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.

Love Is In The Air layout - right side added

Finally got the other side of this layout completed, and I'm really happy with how it came together.  Normally I have ideas in my head for both pages of a layout, but when I did the left side for the Scrappy Saturday challenge a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what I was going to do with the other side.  So I procrastinated, but finally finished it off!

All cardstock is SU (Old Olive, Pink Pirouette, and Real Red). 

Cricut carts used:  Mickey and Friends, Summer Vacation, Mickey Font

This layout is my entry for this week's Scrappy Saturday's with the Bug Challenge.  It's Melissa and Amanda's second challenge, "Something Lovey". 

I'm currently working on Disney layouts from our January trip, and this picture of Minnie Mouse kissing our 15 year old DS seemed so fitting.  We were at the Beach Club Resort, at the Cape May Character Breakfast, which is one of our favorites. I used Design Studio and Hello Kitty Font cartridge to create the (Old Olive cardstock) page with the "xoxo" border on 2 sides.  The file I created has the "xoxo" around all of the edges, but when I went to use it for this layout, I decided to trim 2 sides off so more of the cute frogs would show from the background paper.

Frog DSP is K & Company.  Ribbon is SU also, then I added some rhinestones, a few pearls (for the dots on the I's), white gel pen, Stardust Gelly Roll pen, and lots of dazzling diamond stickles. How can you not love Dazzling Diamonds???  I'm a firm believer in dimensionals too, so the heart and matted photo are raised. 

Cricut carts used:  New Arrival, Alphalicious, Sweethearts, Hello Kitty Font, Don Juan

Hollywood Studios RockNRoller Coaster is the best ride ever!

Our family LOVES the RockNRoller Coaster at DHS.  Hollywood Studios is my favorite park, and this is my favorite ride from all 4 parks!  It's very difficult to get pictures from the ride, which those of you who have been on it most likely understand.  So, pictures before and after are what's here for the layout. 

The gift shop following the ride has the greatest Aerosmith wigs, hats, etc.  Our daughter can't help but try on the Aerosmith hair every time! 

All cardstock is Stampin Up.  The metallic paper (red and black) is WeRMemoryKeepers, I think.  Cricut cartridges used are Rock Princess and Hannah Montana.

WDW Magic Kingdom's Crystal Palace Character Dinner

Pooh and Friends Character Dinner at the Crystal Palace is a family favorite.  Pooh and Tigger are very simple to create, compared to characters from Toy Story, Cars, and a few other Disney carts. 

All cardstock is Stampin Up.  Pooh paper (left side) and Tigger paper (right side) are Sandylion.  Titles are welded with CDS, then "stickled".  I made the honey pot border by just welding the shadows of the honey pots, which is super easy. 

Cricut carts used:  Pooh and Friends, Storybook, Plantin Schoolbook

WDW Magic Kingdom Fireworks

Disney fireworks isn't something I would normally scrap, but just felt the need this time.  The upper left corner didn't photograph well.  I found some really fun fireworks paper, very sparkly and glittery.  It's too sparkly to show up good I guess. 

Cricut:  Lyrical Letters
Again, SU Real Red and YoYo Yellow cardstock, Stardust Stickles on "Wishes"

WDW Animal Kingdom's Everest Expedition

These pages didn't photograph very well.  They really aren't as boring as they appear in the photos.  Has anyone created a Yeti?  Only thing I could come up with was to try to make Sully (Monsters Inc) look mean.  LOL  Work with me here, because my Yeti doesn't really look mean!

Cricut:  Alphalicious, Best of Pixar, George
SU Pear Pizazz, Basic Gray, Textured White, Basic Black





WDW Introduction Page

Confession:  I have no sewing skills. 
Remedy:  We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool and some floss!

So my hand stitched Mickey head is a little rough, but I'm pleased with my first Sew Easy project.  This layout will be the first page in the book of our January 2011 Disney trip.
