If you have been following my blog, you will know that my son turned 2 on April 17th. If you want to check out the cute invite I made for him using the stair step fold design and the Toy Story Alien, click here.
This weekend we are throwing a party for him with some family and friends. His absolute favorite is Toy Story and I knew I wanted to make something Toy Story themed for him. For both my kids birthdays I make them a special layout to hang up on the wall in celebration of their birthday. I have a really nice area set up in our kitchen/family room to display scrapbook pages. Here is the layout I made for him:
I still have to find photos of the birthday boy to put on it:-)
Putting together Woody and Buzz was like putting together puzzle pieces but I was soo happy I did it in the end!
I also made this cute banner to hang on our fireplace:
I just love how both these came out! I used the Cricut Toy Story cartridge to cut out the images and Make the Cut to cut out all the letters along with the larger banner pieces. I used my Pink Persimmon Large Banner stamps for the banner on the layout and Stampin UP! Schoolbook Serif Alphabet for the letters on the banner.
Have you heard? The grand prize for this hop is a Gypsy so make sure to start at the beginning to get all the "rules" on how you can win that:-).
I also have some exciting blog candy to give away this weekend. This is a stamp set from Emma over at My Creative Time. Emma makes the cutest projects on her blogs and she just happens to be one of the sweetest people as well. She sells stamps on her blog that are just so cute! This one is called So Grateful For You.
I am offering up two chances to win this. First leave a comment below with a way for me to get a hold of you and if you want a second chance to win, stop by my blog post from yesterday for the Mom's Day hop and leave another comment. I would also love it if you became a follower:-). I will choose a winner Tuesday morning.
You next stop is Kaye at Yesterdays Tomorrow.

Your projects are 2 cute!
Both of your projects turned out great. I wondered if anyone would be brave enough to take on that Buzz figure. Was it as bad as I think? I think he is the most intimidating of all the character cuts I've seen.
