“Happy international Scrapbook Day, friends! It’s Wendy Sue here and I’m excited to share my layout for the day. I just love reliving happy moments and memories through scrapbooking, and creating Disney themed layouts is always fun for me!

We don’t go to Disneyland very often, but we sure make lots of fun memories when we do!  The last time we took our kiddos was a few years ago (and yes, we are all itching to return), and I was trying to be “in the moment” more, so I didn’t take a ton of photos…but that’s okay!  I’ll be creating more layouts with lots of journaling so we can remember all the fun/silly moments from this trip.

I decided to put three of my favorite group photos of the kiddos on a single layout, and of course, the “Say Cheese 4” collection by Simple Stories was the perfect choice for my page!

I love the themed color scheme and sweet graphics. The balloons, flags, and hearts were my favorite embellishments, so I made sure to sprinkle them throughout!

I often use foam adhesive squares behind stickers or chipboard to add just a little bit of extra dimension as well.

I found some number stickers in my stash that matched the off-white color in this collection, so I used them to add the year to the corner – I love mixing old products with new!

So now I challenge YOU to create a layout featuring one of your happiest Disney memories, whether it was 4 hours ago, or 4 years ago! Choose products that make you smile.  Relive your memories and let the happiness flow through you onto your page! ♥”
