Keep those magic memories alive forever by creating a scrapbook with all your family’s mementos, photos and Disney scrapbooking supplies.

It was magic. The smiles, the rides, the characters, the fun. The magic. The Disney dream.

Now you’re home, with a heart full of memories and a bag full of mementos. Why not turn those into a scrapbook and keep those magic memories alive forever?

Don’t wait. Start now. There are a wealth of resources to make your own one-of-a-kind Disney scrapbook. Gather up the “stuff” you’ve already got - ticket stubs, passes, napkins, autographs, matchbooks, guidemaps, passports, postcards and all those pictures. Get your supplies and go to it.

Don’t organize too much or wait too long. Just get your supplies, clear a space on the table, and remember, there is no wrong way to scrapbook. Scrapbooking is one of the fastest growing craft activities - one in three homes has someone involved in scrapbooking.

Next, get your basic supplies ready: Start with background paper (Disney, of course), glue, stickers, rub-ons, alphabet letters, ribbon, scissors, art pens, photo corner mounts and page kits. For the more experienced or daring, there are die-cut templates, craft punches, stencils and so much more.

The traditional scrapbook uses 8-1/2 x 11 pages with clear page protectors, like in a traditional photo album. There are thousands of themed stickers, stamps, rubber stamps and embellishments available make scrapbooking easy for even the newcomer.

Now comes the part that makes your scrapbook really say “Disney.” There’s so much Disney scrapbooking material out there - whether you want to memorialize Mickey and Minnie, Winnie the Pooh and friends, the Disney princesses and “pixies ” like Tinker Bell, the characters from Cars, Toy Story, Monsters Inc., It’s a Bug’s Life even Hannah Montana.

Sit down with all those supplies and your memories, and watch that scrapbook come together like, well, magic! When you’re finished, look around and you’ll see how many other one-of-a-kind scrapbooks are just waiting to be made - vacations, hobbies, sports, pastimes, the good-old-college days, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, friends and family (weddings, babies, birthdays, holidays, pets) - and even your family’s own heroes.

If you want that scrapbook, but just don’t seem to be able to find the time to put it together yourself, just send your material out to a company that provides “custom memories albums” and relax!
