An easy project to make a little girl very happy

This week I invited my boys' counsins over for a sleepover.  We had an amazing time.  While they were here I had the pleasure of having some rare (in my life) girl time.  As I have two little boys, I don't have much experience with how to entertain a little girl.  Well, she was just in awe of my pink craft room full of glitter and markers and toys.  So, we made a quick and easy project together.  As she is only seven, I did most of the work, but she picked the image to cut, the papers to use, picked her giltter and ribbon colors.  I know she was thrilled and I was thrilled to have some girl time.



The Hello Kitty was cut at 7 inches, using the base shaddow layer for the black.  We added glitter to the eyes, and she choose a blue nose.  We added a bit of bling to make hello kitty even more girlie! I used my crop-a-dile to add two small holes and attached ribbon and a bow.
