you're on the right path.
To start at the very beginning
-- "a very fine place to start" --
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?

I like Eeyore. He is sleeping while everyone else is having fun. Too funny. Love them all though. jrredrose21 at yahoo dot com
Love your wall design. Amazing of you to create and donate to the Children's hospital. I liked many of them, but thought Roo liked like he was having so much fun flying the kite...kids would love that.
Mine is the Eeyore one. But I have special spot for Eeyore he has to be my favorite character.

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.

Ellen, you should feel VERY proud to have done such a generous, awesome project for them. I love Eyore since he is always sleepy and that's the way I feel when I am up at night crafting! I don't have that cartridge but it looks terrific. Thanks for sharing all your great work.

Thunk... that's the sound of my chin hitting the floor. Ellen, this is fabulous! I can only wonder at how long it took to put together. My favorite is the Winnie studying the beehive.
Great stuff! I love all of them. I bet the baby loves them too. My favorite is the one where Tigger is bouncing in front of that fence. So cute!
Be Blessed, Beckie

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.
Sorry, I forgot to leave my email:
