Mickey Mouse and Disney Scrapbooking Ideas: Keeping It Simple

Did you just return from a Disney World vacation?  You'll enjoy these Mickey Mouse and Disneyland scrapbooking ideas.  Don't just use pre-made Disney papers and stickers.  Find ways to make your scrapbooking page layouts more personal and unique.

When thinking about Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas, start by choosing your focal point for your scrapbooking layout.  If you start with your embellishments first, your main subject may be overshadowed by them.

You don't want it to look like you just scattered your embellishments on your page.  Choose them carefully so they accent your subject and highlight your page layout.  In most cases, less is more when it comes to page embellishments.

Enough though it's tempting to try to add all your Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking supplies to your pages, it won't look organized and well put together.  Keep this in mind as you plan out your page layout.

If you have too many Disney scrapbooking supplies, consider doing additional page layouts.  You can even make a gift album for a grandparent.  If you're short on supplies, make your own Mickey ears with two half circles in one corner of the page.  You can make a roller coaster by using curving lines in the middle of your page.

These types of Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas are simple things that you can do on your own rather than simply buying embellishments and accessories and adhering them to your page.

You also can get more creative with your Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas.  Try drawing Mickey ears onto the photo of your child.

An outline of the state of California or Florida works well as a page background.  Also, try putting a sticker of Mickey Mouse onto a photo and make it look like he is right there with you.

Making Disney-themed scrapbooking page layouts is only limited by your creativity and imagination.
