I am a total Disney and scrapbook fanatic which made this the perfect purchase for me. This book exhibits many pages of very cute layout ideas and craft projects. There are also quite a few Disney themed papers in different sizes to help you get started on your next layout. There are basic tips for completing any size layout you desire. The "how-to" pages also show you how to create and size your own embellishments for your pages, not just basic layout samples. I found this book to be an excellent buy whether you are a beginner or an accomplished scrapbooker. I give it four stars.
A good basic guide to those new to scrapbooking

I'm still rather new to scrapping, IMO only an extended family (11 people) Disney trip could possibly be a scrapping event. This bok is mainly about creating Disney themed pages and are not specifically geared at a Disney trip, but with a little imagination and modification, you can adapt almost everything in it. I'm trying to get better at my layouts that have my pages really pop at you. I believe those type of pages come from practice, but also some basic skills lessons help. I found this book to have some basic info on paper piecing that I was unaware of. It also has some how to's that a beginner may not have figured out yet. This book also contains 6 Paper Pizazz papers that are exclusive to this book. They include Bouncing Tigger, Pooh faces, fall leaves Piglet, Pooh's favorite things, Mickey silhouette on red and blue Mickey tiles. It explains how to take a layout of one design (Pooh) and use another theme (Mickey). It has examples of the pages done both ways. I need some basic help and hints that are given in these pages. I also have another Disney layout book that I like, but for a beginner, I found this book very helpful. It even shows you how to design a 8X11 page and turn it into a 12X12. It gets only 4 1/2 stars because most of the paper is Pooh themes and Disney movie themes, not much Mickey. I think it is probably more for every day pages rather than a Disney trip, though I have used some of the cut outs and paper piecing patterns. If you are looking for ideas, I like the "Big Idea Book of Disney Memories" by Creating Keepsakes (oop).
