What are we condsidering Mickey and friends (the Fab 5?) or can I include Chip and Dale???

Yes you can include Chip and Dale!!! I love them too!!! But yes it's basically Mickey and Friends! But you can throw in whoever you want to!!!! They are actually all his friends right!!!!

The above is titled, Jolee's 10 dimensional stickers Cruise.

I have 7 of these. They were $0.75 each at Hobby Lobby last night. I know I will never really go on cruise so I won't really ever use them. BUT I knew that I had some DISfriends who might like them. So if you want to trade for like valued, let me know.

Send a PM to Stacy (Caitsmama) she may be interested! I am going to looksee when I get home! Since I can't see the pic at work!!!! I am doing the cruise book too!!! I may want to get 3 of them from you!!!! We shall see...

I have to stay away from the clearance section of Hobby Lobby. I bought up those and some soccer Jolee's and British Jolee's. I definitely got the raised eyebrow when my DH saw them. "Don't you have enough stickers?"

But Honey it's such a BARGAIN!!!!

Hey Maria, Maria...
It's the pesky blonde again.. our cover page can have any title right..not just our theme as the title????

Like my Epcot one.. could be World Traveler all decked out..
and Mickey and Friends could be something like.. Disney.. Meetin' My Friends
Memories.. or some other rockin' title, right????

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I'm having some major sketch inspiration and if the bags for Mickey and Friends will go together like they are on paper.. I'll be thrilled with this set too!!!

Do the poeple in my general Disney group want them to be specific to Disney visits or just general with Disney trimmings? I've got some great stickers for either eventuality, so its fine if one wants one thing and one the other

I'm checking in for June. I should be able to start working on these pretty soon. I have all my supplies.

I am also curious to hear the answer about the title question.

 

[Faerie]

I put some decoration on my title page but left it blank for the recepitent to title their own album..... should I be doing an actual title?

I'd like just general Disney please. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with it, but I know I won't be using it for trip pix.

I just noticed that AWM was doing a Pooh & Friends theme. How did I miss that?!? LOL I was thinking of something totally general...Mickey colors, Mouse ears, that kind of thing. Is that okay?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

General Mickey and Disney specific or just trimmings is okay with me.
Are you okay getting Pooh and Friends? I can change it more general Disney like Alice'n'Wonderland, Tink, Jungle Book if you prefer.

 

[piratesmate]

Pooh is fine. I just hadn't noticed it before. OTOH - If there's a way to include Alice without compromising your overall theme, DD loves Alice! I was thinking of doing something for her with this anyway, as she also loves Pooh.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I can include an Alice page for you. I'll try to make your Pooh book with them eating/picnicing and Alice should fit in better.

Don't make yourself crazy trying to do it, but that sounds awesome!!

Now - I'm afraid I'm a little confused about these books. Would someone explain what the pages supposed to look like when finished? Not the book itself since the instructions are clear there - just the pages. Are they supposed to be completely finished except for photos & journaling? Just some sort of embellishment? It might help if someone has one finished that they could take some photos & post them along with the theme.

DS(7) LOVES Pooh - I got the best pics at Crystal Palace, then he wouldn't touch characters for over a week

I can do general or specific whatever people need - as I said I've got stuff for both so if you've not got a Disney-specific trip to scrap I can sprinkle disney-stuff over the pages and cover and leave you to title as you think.

I wasn't planning on doing a title for mine as I thought people would want to personalise - would you like titles? Or a "bookplate" (aka a space ) where you can label? I'm going to spread mine between my 2 DS's and my sioster's 4 kids for them to use for vacation pics - we're all ging to the south of France (spearately!! ) and I thought it would be cute for them all to make their own memory books.

ETA Piratesmate, if I can find the Alice stickers I'm sure I have I will make sure I do an Alice pic for you : Does your DD like any other characters in particular? I think I still have some stickers left from a CM pack and having two DS's I tend to have princesses left over

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

These are pages that I am going to scraplift for my books.
For the Princess books they will be this general feel, but with rectangle tags instead of hearts.

For my Mickey books this one. I have this exact paper that I plan on using and have the sticker & tags to match.

OMG I was just going to sick a bit of bazzill down ad put a sticker in the corner Rethinking how to make an exciting page and leave space for a 6x4 photo.....

I know what you mean!! I looked at the Princess book and realized I was more confused than ever. ; By looking at that one, the pages are decorated and the photos/journaling go inside the pockets? Is it that way throughout the book or just here & there?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

For me, here and there. My plan is two different papers per page, one solid and one patterned. The pages that are on a pocket will be more decorated with my tags inside being more on the plain side (so things don't get stuck going in and out).

I did get a lot of embellishments for this swap, because I've been dying to do that and this is a great reason to. I am NOT expecting everyone to do the exact same thing. I got some great deals off ebay and got the patterned paper when Jo'Anns had their license paper at 25% off and ribbon when Hobby Lobby was clearancing out thier Disney type ones.

Here are other examples I saw:

If you like these better, I can do this style too. I haven't started yet, so I'm open to suggestions.

Ok, so we can put an embellishment on the cover but leave the cover untitled.. that is my plan now... I just don't know if we were suppose to title it... like "Mickey and Friends".. or "Epcot"... I like the idea of an lightly embellished cover with room for title...

 

[Faerie]

I was thinking that so if I wanted to use one of mine for my NYE 2 night trip, I could title it as that....
