View Full Version : Here's my 9.5 foot long Disney Layout!

Just wanted to share this huge project I recently completed.
this is the wall above my scrap area. Now I can look at the pics I love while doing the hobby I love!
this was a couple of big firsts for me - first 9.5 foot layout, first time building a layout on the wall (I put the paper up first, then added everything to it.).... I added a piece of 12x12 chipboard to the back of each piece of black cardstock, so if I ever need to take them down, I can do it without ruining them. and if I dont' want them on the wall anymore, they can go right into a scrapbook.
there's not a lot of embellishments, I really wanted it to be about the pictures and the memories of the trip.
the first pic is the whole thing, then a few sections at a time, then each individual panel.
thanks for looking!

I think I saw your wall on another board, was it Cricut or 2peas?
Anyway, I love it and wish I had a room of my own to do that!! It is wonderful!

what a great idea. I have a mickey scrapbooking room but never thought to put a border like that in.
I did buy a 2007 calendar of old mickey posters that i was going to use the pictures from but getting the layouts on the wall to see every day is a good idea.
Thanks for sharing your lovely work

WOW! Totally love this idea - definately have a space I can do this at.
LOVE your photos, you really took some unique ones! I've been to WDW eleven times, and I don't recognize the one of the sign that says "Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy". Where is that? I'd love to have a photo of it.
Also - totally love Mickey, Pluto and Donald holding your name. Did you make those?
Thanks so much for sharing!

thanks everyone for your nice comments! Feel free to scraplift - it's a great way to relive your Disney memories (or whatever theme you put up) every day!
Twingle, if you PM me your email address, I can send that pic to you. If I remember correctly, that sign is at the entrance of magic Kingdom. Yep, I just looked through my pics and it is in with MK pics, so it must be from there. :)
Also, the Mickey, Pluto, and Donald with my name - DH did that. I cut out the paper templates with my Cricut, and he took them and created this with a little wood (the letters are fancy guitar wood - quilted maple) and his fancy saws. :worship: Pretty awesome, huh?

Is that the fancy Man Cricut, or just regular wood working tools?
there is a machine out there that cuts woods just like a cricut.

It's just a scroll saw. I have heard about that machine but we haven't found it yet. Do you have a website where we can see it?

My husband has done some looking and the machine that cuts wood is more like a craftrobo that he has looked at- it doesn't have cartridges you draw what you want it to cut in your program.

I told you this on the cricut board, but I just love this! I wish I had a scrap room so I could do something like this! And thanks for the info on the shapes with your name thing. I was really curious about it. :)
I've been to WDW eleven times, and I don't recognize the one of the sign that says "Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy". Where is that? I'd love to have a photo of it.
It's when you enter Magic Kingdom. Here's my pic of the sign:

I don't mind at all! I'd love to see pics when you're done :)
for tips, the only thing I can really think of is to go through and pic out your absolute favorite pics, and then weed out about half of them! :lmao: I seriously don't even think I used half of the pics I thought I was going to be able to fit on there. I even used a good variety of sizes, including quite a few wallet sized pics, in order to be able to fit more.
Other than that, I put the paper on the wall first, and then I had two pieces of black cardstock on the table in front of me. I would plan out two pages at a time, and then put the pics up on the wall exactly as I had them laid out on the table.
Good luck!

Hi Lisa,
I love your LO! We just got back from our first trip. We had a blast and now I'm thinking of all the scrapbook pages I want to complete. I saw in your LO that you have a Kilamanjaro and Turtle Talk sign. Could you tell me where you got them from? Are they stickers or something that you printed out. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I am going to do this in my MIL's room in her nursing home. She has Alzheimers, and wants pictures everywhere. So we've gotten permission from the NH to make a scarpbook wall for her with pictures of her children and grandchildren to remind her who everyone is.
