Disney/Pixar Blog hop!

I'm so excited to be a part of another Disney/Pixar blog hop!  This is a great bunch of ladies that always come up with amazing ideas to share with everyone!  If you have come from Lori's blog Scrappin My Stress Away, you are in the right place!  If you just stopped by my blog today and would like to start at the beginning of the hop, head over to Shawn's blog Crafty Chics.

I have a lot to cover here for this blog hop, so stay with me!!! hehe! 

Being we are getting close to the holidays (eeeek!) I wanted to work on a Christmas page for my youngest, who had a very Toy Story Christmas!  He just loved the movie Toy Story, and really liked Buzz Lightyear, so we loaded him up with all the Toy Story goodies he asked for!
Some of you may already know that I'm the Amy Chomas from Chomas Creations and we make MINI gel pen & Sharpie holders.  Well that is about to change, well just the mini part!  We now have adjustable pen & marker holders that hold a bunch of different pens and markers, how exciting is that?  And no limit to height when you use the Silhouette, Cameo or Expression 2!
I know a lot of people want to use markers on their pages, but the Sharpie markers would bleed into cardstock, well bring on the Sharpie paint markers!  No bleeding into cardstock!  I found this Toy Story coloring page online and used Make-the-Cut to trace it, then used the thin paths feature to get rid of the double lines.  Then I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with the Sharpie paint marker to draw the image onto my background paper.
Here is what the Sharpie paint markers look like in the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder inside of the Cameo, of course I used black.  I found them so far at Michael's, JoAnns and Hobby Lobby.


Turned out pretty cool, eh?  I also used Make-the-Cut to trace the toy story title to add to my page.  I added some small letter stickers to finish the title.

I added a few Christmas touches and my pictures to finish the page! 


You can see a video in action with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder for the Silhouette/Cameo here.
And you can see a video with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder for the Cricut Expression 2 here.
And if you want the chance to win your choice of a Chomas Creations mini gel pen holder or adjustable pen holder for your choice of the Cricut or Silhouette, make sure to leave a comment on this post and let me know what you have laying around the house that you would like to try in the new holder!  And you don't have to be a follower of my blog, but why not??
I will choose a winner using random.org on Monday November 21st.  Make sure to only leave one comment and leave a way for me to contact you!  You will have 1 week to contact me back or I will choose another winner!

AND...

We have a GRAND PRIZE for this Blog Hop donated by ContainYa Crafts! You can have YOUR CHOICE of a Scrap'n Tote or a Scrap'n Easel! Each blog in this two day hop has a special letter, and when all of the letters are put together they spell out a secret phrase.

 My letter is . . . . t

Your next stop on the hop is with Kathy's blog at Kathys Cozies.  Hop on by!  Don't forget to start wtih Shawn at Crafty Chics Blog for tomorrows to continue the Disney/Pixar blog hop and more fun!
In case you get lost along the way of this blog hop, here is a list of all the blogs for day 1!

    Wow, Amy ... I didn't know about the new adjustable pen holder for the E2. The Sharpie paint pen did an incredible job on that image. I will definitely check it out!

    Great layout! I only have the E and baby bug, so I don't think the adjustable pen holder would work for me. That's ok - I would LOVE to win the mini gel pen holder! I've been wanting one FOREVER! Thanks for the chance to win!

    Thanks so much, Amy! It was through your blog that I found the hop and have had a great time! I love Disney and there are so many wonderful ideas for ways to celebrate that being shown along the hop!
    I love how you're always adding new ways to make the Cricut more fun to use! I guess I'd like to see if a holder that could take the galaxy markers (you probably have something for that out there - like the new one you have for any marker, but if I could use a holder for that, it'd be really cool...)

    I like the idea of the outlined coloring book image because then you can give them to the kids and let them color them in . . . and that makes them feel like they are a part of the project! Plus, as they grow up you can look back at "This is how you colored when you were younger"

    I recently ordered the engraving and embossing tips and just sold my Sil SD so I can't wait till my CAMEO arrives to use them. I would love to try out the pen holder with colored pencils. I don't think I have ever seen a demo with those. I have some really nice twist up Crayola brand pencils that I think may work out really nice with the adjustable pen holder!

    I'm impressed! Will the new holder fit in the orginal Expression? I sure hope so! I love your layout! It is so adorable! It would be great for my 4 year old nephew. I like the drawing of the figures on the page a lot. Thanks for sharing. I would be delighted with either one of the holders.Do you have a video out yet of the new holder?
