Pippa's Magic Party

Pippa's Magic Party was created using the Pippa Bella embellishment from the Cupie-ology Line, Lisa Kettell Designs, in addition to scrapbook paper, chipboard frame and butterfly wings from K & Co.

This is the perfect embellishment to enhance any scrapbook or craft project. Each embellishment is flat backed making it ideal for gluing to project bases. Pippa Bella is sold in a pack of 2 and pack of 5. She is available in a few colors and with the paper cone hat (hat patterns vary).
 
Pippa's Magic Party is a simple scrapbook project, you can further enhance into a variety of styles and themes such has tags, party banners, assemblages, cake toppers and page layouts, so many possibilities with my product line.
