Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Summer Fun Blog Hop

Hey, everyone!  Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Summer Blog Hop.  The PPPR Design Team and I have created all sorts of summery projects using PPPR Files, and we'll be sharing them with you today.  Also, if you hop through, you'll have the chance to win some great blog candy.  Today also starts another monthly challenge (more on that, later).  Here's what I created for our hop:

I combined a few cutting files sets and some digital paper packs to create this silly little card. It was really easy to put together, and all I had to add was a fun sentiment, some pretty ribbon, and some Glossy Accents for the goggles.  Here are all of the products I used on my card:

Card Base: PPPR Mother's Day Cutting Files

Card Base Papers: PPPR Summer Brights Digital Paper Collection

Frog: PPPR Frog Prince Cutting Files

Scuba Gear: PPPR Little Swimmers Cutting Files

Sentiment: Pink by Design's Go Green Stamp Set  

Glossy Accents

Our hop also kicks off our 2nd monthly challenge.  YAY!  The theme this month is...you guessed it...Summer Fun.  Create anything that reminds you of summer using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files, and link it up.  Here are all of the details of the challenge:

1. The project must be Summer Fun-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 Summer Fun Challenge photo folder in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Project Parade Facebook Group.
3. You can enter as many different Summer Fun 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, August 10, 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, August 14, 2013.

The Linky will be at the end of this post. :)

Okay, now...how about some BLOG CANDY???

One lucky hopper will win a $15 Gift Certificate to PPPR, a My Mind's Eye 6x6 inch paper pad, some flower-shaped buttons, some Jolee's Boutique flower stickers, some crocheted doilies, and a little stamp set. YAY!  Here's what you need to do for a chance to win:
