The Fantabulous DISNEY-PIXAR BLOG HOP! Nov. 19



Welcome to
Shawn & Melissa's
original and most fantastic
DISNEY PIXAR BLOG HOP!

If you arrived from Tami's blog,
you're on the right path.
To start at the very beginning
-- "a very fine place to start" --
go to Shawn's blog at www.craftychicsblog.blogspot.com.

I am privileged to be one of the bloggers who has been featured on all of the Original Disney Pixar Blog Hops. Thank you to Shawn and Melissa for their fabulous hosting of this well-organized hop-eroo!!

For my project featured today, I created wall art that was donated and hung in the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's "Seashore House" to help celebrate autumn.

Each of these individual character montages is at least 12" x 12", and I made 15 different autumnal scenes. I principally used Cricut's Pooh and Friends cartridge, but adapted the designs to include some sort of fall feature such as pumpkins, apples, and falling leaves.

Here are many of the vignettes taped on a wall that is about 10 feet wide:


...and here are some close-ups:







Now, for some info on MY blog candy.

YES, I have blog candy!  The winner here will receive a set including a Cuttlebug/DISNEY embossing plate and die. I believe this set has been discontinued so it's a must-have for Disney fanatics and available only at CardMonkey!! 

How to win the CardMonkey candy? 

The winner will be chosen at random from those who:
  1. Is or becomes a follower here on the CardMonkey blog;
  2. Leaves a comment on this post answering this question: Which of the autumn vignettes featured above is your favorite, and why?
  3. Includes with his or her comment a way to contact you if you're the winner.
AND fabulously, 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 . . .

Once you have stopped at each blog in the hop and collected all of the letters, simply email the phrase they create to bloghopcontests at gmail dot com

All entries must be in by Midnight on Monday, November 21st. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, November 22nd at http://craftychicsblog.blogspot.com/
Here is the full line up for today!

You did an amazing job on all of the characters! My favorite is Pooh looking at the honey. It' almost as if he's contemplating whether he should put his mouth under the honey. I love how cheery and bright that scene is.

GOPHER is by far my most favorite!!! Why?-- He reminds me of me! Always on the run keeping busy and a little bit lacking in the smarts category! Love him! Always makes me smile when I see him in the Winnie the Pooh movie. :D

Ellen, I love your wall art! I bet it really brightens up the children's day when they see it. My favorite (and it was really hard to pick because they're all so wonderful) is Roo flying the kite because he looks so happy to be doing it and he looks so carefree.

I love this cartridge! And the Pooh font cartridge, more then I thought I would. My favorite vignette of yours is Kanga and Roo together. I love all the Pooh characters but I love the 'mother and child' together, especially for a child's room.
