Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!  I am honored to be a part of the hop that is co-hosted with Shawn and Melissa.  If you arrived here first, be sure to stop by Shawn http://craftychicsblog.blogspot.com/ to see the whole hop.  I hope that you find inspiration along the way. 

If you arrived here from Kim http://uscrap2.blogspot.com/ then, you are in the right spot. 

I decided to work on a two page layout to add some disney pictures later.  Below is a picture of it before I glued it all down.  I love to use my scrap'n easel to work on my cards and layouts before I glue it all down.  It makes the process easier.  In fact, she is having a sale on them now and you can see more on her site just Click here!







It all began with a mouse but, I find that I like to begin my layout on the gypsy.







I used Mickey and Friends, Mickey Font, Accent Essentials and Cursive 101.

I used the cutterpede to cut a red and yellow border.






I positioned mickey between the two pages cutting him just to the left of his eyes.







Here is the left page:







And the right page:







I cut some additional Mickey gloves to hold the photo mat.






I used the gypsy and welded the shadow layer and font for the title.






The irock added some bling to the title.








For the "Mouse" title, I used Mickey Font.









I used a few different papers on this layout including EK success Disney Mickey paper pad, Sandylion Mickey Characters and Creative Imaginations magic.  Oh and of course a number of solid cardstock in coordinating colors.
What is your favorite disney title for a layout?  I have a few on my list but, I would love to hear your ideas. 

Please continue on your magical journey to Jenny http://jennyplace26.blogspot.com/ next.  If you get lost, along the way, you can find a complete list on Shawn's site.

Congrats 2011!

This is Lori from ScrappinMyStressAway here with one of my handmade graduation cards.  I am delighted to be a Guest Designer today at SweetSassyDiva's blog.  My middle son is in high school and was invited to several graduation parties this year.  I prefer to make cards for his good friends.  For this card, I took the numbers 2011 and made them into a card.

I welded the word Congrats together (font from Cursive 101) to fit inside the card.

I started with Disney Mickey Font cartridge and put the shadow numbers 2011 at 2.68 height.  I welded them together, then copied and pasted another set.  I flipped it upside down and moved it on top of the original numbers.  I also tapped on the second 0 until it was purple, then hid the inner cut.  I welded the two 2011s together.  I put the regular numbers 2011 on the screen at 2.68 height for my patterned paper.

I used the font from Cursive 101 at 1 inch height and welded the word Congrats.

I cut out the card in blue which is our main school color.

I had this paper from Creative Memories left over from 2008 when my oldest graduated.  It also is the other two school colors.

I put the paper on the front of the card.  It seemed a little busy but I really liked the words on it so I just kept going!

I cut out enough pieces for 4 cards.  I did make one in red instead of blue for a different high school graduation.

I did not like how the o and n welded together, so I snipped off the extra piece.

I ran the patterned paper and the sentiment through my Xyrons.  I make sure to rub the images quite a bit before I remove them to minimize glue bugers!!

I outlined the numbers in black stickles to help with the "busy-ness" of the paper.

I added a diploma from Jolees.  This card is for a boy, if it were for a girl I would have added a ribbon around the outside 1.  And here is an easy to make graduation card for any year (as long as you change the last digit)!

If you would like to see the other two graduation cards I made this year, please go HERE and HERE.

Thank you Bobbi Jo for having me and my Graduation Card on your blog today!!
