Hello Kitty...Hello Latte...

When it came my turn to "share a project" couple months ago at our Cricut Club meeting, I was lost for ideas and my mind drew a blank. Panic set in the week before the meeting when I still hadn't come up with any ideas. It definitely had to be quick and easy since I wanted to do 17 of them...then I remembered the cute panda post it note holder my pal Patti had sent me a while back. Patti had used a free SVG file shared by Jin of Under A Cherry Tree and her Silhouette to cut her post it note holder. I decided to try something similar, but with Cricut cartridges and Design Studio.

Using Cricut Design Studio and the George cartridge, I welded squares and rectangles for the body of the post it note holder as well as circles and ovals to create Hello Kitty's neck, arms and feet. Hello Kitty cartridge for her head. The original plan was to have them all made and ready for giving, but due to computer technical difficulties, I barely had all the pieces cut in time for the meeting. As a result this project turned into a make and take and everyone had to assemble their own...sorry, ladies!
After the meeting I cut and put together several more of these kitties to donate to my mom's senior citizen group for their craft fair. Lol, she wasn't too pleased with these at first..."what will people do with this?" But she told me later that they sold well...everyone loves Hello Kitty, right?

And finally... (yes, finally) I recently graduated from my dumb phone to a smart phone. Dh decided it was the better way for me to access the internet on my netbook. Well, truthfully, being that I'm not very tech savvy, I was more excited about how I wanted to try decorating my phone with vinyl than learning all the features of my new fangled phone....I tossed around the idea of creating a vinyl Hello Kitty decal to put on the back of my phone but....

...LOL! Instead of "Hello Kitty" I decided to go with "Hello Latte"!
