Hello Kitty

It's April.  Which means Spring should be in full swing.  NOT!  It's been extremely slow going here in Ontario.  We get one lovely day of 15 degrees Celsius followed by -12 degrees Celsius and flurries!  Not impressed.

Anyway, as usual, things around here are busy.  Getting orders filled, showcasing our work for an open house and Birthday parties.  Breathe.

Hello Kitty seems to be a big deal these days although my little Emma has loved her forever.  Her 4th b-day party was Hello Kitty themed (HERE).  So passing on the love, I decided to make a bunch of these cuties for some special little girls out there :)

Stationary Box Set

Hiyeeee :D

It's about 10:30p here and figured what better way to get tired than to stare at the puter for a couple of hours LOL

So here I go!
I put this stationary box together....yes....for the up and coming bazaar (It seems to be taking over my life!) Kept them simple and blank on the inside to allow versatility. The butterfly was cut with the cricut but the layer didn't work out with the details being sooooo small. I didn't want to chuck out all the cuts so I improvised and used the best layer that cut and stenciled it in with an American Crafts Broad tip White Pen (Milky Way). I see these templates everywhere but I found mine HERE

I'm diggin the way they turned out :)

And you know me, I love a challenge, so I entered a few...............
