Hello My Friend!

Hello Disney and Crafty Friends!  I have been very busy lately crafting!  It feels great to finally have some time to be making cards.  I have made two different cards using one of my favorite dies from Stamps of Life.  Here is the first one:

Here is the second one.  I used the same die but embellished it differently.

The die sets from Stamps of Life make it so easy to make cards!  If you do not have one of Stephanie Barnard's die sets what are you waiting for?? LOL!

I hope that you have a fabulous weekend doing something that you love!! Thanks for stopping by and have a magical day!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello! Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope that everyone is having a SWEET day! Here is what I have been up to:

Today was my weekly Weight Watcher's meeting. I always sit with the same group of great ladies and I wanted to take them something since our meeting fell on Valentine's Day. (Plus I love Valentine's Day!) Of course, candy was not something I wanted to give so here is what I came up with (and what is in the pretty package in the above photo):

So fun to give and all my buddies enjoyed the surprise.  Next up is some vintage Disney..............

This is an uncut book I purchased at a toy show.  Here is some of what is inside of it.

 

I just love vintage Disney!  The artwork is so cool in the older books!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope that you have a magical Valentine's Day!!

 

Tis The Season............

Happy Holiday Season everyone! Woo-Hoo I LOVE this time of year! I have been busy catching up with friends at parties and lunches, shopping, wrapping, decorating, crafting and just enjoying the season!

Last week I had my annual craft club Christmas party.  Here are some of the goodies that I received.

A BEAUTIFUL ornament handmade by L. Johnson.

Goodies I received in my gift exchange.

Handmade cards from my crafting buddies.

More goodies that I received.

Yummy homemade breads and an ornament.

FUN stuff, huh?  Over the weekend I decided to get crafty and here is what I came up with:

I just LOVE the "Triple Time Stamping technique".  Go here to learn all about it.  Last but not least I was in a Disney swap.  Each one of us was matched up with a "Secret Santa".  My Secret Santa knew that I liked anything Disney and especially vintage Disney.  Here is what I got:

I also got a cute little coffee sleeve that was handmade. Love it!!

As you can see I have had a lot of holiday fun going on! LOL  I hope that you have a magical day and thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Giving It Another Try

Hello Disney and Crafty friends!  Ever since I read about the"Triple Time Stamp Technique" challenge over at Scrapbook Blessings Club my mind has been whirling with ideas of what I could make with this technique.  I have already made one card for the challenge and you can see it here. Here are another two that I just finished today:

The stamps that I used are "Halloween Subway Art" (background stamp) and "Trick or Treat Pirate" (the cute little guy).  Both are from Stampabilities. The background was stamped using Memento Ink (Tangelo).  I used Journey Glaze on the sword and Stickles on his hat and buttons.  I colored the pirate with Prismacolor pencils. The card stock, ribbon and embellishments are from my stash.

My "favorite" Mouse stamp is by All Night Media.  The background stamp is by Hero Arts.  The background was stamped with Impress ink (Poppy Red).  I used Journey Glaze on the dots and sprinkled a little glitter on the glaze.  The card stock, brads, ribbon and twine are from my stash.

So there you have it!  I have been crafting up a storm this week. LOL  These are entered in Challenge #3 over at Scrapbook Blessings Club.  Head on over and check out their awesome blog!  Better yet get in on the fun and link up to one of the challenges.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a MAGICAL day!!

What A Find!

Somebody has a brand new home!  

That somebody is this sweet little Mouseketeer and the new home for her is MINE!  This morning, while I should of been at home starting my home improvement project (new floors) I was out shopping estate sales with my step-brother and mom.  Thanks to the two of them being the early risers that they are I scored this doll! (Thank you again Joseph!)  You see while I was still getting ready (okay rolling out of bed) the two of them arrived at the sale and held a pile of goodies for me.  The above doll was a given....she was meant to be mine.  Now the other things were the unknown.  You see they were large ziplock bags full of miscellaneous.  All that I knew was that they contained miscellaneous "DISNEY".  Here is some of what was in them:

I have to tell you that to some, this looks like a pile of nothing.  To me, it is a pile of treasure!  I see vintage Disneyland bags that can be used to paper craft, two watches that I do not have (shocker), pins (some old, some new), two cups (one from the 25 anniversary at the Park), a miniature pewter train (complete with Disney characters riding it), snow globes, figurines, bobble heads, etc. Some of the things I already have....I will easily sell or donate those.  Some of the things I don't want....and some I did not even take a picture of.  All I can tell you is the enjoyment that I had going through the two zip lock bags was worth the price of it all!! It is was so much fun to find what I thought was just a broken train track at the bottom of a bag was really a complete little train!  Finding the pins was the added bonus to the find!

I hope today found you doing something that you enjoyed!  Have a magical evening!

Magical Monday with Mickey & Minnie

I hope that everyone is having a very magical Monday!  Here is a card that I recently made for a friend who is feeling under the weather.  I thought that maybe my favorite "Mouse" would lift her spirits.

Card Details:

The Mickey and Minnie rubber stamp is from All Night Media .  I colored this cute duo with my Prismacolor pencils and used Mineral Spirits to blend the color.  For Mickey's buttons I used white Enamel Accents and Glossy Accents was used on Minnie's bow.  Stickles was used on Minnie's dress.  I inked the edges of the white card stock with black chalk ink. The ribbon, brads & acrylic flowers were from my stash.  The black & white card stock was from the dollar zone at Joanne Fabrics. ( It is actually a plain pre-made card that came in a package of six /complete with envelopes).  So there you have it.............the end result was the above card.

I hope that you have a MAGICAL week! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Since this is the "Season of Love",  with Valentine's Day fast approaching,  I decided to make a few Valentine's Day cards to share with you. My first one is Disney themed (of course!)

Mickey is dreaming of his Valentine, Minnie!

I used the Cricut Cartridge "Mickey Font" for my large Mickey.  I cut my favorite Mouse at five inches.   The thought bubble that Minnie is in was cut from the Cricut Cartridge "Batman: The Brave and the Bold".  The Minnie rubber stamp is by Rubber Stampede.  The "Be Mine" stamp is by Stampin' Up. To color Minnie, Prisma Colored pencils and Mineral Spirits were used. I used Stickles on the dollie and on Minnie's heart. The paper was from my stash. (I love that Mickey's ears are glittered.  I used black glitter paper for the ears - no Stickles on them) White Enamel Accents was used on Minnie's dress.  The small hearts are foam hearts from Target's dollar section.

Next up is one of my favorites.  Who does not love Winnie The Pooh? Though not a traditional looking Valentine's Day card a cute sentiment inside could make it one.  Maybe something like.......I love you "beary" much!  Pooh was cut using the Cricut cartridge Pooh & Friends.  He was cut at approximately 11 inches and is a shaped card (thanks to the welding feature on my Gypsy).  The card stock used was from my stash.

  Lastly,  is a Valentine made with the Close To My Heart Cricut cartridge "Artiste" (cut at four inches).  I have only had the chance to make a few things with this cartridge and I have to say that it is one of my favorites!  

Everything that I used to make this card was from my stash (even the cute stick pin).  I layered the heart with solid cardstock that I embossed with my Cuttlebug.  The cartridge instruction book shows this card with a paper tie (cut using the cartridge)  instead of a ribbon.  I used the ribbon as I liked how it gave the card a softer feel.

This is the inside of the above card.

That is all that I have to share with you today.  Be sure to keep hopping along.  Your next stop is Jackie at Kreate With Me 2.  Don't forget to leave me a comment and a way to get in touch with you.  You just might win the blog candy!! 
Also, hop on over here tomorrow for day two of the hop. I will have more cards to share with you and maybe just maybe more blog candy!  I hope you have a very magical, Disney kind of day!!

Fun Disney Things From London

I am a HUGE Disney fan.  I am also a HUGE fan of toys and vintage children's books.  The toys can be vintage or they can be brand new. They can be Disney related or not.  Usually they are.  Though I have many Barbies that are not Disney.

With the Olympics being held in London I started to think about my Minnie Mouse, the Queen of my toy room.  Recently my husband took a business trip to London.   He had very little free time while he was there.  Lucky for me he used that time to track down a Disney store and pick me up a few things.  I thought that I would share those with you.

A London shopping bag, pin and Minnie as the Queen.

Isn't Minnie just too cute in her Queen outfit?  Thank you again to my hubby for picking me up these great Disney items.

How many of you are watching the Olympics?  I really enjoy all of it.  Just when the swimming competition is ending I find myself getting caught up in the track and field events.  I hope that you are all having a Magical Monday!  Thanks for stopping by.

Talent Round Up Continues

I have just a few more things to share from Scrap Camp.  Scrapeteer Anna Luisa made the following:

The bracelet was purchased at  Michaels.    Anna Luisa used Close To My Heart True Black archival ink to stamp the images.  The images are from EK Success. This was such a great idea!  I can't wait to try it.

This mini book started out as a sheet of chipboard that needed assembled and decorated.  Anna Luisa purchased the book at AZ Scrapbooking.  The paper that she used is from her stash.  The Mickey punch is from EK Success. I think it turned out SUPER cute!

Scrapeteer Candy passed out this adorable goodie bag filled with all kinds of Disney treats!

Scrapeteer Delia recently took a class at AZ Scrapbooking and learned how to make these cute containers.

Delia used patterned paper from her stash. She used her Cuttlebug and an embossing folder to make the handle.  According to Delia this is super easy to make.  I lost count how many of them she made during our weekend together.

Scrapeteer Delia

Here is Delia with all that she made. Aren't they super cute?  I think that it is a great way to use up that patterned paper.  These could be used as a gift bag for a birthday present or as a container to hold crayons, etc.  At camp we had our Mickey shaped cookies in one of them. Lots of possibilities! 

That's all for now crafty friends! I hope that everyone is enjoying their Saturday!

Scrap Camp Talent Round-Up

All of the decorations at Scrap Camp were just wonderful. My fellow Scrapeteer, Danielle, made the following fun Disney decorations using her Cricut.  She did such a fantastic job that I had to share them with you.

Danielle also made this adorable Buzz Lightyear card:

Danielle used the Cricut cartridges Toy Story and Sweet Treats.  She used black gems for the eyes.

Scrapeteers Danielle and Delia made this awesome magnet!  They gave one to each of us.

The following were purchased at My Fun Stampers Journey :  the Mickey gem, the bottle cap magnet and the action wobble (it is under Mickey's glove).  This magnet looks too cute on my refrigerator!

This super cute bag was made by Carol & Peggy.  We all got one of these too!

The following was used to make this bag:  sparkle felt, glitter glue, & Aileens fast set glue.  The felt letters were made using the Cuttlebug.  Yes! The Cuttlebug cut felt! Using the Cricut, a template was made for the Mickey head.  Peggy & Carol then traced the Mickey head on to the felt and had cut it out.  What a great idea! I just love it!!

Scrapeteer Delma passed out these pencils and handmade pencil holders .  Each one was personalized with our photo. 

Delma used soup cans to make these pencil holders.  What a great way to recycle!

Here are just a few pictures of our scrapping area.  All the Scrapeteers are busy on their projects.

I have a few more cute things that the gals made for scrap camp to show you.  I will share those with you in my next post.  Until then, have a MAGICAL DAY!!!!
