Welcome to DISNEY WEEK! (Post 1)

This is not a hop... it is just a group of us crafters that have all promised to ONLY post Disney related projects on our site this week (including Hello Kitty, Pixar, Pooh, Sesame Street, etc.) Some people might post a new project every day; others may only get a few projects out all week, but we will all be showcasing DISNEY (or some other animated character).

There is a link list at the bottom of this post of all the Disney crafters playing along. Feel free to visit us this week and be inspired. :)

Here is my first Disney project.

Project #101 of this year

Action Wobble in Action :)

I made this cute card using MICKEY & FRIENDS Cricut cartridge. He is found on page 108 and cut @ 4". The red square frame is from scraps and so is the background paper.  Button from Hobby Lobby.

THE SCRAPBOOKING QUEEN'S ROYAL CRAFTING SHOPPE: 

• Black & White Twine
• Action Wobble (Mickey wobbles back and forth)
• "Magical" stamp from The King's Birthday stamp set

Easter Cookie Bag Treats!

Our niece, Amy, is spending the day with us today. We are having tonage of funage.

Amy & I made cookies this morning (recipe at end of post), followed by gift bags to put them in, and Amy also made a special card for her brother, Geoffrey. Geoffrey is profoundly retarded, legally blind, and loves things with texture, movement, noise, etc. So this card she made for him is perfect.

Here are the yummy cookies and gift bags...

Project #91 thru 97 of this year

And here is the sweet card Amy made for her brother, Geoffrey, with an Action Wobble!

• CREATE A CRITTER for Bunny cut @ 3 1/2"
• Mary's CARDZ TV STAMPS "Easter Punnies" set for sentiments
• Action Wobble on bunny card
• Papers from Recollections & K&Co.

Here's the cookie recipe:

• 18-oz. package yellow cake mix
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp.) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 1/2 cups plain M&M's candies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except candies and beat until blended. Stir in candies, then drop mixture by tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets.
3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until cookies are set. Let cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

April Showers!

Hey! I know, I know... I'm a tad bit late getting my Paper Playtime post up today. Oopsie.... No worries though because here it is!

For Ch#71 - it's all about APRIL SHOWERS over at PAPER PLAYTIME. Use any Die Cut or Die Cutting machine to create a project using an UMBRELLA! Easy Peasy!

• TALL CARD (measures 9" x 8" - scored & folded @ 4" - This will fit into a #10 Business Size envelope!)
• Background papers cut at:
• Black 3 3/4" x 8 3/4"
• Orange/Yellow/Green 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"
• Black 3" x 8"
• Blue swirls (rain) 3" x 8"
• PAISLEY cartridge:
• Umbrella p. 48 cut @ 3"
• Giraffe p. 70 cut @ 3" (Now I know what you're thinking.... How is that Giraffe so tall if it was cut @ 3". Well, I have an answer for that. The Giraffe will cut sideways instead of longways like most Cricut cuts. So I learned the hard way that when you enter the size to cut it, it cuts it that WIDE, not that tall. So from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail, it measures 3" WIDE.)
• Ribbon from Hobby Lobby 
• Buttons from Hobby Lobby  adhered with Glue Dots
• Giraffe adhered with foam tape for dimension
• Mary's CARDZ TV STAMPS used for "God Loves You!" sentiment stamp from her Encouraging Thoughts set (one of my most favs of all her stamps although I love them all!)
