Character Autographs for Scrapbooking
One tradition at all Disney theme parks is getting autographs from all of the Disney characters. This can be a fabulous addition to your Disney scrapbook. One idea is to take your own pre-made album and have each character sign your book. Be sure to leave room for photos and journaling on your Disney scrapbook page layouts. Another suggestion is to have the characters autograph their pictures from a Disney picture book or postcards. You may also choose to take your own photos with the Disney characters so you have a photograph of yourself with your favorite Disney pals. When it comes to Disney scrapbooking ideas, there are numerous ways your can scrap your favorite photos and Disney memories.
Disney Scrapbook Border
Here is one Disney scrapbook layout idea. Make an easy border for your Disney scrapbook pages by using tags. Pick a theme, such as your favorite Disney character. For example, Mickey Mouse would use red, black and yellow colors. Start by cutting out your border with even strips of paper. Cut red cardstock into 2.5 inch strips and cut some yellow cardstock into 2 ¼ inch strips for a layered contrast.
Come up with some words that relate to Mickey Mouse like Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, ect., and print or stamp them on some cardstock (black or white would match this color theme). Now, create tags around your words, they can be different shapes and sizes just make sure they are small enough to fit in your border strips. Tags can be made with templates, paper punches, etc. Once you have cut out your tags, you can punch some holes in the end to add fiber or ribbon embellishments. After you insert your embellishments, you are ready to place your tags on your page border. Cover your border on all four sides with your tags in a repetitive pattern or you may choose to only do two sides. Make your tags stand out by matting some and leaving others with a single layer. Use your imagination and see what you come up with.
Scrapping With Your Favorite Disney Character
Disney themes are very popular among young children. There is an enormous selection of Disney scrapbooking items available. You can create adorable pages with a Disney scrapbooking theme for your memory books. Here are some ideas of characters for your Disney themed pages:

Disney Scrapbooks
It is essential to include your “trip to Disneyland or Disney World” in your scrapbooks. You can create a separate book with a Disney theme and make the entire book all about Disney. Most kids are avid Disney fans. Going to a Disney theme park is exciting and memorable. You want to make the most of your Disney scrapbook so plan ahead and make sure you take pictures of every character you see. If possible get the family or at least the children in the picture too.
Some people take an autograph book to the amusement park and get the autographs of the characters so they can include that in their scrapbook. There are so many scrapbooking supplies on the market with a “Disney theme” that you will have no problem completing your Disney memory book.
Some suggested sizes for your albums are 6x6 or 9x9 so it is a kid friendly size and easy to complete. Making a specific book to remember your Disneyland/Disney World adventure is a great way to have a record your memories of the events for your family to reference later.
