Disney Blog Hop

Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

Disney and crafting are a magical combination, and we are so happy you joined us to day for this blog hop. Some of the crafters participating in this event have been doing this together since 2011! Over the years the hop has grown but one thing has always stayed the same . . . amazing crafting projects that feature your favorite characters from Disney and Pixar movies.

For 2016 we are going to attempt to have a hop every other month for the entire year . . . February, April, June, August, October and December. If you are on Facebook you can like the group page so that you can be the first to learn about each upcoming event. Just click HERE to go the the Facebook page.

To make sure you don't miss any of the fun, be sure to start at Shawn's blog to see all of the projects. Just click HERE to head over to her blog and then follow the hop line up at the bottom of the post to see everyone's projects.

I just returned from a trip to Walt Disney World January 7th and want to go back already!!! I got to see my friend Melissa Allore who was an original participant in this blog hop!

Before we left for Disney World, I wanted to decorate my Magic Band. I grabbed the band from the last trip and practiced on that one first.

I took a fine tip paint pen and traced the Mickey head. It was a little plain but better than blank. I colored it in white (not pictured) but the paint did not cover well. I was afraid it would rub off. So back to Pinterest I went.

I found this Mickey headband image and traced it with my Silhouette Program and cut it out in black 651 vinyl. I added my initial in a fun font. Not every L looks good so I had to find one that I liked and fit the space well.

Tanner wanted his done too.

After 11 days at WDW, my Magic Band looked the same. Tanner's T peeled off around day 9 - it lasted longer than I thought it would!!

My next project was inspired by a shirt that popped up on Shawn's newsfeed. I traced the hand and used a font from my computer to create this shirt out of HTV (heat transfer vinyl) and my heat press! My husband can wear it on our next trip!!!

Here are some of our favorite pictures from this trip. I kind of miss waiting in line to meet the Characters. Tanner is 10 now and prefers riding the rides. The only characters we saw were the Star Wars Characters and the ones at our two character breakfasts.

Before you go, make sure to enter to win our prize for this hop . . . a Disney paper pack from Queen & Co.

The paper stack will not even be shipping out to stores until late February 2016, so you can have it before the stores are even selling it! Note: Due to the fact that we received this paper stack so early, it is considered a promotional proof and there could be some slight variations from what will be shipped to stores.

Good luck, and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Mickey Water Bottle

Hello and welcome to The Original Disney Pixar Blog Hop!!! You should have arrived from Nancy's BLOG. If you found me first, hop on over to Shawn's BLOG so you don't miss a thing!! This is one of my very favorite blog hops - I hope you enjoy it too!!

I am sad to say we are not planning a trip to Disney World this year. Last year, we went to Disneyland and Disney World - so maybe next year!!!!

Personalized water bottles are all the rage right now so I thought I would get mine ready!!

I started with a double wall water bottle from Wal-Mart. You can unscrew the top of the widest part to add ice - love this feature!!

I used some Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from The Buckle Boutique. This vinyl is super glittery and the glitter is pressed into the vinyl. It is smooth and sparkly!!!

When cutting on my Silhouette Cameo, I use the Vinyl Setting but add a double cut.

You can really see the shine here as it is cutting!

I use my "dental tool" to pick up a corner and weed the extra pieces away.

I put an "L" inside a Mickey Head and used a font from my computer for "My Happy Place" for my water bottle.

I have found the best transfer tape to use is painter's tape. The only drawback is you can not always see your design.

Here is the Mickey head after I lifted it off the vinyl backing. It is silver shiny on the back which is pretty when you have a clear glass container!!

I burnished it onto my water bottle. I first wiped it with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry.

I tied a bow on top for fun - I will take it off when I drink out of the cup!

And the back!

As with any vinyl designed cups and glasses - make sure you hand wash between uses!

Keep on Truckin' Friends!! Peace!

I created two different layouts for my project today. The first one is a picture of me when I was 11 years old (1975):

Every Sunday in the summer, we spent the day at the lake. We had a cabin and my dad had a boat. If you look real close you can see the boat in this picture. I found this paper and knew it would be perfect for my layout - it reminds me of some of the wall paper we had (the shapes not the color).

I photo copied my mom's writing from the back of my photo. My mom passed away in 1989 so I don't have much of her handwriting!!

I have red in my swimsuit so I added a row of red fish to the bottom of the paper.

I found a 70ish font and cut out my title with my Silhouette Cameo.

I added a touch of red to the top corner.

And my favorite part of this layout is the yellow anchor paper sun!!

This next layout is one of my Halloween costumes. I am younger here - I am guessing 4 or 5. My mom made my angel costume.

I used this scrapbook paper because it reminded me of the Raggedy Ann doll I had as a child.

I used a chipboard pumpkin and Best Costume banner on my chevron photo frame. My mom was very proud of this costume!!

I strung a banner of chipboard letters with some twine across the top of my layout.

Thanks for swinging by!!

Up next is the Marvelously Groovy Michelle!!

So, grab yourself a Latte', sit back and hop along with us as we share our projects with you.

I found some inspiration on Pinterest after my friend lost her wedding ring. She would put it on the kitchen counter while she did the dishes. One evening, she forgot to put her ring back on. The next time she looked on the counter - it was gone! Long story short - the ring was in the trash on accident (thanks to her young son) and dad found it!! I wanted to make her a little ring dish to keep by the sink! Naturally, I went to Pinterest to see some ideas!

I loked the sparkly gold in this ring dish. The pin can be found HERE.

I purchased two small square dishes/bowls from Target. I used a similar font from my computer and cut it out in gold vinyl. I also cut out some small circles in gold.

I thought the dish looked a little plain without the dots (I was not a fan of the dots at first).

I also found another idea that would work well for a wedding gift.

I liked the Mr. Mrs. dish. You can see this pin HERE.

I cut this design out of black just like the pin. I can't wait to give this one to my friend's daughter for her wedding!!

Your next stop will be with CANDACE!

Are you ready to build a SNOWMAN? Let it go!!

We went to Disney World in November. Tanner turned 9 the day we left. Last year when we went to WDW, he only wanted to see Phineas and Ferb and the characters from our meals. I was surprised that he wanted to see Elsa and Anna. Of course, we did not book a fast pass months in advance to see them because he was more into riding rides than waiting for character autographs.

So, we got to the Magic Kingdom right after breakfast with Lilo and Stitch and he wanted to see the wait time. Mind you this was our first full day at MK and he had a list of rides he was hoping to ride. Well, the wait was 90 minutes 20 minutes after rope drop! He insisted on waiting. Mike and his parents went on a few rides while the boys and I waited. His brothers are 19 and 24!!!

When we were two families from the front of the line, Tanner asked me what was my favorite part of our vacation so far (on day 3 of our trip) and I said taking Mimi and Papa to eat at Teppan Edo for their first time last night. He smiled at me and said seeing for Elsa and Anna was his favorite part of the trip - TOTALLY made it worth the 90 minute wait!!!

I spent two days looking for the perfect papers for my post!!! I did not have the right blue in my 3,000 pieces of paper!!! This was my third grouping of paper!! I loved the glittered snowflakes on the paper!!

Because I had such good photos of Elsa and Anna, I did not want to cut them out of paper. I did add Olaf though!!

Here is my little Olaf! He was a black and white image that I traced. I got creative with the details, cutting him out in brown and trimming off the white arms and hair. I also cut an extra eyes and nose in orange and trimmed his nose.
