Flaunt It Friday's Hello Kitty Blog Hop

Hello Welcome to the Flaunt It Friday's Hello Kitty Blog Hop. If you are here from STACEY  then you are in the right spot. If you just arrived here and would like to start from the beginning please go directly to Flaunt It Friday's Blog. For this week's challenge we were asked to flaunt the Hello Kitty with Airplane on Page 65 from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cartridge.

For my project I used left over paper I had printed when I had my Friducha. Font is from the Cherry Lemeade Lite Cart, they read "bienvenido papi" which translates to Welcome Daddy. I created this LO because my hubby is in Mexico right now and I can just see my daughter's face when she sees her papi when he arrives on Sunday!



I also created second project using the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. 






For this project I used my Cri-Kit pens and created a little coloring book for my daughter and I used the Bind-It-All to put it together. The ribbon (the cutest!!!) I think I got at Walmart.

AND I promise just one more thing!!! I have to share a couple of cakes I did back in June and September using the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge.





What is a Blog Hop without candy??? Well, how about a Cricut Cake Apron!!!
Make sure you leave a comment on this post! and I do not require you to become a follower, but don't forget to come back and check on Monday if you are the winner of this awesome apron!!!
