If you've recently been to Disneyland or just love Mickey, you may be searching for some great Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas. How do you add these elements to your page for a child or a family vacation without having them look as if you just slapped some stickers on a page? What are some ways to make these scrapbooking pages unique and original to you?

Don't start with your embellishments when you're thinking about Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas. Begin by choosing the focal point of your page layout. Your embellishments should only highlight your main subject, not overwhelm it.

It might also feel as if you just put your embellishments on your page without really thinking about how they'll add to the subject rather than the other way around. The best Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas are those that are really going to let the main subject shine on the page rather than look like a jumbled mess.

The best Mickey Mouse and Disney pages are well-thought out and organized. Resist the urge to put too many Disney-themed accents on your page, and leave plenty of white space.

Choose a few select accessories and embellishments to use. You may also consider doing additional pages rather than the one or two you had planned. And think of how you can make these unique and original. For instance, use two half-circles in one corner of the page to mimic Mickey's ears. Or draw a roller coaster in the middle of your page and have your wording follow its curving lines.

Making your own pre-made Disney scrapbooking embellishments is easy. Consider your cost savings before you buy too many pre-made embellishments and accents.

Of course you can get very creative with your own Mickey Mouse and Disney scrapbooking ideas. If you have a picture of a baby as the main element, you can draw Mickey ears over their head.

You can place a sticker of Mickey Mouse right into a photo and make it look like he is right there with you. Take an outline or large sticker of the state of Florida or California and use it as your page background.

Get creative and let your imagination guide you when making Disney-themed scrapbooking pages.
