HOW FUN RIGHT?!!!

When I saw the circles - I remembered a had some "White Simple Circles" by Jillybean Soup left from a diecut sheet I had previously used, and after searching through (piles of) photos to scrap - I pick this one, of "my guys" on our Disney Fantasy Cruise from January 2014.   I then knew I wanted to use this really cool base paper from Reminisce, and a brand new piece of 12x12 from Scrap Your Trip - "Magic Cruise"  Then, realizing that the base paper I selected was a little thin, and would need some re-enforcement, I trimmed it a bit, and glued it to a piece 

of "White Corrugated Sheet" by Fancy Pants Design.

 

I painted the anchor, and went around the edges with a Black Sharpie marker.

I decided to make a pocket out of the photo and mat.  I used 2 sided foam tape along the sides and the bottom, leaving the top open.  This allowed me to journal on a tag I cut out using a Tim Holtz die, and slip it in the pocket.  I wrote a little about out trip on it - and embellished it with paper, and a little life preserver Mickey head that I fussy cut out, and added with a pop dot to the tag.

I used a circle punch to cut out the cute little Mickey heads and DCL Logos from the Scrap Your Trip paper. I inked their edges, and then added them to the inside of the circle grid, using foam dots.

 

After cutting all the "flags" for the banner - I realized that the Red Polka Dot letters that I wanted to use, would not work on all of the banners/flags in my "DISNEY" Title - so I used black letters on the flags that were red.  I also forgot to ink the flags/banners, before punching holes in their tops, stringing them with the bakers twine, and then adding them to my layout with foam 3D dots.   To "fix" this, I carefully went around the edges with a fine tip black Sharpie marker.
