Now how about a cute project? My daughter was in LOVE with Mickey Mouse when the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse first came out! She would hear the song come on the TV and run into the room to watch! So I thought it would be fun to document that!
You may notice I am using my Silhouette Cameo for this project, and you may think to yourself, but there is no Mickey in the downloads!??!! Well that is ok! I found some Mickey Mouse ears, opened them in Silhoutte Studio and then traced them! I used the Chomas Creations engraving tip in the Silhouette Cameo to etch the Mickey ears as my background on Core'dinations Black Magic cardstock (the color on the back was white) to get this look. I used my pressure on 33, speed on 8 and double cut.
I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with a Paper Mate Flair (like a felt tip pen) to do the journaling on this page using some of the Lettering Delights new thin fonts. I used my speed on 6 and my pressure on 6.
The title was done with a Minnie font I downloaded from dafont.
Here is my page all put together with my Mickey loving princess! I also cut out the Mickey ears and layered them on the page and added ribbon.
So how about your chance to win one of the Chomas Creations adjustable holders? Leave a comment on what you would try with either the Chomas Creations adjustable holders for the Silhouette Cameo or Cricut! You don't have to be a follower of this blog, but why not? One chance per person please. I need a way to contact you! I'll draw a winner around Wednesday.

I love that Piglet and Pooh card that you posted yesterday! Since my girls will be having a birthday party with Pooh as the theme I will definitely have to try that. Your projects are great and I love the backgrounds on your LOs.
I adore your layout Amy!!! Love that you can use your tool for journaling. Everytime I see one of your projects you always have new ideas on how to use your holders. I have to get one so I can try it with my cricut.

Beautiful job on your layout! I am new to the Cameo cutting and still trying to figure it all out. If I had these holders I think journaling would be great but so hard to choose because the pictures and ... everyting done with the pens has been great.

So fabulous and creative and who doesn't love Mickey Mouse! Great page.
I would love one of the adjustable holders for my Cricut but I only have an original baby and an E. Guess I could have my husband cut off a stylus to fit.
I'd love to give a try at making backgrounds.
Thanks for sharing.

I love your layout!! I am very new to the Cameo, having had it less than a month, but I am learning fast what all this fantastic machine can do. I have been checking out all your products and wishing hard, but have to do some saving first, so thank you so much for a chance to win this. Hugs, Pam

I always love seeing what you create with your pens and engraving tools!!! Love the idea of engraving the colored cardstock with a white core!!! I love my Chomas pens and pen holder, but now I am thinking of everything I can do with the engraver.....
lori.apgar @ gmail dot com
ENGRAVER???! Oh my, what a great idea -- and I had no idea I could do that with my (new) Cameo. I'm going to have to look into your products more. I have one of your pen holders and pen sets for my Cricut, but I don't think they're the same as for the Cameo, correct? Will definitely spend more time looking -- your layout is simply stunning!! thank you for sharing this technique with us. I so enjoy the cutting features of both my Cameo and Cricut, that I usually forget that I can draw too. GREAT ... and thank you for joining us on this hop!!

I don't do much journaling on my LO because I hate my handwriting so much. It never occurred to me to do this. What a great idea and wonderful results.

I love the way you did the background. I have a cricut and haven't even hardly used the markers but that is just quite amazing. rlovew1976@yahoo.com
Love your layout! I need to get some of those thin fonts!
I recently purchased the Chomas marker holder and would love the pen holder too. What a great idea to make background paper, I wouldn't have thought to do that. These tools along with my Silhouette Cameo replaces tons of things in my craft room. Linda
Oh my how I just love your layout!!! I have a cameo but sad to say the only thing I have done with is cut out cut from silhouette store. I so need to learn all the neat thing I could do with it. I would love to win chomas creations adjustable holders and scrap lift your beautiful background paper. Thank You for sharing and hope you don’t mind if I scraplift. Thank you also for a chance to win some very cool blog candy. Disneynut 4 life 22 at yahoo dot com
