Lets Get Hopping!

Thank you for joining us on My Cricut Craft Room's Blog Hop!
A big thanks to My Cricut Craft Room for hosting this awesome hop and including me in it.

I am so excited to share with you my Mickey's Pants Mini Album!  Not only is this project Disney related (my favorite type to do) but I got to create it using my brand new Cricut Explore.  I had the BEST time playing with my new toy.  I must admit that I was unsure of whether or not to use my tried and true Cricut Expression to make this project and save the Explore for another day.  Though I have had the Explore for several weeks I had not had a chance to try it out.  Well, after much thought and many You Tube videos later I decided to go for it.......use the Explore.  Boy, am I glad that I did.  It was so much fun to use Design Space and the Explore cut like no other machine I have ever had.  I was very pleased with my end result.

My album closed (front cover).

My album opened. The inside and outside of the back cover are both finished like this.

Recipe:

Card stock from Close To My Heart
Chipboard from my stash
Crop-A-Dile 
Stickles
Ribbon from my stash
Tombo Mono Multi Liquid Glue
ColorBox warm red chalk ink
Mickey and Friends Cricut Cartridge used in Design Space
Brand new Cricut Explore! Woo-Hoo!!
To cut out this album I set the height setting to 5 inches in Design Space. 

I started with card stock and chipboard and ended up with Mickey's Pants Album.  The front and back covers are card stock layered onto the chipboard for strength.  The inside pages are card stock. I decided to leave all the inside pages blank.  I am unsure if this will be an autograph book, mini photo album or a Disney trip journal. Down the road I may add stickers, die cuts or photo mats to it.  The possibilities are endless.

 The next stop on the hop is: Craft Lovers Come Here.

Let's Hop!!

   

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's October's Blog Hop.  Collectively the design team and guest designers have made some amazing and special projects to share with you... over 60 projects are on this hop, but it is in less than 20 stops.

I am so excited to be part of the fun and would like to welcome you to Disney Girl Crafts and Other Fun Things.  I am stop number 9 along the way.   You should of hopped on over from stop 8 and that is Curls and Grins.  If for some reason you started in the middle of the hop head on over to My Cricut Craftroom  and start at the very beginning.  You definitely don't want to miss out on any of the fun. 

I have a couple of cards to share with you. Up first is Goofy.

Goofy was cut using the Cricut cartridge Mickey Font.  Unfortunately I did not write down what I cut him at. (sorry!)  If I had to guess he is cut at 5 inches. An embossing folder was used to make the background. I also used Journey Glaze and Stickles on the background. The paper and twine were from my stash.  I made several of these at one time.  I find that when I cut out Disney images it is best to make a few at one time.  Once I start layering and putting it together it is super easy to make multiples of the same one.  For me the work is figuring out what layer and color go where.

Next up is a little Halloween fun.

These two trick or treaters were cut at 3 inches using the Cricut cartridge Trick or Treat.  A lot of glitter went into making these costumes sparkle.  The pumpkin bag was cut at 1 1/2 inches.  A Martha Stewart punch was used to make the fence in the background.  The bat stickers are from K and Company as is the "No Tricks...Just Treats" sticker.  The paper, glitter and twine are from my stash.  I also used Liquid Pearls (white opal) on her hair and Enamel Accents on the shoes (white) and eyes (black).

If you would like to see any of my other Cricut projects be sure to check out the links on my sidebar.  I am also giving away some blog candy!  All you have to do is leave a comment with a way for me to contact you and follow my blog either through GFC or Bloglovin. Your comment and follow must be received by midnight Sunday night to be eligible to win the blog candy.  I will be drawing one winner on Monday October 7, 2013.  What is the blog candy you ask?  It is a surprise!  I will announce the winner and the "candy" on Monday! 

It's time for you to hop on over to stop number 10.......Lourdes - Creative Crafts Niche
