When I get home from a vacation, the first thing I want to do is figure out a way to preserve all of the fun memories we just made. I normally scrapbook the pictures we took and end up boxing up little trinkets and souvenirs that my kids had to have.



I thought it would be fun to try to do something new. One of my friends just got back from Disneyland with their family, so I decided to try it out and make them a Disneyland Memory Box as a gift. It turned out pretty cute, so I thought I'd share it with you!

Here is what you'll need:

Pictures
Souvenirs
Tickets
Scissors
Scrapbook paper
Tape
Shadow box

I had my friend pick a few of her very favorite pictures and send them to me. I had them printed, then cut them into different sizes. I then taped the pictures to a thick piece of scrapbook paper that I then taped to the back of an 8 x 8  shadow box that I bought at a craft store. They come in all sizes and colors, so you can pick whatever you like best.



After all of the pictures were placed, I added in their tickets and a few of the pins her kids traded during their trip.



Then, to make it just a little cuter, I topped it off with some Minnie Mouse ears!



The whole project took about an hour and now my friend has a bit of décor to remind her family how much fun they had together. It’s the easiest way to make your memories last FOREVER!
