SSPT Challenge-Neapolitan Theme

Guess what??? My daughter earned 1st place for her science project!!! She is so proud.....now she wants her own Cricut so she can cut letters out when she wants.

My project today is for the 2nd challenge at the SSPT blog. The requirements are:

THINK ICE CREAM!

1)Create a project, any project, using a Neapolitan ice cream theme.
2)Use all three colors; chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.
3)Use your favorite flavor as the dominant color in your project.

I made a name plaque for my daugther using the Hello Kitty font. This was the first time I actually cut one of the Disney Princesses. I had fun putting her together except the eyes. (Which now I realize aren't put in correctly) Practice makes perfect. The bird cage is a Cottage Cutz die. TFL.

Minnie Birthday Set

First of all I broke my promise to post one project every other day.....I knew that wouldn't last long! But, I was able to complete this simple but cute Birthday Set. The heart bag was made from a cutfile designed by Jen C in DS. Minnie is from a Cuttlebug Die/Embossing folder set. I also used Martha Stewarts heart punches. TFL.

Bunny Bag

I really love this cute little bunny. I altered this bag from TBBM a little with Design Studio by adding a window for the bunny to peek through. Also, I added the butterfly from Indie Art. Update: I felt this bag was a little too plain for my taste and I shared that thought with my good friend Sandy. She confirmed my suspicion......so I added some text, bling and greenery. Thank you Sandy for giving me your honest opinion. I think it looks much better now!

Apron Goodie Box

Thanks to the Talented & Generous Jen C, I was able to make this cute box. It is too cute to give away. I'm keeping this one for me!

Altered Bank/Bucket Bag/Bookmark

Today I did something that I love to do. I altered something! This container was given to us by our Electric Company with two energy efficient bulbs inside. Once the bulbs are removed it becomes a bank to put all the money that you saved while using the bulbs. I started out with soft colors today and kept that color scheme through all of my projects. Today was my second attempt at using Flower Soft. I didn't use the recommended PVC glue, I just used regular glue. I will be purchasing PVC glue in the near future. The Flower Soft give the projects dimension, but it is hard to tell from the pictures. Every time I try to get a close up picture it comes out horrible. I didn't use any Cricut other than the Bucket purse that was designed by Jen C. I used my DD Cuttle Kids die cuts for the tulip and handbag. I added some bling and beads to wake up the soft colors. (Updated with close ups...although the color of everything changed in the pics>) TFL

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone received what they wanted under the tree. Of course the most important gifts are right in our faces everyday: family and friends. I decided to give Jen C's (hobo) purse a Valentine's Day look. I used the Cuttlebug (paisley) embossing folder and a Martha Stewart border punch. TFL.

Hello Kitty, Again!!!

I'm loving this cart. This will make a cute gift bag for my daughter. I like the fact that you don't have a lot of tiny pieces when you cut Hello Kitty. I have HEA and I have never cut one of the princess's because I don't feel like dealing with the small pieces. Prepare to see more Hello Kitty cuts from me in the near future....I'm addicted. I just ordered the Kello Kitty Font cart. I can't wait to get it.
