Now to the projects!
I don't get snow where I live unless we get lots of rain and head to the Mountains. So when I heard about this hop I knew exactly what I wanted to create, a Frozen themed layout using my new Frozen Cricut Cartridge. I am thrilled with how it turned out but let me just say it took days of cutting and piecing. I had blade issues, I had mat issues, I screamed and cussed at my Explore like never before. You will be glad to know everything is better now and we have made up and are friends again! LOL! So here it is, my pride and glory... I hope you enjoy it!
I used lots of glitter paper for the snowflakes, title, and the borders. It cut fairly easy in the Cricut but wore the blade down. My suggestion is save one blade for just glitter cardstock.
Elsa is gorgeous! Her top gave me all kinds of headaches. It just would not cut the details out. I finally changed the blade, the mat, and set the pressure to intricate and boom!! A perfect cut!
The snowflakes details are amazing to me. I love that the Explore was able to cut out all those fine lines.
Olaf is super cute and was honestly the easiest part of this layout.
My final touch was adding the sequins around the pages. It gives it just the right sparkle!
I am glad I made two of them! Next time should be easier now that I know what to expect!

ReplyDeleteAlicia
Yes Alicia, you need to get with it! LMAO! cute movie, but glad I have boys so watching it 2x was plenty for them! haha!
Deletewow, those are some great details on your layouts TFS love it
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!!! I also love the placement of your bling. It looks as if Elsa is tossing up a bluish snowball! Great job. And yes... I agree on the headache. I've been opting to glue and glitter things, rather than cut out glitter paper...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout!!
ReplyDeleteSoooooo pretty! My Godchild would love this. She is having a Ice (as she calls it) Birthday party this year! I have this cart but haven't tried it yet. Now that I know what to expect, I'll give it a go!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteTotally love this, I know my granddaughter would love to have this in her room!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great detail... Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout! I find it amazing how Frozen is still so popular! Love that Olaf!
ReplyDeleteI can't stand Frozen. There, I said it. That being said though, this is a wonderful layout. I love, love, love the snowflakes and sparkle!
ReplyDeleteConnie your layout is so beautiful I love all the details.
ReplyDeleteAmazing layout Connie. Totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteConnie, I love, love, Love your frozen layout! I thought I was the only one who yells at machine. 😜
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE this layout! Perfect for the weather at my house!
ReplyDeleteWow! Super fabulous layout it should be framed!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't give up. Great project!
ReplyDeleteAnd your efforts paid off! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am not a scrapbooker, but your layout is precious. Any little girl who loved Frozen will be in love with this scrapbook page.
ReplyDeleteGreat layout Connie. I made Olaf before, cutting and piecing him together was quite a workout :-) Did you cut the girls and glue the part or was it a print and cut file? If you glued the piece...heads up you did an awesome job
ReplyDeleteYour looks amazing. I just saw Frozen 2 is in the make. Fun!
ReplyDeleteHoly labor of love Connie! Your layout came out beautiful! I would have cheated and did print/cut! lmao!
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable scrapbook pages Connie.
ReplyDeleteAstounding cards, well worth the heartache.
ReplyDeleteI love your 2 pg layout! It makes me wanna watch Frozen! Sorry about your Cricut problems, but I'm glad you were able to get it done! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully detailed layout - isn't technology the worst and the best at the same time! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layouts!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I will have to look into the frozen cartridge!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great layout with just the right amount of detail. I discovered the intricate cut a few months ago and it has really saved me sometimes, especially with some black paper.
ReplyDeleteWow the detail is great! I can see why it would take time but the layout looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable layout!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR HOPPING WITH ME.
