Mickey and Friends Monday with Crazy About Cricut

 

Today I have the awesome priviledge of being a guest designer for Jenny at www.crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com .

If you have not checked out her blog yet, you NEED to check her out and become a new follower.  She is wonderful!!!

 

Toda,y Crazy About Cricut is called Mickey and Friends Monday.

  How perfect is this theme for me?!  Especially, since I am in the process of making two Disney scrapbooks.  One for me and one for my mom, who does not scrapbook or craft.

 

The project I made is actually in the Pooh and Friends Cricut Cartridge handbook.

  I have never (I repeat Never!) made any of the projects that Provo Craft has put in their books.  Mainly,  because once I get the cartridge I  am so exicted that I  just want to start creating.  Well, this weekend I saw this card and thought it was so stinkin' cute, I just had to try it.

  And I love how it turned out!

 

Here is the card receipe:

 

Pooh and Friends Cricut Cartridge

 Base of card is a 12x12 paper cardstock folded in half to make a 12 x 6" card

Scrapbooking Friday

Happy Friday and Labor Day weekend!  I am so excited to share with you my character layout for the design team with My Cricut Craft Room.  I purposely picked this theme, since I knew I wanted to scrapbook my Winnie the Pooh pictures from Disney World a couple years ago.  What a fantastic time we had!  Just my mom, my daughter and me; all there celebrating my mom's birthday and my daughter's first time visiting.  It really is a  magical place!

 

This is the finished layout using only two Cricut Cartridges.  Pooh and Friends Cartridge and the Pooh Font Cartridge.  I just love this fun kid like font.  I use it all the time.

 

Let's get started with my receipe...

The layout is a 12x12 using We R Memory Keepers Designer Paper, Grandma's Kitchen. The chipboard for 'Winnie & Tigger " come from this collection as well.  But I did not have enough chipboard for my entire title so I cut the rest of my words using the Pooh Font cartridge with paper from the same stack and then outlined in stickles to match the chipboard. I place half circles on both sides under the pictures and a 1" strip on top and bottom.    Winnie the Pooh is cut at approximately 4" and Tigger is cut at at approximatey the same size.  They are both cut from the Pooh and Friends Cricut Cartridge.  I just love this cut of Tigger looking over whatever you place him on.  For me it was the border.  I wanted him looking over the top picture orginally but he hung over to far for my taste.  The vellum saying is from Creative Memories Disney stack I found  a year ago at a crop.    And the extra embellishements are from the We R Memory Keepers pack and held in place with some medium size gold brads.

Here are some close us pictures of the two pages.
