So grab your CDA hazmat suits (or just your paper trimmer), and let’s dive into this monstrously fun layout!
What You Need For Scrapbooking This SCREAM-tastic Disney - Inspired Monsters Inc. Layout🎨
🎨 Papers & Cardstock:
✔ CTMH Soda Pop Paper Pack – The color scheme of Monstropolis in paper form!
✔ CTMH Sapphire, Limeade, Wisteria, & Royal Cardstock – A perfect match for Mike & Sulley’s wild world!
✔ Basic White Cardstock – For matting and die-cut details.
🔹 SVG Files & Die-Cuts:
✔ Monsters Inc. Character SVGs – Mike, Sulley, Boo, and some “scary” good details!
✔ Cricut® for custom title & embellishments – Because when you can’t find the perfect title, you make it yourself!
✔ Stampin’ Up! “Tune In” Stamp & Die Set – Used to create a hilarious “Breaking News: Human Spotted!” TV frame! 📰👀
💡 Extra Touches:
✔ CTMH Wisteria Shimmer Brush – Because Monsters, Inc. deserves a little sparkle!
✔ Triblend Markers – To fine-tune the character details!
✔ Foam Adhesive – Because dimension makes everything pop off the page like a scream canister bursting open!
🚪 The Magic Behind the Monsters: Crafting This Double-Page Scrapbook Layout! 🏰✨
🎢 Step 1: CREATING A DOORWAY TO MONSTROPOLIS!
Monsters Inc. is ALL about doors! 🚪 I recreated the iconic door conveyor belt scene by cutting mini doors in different colors and layering them across the top of the pages. Some are tilted for movement, just like in the movie! 🎢
🔥 PRO TIP: Don’t make them too perfect! A little chaos makes it feel like Mike & Sulley are mid-adventure!
👀 STEP 2: BRINGING MIKE, SULLEY & BOO TO LIFE
Instead of dropping these adorable SVG character cutouts directly onto the page, I gave them star treatment by:
✔ Framing each character in layered cardstock circles for extra POP!
✔ Adjusting their colors with markers for depth & dimension!
💡 FUN FACT: The title of my layout? It’s lyrics from “If I Didn’t Have You”—Mike & Sulley’s bestie anthem! 🎶 I cut the letters using my Cricut® and placed them right in the center of the layout for maximum impact!
4. The SVG’s
For the adorable Monster Inc. characters, I used SVG files, printing them slightly lighter so I could use markers to adjust the colors and add depth and dimension. This technique brought the characters to life on the page. You can grab these SVG files by clicking here.
📰 STEP 3: “BREAKING NEWS! A HUMAN HAS ESCAPED!” 📰
Remember that iconic TV scene where the Monster News Network reports a “human invasion” of Monstropolis?! Yeah, I had to include that! 😆
✔ Using Stampin’ Up!’s “Tune In” Stamp & Die Set, I created a fake TV news report—complete with a vintage TV screen & headlines about a “human on the loose!”
✔ I framed it with zip strips from the Soda Pop paper pack to look like a scrolling news ticker!
How’s THAT for a Disney-inspired scrapbook twist?! 😆
📸 Step 4: PHOTO MATTING & “SCREAM-WORTHY” JOURNALING!
Since this layout holds FIVE PHOTOS, I kept things clean but fun by:
✔ Double-matting each photo (White + coordinating cardstock) for a bold, framed look.
✔ Adding a dedicated journaling space to jot down the hilarious story of how my little one LOVED this ride but refused to scream! 🤣
✨ PRO TIPS FOR CREATING A MONSTROUSLY EPIC DISNEY SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT! 🏰✨
💡 1. EMBRACE CHAOS! – Monsters, Inc. isn’t about perfectly straight lines—so don’t be afraid to tilt elements, layer haphazardly, and let your creativity go WILD!
💡 2. USE MOVIE THEMES! – Pull details from the film, like scream canisters, doors, and “BREAKING NEWS” banners!
💡 3. CREATE YOUR OWN TITLE & EMBELLISHMENTS! – Can’t find the exact pieces you want? Cricut to the rescue! Custom die cuts & SVGs make your layout truly one of a kind!
💡 4. MIX PATTERNED PAPERS WITH SOLID COLORS! – Too much pattern? Add solid cardstock to keep things grounded!
💡 5. HAVE FUN & MAKE IT YOUR OWN! – Scrapbooking Disney is all about TELLING YOUR STORY!
