Bear In The Big Blue House Scrapbook Page

Another Disney World trip page, I am warning you that I will have several posts on this trip.  I really enjoyed creating this page for our pictures from the Bear In The Big Blue House show.  I wanted to create something that resembled the Big Blue House.  To create the look of siding I ran some blue paper through the crinkle tool (I really don't remember what the tool is called).  I just used white paper with a small heart punch to make the shutters and a black pin to draw the lines.  The porch roof is just made from scraps of red and orange papers,  I cut a red strip of paper with slits, the just glued some orange pieces over a few red "slates".

The porch railings are just white strips of paper that I used pop dots to "pop up" and give the page dimension.  I hand drew the door and all of the black lines to match the look of the actual door.  I also had to add a way to "open" the page, so I added small tabs and used stickers to add the word "PULL", so people could figure out how to see the pictures on the page.

Here I am grabbing the PULL tabs to demonstrate how the page opens.

Here is the page opened.  I put the pictures in the "rooms" of a diagram of a house.  On the left side of the page is a smaller diagram which matches the layout of the picture page and I have put my journaling in each "room".

This was such a fun "page" to do!  I really like interactive scrapbook pages.

  1. That is toooooo cute!!!!!. The page turned out very well. I can tell you put a lot of time into planning the page. I, like you, don't like to see pages put together in five minutes with stickers and pre-cut shapes. The extra effort you gave shows through!
