Toy Story on Ice 2 Page Layout

Hello everyone - this is Amy with redwolfscraps.  Thank you again Pam for allowing me to be a designer.  I have been doing a lot of layouts - but must admit I havent been using my Gypsy or Cricut very much :-(  This past fall I bought tickets to Disney on Ice - Toy Story 3 for my son, my 2 brothers and myself (it was a suprise that both my brothers were coming to visit at the same time!!) - So of course I had to get the Toy Story cartridge :-)  I have many pics of the event - and lots of layout plans - but here is the first one.

Here's the cartridge:

I took some of my sons army men and matched them up with my American Crafts Cardstock.

I preplanned my layout on my Gypsy - but after a cutting mishap with the large army man (layers werent scaled the same, and clock was a tickin') you will see my final design is modified.

I make a new layer and layout all of the base layers

and another Layer for all of the layered pieces.  This way I can cut everything out of the color I need in one run.  The pieces were slightly larger than 6" or I would have cut all of them on the same mat.

Here's the finished 2 page layout -

Detailed Photos - Title...I used some brighter cardstock and then took my white gel pen and doodled some hightlights. - PS If you dont have the uni-ball Signo broad pens - you need to make the investment.  I had picked up the white one on a whim at Archivers and LOVE it!  So yesterday I picked up the silver and gold at Michaels with the 25% off coupon!

The army men are layered and then all of the cricut cuts were highlighted with white.  I did the journaling with the silver.  I think the layout turned out very cute - cant wait to get my other characters together, but that is going to take some quality time with my cricut :-)

I hope you enjoyed the layout.  Thanks again Pam!
