Hello out there in the virtual world!
So a good cricut friend of mine got me to sign up for a swap that she was joining on the DisBoards. I kept telling myself no, but before I knew it I was signed up for not one, but 3 groups..... ooops. Well with me and procrastinating, busy life and making some over complicated elements it took me a while. I am happy with the results and hope the group likes them. I think they are cute but don't know what the group expects since it is my first Dis Board swap. Well.... I guess I should stop talking about it and get to the fun part, the pics.
This Swap group is done for a pin trading themed group. The big Mickey mouse is an element paper pieced with Mickey and it says pin trading around the world around the outside.
Then on the journaling boxes and photo mats I kept it simple, yet complicated. (Make sense, lol!) I cut out the outside of the characters with my blade and then put in the gel pen and drew the characters. Then, after it was sitting for a while I used my Copics and colored in the image. They were then just added onto a silver circle in order to try to give it a little more of a "pin" look.
Here I have my swaps for my Toontown themed swap. I created the title using my Gypsy and trying to overlap the letters in a way that resembled the same layering as the original signs at the parks.
Here is a close-up of the title. The background of the title and the photo corners are created with some "homemade" paper that I created using a photo program and clip art.
My final swap was a "Snack Time" theme. This one was my first project and I must say I got sucked into the details. The popcorn is made out of tiny Mickey heads that I inked up.
Thanks so much for coming by! Sorry I know this post was picture heavy but I have been a busy lady. Have a wonderful crafty week and I will be back on soon with some fun projects. Happy Crafting!
