Disney Pixar Blog Hop Day!!

I was so excited to be invited in the Disney Pixar Blog Hop and I want to thank Shawn and Melissa  for putting it together and inviting me!!!  If you are stopping by from Cindy's blog Snoflaks you are in the right spot!   If you are just stopping by for the day, HOWDY!  I'm part of the Disney Pixar blog hop, and you are missing out on loads of great ideas, so head on over to Shawn's blog Crafty Chics Blog (and CricutSearch) to start the blog hop!

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

And if you would like the file to draw the Buzz, Woody, and title, you can get that file here...
**CLOSED**  And if you would like to win a Chomas Creations mini gel pen holder with a set of the Chomas Creations assorted mini gel pens, you have a chance right now!!!  You can become a follower if you would like but it isn't necessary.  Leave a comment after this post with what you would try drawing with your Chomas Creations mini gel pen holder, and be sure to leave a way for me to contact you as well.  Simple as that!  Only one comment per person please.  I will use a random number generator by Monday to pick a winner.

  3. Oh that is so cool!
    You know, I'd like to answer your question, but I'm not really sure what I'd draw. Probably something for my cat's scrapbook page, I'd have to look through my choices here and see.

    Love your layout. Creative idea!

  9. Great idea using the pens instead of cutting out all those tiny pieces that somehow manage to go missing in my scraproom. I think I would also draw the Toy Story characters and probably the Pixar Cars diecuts. Actually, I would draw anything that has all of those little tiny pieces!

  33. Nice to know that Chomas can be used with Copics .... Drawing is on my list of "things to learn". I'd probably start with some smaller drawings for the cards I make for my grandkids. Very interesting process. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!

  34. Great idea ... I HATE that paper piecing too and never thought to use gel pens. Thank you for the tip! And of course I'd love an oppty to try yours out, winning them to sample. I have other gel pens and wonder the difference.

  114. I love your layout. The possibilities are endless with the gel pens. I would use them for sentiments, background paper like you did of different images and so on, and so on and so on :)

  119. Wow! You did an amazing job on these!! I would use the gel pens and holder because I volunteered to make invitations for my grandsons 3rd birthday party. It will be a Toy Story party and I really was cringing at the thought of all those pieces!!

  120. Love the layout. And I love the idea of creating your own background paper. But birthday cards would be taken to a whole new level with the gel pens.

  122. I love the quadrant backgrounds. Such a great concept for any type of project. I think I would use the pens on my next pet project with bones, fire hydrants, collars and balls. Love it!

  123. Those pages look great, my 2 yr old is TS crazy. If I won I think I would go crazy with those pens, I had never heard of them before the blog hop, I've heard the Cars cartridges are hard to work with so I would try it on those.

  136. This is darling Amy! I have been dying to try your gel pens with the holder. It just looks like so much fun - I would really like to try the embossing kit too! Thanks for the chance to win the pens. I personally love to put together all those little pieces :) but I would love to draw some of the things on my carts too like the fairies from Fair Hollow and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast! And I love to color too so this seems like the best of both worlds to me. I am a long time follower of your fabulous blog.

    I love the dimension that the copics give the characters. It's a whole new way to use those carts!

    I'd use the pens to draw doodle type designs to make my own background paper. I may even purposely color outside the lines!
