From inside my travel journal

Our sister trip to Florida included lots of craft time.  I pack my portable printer and we slap photos  into the books I made for us along with doodles, scraps, and other memorabilia of the day.

This is a drawing I did for Bobbie's pages, with highlights of her Disney time.  She is a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean, so I drew a Capt. Jack for her, and he is holding her cell phone with its Hocus Pocus cover to take a selfie with a giraffe (in honor of taking animal pictures from our balcony at Animal Kingdom), Timon (who has heart pupils because I teased her about flirting with the character at the park), and a flamingo wearing MIckey ears, because she loves those birds.

And here are the three of us as Sandersons stating, "We will put a spell on you if we remember what we were planning to do"

It references lots of fun moments from the week, including our names for the week, Bibbity (Sis) Bobbity (Bobbie, of course), and Boo, (me).  My face is painted witchy pink, from our night at the guncles'.

Sis is wearing her Gundren clothes, Bobbie's hair is meant to be both from Hocus Pocus and an ice cream cone shape.

We posed for mermaid shadow selfies on the beach, and I found a shell that I thought was a heart at first, then realized that it was really a tail fin.  So, I glued it to my shadow.

Here is Sissy at the Beast's restaurant.  

I used paper from Michaels and words cut from the Disney Springs map on this page.

And made a broom for this picture of us in front of the castle after watching the Hocus Pocus show.

This rug was part of the carpet in our room, I cut out Bobbie on it, and glued it over a napkin that looked like a starry sky.

(Her name is Valentine, so I thought the cut  out phrase was appropriate.)

At the Bippity Boppity Boo salon, we were frosted with fairy dust. For my book, I added glitter over the sprinkles.  

I used a trading pin, and pictures from the map for this picture of Sissy dancing at Animal Kingdom.  Then, I cut out names of the places we visited there and glued them onto the page.

For our photo in front of the stain glass window at the Beast's castle, I layered rose papers and added a charm that looks like the enchanted mirror from the story.

This animal paper from Michaels was ideal for Animal Kingdom!! It is two layers, one as a background, then I cut out the animals that got covered up and glued them over the photo too.

As much as I love vintage papers, for scrap books, it is nice to use some actual scrap book paper, because you can always find something to fit the them.  I also like using maps and brochures from places I visit.

On this Halloween crafting page, I cut out a label from a pack of supplies that says, "Halloween Crafts".  So, sometimes, it is worth it to use the trash too.

Sparkle papers and textures are great too.  I've glued shells and a vintage stir stick (found on one of our shopping days) to this one.

This one is a fave, it is a photo of our grandma, her mom and sister that I doctored up. 

 

Oh, and here are a couple pics of the cover too!
