With Sizzix in hand, Jenn created this awesome layout documenting her trip to the Botanical Gardens.

Jenn used the Hello Kitty Corner Flower Sizzlit to adorn each corner of her layout. The title was cut using her Silhouette and the Postcard Portfolio. That border compliments her pictures perfectly!

Speaking of Hello Kitty, Jenn created this cute, cute card...

She used the Hello Kitty Sitting with Bow and Shoes. The background was embossed using the Sizzix Texture Plates set #19 and the sentiment is from the Quickutz Basic Phrases Cookie Cutter set. Jenn used her Cool Grey 3 Copic marker to create the shadows on Hello Kitty. This card would be perfect for any little girl's birthday!

I too have been playing with the new Hello Kitty dies. I used my Scor-Pal to create this simple 4x4" basket.

I used the Sizzlits Decorative Easter Eggs Strip to create the bottom border and the Hello Kitty with Bunny Costume as my main image. I outlined the grass and Hello Kitty were colored the eggs with my Copic markers. To create the border on the plastic egg I simply cut a strip from the Sizzlits Loops with Hearts and Bows Decorative Strip and trimmed it to fit just around the egg under the seam where it snaps together. Then I cut one of the bunnies from the Hello Kitty Bunnies and Chicks die, put a tiny bow around it's neck and adhered it to the strip. My daughter hasn't put this basket down!

Veronica used her Boss Kut dies to create this great layout!

The title, which translates to Summer Fun at the Beach, was cut with the Licorice Stick font. Veronica also used the Wave Border, the Sand Pail and the Starfish. Here's a closeup view of the Wave Border and Starfish...

Such a great layout!
