Hello Kitty-- See my new "do"!!!

Thursday will be the last day for our PM Secretary, Ann, in the ER where I work.
She is retiring after 35 years!! She is a Hello Kitty FANATIC!!! I found this free digi download at http://www.hellokitty.com/. It was actually a whole coloring page, but I just used the main image.
I found a bunch of Hello Kitty stuff at Target in the $1 isle, including this bag. I filled it with the goodies, plus a Halloween jar filled with her favorite, Candy Corn. I found a cute little Hello Kitty stuffed toy too!
I colored the image with Prismacolor markers, and used my new Crop-A-Dile to attach an eyelet to the inside so that I could hang the Hello Kitty Ribbon.
She does not know it, but there was a collection taken up and we got enough money to send her to New Zealand for 5 weeks in Nov-Dec to see her daughter and 3 grandchildren. Her daughter has lived there for 11 years, and she has not even seen the 2 youngest kids yet!!
I'm sure she will be very surprised!!! Well, I went and had my hair cut and colored today! How do you like my PURPLE Streak??
I Love it!!

How do you like the PURPLE walls?? This is our bedroom!!
PLEASE sign my GUESTBOOK at the bottom of the BLOG, so that I can see where all of my visitors are from. Thank you!!!!

Secret Sister #4 Unusual Fold card

Image
Here is my Secret Sister Challenge #4. We were to make a card with an unusual fold.  I'm not sure what this fold is called. I have made it before, but this time seemed a bit more challenging!!  I hope you can tell that it is PURPLE!!   I hope my SS likes it.  I did emboss the flowers, sponged around the edges and added bling! She does like bling!! The paper is SU Lavendar Lace, and Gina K Vibrant Purple. I used Stephanie Barnard's the Stamps of Life , Thanks 2you, for the flowers, and Banners 4all for the "hi". This is the partially opened position. I added 2 Primas and a rhinestone brad. This is the open position. I hope my SS likes this one. I LOVE the colors myself!!! Here are the dimensions if you would like to try the card yourself. 1.Cut an 8-1/2 x 11 peice of cardstock in half lengthwise. 2.Score at the dimensions marked. Here is what it looks like when scored. I cut the contrasting color 1/8" smaller.  This card has a circle tha...
