Journaling says: We've been taking Fox to Disneyland pretty frequently since he was only eight weeks old. (Teach ‘em while they’re young, right?) He seems to really love it! Especially rides with lots of colors, lights, and music like It's a Small World. We know he won't remember ever going, but hopefully he'll see the pictures and layouts and recall the magic of Disneyland.Tips and tricks: So this layout took like four hours to make, no joke. Lots of trial and error! First I created a star in Adobe Illustrator and connected all the points to the center, printed it out, cut out each section, traced the sections onto patterned papers, cut the papers out, then sewed them onto a kraft cardstock background using green thread. Up until now I've only ever used white, cream, brown, or black thread, but I branched out and got a rainbow of colors that I'm excited to use! And let's back up a bit, before I sewed anything down I punched clusters of stars all across the background then adhered some of the stars that were punched out with foam dots and sprinkled in some jewels. Theeen, I dipped a piece of brown/white baker's twine in Mod Podge, wiped off the excess, and pressed it down around the star to make a border. I wrote the journaling around the baker's twine so it becomes part of the design. Next I sewed on some mini pictures around the edges, added a focal point picture popped up with foam squares to the center of the star, then made my title from Thickers. Piece of cake, haha.
