Disney Layouts part 1

I haven't been scrapbooking much for my grand kids so the last two crop weekends at the Scrapbook store where I teach I got down to some crazy scrapbooking.  I did tons of pages to share and finished the complete Disney  album for my granddaughter Kenzie and grandson Micah's first trip to Disney.  I got to go with them so took lots of pics.  I have been collecting Disney stuff for awhile now so had lots of "stuff" to choose from.  Most of the pages were very quick and easy with matting, embellishments, and a Cricut cut here or there.  I didn't want to add a lot of junk and take away from the colorful pictures.  

This is the first page with Kenzie trying on her Minnie dress and holding her Mickey before we left.  

I used Mickey and Friends and Mickey Font for this one.  

The first double page layout is  Downtown Disney. 

 I did matting and added a clear filmstrip piece on each page.  

First Stop is cut with Cricut and pictures are of lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. 

These two pages are of the parade.  I used Stickers and other embellishments from my stash.  

More pages tomorrow.,  

It's All About the Princess- Disney Princess Layouts

Being I have three precious granddaughters I have to have Disney Princess layouts.  I used Once Upon a Princess and Princess Party as well as Mickey Font and Mickey and Friends,  

The next two are using a Princess sticker sheet.  

I used Elegant Edges for the pink with silver polka dot center and then cut it in half.  

My Paper Crafting IFTL Project

It's time for this month's I Feel the Love Project with My Paper Crafting.  

This month the recipient is this very special little girl Claire.  Please read about Claire below and how you can make a card for this sweet little girl.  

This is the card I made for Claire using Mickey and Friends.  Donald was cut at 5 inches and I used Glossy Accents for his eyes.  I used some bright polka dot paper and rick rack.  The sentiment hello friend is from the Michael's $1 bin.  I added gel stitching on Donald's hat.  

 

 

 Claire Koreck

I Feel the Love Project March 2013

This is Claire's story as told on her blog, 

The Warrior Princess Foundation:

"The day after Christmas 2012, four-year-old Claire Koreck was taken to the doctor by her parents (Sheila and Patrick) for unexplained complaints of arm pain. A subsequent x-ray showed a fracture as well as multiple bone lesions, an alarming finding. They were immediately sent to CHOP and Claire was admitted overnight to have multiple tests performed. After days of uncertainty and more trips to the hospital a biopsy was done. 

On January 2nd 2013 Sheila and Pat were facing every parent’s worst nightmare: Claire had been diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma.  Ewing's Sarcoma is a primary bone cancer that affects mainly children and adolescents. It's one of a group of cancers known collectively as the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT or sometimes just EFT). It's the second most common bone cancer in children, but it's also relatively uncommon. It accounts for only 1% of all childhood cancers.

Claire and her family now face a very long and difficult journey. Her sisters Maeve (age 6) and Sarah (age 2), and her twin brother Declan are too young to grasp the magnitude of the situation but they know that their sister is sick and the doctors and nurses are going to make her better. The treatment regiment calls for extended rounds of chemotherapy that could possibly last into the summer months, followed by surgery to remove the tumor, and finally radiation. As difficult as the road ahead will be for Claire and her family, they have no doubt whatsoever that the excellent staff at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the continued prayers and support of friends and family, will restore their Warrior Princess Claire back to full health...Please also feel free to follow Claire’s progress or offer words of encouragement to her and her family at her Caring Bridgesite."

First Trip to Disney layouts

Recently my youngest daughter and her family, including her to daughters, went to Disneyland for the first time.  They went with the in laws so I wasn't there :) but got these great pics to scrap.  

Let me tell you it was quick and easy as I had collected  a little Disney paper and recently I cut out some characters for a friend.  Since I was doing it anyway I cut out doubles for future use.  

All the cuts are from Mickey and Friends and Mickey Font.  

Looks like a fun time was had by all!

Cooking With Cricut Challenge -April Fools with a Goofy Card

Woohoo it is time for another Cooking with Cricut challenge and Design Team post.

First I want to thank  Melin for posting two projects I did with her wonderful cutting files on Sunday. I was very honored. If you would like to see my layouts with Kelly and Keegan the Irish Bears and  the birthday cuccake bear check HERE. So now on for this week the challenge is "Make Me Laugh" - April Fool's use a pun or funny saying.  At first I was a little stumped about what I was going to do for this challenge.  Then I  came up with this idea.

The card is a 5 x 7 card and Goofy was cut from the Cricut Cart Mickey and Friends at 5 inches.  

The question mark was cut at 2 inches.  

Hint: It is always best with the Disney cuts to make them as large as possible to piece them correctly.

On the outside I typed the sentiment 

Want to see something goofy? and then on the inside it says

You already did?  

I hope you will join us for the challenge and enter your projects.  We would love to see what you create.  

Read N Draw Quick Layout

Here is a one page layout I did  using some bright fun paper and a couple quick Cricut cuts.  

The "Read" was cut from Mickey and Friends, the "N" from Mickey Font and the Draw from Nate's ABC.  The Crayola embellishments were from the Michael's $1 section and then I added some doodling. 

uick, easy and colorful

 

Twisted Easel Mickey Card

Hello everyone and welcome to the Sweet Sassy Diva Blogspot.  This week the design team was asked to do a project with Disney/Pixar.  There are so many carts to choose from.  For this project I decided to do a twisted easel card and use Mickey and Friends and Mickey Font to decorate it.  

Believe me once you try making a twisted easel card you will be hooked.  

The papers are from a Disney stack I got at Joanns.  

So here are the directions:

1.  Cut 2 pieces of cardstock- one 6x6 and 1 6x 12.  

2.  Fold the 6 x 12 in 1/2  

3.   Fold the left side of large piece across to form a triangle.  (I goofed and folded the wrong way but that is fixable as it will be covered with the other piece).  I use my ATG gun to adhere the  6 x 6 piece to the triangle.  Mke sure to line up at bottom so card will close.  Test now before you can't remove it.  I guess I forgot pic of this step but see picture 8.    

4.  Here is my mat with cuts from Mickey and Friends page 108 cut at 5 inches.  I did not cut the shadow.  

5.  Here is my mat with Oh Boy cut with shadow at 1 inch from Mickey Font.  This was an already designed phrase so I did not have to make words.   

6.  I glued my pieces together and added Glossy Accents to eyes and nose.  To the words I did dots and dashed with a Sharpie.  

7.  Next I stamped my birthday sentiment and placed it on a 3 1/2 inch cardstock piece.  

Then you use pop dots so this piece will hold the easel portion up.  

8.  Place the sentiment piece on the bottom of card back so it holds easel in place. 

Add other cuts - Doesn't Mickey look so happy.  

This is card closed 

I added two Mickey buttons I had in my stash.  

 

Sorry this pic is so blurry.  

So now you know how to make a twisted easel card.  This is the link to where I got my directions and you will also find directions for double and triple twisted easel cards here.

Also I wanted to share a bunch of  layouts that I completed this week.  They are all rather simple as I am trying to make a dent in my picture pile.  For a lot of them I used the paper designs and added titles using my Cricut and a few other cuts as needed.

  For this one I used Baby Steps.

I used Mickey font for some misc pictures.  It says Play and Busy, Curls and Hats.

The Bloom title and flower and butterfly embellishments are from Michael's $1 bin.  The paper is DCWV new Baby Girl Stack.

Baby shower using Create a Critter Monkey

Second Baby Shower used paper from Zoo Stack.  Title Its A Baby Shower from New Arrival.  

Large owl from Paisley and Owl Always Love You title from Straight from the Nest.

Hooked on challenges- 3 cards

I will admit I am totally addicted to challenges.  Doing these challenges  really gives me a great card stash and helps me get to know my cartridges.  Today I have three cards I completed.  

This card was made using Mickey and Friends  for the Paper issues- Life is Sweet Linking Party  and Cooking with Cricut challenge which was to make a card with a lollipop.  

This card is for the Cricutless Challenge at More than Favors 

The third card is for the Birthday Sundaes challenge to use a photo as inspiration.  

I used the blue and white and sand colors from the picture.
