhelmed.


Here's the second page of the layout. I was specific about limiting the pics I was going to scrapbook and often found the grid paper could hold more pics. That's where my creativity kicked in. I used scraps of paper from the pazzles pack to fill in the gaps in the layout and I cut a Queen and Company felt adhesive border cut in half to accent each page.


EK Success makes transparent stickers for Handy Manny. These were the perfect addition to this layout. I left plenty of space to journal about how the breakfast went and all the new friends we met.



My favorite was June with her huge head bobbling on her body. What's your favorite Playhouse Disney character? Stay tuned for more Disney Mosaic Moments layouts.
