Any Scrapbook tips?

[Waldheim]

I have never put together a scrapbook before but I am sure that my DD5 and DD3 would love to participate in this little project when we get back from our cruise.

Are there any scrapbookers out there willing to share some tips?

Go to the cooking, crafting and scrapping forum, there are some great people there with some excellent tips!

A tip about the cruise pics - buy the package at shutters. They will get some fantastic pics of the kids and you will love to have them in a scrapbook. I think pictures are the best souveniers anyway!!

I've done scrapbooks for my last 4 cruises.

Some tips:

* get an extra copy of the navigator from the guest service desk every day and put it away (I carry an 8 1/2 x 11 plastic case for this but an envelope will do). That way when I'm laying out my scrapbook I put these in with the pages to divide up the days.

* Save your key to the world card, dining rotation ticket, character breakfast ticket, and at least one of the luggage tags you get at the end of the cruise. These all work well in the scrapbook.

* I saw someone do this with a photo frame and it would work just as well with a scrapbook page. Cut out a frame on white paper and have the characters sign it (it worked great when they did it at the character breakfast). Or just bring white sheets for each character so you can capture their signature and work them in the pages.

* take pictures of the towel animals every night. I always do a page of nothing but the towel animals. Don't forget to try and get a shot with your steward one of the nights posing with his creation. When I did this on our last cruise he was so happy that I wanted his picture!

* some shots not to miss that I have used in scrapbooks and have seen others use as well: Your room number, the statue in the atrium, the ship at Castaway Cay, anything or place that holds special meaning to you and your family.

Good luck and happy scrapping!

Check out a fellow DIS'ers scrapbook. She has several pages from a recent cruise....

(you'll have to click on scrapbooking then on Disney Magic cruise -s.s. pooh)

Even my dh (who turns all of our vacation pics into Powerpoint slide shows set to music) thought they were awesome!!

I never thought to look for a scrapbook forum! That's why I love this Board! Thanks for the tips and I will check out that forum.

Your scrapbook is GREAT! I can only hope to get around to doing anything like that. I has thrilled I got all my pictures in a DCL album. LOL

Oh, ReadyForDisney....
I'm sorry if you thought that was MY scrapbook. No. I CANNOT take credit for that!
It belongs to another DIS'er, and I'm sorry I can't think of her screen name right now.

Besides, I've never been on a 7 night.

You can also check out Disney Layouts at Two Peas . You'll find lots of ideas there.

Her screenname is TIMON and yes - she is an awesome scrapbooker. I get many of my ideas from her books.

Should I throw the word cruise in here so we won't get bumped off this board?!

 

[Fins2TheRight]

My DW is an avid scrapbooker. She LOVES it. I should probably get her to check out the scrapbooking board, but then we'll be fighting for computer time!

I'm sure this idea is posted somewhere, but she sent two identical postcards from Castaway Cay so she could have both sides displayed. Just thought you might like to know.

I love scrabooking and just finished an album of my first cruise on DCL. I had so much fun doing it, I hope to be able to put it online like Timon did so I can share as well.

My one tip for things to do or get while you're on the cruise to scrap when you get home....is...

Buy postcards.

There is always a time when you miss a photo opportunity or the photo didn't come out that well, but with postcards, you're sure to get just the right shot, which is a great back up if something doensn't turn out or you forget something.

Then at the end if you have any left, I usually add them in as embelishments or collage page.

Have fun!

we shouldn't get kicked off this board... it's all about Cruise scrapbooking... and I am sure learning a lot about it... I can't wait to put one together.
