49er Tutu

 For Sofia's first birthday I made two tutus.  A pink one in the pink hello kitty theme, and a 49er tutu. I just LOVE how the 49er tutu came out. And she just looked adorable in it!

 My sister-in-law found a Niner onesie, so I didn't need to find a wide red headband, the short one worked out really well.  And I added some 49er ribbon so that there would be no mistaking it for anything else.

 Here she is trying on her pink tutu.  It's came out really fluffy!

 The back side of the tutu.  It's really fluffy!!

I just love her ballerina pose.

Sofia's first Birthday

 Here is what the Hello Kitty Medallions looked like at Sofia's birthday party.  I got the idea from my friend Debi Boring who did these medallions for her niece's baby shower.  I thought they'd look perfect for my niece's first birthday party.  So with the Hello Kitty theme, I made the medallions for the decorations.

 I used the Cricut Storybook cartridge to cut the letters, and it was a Zebra/pink theme.  And I found this great basket at Target on sale to put them in.  Also, Walmart had the cute Hello Kitty bank and lamp. (Of course I kept those cause they're just so dang cute!!

 Close up of the Sofia medallions.

 We had the party out at the ranch in the grass arena area, it worked out really well cause they also had a jumpy house and played volleyball which was really fun.  :)

I also used the cricut pretty pennants projects cartridge to cut out the pennants.  It just went with the theme of the party.  Also used the Martha Stewart Circle Edge Punch to make the large doilies.  Have I said how much I loved the Circle Edge Punch??  That thing is so cool!

Hello Kitty Medallions

 Soon it is going to be Miss Sofia's First Birthday.  And we're having a Hello Kitty party for her!  Can you tell I'm excited.  I LOVE Hello Kitty.  I mean LOVE Hello Kitty.  I've been in love with Miss Kitty since I was a little girl and we went to our first Sanrio Store in Union Square where I bought my first teeny tiny set of colored pencils because OMG, how can you not love Hello Kitty and anything miniature.  LOL

 So when Heather decided to have Hello Kitty as the theme of Sofia's party, can you imagine me jumping up and down for joy.  So I got out my Hello Kitty Cricut cartridge, and started cutting little Hello Kitty heads.   So pictured are some of the decorations we'll be using for the party.  I am in love with making Medallions, and using the Martha Stewart Circle cutter, circle edge cutter, and just punches in general.  I have a circle cutter, can't remember the brand, but it doesn't hold a candle to Martha's cutter.  There is still an issue of the cutter slipping a bit when you use it, but the handle for the cutter is better, love that you can store the tips in the handle, and using it with a glass mat is WAY better than a self-healing mat.

 I also used those sticky jewels to put on the medallions cause they have to be shiny!  :)

 Just having too much fun playing with the different circle combinations, it's fun to make different pieces and to see how it all gets put together.

 I think I'll be cutting banners tomorrow.  This is too much fun, making party decorations for a little girl.  I'm not one to be all poofy and fluffy, but I love making poofy and fluffy for her.  :)
