PPPR "Back to School" blog hop

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Back to School" blog hop where the design team will be featuring back to school projects utilizing PPPR products.  You should have arrived at my blog after visiting the lovely Melisa's blog.  If you did not start at the beginning of the blog hop, then you can go HERE to start at the very top.  For my project, I decided to do a scrapbook layout.  I am behind on my scrapbooking (aren't we all??) so I used this as an opportunity to catch up on some back to school pictures.  



I used the "Back 2 School" cutting files for my title and backpack and the "Borders 2" cutting files for my scallop border.  I also decided to use up some old stuff in my stash and pulled out alphabet stickers for my title :-)  My background papers are from a Recollections "Seasons" paper pad.  

Lisa is offering some blog candy for our hop today -

For a chance to win, you must be a follower of each blog and leave a comment on each blog. For extra chances, you can also "LIKE" Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on Facebook  and/or sign up for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Newsletter . A random winner will be chosen for the prize on Tuesday, August 27. Only US or Canadian mailing addresses, please.

Don't forget that our "Back to School" challenge is open to you too!!  All you need to do is create a back to school themed project using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' files and link your project to our challenge.  Here are the challenge guidelines -

1. The project must be Back to School-themed. Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons products must be the focus of the project.

2. Please link to your actual blog post...not to your blog. If you don't have a blog, you can add a photo of your project to the Back to School Challenge photo folder in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Project Parade Facebook Group

3. You can enter as many different Back to School projects as you want for more chances to win.

4. The challenge will run for 3 weeks. You must link up your project by 11:55 pm CST on Saturday, September 14, 2013.

5. One random winner of a $10 Gift Certificate to PPPR will be chosen. Our Design Team will also choose our PPPR Top 3. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, September 18, 2013.
