Buzz Xmas

My sweet 5 year old little boy is very much into Toy Story as many kids are right now, and so when they came out with the new Toy Story cartridge I wanted to get it really bad. I held off waiting for it to go a little less than it was, and finally, it did!! Yeah! So, since I haven't been able to use it lately (been sick!!) I really wanted to make one for Christmas for him.

He especially loves Buzz, so I chose the Buzz on page 35. I originally was going to do the one on page 38, but after cutting everything out I just could not figure out how to put it together. Am I the only one that has had this problem? I thought that the newer carts were suppose to be made better for layering. Not so! Anyway, I can't remember what I cut him out at (because I had to play around with it a little).

Last I used my Cuttlebug and the Polka Dots embossing folder to emboss some of the plain cardstock to add a little dimension.

Again I used DVWC Christmas stack and Bazill cardstock for the solid colors. I think that it turned out fabulous and I know that my son is going to love it. Hope that you do too!

Have a Very Belle Xmas!

My daughter is 3 and this year she is starting to get into Barbies and Disney Princesses. So, I had to get the Disney cartridges and thought that her Christmas card was the perfect time to make Belle. The cuts were quite a bit more difficult to put together than I thought they would be, but I managed to get them all together (After the first time failed!) It turned out beautifully. I ended up drawing in her eyes and mouth with colored pencils, but I think that my daughter will love her!

I cut Belle out from page 50, at 5.5". I also planned it all out on my Gypsy, so that I knew what color everything had to be and I could use as many scraps as possible. I also added a little glitter glue to the  would be fuzzy areas of her coat.

All the patterned paper is DCWV Christmas stack and all the solid cardstock is Bazzill.

Hope that you like it and Happy Holidays!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

One of my kids most annoying favorite Christmas songs to sing is Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, so when I started to think about what I was going to make for their teachers for the holidays I just knew that I had to incorporate that cute little reindeer that is on the Create a Critter cartridge.

So, what I did was I used the Once Upon a Princess box on page 65 and the using my Gypsy I sized rectangle from Plantin Schoolbook and sized them to fit the sides of the box. After I cut those out I embossed them with my Cuttlebug and the Snowflake folder and then adhered them to the sides (with my pink ATG gun, of course).

For this cute little reindeer I used, of course, the Create a Critter cartridge. The reindeer is on page 73. He is just so adorable, and of course, appropriate for this time of year. He is cute at 4.5", I think.


All the cardstock is DCWV Christmas packs. I filled them with Christmas pads of paper, pencils, and of course something I no one could never live without chocolates. Yum!! (I bought some for myself my kids too)
