A princess crown punch - I haven't found one. I was tempted to order the castle one from WDW - but then got creative on my own!

What I did was take clipart of a crown, scan it, then went into PhotoShop Elements and manipulated it (size, color, etc.). I saved final images and then went into Word and used the templates for business cards and various size labels so I could print multiples images (I can also do this in Elements - and print some 4X6 for journal cards!). I also printed some images as line art so I can go back with markers, chalk, whatever and hand tint the crowns.

You can also find some sites with some Disney images and logos...you can save the jpeg files and manipulate them as well. You do have to be careful of the resolution/pixels - if they're low you have to keep the image small. I was able to enlarge one AK image and print it on photo paper - now I have to go back and do some clipping with sharp scissors!

I also recently got a new printer (Epson R200) and have been experimenting with cardstock, various photo papers, and still have to try the Epson scrapbook paper. I've ended up making a lot of graphics and stuff for my WDW book(s).

I plan to make some smaller ones to attach to photo corners (I'm doing the same thing w/the Mickey head punches). Although, I was just at my local store today and they do have princess photo corners - I think they were crowns - maybe castles! I was scared to look too hard - might have been tempted to buy more! HAHA!

Sorry - I'm WAY TOO excited about my Disney scrapbooks and my trip isn't until December! Psychotic?
