Hello Kitty Shirt

I found some heat set vinyl and made this cute shirt for my grand-daughter. She absolutely loves it and I will be making more for her!!!!




Recipe:
Hello Kitty Silhouette cut at 4"

Sorry the second picture is a bit blurry. She was so excited about her "cat cat" shirt that she just couldn't stand still long enough for me to get a good picture.

Thanks for looking,
Melissa

GIFT BAGS




Recipe:
The images on the gift bags were cut from Car Decals. Sorry, I can't seem to find the piece of paper where I wrote down what sizes I cut these out at. Hopefully I will come across it when I clean up the craft room.

WIPE CASE




Recipe:
Circles cut from George at various sizes from .25" to 1.5"
Name cut at 1.75" from Nursery Rhymes

I also made a little name banner to put across the front of the gift table, but I didn't get a picture of it. I will have to check to see if anyone else did. I will post it later if I can find one.

Whew .... time to clean up the craft room so I can start on my next projects!

Thanks for looking,
