DAB-Mickey and Minnie

As I have said, I have to make two autograph books, one for my daughter and one for my niece.  My daughter loves pink, my niece blue, so I have made each book a little different.  It keeps me from getting bored and gives them some individuality.
So here are Mickey and Minnie:

Mickey was cut at 5.5 from M&F.  The background paper came from an EK success paper pack, cut down to 8x8.  The Mickey hand brad came from The Finished in a Flash Disney kit.  The black rectangle is sized to mat a 6x4 photo and the mickey head has a white circle for the mouse's autograph.

My niece's page still needs the white circle for the autograph. These background pages came from an 8x8 disney pack bought at Micheal's.  Both Mickey's were made with SU basic black for the outline, CM yellow for shoes, CM french vanilla for face, CM white for buttons and eyes and CM red for shorts.  All the mice-Mickey and Minnie-have pop-dotted noses.

Minnie is a little more stylish than Mickey.

Her background paper is from the Disney Mickey and Friends 8x8 papers by Hot off the Press. the speckled blue is from an old CM pack Shades of Blue.  The skirt and bow are double-layered for depth. The corners were done with a CM corner shaper, forget the name.

And of course her head has an added bow, also double layered.  I used Fit to Length to size the word Minnie becuase I was too lazy to start up Design Studio to see how long it would be at what size and I forget what size ended up working.

My daughter's Minnie is in the more traditional pink and polka dots, except I didn't have polka dot paper with tiny enough dots.  So we made our own.  The pink is SU Regal Rose and I used their whisper white ink and Itty Bitty Backgrounds to stamp dots, then sprinkled the wet ink with dazzling diamonds for a little sparkle.  The skirt and bow are doubled here for dimension, too. Her spot to sign is a heart from doodlecharms because my daughter wanted Minnie to know how much she loves her! These background papers came from the same Michael's 8x8 pack.

Here is a close up of some of the detail in Minnie's dress:
