❤{You're One Tough Cookie}❤

I'm sharing a quick post today showing you how the simplicity of a "journaling card" can make a big impact.

Using Lisa's graphics is a perfect way to accomplish this.

All you need to do is print out your file and cut it to a 4X3 size. 

(You can use a corner rounder and round the corner or leave it as is.)

Check it out on the layout, I layered it with other papers and some alpha stickers. I used Lisa's Cookies & Milk Cutting File:

Here's the layout I created of Mackenzie, she's going through a big spiritual growth stage and it's pretty amazing who she's growing into, I wanted to jot down a few notes about it.

Here's a close up of the cookie card:

Thanks for letting me share with you today! Make sure you stop by tomorrow for even more inspiration, a new file and a freebie!

I love to make cards of smiling food. It's like a sickness. I couldn't wait to make a card with the cotton candy. Alas, they're aren't many witty cotton candy puns...but it's a perfect sweet little face to send a happy hello! I used the Fair Food Cutting Files for my card, take a look below. ❤

Here's a close up of the smiling cotton candy! EEEEE! IS that NOT the CUTEST or what?!?!?! I love it! ❤

❤Happy Thursday!❤

There are so many good things in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons store at the moment that it's almost too much cute! Almost.  

You can find this card over at my blog,

❤ A Sweet PPPR Thursday ❤

Hi, everyone! This is Shannon from Designs of a Paddymack. On this Thursday, we begin the month of MAY! Where has the year gone? I always think the year is going to go by so slowly after we celebrate the holidays...but it doesn't! We're almost halfway through this year. I'm a few weeks away from final report cards and kids staying up late and sleeping in! (Hooray for that last part!)

With lack of time being what it is, I am always looking for ways to squeeze in home made cards. Lisa has some super adorable cutting files (that can also be simply printed out) that are perfect for this! They are literally my favorite because I keep going back to them again and again!

The Breakfast Sweets Cutting Files inspired this card: 

I am so excited to share this with you! I took a close up for you of that sweet Cinnamon Roll!

Have a splendid Thursday and thank you for always stopping in and checking out Lisa's blog and site!! Stay tuned for a Freebie, possibly some new files and a great Guest Designer post this Friday!!
