"Aged to Perfection"

Happy Monday, I hope you had a great weekend!!  We have had non-stop rain here in Oregon, downpours constantly, not fun!!  Thankfully it held off until after my daughter's soccer game on Saturday but boy, those poor Ducks in their football game got hit hard with the rain and wind.  Enough of the weather. . . I have a card to share with you today using some 3 Girl JAM "Christmas Candy" ribbon from the New and Improved Seasons Bundle.    I thought this would make a cute birthday card?  What do you think?  My husband didn't quite understand my use of this sentiment with the card, so let me know your opinion :-)  Thanks for stopping by today!!

Soccer Layout - PPPR design team day

Today I have a scrapbook layout I made for some pictures I took this summer of my youngest daughter at a Brazil soccer camp.  She had such a great time at this camp and I wanted to make sure she remembered that.

To create my layout I used the following cut files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons -

"Sunburst Shapes" for the background

"Soccer Ball" for the soccer ball

"Flower Assortment" for the grass borders 

Don't forget that we have a new challenge going on and the theme is "Birthdays" - create anything birthday themed and use Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files in your projects.  For more info go HERE.  

Thanks for stopping by today - you can check out the rest of the design team's projects by visiting the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons BLOG.

Sunflower Box - 3 Girl JAM DT day

Happy Monday my fellow bloggers!  I am here with a 3d project to share with you today using some "Halloween Harvest" crinkle ribbon from the "New and Improved" Seasons Bundle.

My box is a file from the Silhouette Online Store and I just love how perfectly the Halloween Harvest ribbon goes with the sunflower colors.  I used some Scor Tape to adhere my ribbon to the box.  Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget that the 3 Girl JAM 2 year celebration is still going on and that there is still time to enter your project in the Celebrations challenge over at the 3 Girl JAM Challenge blog.  

Camping Layout - PPPR Design Team Day

Today I have a camping layout I made for my design team post for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  I used the "Camping Fun" cutting files for all of my cuts.  I have lots of camping layouts to catch up on and this set of files is perfect - lots of options to work with, what a great bargain!!  The pieces went together quickly too :-)  

My journaling box used the same files only I used them as a Print and Cut with my cameo - I only cut out the box shape.  Love how we can do that with cutting files too - makes the purchase so versatile!!  You can check out the rest of the design team's projects over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' BLOG.  Thanks for stopping by today!!
