Christmas Week: Disney Reveal

Michael and I decided to take the kids to Disneyland!  We’ll take them in January while the crowds are thinner.  While they will get some gifts this year (okay, I’ve had a hard time holding back, but they aren’t getting anything huge), we are failing trying to keep things simple.  I wanted to have something to give them when we tell them we are taking them to the Happiest Place on Earth because none of them have been yet, and we are really, really excited to take them.

I rounded up some supplies, including some Disney paper I found at Michael’s Crafts.  I also downloaded the Waltograph font from Dafont.com.

I typed up a message to the kids from Mickey and got to cutting and pasting.

I am so pleased with how it turned out!

Here’s the cover:

Don’t you just love a good, layered sticker?

And here’s the inside:

This is my favorite part- the message from Mickey underneath the black.  Anna loves Minnie right now, so I had to include her, too. 🙂

I’m not sure what we’ll do with it after-the-fact other than put it in a keepsake box, but it sure is cute.  Would you like a tutorial?  I was thinking this might be something to sell or share the process of how I made it, though it really is self-explanatory.  If you’re interested in either, please leave a comment and let me know!

And so, dear readers, I leave you until after the holidays.  We are excited to see family and friends for the holidays, and this mommy needs a break from technology for a while.  I’ll be planning lots of posts for the new year, including a closet update, fun with felt, and more!

Happy Holidays to you and yours, and may you have a safe and fun New Year!  See you in 2012!
