CDD Linky Party "Mother's Day"

Time for a new linky party over at Craftin Desert Divas. 

This time the theme is "Mother's Day"

One lucky winner will get a stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas.

One lucky winner will get a $25.00 gift certificate for regular priced files from Too Cute by Jessica.

Here is my project for the linky party -

I made a box card using a file from the Silhouette online store.  My papers are from 2 different Doodlebug 6x6 stacks - "Hello Spring" and "Kraft in Color - Color".  I chose a sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas "Happy Celebrations" stamp set.  This is a fabulous stamp set to have in your collection as there is a sentiment for almost every major occasion you can think of!!

Here is my card all folded up -

You can purchase this stamp set HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today!!
Don't forget to link up your "Mother's Day" project.  You can link up HERE.  

Scooping Up Some Fun - PPPR dt

Happy Monday!!  Today is my turn to post on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons BLOG.    I hope you were able to join the PPPR design team this weekend and hop along with our "Go Green" blog hop.  Today I have a layout to share with you that I created -

I used the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Ice Cream Treats" cutting files to create the title and also the cute sundae.  For my youngest daughter's birthday we celebrated with frozen yogurt instead of the traditional cake and I thought these files were a perfect way to scrapbook the memory.

I chose not to use the sprinkles on my project but they do come with the cut file if you need them for your project :-)

I chose to use the "Ice Cream Treats" cutting files BUNDLE but they area also available individually too.  

Thanks for stopping by today!!

PPPR "Go Green" blog hop

Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Go Green" blog hop!!  You should have arrived at my blog after visiting the lovely Nanne.

 There is a special freebie file available for free only today and tomorrow (after that it can be purchased in the PPPR store).  The link to the freebie is on Lisa's blog.

Today's blog hop theme is "Go Green" and the design team will be sharing nature and conservation themed projects using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files.  For my project, I created a couple of posters to use at our soccer team fundraisers.  At least once a summer we are asked to do parking for a concert event and we often will sell water and soda at this event too.  We like to collect any empty bottles or cans because we can turn them in and collect money from them.  So, my signs will come in handy for the collection part of the event -

I do apologize for the poor quality of these pictures.  I tried shooting from so many different angles and in different places but it was tricky.  I also decided to laminate my recycle bins so that the posters would hold up longer and could be used more often.  To create my posters, I used the following files from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' Store -

  

PPPR "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" cutting files

***There is blog candy for our hop today*** -

To be eligible for the blog candy, please be a follower of each of the blogs on our hop today as well as leave a comment on each visit too.  You can get extra chances to win the candy by "liking" the PPPR facebook page and/or subscribing to the PPPR Newsletter.

Today also begins a new challenge with Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons -

For more details on the rules of the challenge as well as to link up your entry, please go HERE.  One lucky entry will be randomly selected to win a $20 gift certificate to the PPPR store.  

I am the last stop on our hop.  Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a great weekend!!

Today we are showcasing the "Just Bugcause" stamps and dies.

Here's my project I've created for you...

 I stamped and cut the cute bumble bee with the coordinating die and colored him in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  There is a bit of "wink of stella" pen on his wings but hard to see in the pictures.  I stamped the bee's pathway and popped the bees on foam tape.  I used my apron lace border punch along with some cute paper from Recollections to make my border strip.  The clouds are a Lori Whitlock file from the silhouette store and the sequins were in my stash -

on the inside of the card I stamped this (also from the Just Bugcause stamp set)  -

Here is a closeup of a couple of those cute bees -

Be sure to join us tomorrow for another great new stamp set.

CDD Linky Party "Shaker Projects"

Time for a new linky party over at Craftin Desert Divas. 

This time the theme is "Shaker Project"

One lucky winner will get 3 packs of sequins from Craftin Desert Divas.

One lucky winner will get a $25.00 gift certificate for regular priced files from Too Cute by Jessica.

Here is my project for the linky party -

I used the CDD "Totally Turtle" stamp set to create my shaker card.  My sentiment, turtle, balloons as well as the heart shaped pieces of confetti are all from that stamp set.  I used the coordinating "Totally Turtle" svg set to cut out my images.

I also used the new CDD "Banner" dies for the shaker element of my card - I simply used both banner shapes and laid them down on my cardstock spacing them out as evenly as possible before cutting.  I did hand cut my acetate though by tracing the shape onto it.  I cut and glued several layers of my banner layer to create enough strength for my card.  I used 2 layers of foam tape to pop up my banner to create enough space for the sequins/confetti.  The very tiny heart shaped sequins I used are new to the CDD store - you can find them HERE.  I colored in all of my images using my Spectrum Noir markers.

Here are the products I used -
