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 Time Again!

Welcome to Day 2 of the best hop on the web for Disney Pixar projects! I'm very thankful to have been invited again! 

If you arrived here from Ellen, you're on the right path.  If not, visit Shawn to start at the beginning of today's hop.  If you had a chance to browse Day 1 projects, you saw a great variety.  If you missed Day 1, no worries.  After browsing today's line-up, just go back to Shawn's blog and you can still link to the Day 1 crafters. 

As you hop, make sure to watch for the details on the blog candy.  Marlo from ContainYa Crafts has donated a GRAND PRIZE of  a Scrap'N Easel-Ette! 

If you know me, you know I love to scrap our Disney vacations! Come back another time to check out the many Disney layouts I've posted, a lot of them for previous hops!  I hope you enjoy today's new layouts . . .   

Is it clear that this page is a recreation of Donald's beach wear? Love the bow tie!  All of my layouts are 12x12, and all cardstock is from Stampin' Up!

The waves are from Life's a Beach but all other cuts are from Mickey and Friends.

My "Full of Character" page is simply a frame made of DSP by cutting a square out of the center.  We were having fun with the many character hats for sale at World of Disney.  This makes for a quick and simple page, even with a layered and welded title (from Mickey Font). 

This paper showing Spaceship Earth is just too pretty to cover up.  I did trim it up and attach it to cardstock.  "Worlds of fun" is  covered in Glossy Accents but it's hard to see the dimension from the picture.

Another Epcot page covers a dinner at Le Cellier from the Canada pavillion.  If you haven't tried Le Cellier, we give it thumbs up!  The leaf was cut using SCAL, the journal and EPCOT boxes from Storybook, and O Canada is the Winter Woodlands font.  Red and yellow stickles galore . . .

Who doesn't totally love Mater?  He is just too cute!  All of the cuts are from the Disney Cars cart.  I feel like this page needs something in the lower right corner.  If you have a suggetion, let me know!  Can't stop with the red stickles :)

Last layout for today's hop is a one-pager with Captain Jack Sparrow!  This DSP came with the screen printed black ship, so it didn't need much.  The skull and swords is a die cut I purchased from Paper Wizard, which was fairly simple to assemble. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Next in the hop is Bobbi Jo! Here's the complete line up too.

Disney Pixar Blog Hop, Day 2

Thanks for "hopping" in.  You probably arrived from Megan's blog, if not, you should go back and start at the beginning so you're certain not to miss any great projects.  I'm so excited to be part of this hop again, and to be among these incredibly talented crafters! Thanks to Shawn and Melissa for the invite again! 

For quite a while now, I've been thinking about creating a layout illustrating the different methods of transportation on Disney property.  I had so much I wanted to include, so it got a little busy and crowded, but this is what was in my head.  Hope you like it :)  Please leave me a comment. . . I love to hear everyone's thoughts! 

Cardstock is all from Stampin' Up! Minnie, Mickey, the train, and the Mickey Ears/Heads are all from Mickey and Friends cartridge.  It's really hard to tell, but "transportation" is on dimensionals, as well as the monorail, Minnie, Mickey, the the pictures.  The boat is from Stand & Salute, the bus is from Summer Vacation, and the monorail is from Going Places.  The letters spelling "transportation" were cut using the all-time favorite Mickey Font.

 I'm usually not big on stickers, but I did use a few on the bus, the boat, and even one on the train.  I added eyelets to the bus wheels and a couple on the boat too.  

To qualify for my personal blog candy, become a follower (if you're not already), and leave a comment.  I'll draw a winner using random.org from the comments on Wednesday, Nov. 23.  Good luck :)

There is a GRAND PRIZE for this weekend's hop, donated by ContainYa Crafts!  The winner can choose between a Scrap'n Tote or a Scrap'n Easel.  Each blog in this two day hop has a special letter, and when all of the letters are put together they spell out a secret phrase. 

My letter is . . . . O 

Once you have stopped at each blog in the hop and collected the letters, email the phrase they create to bloghopcontests at gmail dot com.  All entries must be in by Midnight on Monday, November 21st.  The winner will be announced on Tuesday, November 22nd at http://craftychicsblog.blogspot.com/. 

Head over to see Bobbi Jo's project next! Below is today's entire hop line-up, just in case you get off track.  Thanks for "hopping" everyone.  Have fun!

Boyfriend/Girlfriend framed layout

My daughter has been asking for a 12x12 layout of her and her boyfriend for quite a while now, so it was time to get the job done.  They are quite the cute couple, so a cute layout was in order! 

No surprise, all cardstock and ribbon is Stampin' Up!, but the DSP is a textured (fun & fuzzy) zebra print that I picked up from HL.  My flower is made from SU punches, then I added a SU button, some SU twine, and a few SU pearls. 

"You & me" is cut from the recently released Phrases cartridge, and I added SU clear rhinestones to bling it up a bit.  The heart/X/O and the couple are both cut from Sweethearts cartridge.  If you can see "Brannah" at the bottom of the page, it's the Mickey Font, and is a combination of their names, Braden and Hannah :)  Most important about the layout -- Hannah loves it!  

As always, thanks for stopping by.  Love your comments so leave me a few!  

Fireman Birthday Frame

A few posts back, on the last Disney Pixar Blog Hop, I showed a Minnie Mouse frame layout for my niece's 2nd birthday.  This latest frame layout is for my nephew's 3rd birthday.  I've made them frame layouts for their birthdays each year, matching the party theme.  My nephew's party in May was a "fireman" theme. 

The badge and fireman were cut using Everyday Paper Dolls -- no surprise, I know.  The fire truck is from Boys Will Be Boys.  EDPD had a fire truck also, but I really like the ladder and a few extra details on the truck from the Boys cart. I added eyelets to the center of the wheels, popped up the ladder, the hose, and the wheels, as well as the badge (which came from the policeman page on EDPD).  You probably recognize the cute little fireman's face, and know he's made from Peachy Keen :)  Love her stamps!  Card stock is all SU!, except for the gold metallic used for the badge, and the black swiss dot background, which is Bazzill.  Here are a couple of close-ups too.

As always, thanks for stopping by.  You know I love to read your comments, so leave me one if you have time!

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).

Jr. High School Baseball

I can't get enough baseball when Spring hits, and am always sad when the season is over.  DS freshman baseball season started last week, so I'm really in the mood for it. Layouts below are Jr. High school baseball.  Between school ball and summer travel ball, it's never ending baseball.  Love it!

Used SU! black glitter on the "bad day" chipboard letters.  Not sure of the brand for the baseball ribbon, sorry.  All cardstock is SU, the DSP is various brands of sports paper.  The player silouettes are all from the Baseball Solutions cartridge -- they are suprisingly cool in person.
