Passing the time with projects!

[RMAMom]

We leave on Oct 30th and will be staying at ASmo in 2 rooms that will hopefully be connected! There will be 6 of us this trip DH and myself, DD 23 and her BFF, DD 15 and her BFF. We will be celebrating Abby's Sweet 16 this trip! We have 51 days to go and I have printed a ton of transfers but I haven't ironed them on yet. I will post those when I get them done.

Here is what is finished for our BFF Disney Vacation!

Abby made a count down calendar with Mickey Heads from the Depot. Everyday she pulls a head to reveal a Disney sticker underneath!

I made luggage tags. I bought the plastic holders in the office section at Walmart. I put two Mickey Heads back to back, covered the words and numbers on the paint chip with stickers and wrote the name and address on the Mickey Head.

Next it was time for Mousekeeping envelopes. I can't figure out how to make an envelope print so I googled envelope template and printed it. Next I chose the DISigns I wanted to use, centered them in the middle of the page and printed on a piece of card stock. I used the template and a glue stick and made an envelope. I left the top of the envelope open and will close it with a Disney sticker after I add the tip. Here is a picture of the back.

All of the DISigns I used for Mouskeeping came from the very talented Mrs. Heg http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1138487

The last of my completed projects came from this thread

This is the front of the three I did for DH, DD's BFF and myself.

And the back.

My oldest DD and her BFF made their own and they made their stitches to big around the Mickey head so we may do theirs again.

Abby decided that she wanted to do things her own way so she put her Mickey head off to the side and then just grabbed pieces of the shirt and put rubber bands around them. I think she got a really great result.

That's all for now, I will add more pictures as I finish more projects.
I do need to say that there isn't a creative bone in my body. All of these projects were posted by someone else originally and I just copied them. Thanks to everyone who has shared their projects, DISigns and ideas, you have added a lot of magic to our trip. ~ Mary

I love your countdown calendar and so will my kids. Did you use cardstock for the background? Did you laminate it and the Mickey heads? What did you attach the Mickey heads to the board with so that your sticker didn't get damaged? Thanks for any info. you may have!!!

The paper is a pack of scrapbook paper that I bought at AC Moore, the stickers are also from AC Moore and I used re-positionable glue dots to stick the Mickey heads over the stickers. I bought all of it when they were having a 40% off sale on all scrap booking supplies. It made for a pretty inexpensive craft project. I didn't laminate it.
