Sweet & Magical Mickey Ice Cream

 

 

Welcome to an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won't want to miss a single creation from this amazing group of stampers!

My preorder box arrived last week, and sadly, sat unopened in my disaster of an office.  I told myself I could not open the box until I made my way through the pile of Christmas gifts that needed to be wrapped.  Well, I made it through half of the pile and I could not wait any longer.  I have a sweet little friend celebrating her birthday this week and I knew the adorable Sweet Ice Cream stamp set would be perfect for her card.  As I was creating her card and punching out the ice cream, I quickly saw little Mickey Mouse ice creams.  So, of course I had to set her card aside and put my idea to work!

What do you think?!?

Aren't these the cutest?!?! I don't know about you, but I can not wait until Disneyland is reopened and it's safe to travel again!  

To create this card, I stared with a Whisper White card base, embossed with my favorite Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder.  Then I added a polka-dotty strip of Trimming the Town DSP.  A Crushed Curry Stitched Shapes circle was the perfect background for my little Mickey and Minnie ice cream bars.  Next up...the sentiment.  I love that the Happy Birthday font kind of has a Disney feel...just what this card needed.  I heat embossed the sentiment in white, the fussy cut it, along with the "Hope It's Sweet".  I finished it all of with my favorite All the Trimmings embellishments.

Now I just need to hurry up and wait for a Disney-loving friend to have a birthday...and keep on waiting for Disneyland to open back up!

Supplies Used:

Paper:  Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Trimming the Town DSP

Ink ~ Crumb Cake, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Sweet Ice Cream

Other Supplies ~ Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder, All the Trimmings Embellishments, Stitched Shapes Dies, Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch

This will be our last hop for 2020...we are going to take the rest of the year off to enjoy time with family and friends.  I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and cheers to a fresh New Year!

I can't wait to see what the rest of our Monday Montage crew has in store for us!

Cookies for Santa

'Tis the season to bake cookies...and lots of them for Santa! 
The Friday Mashup team is getting inspired by all the Christmas baking we are all doing (or getting ready to do) and we are mashing things up by using our dies!

My boys came across some super cute Mickey and Minnie Christmas cookies a few weeks ago and have been begging to make some!  I finally got some Mickey cookie cutters ordered so we can make some extra special cookies for Santa. 
While we wait for those cookie cutters to get here, we have Santa's card all ready to leave on Christmas Eve with his cookies!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Foil, Silver Glimmer, Merry Moments DSP

Stamps ~ Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015

Ink ~ Smoky Slate

These cute little Mickey and Minnie ears certainly make me want to get in the kitchen and start baking!   Will you be doing any holiday baking this weekend?

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Happy Stamping!



Jake and the Neverland Pirates

Ahoy Matey and welcome to April's SSINK Layout Challenge.  I have been slacking in keeping up with documenting fun events so far this year...maybe it's because I'm still in denial over MDS going away :(  After designing this page, I decided I am going to make the most of MDS while I can and get caught back up!

This page is from a fun Mommy & Son date!  My BFF and I took our boys to a Disney Junior Life show featuring Sofia the First and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  Neither of the boys were too excited about the princesses, but as soon as Jake came out, they were all smiles and LOVE it!

I used the Ahoy Matey DSP for this...pretty fitting for Jake, right?  And of course I had to turn the hexagon in the sketch into Mickey ears!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Be sure to head on over to SSINK to see the other design team takes on the sketch...and while you're at it, join in the fun!!

Happy Stamping!



The Most Happiest Place...

...oh how I wish I could go back!

Don't these pictures just make you smile?!?!?  How can you look at Disney pictures and not? 

We had so many fun pictures together from our trip...I could create a whole album from the 4 days we were there.  We had so much fun and we were both really good about taking LOTS of pictures....lots of fun memories for sure!

 

I used this weeks MDS Monday sketch to get me started.  I love wrapping text around the pictures!

 

Looking at this page makes me want to go back to Disneyland again so bad, but it will be a couple more years before I get to...boo!  Wendy, the lucky lady that she is, will be heading back there again next month!  I'm planning on living vicariously through the pictures she posts while she is there!

TTFN!  Happy Friday!


Run Disney ~ SSINK September Scrap Sketch

Happy Monday friends!  Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  I don't know about you, but the weekend flew by way too fast...again!!  If only the work week went by as fast as the weekend...

But, here we are at Monday again, and that means it's time for a new challenge over SSINK.  This time it's a scrapbook layout...my favorite!

I have so many fun pictures from my trip to Disneyland last month, so of course I had to use some of those for this sketch!  This page is dedicated to the main reason for heading down to sunny California...the Disneyland Half Marathon!  This race was one of a kind and was SO.MUCH.FUN!   I hope to run another Disney race soon!

 

 

This page is pretty simple in the way of MDS supplies used.  Other than the firework bursts, the rest is just different fonts and photos...easy peasy!  I used a picture of the castle for my background, one of my favorite things to do on an MDS page!  The other photos were just dropped in to photo boxes and just like that, my page was done!

 

Be sure to head on over to check out the rest of the design teams creations.  Don't forget to join in the fun and play along too!  We love to see how we INKspire you to CREATE!

 



Runnin' with Mickey and Friends ~ Monday Montage



Welcome to another fabulous Monday Montage Blog Hop!  We love to share our creations with you and thank you for joining us!

As you're reading this, I'm in the air making my way home from four amazingly awesome days in Disneyland with Wendy...it really is the happiest place on earth when I get to hang with her!  We walked our little feet off every day we were there and BRIGHT and early this morning we RAN our little feet off!  13.1 miles to be exact!  It was a little slow going with thousands of runners all around us...and HOT...but it was FUN!  We got separated at the Anaheim Angels stadium, so we didn't get to cross the finish line together, but we were close!  So, of course I had to do an MDS page for all of our fun today!

 

 

I will update a bit later with all of my MDS supplies I used :-) 

 

Next up is Cathy...I love her style!  Or if you want to hop backwards, you can hop on back to Amy...she inspires me each and every hop!

 

  Thanks for hopping along with us today!

 

Happy Stamping!
