This is the first album that I ever made. Lots of mistakes, but I learned a lot and with each hour of work, got more excited for our vacay.
For the cover, I replicated the way that the name of the ship is represented on the stern and used Sparkle Mod Podge to give it a little "pixie dust." The spine is embossed and also given a coat of Mod Podge (non sparkle!)
I needed somewhere to save our room keys after the cruise, so I used a double pocket for the inside front cover.
I wanted tags that could be given to the characters who will be on the ship. There are 32 tags in all, including some for the captain, our housekeeper, chef at Remy and our wait staff. There are 9 full pages. I haven't shown you all of them, but you'll gest the gist of what I've been playing with here. 'Course, I had to start with M&M Mouse!. The tags open for the character to sign. I still need to attach the pictures to the front of the tags and to black out each cut out Mickey shape on the tag.
Each page has a pocket and pages open up to a double photo page. Size will be just about right for 2 4x6 pictures.
I had fun designing something special for the Princesses. I am looking to put a little something representational into each tag. I also wanted to dress up the pages with their castles, and tried to emulate the ballrooms in Beauty and the Beast and Princess and the Frog. I used a glittery Koi fish and some bling for Mulan and Ariel.
Princesses are nice, but I really like the Pirate Pages and tags. I used some googly eyes for Hook's nemesis, and made a little clock which I placed on a Wobble. On the other page, you can't see it, but there is a pirate ship behind Smee and Jack Sparrow.
Here's Agrabah for Aladdin and Jasmine, and I thought that a Mickey hot air balloon would provide suitable transportation for Mary Poppins and the Genie.
I made a waterfall mini album for the back cover, so that I could get another 7 pages of photos into the album. There is now room for 24 large photos and some journalling space.
And finally, my favorite part of the album! I downloaded a picture of the Fantasy's stern, with her 3D Dumbo and Timothy. I layered various parts of Dumbo (3 times) so that he would be 3D as well. Used Mod Podge to make sure that he stays nice and strong, even that can of paint and the little paintbrush that Timothy Mouse is holding.
Like I said, this is my first album and I learned a LOT. Certainly not pro quality, but with each hour of work, I am feeling even more excited about our upcoming vacay! None of this would be possible without my FABULOUS MTC and my little Silhouette SD. If you're still reading and looking, thanks for hanging in there!
