Flaunt It Fridays Blog Hop

Hi everyone!!!!!  I'm so glad you stopped by!  I hope you came by for the Flaunt It Fridays Hello Kitty Blog Hop.  I'm so excited! If you are here from visiting Jen @ Honeybean Creations than you are in the right spot; if you just happened to stop here first make sure you start from the beginning please go to the Flaunt It Friday's.  For this week's challenge we were asked to flaunt the Hello Kitty with Airplane on Page 65 from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cart.

Unfortunately I do not own the Hello Kitty Greetings cart (although according to my daughter it is one I 'have to ask Daddy to get' so that I can make projects for her).  For my first project I made a hair band holder for my daughters' hair things.  Her hair has a mind of it's own and so we're always running around trying to find her hair things at the last minute (usually right before the bus gets to our house for school).

The kitty is from Create a Critter and the 'airplane' is actually the rocket ship from Paper Doll Dress Up.  The ribbon at the top is so that my little girl can hang it on the wall or the door handle; and the ribbon at the bottom holds a open metal ring (you'll see in the picture below) that we purchased with some hair bands.  

 For the 'airplane' I cut the rocket ship out twice (once in a reddish color and once with the flowers).  I cut the shell top and the exhaust off of the red one and the shell top, exhaust, wing, and front off of the flower one so that they could layer.

I used a small box lid (my Mother-in-law had sitting around) for the sign.  I measured the box and added in the sides so that it covered the five sides (front and four edges).  I used Mod Podge to hold the paper to the box lid.  I made sure to cut the side so that I had flaps to glue down (made it look nicer).

I Mod Podged the kitty and 'airplane' to the front (leaving room for my daughters' name in the top right corner).  I hole punched two holes in the top and bottom, and put brads in for the ribbons to go through.

 Here's a picture of the back.  I left the bottom ribbon long because I can add any cute hair clips to it as well (if we ever find them again - or when we have to go buy more). :)

I did Mod Podge the whole front of it, I'm sure most people wouldn't have to but my little ones aren't exactly 'soft' to things I make.  They think because it's homemade it's indestructible. :)  At least they have faith in me. :)

For my second project we got to choose any cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings, again, since I don't own the cartridge I decided to use Create a Critter.  I saw that the Hello Kitty Greetings cart had a cut of just the face on page 29 (super cute), so I cut the cat from Create a Critter and cut off the rest of the body to make it look similar.

I cut the cat at 4.5 so that the face fit the card perfectly.  I used a MS border punch for the pink paper and a My Pink Stamper stamp for the Purr-fect.  Sorry about the glare on the bow, I used the Xyron technique (click here for my step-by-step directions) and the Gossy Accents really made it shine. :)

Remember - you must leave a comment on every one's blog to have a chance to win the Grand Prize Giveaway which is the Love Always stamp set sponsored by Pink By Design. The grand prize will be on Sandra's blog! You will have all weekend to complete the hop and we will draw the winner sometime on Monday or Tuesday.
