Hello Kitty Birthday Blog Hop

Aloha and welcome to our Hello Kitty Birthday Blog Hop!  It's Cely's birthday at Hawaii Paper Party and we're all celebrating by making Hello Kitty or birthday themed projects!  You should have arrived from Kelly at Possibilities in Pink blog, but if you've stumbled on this blog hop, please go back to Cely's blog at Hawaii Paper Party so you don't miss out on all the fun! 

We are huge Hello Kitty fans in my house!  With 3 girls, how couldn't we be!  The Hello Kitty carts are the ONLY cartridges I've ever paid full price for.  I couldn't wait and bought them the second I saw them on the store shelf!  I am drawn to anyone who uses the fabulous Hello Kitty Cartridges so naturally, the day I stumbled across Cely's Blog, I knew we would be great bloggy friends! 

I have two projects to show you today.  My first project is just a very simple Hello Kitty layout for your inspiration!  The second project is Cely's Birthday card so no peeking at that one Cely ; ) 

The title is cut from Hello Kitty Fonts and the HK's are from Hello Kitty Greetings.  These pictures were taken over the course of a day while the girls were on a wild Hello Kitty Adventure.  They had a snow day (even though a snowflake hadn't fallen yet that morning) but by afternoon they were building snowkitties!  Unfortunately, their Jeep doesn't have 4 wheel drive..hehe! 

Here is the close-up of HK and her narration of events!  I love how easily the Hello Kitty characters go together with this cart!

I couldn't resist a huge HK head on this LO.  You can't see it that well in the pics, but it matches Oldest E's hat perfectly!

Close up of the title and my doodling on the border.   I used my Gypsy to weld the shadow letters together for the title then faux stitched it.  All the paper on this is Stampin' Up!

Now, for Cely's Birthday Card.  What is a Birthday Blog Hop without a card for the Birthday Girl!!  I wish I had gotten this in the mail before I left for vacation but I never made it to the Post Office.  It will be a little late so close your eyes Cely!  I hope she likes it!

This Hello Kitty is one of my favs!  She makes such a cute butterfly!  She is cut from the HK Fonts cartridge out of Stampin' Up! paper.  The background paper is My Minds Eye which I found for an awesome price at Shop Pumpkin Spice!

The "Celebrate" sentiment is from a WRMK stamp set called Maple Grove.  The "Happy Birthday" stamp and Pink Sorbet Baker's Twine are from My Craft Spot!

Speaking of My Craft Spot, who wants some Blog Candy!  I am giving away a special set of Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot!  Honestly, the first time I saw this Pajama Party Set, I immediately knew it was meant for Hello Kitty!!  I don't know what it is, but the colors Black, White, and Pink scream HELLO KITTY to me!
