Toy Story Birthday Party for my Grandson: The Invites

OMG !!! My grandson's 3rd birthday is just around the corner; actually, it is on May 15th !!! We decided that it was going to be a Toy Story theme birthday party. And, I will tell you a secret: when I first went through the Toy Story handbook I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw all the gazillion little pieces for each shape. I have had the cartridge for some months now, but was afraid to use it !!! LOL Today I must say, I conquered my fears !!! YAY !!! And it was all thanks to my Cricut Imagine machine !!!
With the Imagine, all you have to do is put a piece of 12x12 white cardstock on the mat, select all the pieces you need for your image and,  color each piece needed right there !!! There is no need of picking the right color cardstock, cutting it to the right size and laying it on the mat !!! This machine is a big time saver. I love it !!!!!!!!!

• RECIPE:
• cartridges:
• Toy Story- for Woody and frame shapes
• Blast Off- used to give colors and patterns to the shapes cut
• cardstock: American Crafts (white cardstock); kraft
• Choose shape, print and color the parts, ensemble.

• Glue Woody shape onto card base. Glue the frame onto the card base.

And, there you go !!! Baby Santiago's first b-day invite is done !!!! Isn't it the cutest thing ??? I wonder how many more to go ??? hmmmm.... I know I will be very busy this week ! LOL See you next Saturday !

Altered Binder for Baby Santiago's Day Care - Imagine Blast Off cartridge

Hi again!!! A few days ago, my daughter asked me if I could decorate a binder for my grandson Santiago's new Day Care. I was in a hurry, so I picked up some white cardstock and went to work with my Cricut Imagine. I used Blast Off Imagine cartridge for most all of the project, except for the balloons, cat and dog, that were cut from Imagine More Imagine cartridge. I had lots of fun making this project. :)

This is a view of the back of the binder:
