Eeyore's Kiss

     I am finally getting a chance to scrapbook some pics from my visit to Disney in Anaheim. My fave character is Eeyore who I met at breakfast. As you can see, he was pretty happy to meet me as well.

     I used this sketch from Sketch N Scrap. As usual there is a challenge on the blog and you are invited to participate. It is easy to link up your project and see if you are the lucky winner. Just try out the sketch below.

Layout Sketch #134

     The Eeyore Mickey is a purchase from Etsy. I altered the bottom of it a bit. In order to have the tail swing back and forth on a black brad, I made my own svg file of a donkey tail. 
     I think I'm going to call this font "My Eeyore Font" from now on. It fits perfectly on this banner. 
     I have to mention the mini Eeyore punch. My husband gave it to me years ago. He brought my lunch to my classroom one day and I found it in the bottom of the bag. Surprise!!! I punched a few and added them to A+ papers This is the first time I've used it in my paper crafting.
      I ended up making a complimentary page to extend it into a 2-page layout. 

      I added a fun tag to page 2. It goes behind the mat and is forced to stop when it meets the back strip. When you pull it, it is fun to see the yellow disappear. 

      I added a "Hidden Mickey" on the tag as well. You can't see it until you pull the tag. That makes 4 "Hidden Mickey's" on this 2-page layout. Can you find them all?

Awesome Blossom

     My daughter had her baby last Tuesday - a girl - her first. My husband is an accountant for a large oil company. His group gave him a grandpa shower. It was an amazingly thoughtful thing they did for him. He loves getting that kind of attention. Not only was the party a hit, but they gathered a massive bag of items that my new granddaughter, Brooklyn, will get a lot of use out of. 
     I wanted to make a card with a little bit of pink, a little bit of masculine, and tons of appreciation. I used Stamps of Life: Flower Power 2 Fill - stamps and dies. The paper is from a paper pack called "Mirabelle" that I picked up off of the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby. The borders are die cut from Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Hillside Borders". The ink (Gina K) and twine are dark chocolate.
