Disneyland Art Challenge: Art journal from found papers

What happens when you can only use papers found inside Disneyland? I gave myself $40, two days, and one rule: everything I need to make art has to come from inside the park or my hotel. The result? 11 collages made entirely from Disney maps, napkins, and one very special Little Golden Book.

I turned a Haunted Mansion Little Golden Book into a collage journal—and honestly, this little creative project turned out better than I expected.

This wasn't planned. I was at Disneyland chaperoning my daughter's choir performance and found myself with two days to wander the parks alone. So I set myself a challenge: could I create something beautiful using only what Disneyland provides?

In this video, you'll see:
⭐️ My hunt for free papers (including a trick for getting extra packaging)
⭐️ Why Disney doesn't sell stickers anymore (the answer surprised me)
⭐️ The 70th anniversary stickers (I managed to find) that saved my collages
⭐️ How the Golden Book's existing illustrations made everything work

Whether you're a collage artist curious about working with constraints, or a Disney fan who's never thought about the park as an art supply store—this one's for you.
