Vintage Mickey & Pluto Posters Now on Disney Rewards

Ok Disney DIY lovers! This is awesome! If you are not a Disney Movie Rewards member, you really need to sign up. I'm sure many of you, like us, have a large Disney movie collection. You may have noticed that in every Disney movie case, there is a little paper flyer that has a rewards code. We redeem all those codes at the Disney Movie Rewards site. Each movie gives you about 100-200 points! Even if you do this once, you can find all sorts of great rewards for your family and DIY needs.

There are so many great digital rewards for little to no points on this DMR site; I was able to download all these vintage prints from the DMR website yesterday for only 10 points. If you love DIY, you know that the possibilities with these images are endless! And if you need a little inspiration, check out these tote bags that I made for a trip a couple years ago:

And these notebooks from some Frozen themed posters (also downloaded from the DMR website):

Head over to the DMR site and see what you can find. And if you make something with those images, I would LOVE to see it! Tag me on Instagram, or leave a comment here. And until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

DIY Disney's Frozen Arendelle Notebooks

Here is another great use for the Frozen Travel Posters available at the Disney Movie Rewards site. (I swear, I'm not getting paid to promote them; I just love that they have all this stuff available for free!)

While we do have a younger set of kids traveling with us to Disney this fall, we also have an older set. This means that the coloring pages and activity sheets just aren't going to cut it for them. They needed something a little more grown up. And I really like how these are not gender specific. I think these could easily go to a boy or a girl.

I decided to make notepads for them from some of the old paper we have lying about. (Do you have all sorts of unused school supplies that come home too?!) I put in regular lined paper, but I also included some graph paper and some 3-D drawing paper too. I made sure to cut it down to about 1/4" smaller than the covers. I printed the covers out on card stock as a booklet in Adobe Reader. If you are looking for a source for the heavy book boards for the covers, check with a local photographer. Sometimes they have it for free! You can also search for "book board" on Etsy or Ebay for suppliers. And of course, you could recycle some from existing composition books and notebooks around the house!

I loved to doodle and journal as a kid (well, as an adult too!), so I'm hoping these will be just the thing for the older kids in our travel party. And of course, they could be used as autograph books too should the need arise!

Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

DIY Disney's Frozen Take-Out Sacks

I recently posted about the Disney Movie Reward site where you can download all manner of cool Disney printables. In that selection of things there is a PDF bundle of Frozen Travel Posters (they also have a bundle of Planes travel posters!). I LOVE this sort of thing and knew I needed to find a way (or several ways) to use these gorgeous graphics. As I was looking at this poster for the Arendelle Chocolatier, I realized it would look great printed on my take-out sacks!

If you missed the earlier back-to-school posts (can you believe it's almost time for that again?), we have printable designs for Gousteau's, and Tiana's Place. These chocolatier bags will fit right in! I also think they would make a great presentation for some lovely chocolates (and maybe some wine!) for a Disney fan. And if you are throwing a Frozen party in the near future (perhaps to bring back summer?), these would be great as goodie bags!

In order to print these on white kraft bags (mine are 6x11"), I had to turn the image upside down. Once you have downloaded your PDF files, open them in Acrobat reader. Once you have it open, select "view" and then "rotate view" until your image is upside down. Load the bags in the printer, centered, and right side up with flap facing back. I printed "current page" at 50%. I love the way these came out. So simple and budget friendly! Just a reminder that if you are printing for the first time, I would recommend doing a test run on paper before loading your sacks to see if the layout is the way you want it.

Have fun with this idea! Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

DIY Disney Coloring and Activity Book | Tinkerbell Treasures

Did you know that there are all sorts of Disney printables and activity sheets available at Disney Movie Rewards? And they are completely free! If you have a kid who likes to color, play games, or get creative (and really, who doesn't?), then you need to head on over there and sign up for an account. To find them, you need to look under the "Get Rewards" tab for rewards that are zero points. This is one of those things that never would have occurred to me if I didn't already have an account with them. We are part of the Disney Movie Club. Whenever you get a new Disney movie (and not just from the club) there is a code inside that earns you reward points. You can use it towards all sorts of things, not the least of which is other movies! But these awesome printable activities are free. No money or points needed. Simply click on them and download!

I was made up this cute, personalized coloring and activity book for one of the girls in our upcoming trip. This one is designed to keep us busy on the plane; it's full of mazes, dot-to-dots, coloring pages and matching games. ALL of the interior pages are from the Disney Rewards website. I even included a few blank pages for autographs or her own personal drawings. (I found the pen in the dollar bins at JoAnn's several months ago.)

I created this cover on my Silhouette. If you'd like to download it, you can find the silhouette file (compatible only with silhouette software) in my copy folder. I used glitter card stock for the background and the Mickey icon, and regular card stock for the rest. I incorporated this airplane shape with my own Mickey icon. I used the font Mickey's Merry Christmas for the title, and Pacifio for the personalization. To make sure this would stand up to several days of rough and tumble travel, I "laminated" the cover with clear packing tape. I simply laid it over the top in strips, overlapping it by about 1/4". And of course, I used my Zutter machine to bind it with a 1/2" spiral binding, but you could always bind it with three simple rings.

I hope you enjoy downloading free Disney printables from a new resource, and until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!
