Bibbiddi Bobbiddi Blog Hop! Disney Pixar Time Again!

Welcome back Disney fans! I feel so fortunate to be invited back for the fourth time to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop! Thanks, Shawn, for the opportunity to be part of such a talented team of ladies. It's always such a fun weekend looking at everyone's Disney projects.

And speaking of Disney, we cruised on Disney's newest ship, the Fantasy, over New Year's, from Dec. 29 through Jan 5. Great vacation, gorgeous ship, and incredible service -- I highly recommend the Fantasy for a family vacation!

New Year's Eve on the Fantasy was amazing!  It's a special day for my hubby and me anyhow because it's our wedding anniversary, so I chose this as the first layout to make for my newest Disney album.   The night was so much fun, Disney treated us so well, and the party and entertainment was so memorable!  I hope to scrap more Disney cruise layouts in the next few weeks, so please check back. 

 My goal was to use the tiara from the party.  I also wanted to use (part of) one of the top hats Disney provided, but I couldn't come up with a way to bring it into the layout.  I'm anxious to add the photos!  Colors are (Stampin' Up) rose red, real red and black.  I used the Martha Stewart punch to thread the ribbon down each page, and SU black grosgrain.  The words "Cruising" and "New Year" are covered in a healthy layer of Christmas Red stickles.  Cartridges:  Mickey & Friends, Mickey Font, and Martha Stewart Cake Everyday Occasions.

Disney Pixar Blog Hop -- Welcome to Day 2

If you arrived here from Jamie's blog, you're in the right place.  If you're here by chance, you should consider going back to the beginning of the Disney Pixar hop so you don't miss a single project!  I am so excited about being part of this.  This is my first, and because it's a Disney Pixar hop, coupled with this amazing group of talented crafters, it's uber cool! 

12x12 mats & markers



Today's blog candy: 

 6"x6" Stampin' Up! pad of current "in colors", (compliments of BFF and SU! demonstrator Janelle), Cricut mats (2), and a set of Cricut markers.

Become a follower of my blog if you're not already, and leave me at least one comment today about my project, and  you're eligible.  It's so fun to hear from everyone, and the encouragement is motivating!   The winner will be random draw Monday evening. 

My project consists of layouts from our Disney Cruise (on the Magic) one year ago.  Once the blog hop is over, I will add details about each layout, but no details now, only so it doesn't take too long to get through the blog hop.  Hope you enjoy the layouts and find something inspiring on your scrapping journey . . .

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 The final stop on today's hop is with Melissa - of course her project is worth the wait :)   Here's today's entire lineup if you need to re-visit someone:

Disney’s Animal Kingdom layout, Tree of Life - It's Tough to be a Bug

Last weekend was spent in Aurora, IL at a Scrap Cabana retreat.  Three days of scrapping, very little sleep, and a lot of laughs.  Bestie and me even managed to turn out some layouts we’re proud of! 
I created the “Tree of Life” from Pooh and Friends.  Took a little bit of time to “hide selected contour” on the door and window of the tree house, but it was worth it.  Monkeys are from New Arrival, and Mickey font was used for “Animal Kingdom”, and “eyes”.  On the right page, Flik and Atta were cut from Best of Pixar, as well as the leaves, one at 5” and one at 6”, and the word “bug”.  The nasty black bugs were cut from A Child's Year -- can you believe that?  (yuck).
