Enjoy The Puddles!

Yesterday I was shopping in Hobby Lobby and found this cute figurine to sit on my desk in my craft room. I love the sentiment written on it.

"Every Path Has It's Puddles So I Wear Cute Rain Boots"

I was inspired to make a card that is dedicated to my new figurine.

Here it is! I had to put Hello Kitty on there. She always makes me smile!

Life has it's ups and downs but sometimes we have to handle the "puddles" of difficulties with a little laughter. I will have to save this one and give it to someone who needs a little encouragement.

I finally cut my own chipboard letters for this one with my Cricut. I glittered them up to add some extra shine. Sometimes when you cut chipboard the edges will be a bit rough. To smooth out the edges and give your letters more dimension you should sand the edges. I used a sanding block on mine.

Card Ingredients:

Hello Kitty cut with my Cricut using Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge

Flower in Hello Kitty's hair cut with my Cricut using Forever Young cartridge

The Paper Studio printed paper

It's Hello Kitty Time

All of my friends know that I am the ULTIMATE Hello Kitty fan. I have even designed a paperbag scrapbook album dedicated to this pink diva.

Designing scrapbook layouts on a paperbag album is a lot of fun. Before I design with paper bags, I sew them together to make them more durable.  I also add a variety of embellishments, photo mats, and journaling spots to add fun and dimension to my layouts. I also make coordinating tags that fit into the pockets of the album.

For this particular albums I used products from A Cherry On Top. They carry a nice selection of Hello Kitty scrapbook supplies. I also used the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge. With poses, phrases, accessories, and icons, this shape cartridge is perfect for adding some fun to your scrapbook pages.

I added a few finishing touches with embellishments from a great company called My Mind's Eye.  They have a variety of embellishments for just about any theme. I hope you guys like my Hello Kitty Diva Girl Album.

While browsing the web I found several other H.K. items. These are sure to make Hello Kitty fans smile! Please be sure to check out these wonderful creations when you get a moment.

Calling All Things Cute and Quirky

I'm a big fan of cute, quirky, and unusual characters. One of my favorite characters is from Etsy seller E. Jayne H. Creations. She is a designer living in the U.K. and she loves to "create random treasures to amuse herself."

One of her cute characters is called "Good Teeth McNashers"

This big tasty apple likes to show off his perfect teeth with a big grin. It's different, it's adorable, and it makes you SMILE when you look at it.

I also love traditional characters like "Hello Kitty".  I have a scrapbook album in my online store that is lovingly dedicated to the "Little Diva"!  Check it out if you are a fan like me!

Do you have a unique character that you sell online?
