Another Hello Kitty party


Happy Memorial Day everyone! Just adding this to my collection of Hello Kitty party favors and centerpieces. Had to make this set for a sweet customer named Jen from Hilo. Her daughter is having her 3rd birthday soon and she ordered these from me. I just shipped them out and I hope she likes how they turned out. Sorry the picture isn't a good one but by the time I finished I had to pack them up and ship them off for them to get to her in time. I only had two weeks to make 80 favors and 15 centerpieces. Ususlly two weeks is ample time but not when you have other orders to do at the same time! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your Memorial weekend!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everyone! I hope you all had the opportunity to spend this day with all of your loved ones. I was in such a rush to go to lunch with my mom that I forgot to take a picture of the card I made her. This is a card I made for a dear friend of mine.

Have a beautiful week!!!

Happy Girl's Day!!!!

Happy Girl's Day everyone!!!

As promised, here are the Girl's Day treats I made for my children's teachers. Once again I used one of the adorable stamps from Hero Arts Four Dolls set.
The box is a simple take out box. I know take out boxes are normally for Chinese food and Girl's Day is a Japanese tradition but I thought it matched the Asian theme anyway.

Well, it's been a long day and I'm awfully sleepy so I won't drag this post any longer.
Have a beautiful day ladies!

Girl's Day Treats

Okay, as promised here are the Girl's Day treats I made for my daughter's friends. I used the tutorial shown here for the box. This box was so simple to make and it only uses one 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of cardstock! I used the Four Dolls images from Hero Arts again. There are three other girls in this cute set but this little cutie is my favorite!
Here is what the box looks like opened. It's filled with Japanese candy.

I'll be making something different for her teachers so I'll post those tomorrow.

Ciao!

Simplicity


This will just a quick post today. Every Sunday my family comes over for a family dinner and they will be here shortly.

With Girl's Day coming up this week, I just wanted to share a simple card that I made for a dear friend of mine. I had these "Four Dolls" stamps by Hero Arts for the longest time and have finally inked them up for the first time. I wanted to keep it sweet and simple and I love how it came out.

I'll be back tomorrow with Girl's Day treats I made for my daughters friends using the same stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Kitty Baby Shower


Back in December I threw my sister (the one in the pink) a Hello Kitty themed baby shower. Sorry to be posting the photo's so late but you know how things go.

Anyhow, my sister wasn't too much into the Kello Kitty thing but I figured since she didn't have a theme and Hello Kitty is so girly and cute, why not! Thank God she loved how everything turned out.


Here is the invitation, favors and centerpiece.
This is the gift I made her. Got this cute basket from Ross and stuffed it full of goodies.
Instead of the traditional cake, I wanted to do something prettier and easier to serve. So I made this cupcake tower. My daughter baked all the cupcakes and they were delish! I think this came out really cute!
Here is her cake table along with all of the prizes we had for baby shower games. Of course I had to make a custom Hello Kitty box for each one! To make the table more pretty of course! LOL!
Here is my beautiful niece Mekayla. She was born on January 8th. Isn't she just adorable!

Thanks for stopping by, have a fab weekend!

A Shutt-erfly Valentine

Happy Saturday friends! Sorry I forgot to post this last night. I had some of my son's football friends over for a sleep over and things were a little crazy over here! They are really good boys but you can imagine how loud it can get when they are all having fun!

Anyhow, on to today's project.

I just love the template "shutt-erfly" from Lauren Meaders new store called My Time Made Easy. I used kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink to make the box. I just love how sturdy that card stock is. I wanted the red and black to really stand out so I left the decorating to a minimum. Sometimes simple can be so beautiful.
The image is from The Greeting Farm. I used the body of Stella and the head of Ruby. I just love all the new stamps Marie has been coming out with. Make sure you stop by her store on February 15th as she will be releasing a brand new line of Sprouts called the Cheeky Cherry Collection. If you haven't seen these girls yet, go check them out on her blog. They are so dang cute!!!

I made my box a little different from the actual template. I made it so that the top was removable so that the recipient wouldn't have to rip the box open. This box is a pretty good size too, I filled this one with a whole bag of those Dove chocolate hearts and as you can see, it didn't reach the top. I could have easily added another half bag.

Thanks for stopping by!
