Mine is finished. I saved all of the navigators and the map of the ship they give you at checkin, as well as some receipts, my shutters card and I purchased several postcards along the way.

The album is in chronological order, starting with arrival at the port and ending with us getting back in the car at the end of the trip.

I included our ressie confirmation information, sent postcards home from the various ports so I could include them in the book, took pix with our room steward, all the towel animals and our servers. I included the stubs from the gratuities so I would remember their names. Gave any formal portraits and character photos their own page, but double matted the images to make them stand out. Found a cute bumber sticker at the Turtle Farm that I used as a title page for that section.

Don't forget to journal!
 
I am working on my April land/sea vacation. I often visit the scrapbooking forum. They are full of helpful advice.

Disney Cruise Line now sells its own beautiful scrapbook in the gift shop onboard. It has the logo on the front and comes with Disney die cuts, stickers, and extra paper. It has 12 X 12 pages. I bought mine, and I'm loving it!

I also bought one of these earlier this month, plus the additional pages. I'm looking forward to starting this project, but I'm still finishing up my DIS book from our visit to the parks last Oct!
 
May I ask the price of the scrap book kit and at which store it was purchased? It sounds like a neat idea. Thanks!!
 
I have made several cruise scrapbooks. I take pictures of everything including some of the food we ordered. I also save all my Navigators and I use my ticket stubbs they give you to show your table #, and rotation. They also leave some stationary and postcards in your room I use all of this. I love looking at my scrapbooks as it brings back lots of memories.
 
I made TWO scrapbooks for our DCL trip 2 and a half years ago. I've posted them online on my website if you would like to take a peek Disney Magic SB

Enjoy!

The scrapbook kit was $25 something, and the extra pages kit was somewhere around $10-15. I remember the DCL scap book kit was the same price on the ship as the regular disney scrap book kit I bought at downtown Disney last year. I bought it in the main shop (can't remember the name) - the one with all the souvenirs (not the one with the more upscale items).
 
Timon--

Your scrapbooks were AWESOME! We're just getting started. The first few years at DW we had Disney notebooks. The last two formal Disney scrapbooks.

I saw the cruise scrapbook on eBay for $29.99. I guess I can wait until we get on the Wonder...

Thanks for all the great ideas and presentations!

gottaluvdis,

Thanks for the info! I'll be getting a kit on our cruise! I can not wait!!!
 
I think my favorite page from the DCL scrapbook I did for our trip was the page that I did of our stateroom.
I had some mickey paper that I cut into strips so it looked like wallpaper, and I put photos of the room w/ DH in it.
I had also taken a picture of our door and cut out the #.
I finished it off with a roomservice breakfast menu front side out.
It looks really good.:D
 
Timon - Your scrapbooks are unbelievable!!!! You are truly gifted at scrapbooking.

Timon,

I just added your scrapbooks to my favorites page.
They look awesome! Thanks for sharing them.

Wow, your scrapbooks are great! I loved that photo of your feet on the hammock, the blue sky and the water --- that just about sums it all up, right?

Thanks for sharing --

thanks for all the wonderful compliments!!! I just loved making my scrapbook. It felt like I was re-living my cruise and it was so much fun! That was only my second official scrapbook I had ever done and now that I have been doing it for a few years, I am anxious to take another Disney cruise cus I have so many more ideas that I would like to use in a DCL scrapbook!

zeke11,

No kidding!:cloud9: It IS one of my fave pics! It says everything! We had the BEST vacation ever on the cruise!
Here's a better view....

keep those ideas coming! i love them all!

and Timon-your scrapbooks are wonderful! thanx for sharing them! i enjoyed browsing through! :wave2:
 
We did our last cruise scrapbook as an ABC with each page as a different letter of the alphabet. We bought the 12x12 book from the ship with the scrap supplies from there to.
 
LOL - I'm still doing my scrapbook from my 2001 WDW/DCL vacation. I haven't "scrapped" in a while.

I bought a DCL coloring book on board (don't know if they still have them) and used the pictures as a sort of template for paper piecings that I did. I also saved DS's kids' menus that he colored and some art that he created in the kid's clubs.

One of my favorite pages is my "Life Jacket Drill" page. I took pictures of DH, DS, & my mom is life jackets (there was no way I'd let anyone take pics of ME in a life jacket). I also have a pic of the "Donning a life jacket" sign that is posted in the staterooms and another pic of our assembly station. We were at station "E" facing the hot Florida sun.

I'm looking through my DCL scrapbook right now and I'm laughing to myself because I have another page on DH's "Long Lost Brother". There was a cast member that looked like he could have been my husband's brother so we had them pose for pictures and I dressed up two paper dolls to look like them.

Take a lot of pictures and try to journal as much as you can because it really is a lot of fun to look through your albums and remember the Magic!!
