Hand Over the Toys

I got a new Cricut Cartridge "Toy Story" and had to play with it.  Let me tell you it is a difficult cartridge.  It took me over 4 hours to create Wood and Jessie.  I didn't touch the layout again for about 2 weeks.  I dont know but the second page total time was about 2-2 1/2 hours so it wasn't that bad.  There are a lot of intricate pieces.  I learned for the very small pieces to use markers or pens.  I wanted to try this layout first then I have one I want to make my grandson for his walls using it.  That will be my project for this weekend.
