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 :)

Composition Notebooks

When the composition notebooks go on sale for 10 cents, I can't help but buy more!  When a friend was at Target a couple of weeks ago and saw them for .10, she called to see how many I wanted.  An altered composition notebook makes a great teacher gift, or small token for someone at the office, or dance instructors, etc. 

Here are just a couple that I've made so far.  I'll post more as I get them finished. 

I also finished off the notebook on the right with Stampin' Up! DSP, cardstock, and ribbon.  The sun is cut from Doodlecharms at 4", and stamped with Peachy Keen.  Isn't she adorable???  I used a white gel pen on her eyes.  The banner is made with the new Pennant Punch from Stampin' Up! along with the new Pennant stamp set.  This notebook might be for one of my daughter's cheer coaches. 

The notebook here on the left is covered in Urban Garden DSP and Pacific Point cardstock, both from Stampin' Up!.  A few sponged flowers, brads, buttons, half-pearls, and Wild Wasabi ribbon finish it off.  This one couldn't be any simpler. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

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!
