Mickey Shaker Layout

 Introducing this star-dazzling shaker layout!!  That is correct - the shaker is built right into the layout to add that extra magical touch!  

Click on the photo and it will open in a larger window for better viewing of the layout details -- because after all, Disney is all about the magical details right?

My favorite part of the layout is the Mickey head shaker filled with Silver Star Confetti!  While hard to see in the photo, the polka dot rim has a stitched design and the outline of the head and ears are embellished with Diamond Black Stickles!

Part of the title is welded to the overlay itself, however the title could easily be altered by trimming the "a" off and removing the word "place".  I love how easily it is to adapt!

The white circles are photo placement holders.  They are included in the kit to trace and cut pictures to size.  All of the patterned circles, and circle segments, are included in the kit for creating ease.

Additional details include this Silver Star Confetti strip that is on the left page!  So fun to create!  There is a strip of red line tape on a strip of black cardstock.  The film is removed and then the tape is completely covered with Silver Star Confetti.  Such a magical detail!

This layout project is one of my Create and Takes for the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo Red, White and Blue Virtual Event this weekend!  The C&T is just $10 and comes ready to put together.  A You-Tube video will be shared here soon that takes you step by step through the creating process.  The kit may be purchased by clicking here.

Cascading Thin Cut Created Backgrounds

With this layout, I selected to a different approach to the Heart Background Thin Cut and was quite delighted with the end result.  For this layout, I used the background Thin Cut to first cut out the heart pieces and then used the overlay as a template, or stencil if you will, to create a cascading row of the hearts.  I cut the hearts out of both the Silver Foil paper and a piece of paper that I created that was entirely covered with Shimmer Trim.  Then once the cascading piece was complete, I cut the shimmer trim cut background in 1/2 and spilt it around the large photo mats on the right base.  To understand better of how this was achieved, I create a You Tube Video with the step-by-step process:   https://youtu.be/gbOkODoqrdo

This is my original layout design before pictures and flip flaps.

Here is the completed layout with pictures & a Flip Flap.

And here is a second variation using the Flamingo Shimmer Trim.

This is the new Heart Background die that was used to create this layout.

Supplies used:  (Z3366) Silver Foil Paper, (Z3802) Grape Shimmer Trim (or color of your choice), (X6047) Black cs, (Z3680) Heart Background Thin Cut, (1385) White Daisy cs, (Z2060) Thin Foam Tape, (Z341) Mini-Glue Dots, (Z3372) Adhesive Runner.  The current product can be purchased on my website at: www.tonyasheridan.ctmh.com.
