Hello my crafty friends! It’s Ali, @funadventureswithali, and I’m so excited to be sharing this magical Disney-inspired Happy Amazing Moments Layout with you today! This project combines some of my very favorite things — Disney memories, hand stitching, dimension, and of course, my favorite adhesive products that help bring everything together so easily.
Happy Amazing Moments Layout Design
What I love most about scrapbooking is to relive special moments through photos and creative storytelling. The photo with Snow White is one of my favorites from our trip to Disney World at a character dinner. The forest-inspired atmosphere with a storybook vibe was truly beautiful, cozy and magical…the meal was absolutely delicious!
Picking out the Patterns
For this layout, I used playful and whimsical patterned papers especially the red heart patterned paper which would make the perfect background for my photo with Snow White. The bold pops of red really help the photo stand out while adding so much warmth and love to the page.
Layers of the Happy Amazing Moments Layout
To create extra texture and interest, I selected four additional patterned papers and cut them into strips. Next, adhered each strip down the center using my E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. By only applying adhesive in the middle, I was able to pierce my holes and stitch each strip without my needle getting stuck in adhesive — a little trick that saves so much frustration! It also helped keep all of my papers securely in place while stitching, so nothing shifted around as I worked.
Hand stitching is one of my favorite techniques because it instantly adds texture, detail, and a handmade touch to any layout. I love how the stitched lines guide your eye across the page and add softness and movement to the design.
For a fun accent, I die-cut several stitched hearts and hearts from several coordinating patterned papers to layer them around the photo using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
Adding the Title
For the title and journaling strip, I used 3D Foam Strips to give even more lift and dimension to the layout. I added the phrase “Amazing Moments” along with some sweet sentiment word strips layered over the hearts. These little details help tell the story while adding even more visual interest to the design.
To finish everything off, I created three clusters of tiny heart sprinkles around the stitched sections of the layout. I used 3D Foam Squares Micro White to pop up those little hearts as well because I just can’t resist adding extra dimension wherever I can! Those small details may be tiny, but they truly bring the page to life and add so much charm and movement.
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share this magical project with you today. I hope this layout inspires you to document your own special memories and maybe even add a little hand stitching and dimension to your next project too!
Wishing you a truly magical day and happy crafting, friends!
