Mickey Mouse and Disney Scrapbooking Ideas - Keeping It Simple

If you've recently been to Disneyland or just love Mickey, you may be searching for some great Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas. How do you add these elements to your page for a child or a family vacation without having them look as if you just slapped some stickers on a page? What are some ways to make these scrapbooking pages unique and original to you?

Start by thinking of the main subject of the page before you even think about what Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas you can incorporate. If you start with your embellishments you may find that your main subject of the page is overwhelmed or overshadowed by your accessories. It might also feel as if you just put your embellishments on your page without really thinking about how they'll add to the subject rather than the other way around. The best Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas are those that are really going to let the main subject shine on the page rather than look like a jumbled mess.

Keep this in mind when sorting through the various Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas you have as well. It's tempting to try to add everything you have to the page but this won't look organized and thought out. Choose a few select accessories and embellishments you want. You may also consider doing additional pages rather than the one or two you had planned. And think of how you can make these unique and original. For instance, use two half-circles in one corner of the page to m

mic Mickey's ears. Or draw a rollercoaster in the middle of your page and have your wording follow its curving lines. These types of Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas are simple things that you can do on your own rather than simply buying embellishments and accessories and adhering them to your page.

Of course you can get very creative with your own Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas. If you have a picture of a baby as the main element, you can draw Mickey ears over their head. You can incorporate a sticker of Mickey as if he's right in a photo with you. Or use the state of California or Florida as your background, depending on which Disney you've visited. Get creative and let your imagination guide you when making Disney-themed scrapbooking pages.
