Magical Memories

Hello, friends! Are you gearing up for another great weekend? I’ve been on a roll lately scrapping some family vacation memories and today I have a Disney page to share. Typically, when people think of scrapping their Disney pages they reach for the red/white/black/yellow colors that are so iconic of Mickey Mouse. This time, I took my inspiration from the bright colors of Disney cartoons, instead. So what makes this page feel “Disney” . . . how about a magical, Cricut castle cut?!

The castle cut is from the Wrap It Up Cartridge anchored on an oval created with the Cake Basics Digital Cartridge. Stars act as a great supporting element to the castle cut! The felt star stickers are oldies, but goodies. I updated them a bit by adding plastic stars on top of them.

I added circle mats to the circular pages on the left page with the Cake Basics cartridge. The “Magical” letters were cut using Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake Art Digital Cartridge. The banner image from the Jubilee cartridge was stretched on my Gypsy Design Device and used to house the word “memories” (cut with the Billionaire Digital Cartridge). All of my other page accents were items that I had in my stash. I used my Cuttlebug Machine to emboss a few layers of the castle with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.

See the “Remember” tab stamp? I created that myself! Woot! Woot! Last year I bought the Teresa Collins Stampmaker from HSN.com and I had yet to try it out. Ummmm . . . LOOOOOOVE this thing!!!! I am totally addicted now! It took me a few tries to get the hang of it (didn’t quite figure out that I had to “flash” the back of the stamp first for the smaller pieces to stay put), but I can’t wait to create more stamps!

Thanks for letting me share my page with you today. I’ll be back tomorrow with another Disney page. Hope to see you then!

I have been working on a few scrapbook pages here-and-there and thought I would share another page with you that I created with the Noel Mignon March 2012 Homespun Kit and my Cricut Expression machine.

For the top left corner of my page, I create flag embellishments using the Jubilee cartridge. This cartridge has a font feature with letters on pennant flags. I used my Gypsy Design Device to hide the letters on the flag cuts, and then cut them out on two different patterned papers. You could also use the FREE online design tool, Cricut Craft Room , to do the same thing. A button tied with twine adds some fun dimension. The mountains in the background were created from the Cricut Circle Exclusive cartridge, Pop-Up Neighborhood.

I created the title by welding together the letters of the Gypsy Font (a free digital cartridge included with the Gypsy Design Device). Instead of cutting out the accompanying shadow letters, I cut the word again on gray cardstock and then slightly offset it from the white to create a shadow effect. I did the same thing with the letters of the word “Coaster” from the Disney Hannah Montana cartridge. My journal spots are ribbon slide shapes (with the ribbon slots hidden on my Gypsy device) from the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge. The ticket border edge is a Fiskars punch byJenni Bowlin, that I picked up in the Noel Mignon shop HERE.

Thanks for stopping by! TGIF!
