Minnie Mouse 12x12 Scrapbook Page

2012-01-25T08:04:00.000-08:00

Good Morning Ladies,

I'm so excited to share with you my new Minnie Mouse 12x12 Scrapbook page layout. I had so much fun making this layout.

Some ladies have asked how I made this layout so I wanted to share with you all how I made it!

Directions for Minnie Mouse Layout:

I used Mickey and Friends cricut cartridge and Mickey fonts cartridge.

I cut the black base of Minnie Mouse body out of black card stock and the size that I made her is 6" For her face I used a pink and her face is also 6" and her dress I used red polka dot paper. Her dress is also at 6".

For the Red Mickey heads at the top of the page I used the Mickey Fonts cartridge and I cut the Mickey heads at 2.5" For Minnie mouse is name. The letter size I used was 1.2. I put pop dots under Mini Mouse so it would give the page some 3-D look. For the 1st frame on the page where the Minnie Mouse is they are both the same size. The red is cut at 3x3 and the white is 2 3/4x2 3/4. The yellow circle is a 5x5. The flowers I used a Stampin' die. For page two for the frame I did a 4x6 for the red and a 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 for the white.

Now you are are wondering how I did the pull out on page 2 of the layout. Here are the directions for the pull out

Step 1 Cut two equally sized strips from cardstock.Score vertically at regular intervals on each strip. Score every 3" along each 12" long strip.

Step 2 Place strips end to end, overlapping one scored sections. Attach to create single long strip.

Step 3 Using center section as base, fold back and forth along score marks to create Accordion Booklet. Embellish as desired.

Step 4 Cut length of ribbon allowing plenty of ribbon to tie bow around booklet. Attach center of ribbon horizontally to center of booklet base.

Step 5 Tie ribbon in bow on front of booklet and attach booklet to base to page.

You need 3 12x12 strips of Red, 7 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 yellow squares, 7 2x2 white squares.

Have fun!! Enjoy!

Happy Stampin,

Nicolette

Here is a bo from his mom, Meliss Pinter: My name is Melissa Pinter and I have a 2 year old son name Ethan Pinter who was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia at the age of two months old. This is a rare disease because he was not born with Bio Ducts. So Dr. Pintinger and the Akron Childern's Team reconstructed them and the procedure was called a Kasi. So at the age of 8 months old Ethan and I were Life flighted to Cincinnati Childerns because he had Upper GI bleeds. The only thing that would help him would be a new liver. Feb18th 2011 he had recieved a half of another babies liver. THis bay saved my son's life and we are so ever so grateful. Ethan and I had waited a total of 9 months for this. We have been speerated from my husband and faughter during that time. Ethan is now 2 years old and is having complications and we are currently livining at the Ronald Mcdonald house in Cincinnati till we get home better. He has two crucial viru's that he is currently fighting, they are the EBV Virus and CMV Illuminitis (Fatal Virus- it attacks every organ.

Things Im Thankful For Blog Hop Nov. 18-19

2011-11-17T21:00:00.000-08:00

Good Morning Ladies,

Welcome to the Things I'm Thankful For Blog Hop. This blog hop runs from November 18th through November 19th. For a lot of people, Thanksgiving has become a day to watch football, eat turkey, and watch the Macy's Day Parade. While these are not bad things, some belive the most important part of Thanksgiving is giving thanks to God for our many blessings. God was very much a part of that first Thanksgiving. Although some would say it was just a day of celebration. Historical records show it was a time to give thanks to God. The pilgrims looked at everything as a gift from God, even the sorrowful things they saw as God allowing them to perfect their character. So with that being said we have created this "Things I'm Thankful" blog hop to show you some things we are thankful for and some wonderful things we think of when we think of Thanksgiving. We've had so much fun creating this hop, and we have a wonderful line up with some oh-so-talented creators. You will see some lovely projects having to do with Thanksgiving and things we are thankful for and a chance to win some blog candy along the way. If you have come from Liz http://tryin2craft.blogspot.com/ you are right on track if not you can start at the beginning http://honeybearzdesigns2011.blogspot.com/ I am so glad that you joined us today!

Today I would like to share with you a Thanksgiving Card that I sent to all of my family. Thanking them for all the wonderful things they do.

Please leave a comment and become a follower and you will have a chance to win a catch all bag.

Good Morning Everyone,

Welcome to the Hawaii Themed Blog Hop. What a great way to spend the last few weeks of summer with a Tropical theme hop. Lots of wonderful ladies in the hop!!

Tropical Theme Card. I love how this card turned out. My favorite part of the card is the flowers. I used this new stamp set from Stampin' Up! It is called Fabulous Florets. I'm going to also post how I made the flowers. I used the technique called Heat Emboss Resist.

Heat Emboss Resist-

1. Use embossing buddy over cardstock. Stampin' Up' sells this. It is great for embossing.

2. Stamp Image with versamarker

3. Emboss as desired/ usually using clear or white embossing powder

4. Pour off excess powder

5. Heat using heat tool

6. Sponge or Brayer color over image

BLOG CANDY- Please help me reach 700 followers. My goal is to reach 700 followers by the middle of September or before. When I reach 700 followers I will give away a special blog candy. Please leave a comment and become a follower. I will be giving away Disney Stamps. Please check back on Tuesday August 23 to see if you are the lucky winner!!

Here is the entire line for the hop. Stop by and check out what they made!!
