Mickey Memory Game!

Hey crafty peeps!

Before I show my project, I just wanted to know if any of you have seen the new K & Co Smash Time Capsules??? They look like  sooooo much fun, and what a clever idea!  I think they would be fun to give to your kids to make, then save them, and give them back in 5-10 years, or when they grow up. OR when they have a child the same age  as when they made it!  I just think they are so very cool!  I think I'll give one to my oldest niece this year sometime!

Ok, on to my project!

I saw this paper at Michaels quite a while ago:

I knew right away that I wanted to make a match game out of it!
So, I cut two of each character out that matched, and I was able to get two different cards  of each character for a total of 12 matches, (or 24 cards.)

The character squares turned out to be just barely under 1 3/4" so I decided to mat  on purple cardstock cut at 2" x 2"

I used this Mickey paper for the back sides, (also found at Michaels, and also cut  down to 2" x 2"

I  then laminated them with my Xyron.

I then cut them apart, and made a simple pizza - style box to house them in!


And the final step is to PLAY!!

I like that I made two of each character, because when I play with my 2 year old niece, 12 cards is plenty! But when I play with her big sister, my 6 year old niece, we need the full 24 cards!

This was SUCH  a simple project! The entire thing maybe took me a half hour, (and that's only because I'm blind and can't see to cut very well!

I hope you like my project! Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by!
