We went on our very first Disney Cruise last October.  We have been to WDW several times, but never Disneyland or a Disney Cruise.  This was a whole new experience for me.  I did miss getting up at the crack of dawn and being at the parks all day long until after the night show/parade.....but we will go again in 2013 when Fantasyland is open!

I think the highlight of the cruise for me was our day at Disney's private island Castaway Cay.  There is a character spot at Mount Rustmore which is Disney's version of Mt. Rushmore.  I thought it would be fun to re-create this into a mountain backdrop.

When I plan a 2 Page layout, I open a 12x24 mat on my Gypsy.

I put the mountain from Pop-Up Neighborhood sized to 11.50 x 7.23 and centered it.

I used the font from Mickey Font sized to 1.46.  I picked this size so that the word Rustmore would fill the page.

I opened another layer and put Mickey, Goofy, Pluto and Donald from Mickey Font on.  I included all of the layers.

Here are my heads!!  I flipped Mickey and Pluto so they face the opposite direction.

I cut out the mountain in silver cardstock and used my Brick Red and Vintage Photo to "rust up" my mountain.  I tore some extra strips of silver cardstock to add dimension.

I rusted up the character heads and then pop-dotted them onto the mountain.

I added some palm trees and leaves from Life Is A Beach.

I added a picture of the Disney Dream (from a postcard) to the ocean in the background.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you enjoy my project and tutorial.  I do have some Disney themed blog candy to share today.  You just need to leave me a comment here that has #1 your favorite kind of vacation (Disney, beach, camping, ski trip, etc) plus a favorite memory from one, #2 a way to contact you.  I will let Mr. Randy pick the winner on Tuesday the 22nd.
