And don't forget to join us for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Spring Break Challenge!!!

Sending Mousie Smiles

   Good day my fellow PPPR fans, Leah with y'all today! I'm here on this oh so happy Monday to share a cheery little card. Over this weekend's blog hop  (click to take a peek if you missed it) I shared another card using one of the PPPR card base files. Neither of which I had used before. Honestly, having a different card base really makes a card that much more unique. I look forward to using them more often!   Even though this is a simple design, the small details make it that much more interesting. Because of my base card color choices, I wanted a small hint of color to make the peach floral stand out. I used the shadow feature on my design software to make a small mat for that shape (part of the card base cutting file). In addition I used a border punch to add the small scallop to the blue floral (part of the card base cutting file too). Those 2 small things add more interest, as does adding embossing like the sentiment and the stamped and embossed texture on the flower pot base.     The mouse and flowers were all cut on white paper and colored with markers. I was able to choose my colors to match the floral paper well and it was easier then searching for small paper scraps to match. I also love the texture to the flower center (in addition to white and glitter gel pen on the centers). This card was a lot of fun to put together!     Here are the files I used, starting with the card base on the right. I love Lisa created both landscape and portrait options!

Guest Designer ~ Stacey's Creative Corner plus New File and FREEBIE Friday

TGIF, everyone! It's time for another amazing Guest Designer! Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner is sharing some very springy and retro designs this week. She created a very cheery Easter bag and an amazing card. She used Happy Bunny Cutting Files, Oval Window Treat Bag Cutting Files, and Vintage Arcade Game Cutting Files.

Let's get a look at that treat bag! How cute is that?!?!?! Love the colors you used, Stacey! They compliment each other perfectly!

What a great pun for this card! Stacey used the Game On stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps (PPPR's sister company) for that sentiment. So cute! Again, Stacey used perfect colors for this card, they give it a perfect vintage-y feel!

Okay, now I have a few new files for you this week. These sweet files can be found in the PPPR store by clicking on the photos below.
