1
Organize your Disney photos based on the layouts on which they'll appear. Place a sticky note on each stack of pictures and note the location--such as the magazine issue and page number--of the Disney-themed ideas you'd like to use on the page.
-
2
Place a piece of cardstock that will serve as the background for the scrapbook page on your work table. Use the same color as the layout idea that inspired you or choose a shade that coordinates with your photos or the Disney attraction, such as red and black for a Pirates of the Caribbean layout.

Arrange the photos on the page. Use a paper trimmer or scissors to crop the pictures to include more on the layout, if desired.
-
4
Affix the pictures "as is" to the background using photo tabs, double-stick tape or a glue stick or add a decorative photo mat to each image first. Affix each picture to a piece of coordinating cardstock or patterned paper, and then use a paper trimmer to cut around the photo to create a 1/8-inch wide mat.

5
Cut a piece of cardstock to sit below or beside the photos as a place to add your text. Use a photo-safe pen to write your memories about the Disney trip, an anecdote about the events depicted in the photos or a quote from a family member onto the cardstock.

Consult the Disney layout ideas to find an eye-catching style for a layout title to run across the top of the page. Use alphabet stickers, rubber stamps, chipboard letters or foam letters to create the title.
-
7
Embellish the layout with Disney-themed accents such as stickers, die cuts or rubber-stamped images placed decoratively around the corners or borders of the page.

Tips & Warnings
You don't have to use Disney layout ideas exactly as you see them in a magazine, for example. Mix and match elements to devise your own creation. Take the title lettering from a page about Mickey Mouse, the colors from a layout on the Disneyland holiday parade and the embellishment idea from a page featuring Princess Jasmine and apply them to your scrapbook layout about the "It's a Small World" attraction.
If you use dimensional accents on your scrapbook layouts, store your albums vertically like books on a shelf. Stacking albums horizontally will put pressure on the pages, causing the dimensional embellishments to leave dents in the facing photos and pages.
