Really really love this card. Love what you did with the balloons.
Thanks for your comment Cathy - it's in the mail!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLETTE!!

WELCOME to Nicolette's Brithday Bash Blog Hop ~ June 1st & 2nd.  I'm so happy to be participating and celebrating with her and all the other wonderful, creative artists!

Please visit everyone ~ the links are at the bottom of this post.



The mission ~ create something DISNEY. 

When I thought of using the POOH AND FRIENDS cartridge, I sort of cringed.  This cartridge is really cute but the way the layers go together always intimidated me (it was one of the first cartridges I purchased too).  It's my own fault because I have never taken the time to really study the handbook so this was the perfect opportunity to work with it.

Here's my Heffalump!!  I also used a balloon from CELEBRATIONS.

The number paper and banner are from the DCWV Celebration Stack and the blue is from the Glitter Cardstock Mat Stack.




Heavy wire wrapped around a paint brush handle then stretched out a bit were used to make the strings.  I poked a hole near his hands and threaded the wire through and taped it on the back.

So glad you stopped by.

Please leave a comment (and I'd love for you to become a follower but it's not "required" but leaving a way for me to contact you is) for the chance to win a little something :)

Happy hopping!!

    Beautiful job! I fill the same way about the cuts on the disney cartridges, but when done it fills so rewarding because the projects turn out so detailed. Love the balloons also.

    Wow! You did a really good job! I love the idea of wrapping the wire around the paint brush...it is these little tips that I pick up...never think of myself..that are helping me to improve my own works. Thanks so much for sharing.
