50th Anniversary Card

Happy Monday!!  Nicole here today with an anniversary card that I made for my parents who celebrated 50 years this past weekend!!  What a joy to celebrate that milestone with them!


My card is a 5x7 sized card and I used the following Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' files to create it -

Burger Anyone!?

 
Hello everyone, happy Sunday, Brianna here with you all today :D
I decided to make something other than a card today, can you believe it!
Today's project is a mini album but not just any mini album, it's a burger mini album.
Files Used:
 
Cookout Cutting Files
This was super, super easy to make. I just opened the burger up in my Silhouette software and un-grouped and cut out all the layers. I did release compound path on top part of bun, so I could stamp a peachy keen face on it and then put the seeds where I wanted them.
I punched a hole using my We R Memory Keepers chomper and then used a closure to hold it all together.
I don't know what I will use this for yet, but I love it!!

Thank you all for stopping by and be sure to check out the HOT, HOT, HOT! blog hop that started yesterday, you still have time to join in on the fun :D

PPPR Hot, Hot, Hot! Blog Hop

Happy Saturday, everyone! Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Hot, Hot, Hot! Blog Hop. The Design Team and I thought this theme would be perfect for this HOT time of year. We've created all sorts of projects that remind us of something HOT, and I can't wait for you to see them all.  There's also a fun freebie available for you wonderful hoppers, and there's also a prize up for grabs. We'll also be kicking off our next challenge. So, let's get to the fun!


I decided to make a fun side step scene card. When I think of heat, I think of the beach. So, I used the PPPR Side Step Card Cutting Files to create a base for my scene. Then, I added a girl from the PPPR Dress Up Girls Cutting Files and dressed her in the PPPR Dress Up Girl Swim Suit 1 Cutting Files. Most of the other files are from the PPPR Day at the Beach Cutting Files set, but I also added a beach ball from the PPPR Little Swimmers Cutting Files set and the bottle from the PPPR Sunscreen Cutting Files set. Then, I added a sentiment from Peachy Keen's Stamp Club June 2013 set, some white doodles, and some enamel dots to finish off the card. Here's a different view:


This hop also kicks off our new Hot Challenge. Link up your hot-themed project that uses PPPR files for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.
