While it has been years since my last trip to Disney World (waaaah) and I already scrapbooked that whole trip, there are still some every day Disney things that are part of my life. For instance, right now my youngest boy is in love with Toy Story, mostly Buzz Lightyear! For Christmas he ended up with a Buzz and Woody that communicate with each other, the Toy Story play set and all the guys that went with it, and a Toy Story game for his DS.
So when I saw the Toy Story cartridge I knew I had to have it hehe!
But then I saw all those tiny parts on that cartridge. And it sat, and sat, and sat. I have this thing about getting things done quick, or I don't want to do them! So I thought why not draw out all those tiny parts instead of cutting them? I used Design Studio to layer all of my parts, hiding the parts I didn't want drawn out. There are 2 different files for this page, and they will both be at the bottom of this post.
This is what I got, the black is what gets drawn, the light blue is invisible.
I added the Chomas Creations mini gel pen holder with the black metallic mini gel pen to the Cricut and drew the images out. Then I had added a shadow layer to the Design Studio file to use to cut around my images. Without removing the mat from the Cricut, I carefully removed the Chomas Creations mini gel pen holder and replaced the blade to cut the shadow image.
This is what the images look like drawn with the Chomas Creations mini gel pen holder! Time to color hehe!
One of my favorite parts of the Chomas Creations mini gel pens is that I can use them with the Copics, and there is NO smearing!!! And there is a little kid in me that loves to color hehe!
I also drew the title with the Chomas Creations mini gel pen holder and colored that with the Copics as well.
So can you guess the next thing I did with the Chomas Creations mini gel pen holder? Perhaps background paper? Well I didn't have any Toy Story background paper, so I decided to make my own with the images from the Toy Story cartridge! Can you see all the details you get? I chose 2 of the Buzz images, and 2 of the Woody images to draw.
Here is the page all put together!!! Along with my lil guy Jack! I added my journaling around the outside of the page as well.
If you would like the file to draw the background paper, you can get it here... Toy Story background

Cute layout! Thanks for the great ideas. I'm not sure what I'd draw..possibly something from one of my Disney cartridges. Thanks for the chance to win. TFS!

Wow, this is so cool! I've been wanting to try drawing with the Chomas pens, but haven't purchased them yet. Maybe I will be lucky and win some!
If I had some, I would draw some of the floral and fancy designs from the cricut cartridges I have. I just got a small set of copics, so it's great to know they work well with the chomas pens!
Thanks for a chance to win!

Love your LO's. What a great idea using the pens. I haven't used them but you have inspired me to do so. Thanks.
Very creative! I am new to Cricut world & I was just downsized out of my job, but when I get back on my feet, your holders (I saw somewhere on Youtube) are on the top of my list!
