Minnie Mouse 12x12 Scrapbook Page







Good Morning Ladies,


I'm so excited to share with you my new Minnie Mouse 12x12 Scrapbook page layout. I had so much fun making this layout.


Some ladies have asked how I made this layout so I wanted to share with you all how I made it!


Directions for Minnie Mouse Layout:


I used Mickey and Friends cricut cartridge and Mickey fonts cartridge.



I cut the black base of Minnie Mouse body out of black card stock and the size that I made her is 6" For her face I used a pink and her face is also 6" and her dress I used red polka dot paper. Her dress is also at 6".


For the Red Mickey heads at the top of the page I used the Mickey Fonts cartridge and I cut the Mickey heads at 2.5" For Minnie mouse is name. The letter size I used was 1.2. I put pop dots under Mini Mouse so it would give the page some 3-D look. For the 1st frame on the page where the Minnie Mouse is they are both the same size. The red is cut at 3x3 and the white is 2 3/4x2 3/4. The yellow circle is a 5x5. The flowers I used a Stampin' die. For page two for the frame I did a 4x6 for the red and a 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 for the white.



Now you are are wondering how I did the pull out on page 2 of the layout. Here are the directions for the pull out



Step 1 Cut two equally sized strips from cardstock.Score vertically at regular intervals on each strip. Score every 3" along each 12" long strip.


Step 2 Place strips end to end, overlapping one scored sections. Attach to create single long strip.



Step 3 Using center section as base, fold back and forth along score marks to create Accordion Booklet. Embellish as desired.


Step 4 Cut length of ribbon allowing plenty of ribbon to tie bow around booklet. Attach center of ribbon horizontally to center of booklet base.


Step 5 Tie ribbon in bow on front of booklet and attach booklet to base to page.


You need 3 12x12 strips of Red, 7 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 yellow squares, 7 2x2 white squares.


Have fun!! Enjoy!


Happy Stampin,


Nicolette

Blog Hop For Ethan Pinter









Good Morning Ladies,

Welcome to Blog Hop for Ethan Pinter. He is a boy that is very sick. Here is a bo from his mom, Meliss Pinter: My name is Melissa Pinter and I have a 2 year old son name Ethan Pinter who was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia at the age of two months old. This is a rare disease because he was not born with Bio Ducts. So Dr. Pintinger and the Akron Childern's Team reconstructed them and the procedure was called a Kasi. So at the age of 8 months old Ethan and I were Life flighted to Cincinnati Childerns because he had Upper GI bleeds. The only thing that would help him would be a new liver. Feb18th 2011 he had recieved a half of another babies liver. THis bay saved my son's life and we are so ever so grateful. Ethan and I had waited a total of 9 months for this. We have been speerated from my husband and faughter during that time. Ethan is now 2 years old and is having complications and we are currently livining at the Ronald Mcdonald house in Cincinnati till we get home better. He has two crucial viru's that he is currently fighting, they are the EBV Virus and CMV Illuminitis (Fatal Virus- it attacks every organ.

If you cam from Kimberly- http://scrappingrookie.blogspot.com/ you are in the right place. If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop please go to wonderful host Jen's blog http://www.memorieswithjen.blogspot.com/
