Disney/Pixar Blog Hop: I Wanna Build a SnowMan

If you love Disney Pixar and crafting, you came to the right place!  We have an entire month of fun planned for you, with a new group of crafting bloggers every Saturday in June.

Are you having fun with our hop?  If you missed the first two weekends, you can still go back and see all of those projects too.  Just click HERE to see the projects from the first weekend, and click HERE to see the projects from the second weekend.

 Here is my Olaf...created with my Cricut Explore

 As you can see I added some stickles glitter to give him some pizzaz

 This is what he looks like on Design Space

 I've tried to keep him simple so that others can put him together fairly easily.  If you want this cut file-then leave me a comment with your email address and be sure you are a follower and have liked my facebook page.  I will get this uploaded to Dropbox and send you a link.  

Here is the finished project for my Olaf....I made Journals for the young women going to summer camp with my church this summer.  I am also working on a Frozen Mini Album that I will have available to purchase as a kit in my Store the end of August so I'll hope you will come back and see that when I've posted it.

Happy Hopping!

Make sure to mark your calendar for MORE projects next Saturday!  You can join the Facebook Event page by clicking HERE. 

Now it's time for you to head over to Kathy's blog.

Do You Wanna Build a Snowman??? Disney's Olaf

I wanted to build Disney's Olaf with my Cricut Explore....

I'm joining some bloggy friends in this Disney Pixar Blog Hop at the end of the month....but I just could wait to start working on some Disney Projects.

So I used my Explore (I LOVE IT) to build a Snowman!!

Olaf was so easy to upload and create.....I am going to make a project for the Young Women in my church for a summer camp that will use the characters from Frozen.  This is just the first of a collection that I hope to share with you in the coming weeks.

Be sure and come back and join me on my week to share my Disney Project and I will give my Blog Followers that are also Facebook Friends the Olaf file for their Cricut Explore (If you don't have an Explore-then I will mail you a finished Olaf).

I have kept the pieces pretty simple-so that you can put it together pretty simply.

As you can see he is much cuter with bling.....so I added some Frosed Lace Stickles for that wintery look.

I hope you like my FROZEN creation and will come back on the 28th to see how I use this piece.

And don't forget to see what my Bloggy friends are doing this weekend for their Disney Pixar Projects.  The link is above and on my Facebook Page also.

Cricut Disney Autograph Book

Hello Ladies-Happy Labor Day Weekend!

My family is going camping to Flaming Gorge so I thought I would share a blast from the past and re-post this Autograph book I made my Nephew last year.

I will post a couple more oldies but goodies this weekend....since I will be gone (and you might be as well) and I have some new Creative Cutter Friends that might not have seen these projects.

Have a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend!!!

My younger brother and his family went to Disneyland this year for Christmas and they asked me to make an autograph book for my nephew Michael.  Michael is the spitting image of my brother and just an adorable little guy so I was excited to work on something special for him.  I've done a few different autograph books for people over the years as custom orders, but I've never done one for a little boy.  

So this one was a challenge.

I created a couple of pages now and will complete the album when he has all of his autographs and his Mom has some pictures with characters I can add in.  That way it also becomes his own personal little brag book.

Hope you like it.

I did a combination Cricut Mickey & Friends Cartridge and Stickers.

When he gets signatures I will create more Cricut Characters to put next to them and his favorite pictures.

 One last look at the cover-HE LOVES EVERYTHING CARS!!!

Welcome to the Disney Blog Hop: Day Two

If you have come here from Kaye's site you are in the right place.  If you just happened to stop by then go to Shawn's site to start at the beginning.  I think you like all of the Disney Inspiration prepared for today's Hop.

Yeah!!! It's my turn today to share some of the Disney STUFF-I've been working on.  Pictured above is the 3D Tee pee and Peter Pan Mini Album I created with my Cricut.  

I am posting the pictures today and tomorrow I will post a video of how to create the 3D leather textured 

Tee pee and some of the surprises inside the Mini.

So here are some more pictures:

It measures 11 1/4 x 11 and is free standing.  I inked it with Old Paper Distress Ink

Tomorrow I will stencil on some animal shapes to the sides using Cricut stencil material.

It measures 5x6 and will hold over 40 pictures.  Really!  I created lots of pull out pockets and lots of places for pictures or journaling.  I have lots to say about "My Boys" so there is definitely a lot of real estate in this mini. 

I used two paper lines:  Crate Paper from my "oldies" stash to create the cover and pages, and a new collection called Campfire by October Afternoon.

The Font came from Pooh Font Set-another Disney Cricut Cartridge

The Peter Pan Characters & Icons came from the Disney Classics Cartridge ( I love this one!!)

Peter Pan is cut at 4.2 inches.

I used an old Rusty Pickle stamp set for my pirate images & sayings. And some gold coins from JoAnn's.

This treasure chest has a surprise I will show you in the video tomorrow.

These pages have a surprise also and don't you just love Mr Snee! 

Here is a close-up:

 both sides of these pages says I will never grow up!

Here is Captain Hook! I love love love this Cartridge.

I used a border punch to create two pockets(and to simulate waves)  This page has a pull out as well.

Here is another look at both projects.  The mini album has a ribbon closure to keep it nice and tight 

and it fits inside the tee pee for a really boyish Home Decor item.  This album is great  for any boy 

themed room or Disney themed room..

Thanks for stopping by today on Day 2 of the Disney Blog Hop.
