"Ears" to Breakfast!

Happy Monday!  I thought I'd pop in and share another Disney layout today.  This is another layout from my 2011 Disney album.  I loved this picture so much of my littlest guy enjoying his Mickey waffle that I gave it it's own special page!  I used lots of Cricut again here - my Cricut is my go to tool for all of my scrapbook layouts.  I used the Mickey font cartridge for the title and the Mickey "waffles" on the plate.  Here is a close up of how I made the waffles...

I cut large Mickey heads and then embossed them with a Sizzix checkerboard embossing folder.  I inked the edges to give them a "cooked" look.  The butter squares are just 1 inch squares with rounded corners.  The plate and utensils are from the Dreams Come True cartridge.  They are found in the icon feature on one of the Beauty and the Beast cuts.  Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Have an AAAAHSOME 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July everyone!!  I have had this stamp set for over a year - sad, I know but I finally got my mojo working again to use it - YAY!!  I had fun making this card.  I love to watch my kiddos watching fireworks as much as I like actually watching the fireworks show and this is what this stamp set reminded me of.  It's the beauty of fireworks through a child's eyes.  Here is the Stampendous set I used...

 I changed things up a bit to get the scenic feel to the card.  I stamped the kids out and then colored them with Copics and cut them out of the box.  I brayered the night sky background onto a piece of white cardstock using Sailboat Blue and Denim Adironkdak inks (a technique that I was excited to learn from a Zindorf workshop a couple of years ago).  I then stamped the fireworks on with clear embossing ink and embossed them with red tinsel embossing powder to make them shine.  Here are the Copics I used for the kiddos...

Thanks for stopping by!!  I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful 4th of July!!
