Guest Designer ~ Gloria Zuniga, New File Friday, & FREEBIE!!!

TGIF, everyone!  I'm so happy that my friend Gloria Zuniga from Gloria's Goofy Craft Spot is my Guest Designer for this week.  She loves everything Disney, and she always finds ways to put a Disney spin on her projects.  

She created a super cute card using the Java Great Day Cutting Files set.  Isn't it so adorable?  You can find out all of the details about this card on Gloria's Blog.  I'd love it if you could head over there to leave her some sweet words...we all love comments! :)

I have a couple of new sets that I added to the store this past week.  Here they are...just click on the photos to check out these sets in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Store.

I also have a new Friday Freebie for you.  This file will be available for one week, then it will be moved to the 99 Cent Downloads section of the store.  Click on the photo to go to the store to download the file.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I'll be back next week with more projects and new files to show you.  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Cameo Creations Back to School Challenge

Hey, everyone!  It's time for another Cameo Creations Challenge.  YAY!!!  The challenge this time is to create a Back to School project using your Silhouette machine. Here's what I created:

The pencils and ruler on this card are from the new Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Primary Supplies Cutting Files set.  I used the pencils as a background image, and I printed and cut the ruler to use as a border.  I added stitching lines to the background square using my Silhouette Cameo by creating an inset shape and changing the line style to be this dashed and dotted style. The tag is from the PPPR Layered Tags 1 Cutting Files set, and the sentiment is a sneak peek of a Pink by Design stamp set I designed that should hopefully be coming out really soon!  I added some ribbon and twine, and my card was all done!  I hope you like it!

Now, it's your turn!  Head on over to Cameo Creations to see what the other talented Design Team members created, then link up your own Silhouette-created Back to School project.  One lucky linker will win a $10 Gift Certificate to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons!  How exciting!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a Guest Designer, some new files, and a new Friday Freebie!  YAY!  :)  I hope to see you then!

Sorry I've Been So Crabby

Happy Hump Daaa-aaay, everyone!  It's my day to post over at Pink by Design, and I decided to create a CAS card and a SNEAK PEEK for you.  YAY!  Here's what I created:

I created this simple card with a Pink by Design stamp set I designed that will be coming out soon.  The crab and the sentiment are both from that set.  I stamped the crab on some patterned paper.  Then, I stamped another crab on white paper and fussy cut the eyes and teeth out to adhere to the patterned crab.  I also used a red marker to color in parts of the crab to add a little dimension.  The background shape was created with my Cuttlebug Fancy Frames embossing folder, and I just cut around the embossing.  I added some jute twine and a fun button, and my card was all done.

I hope you like my little card.  There are so many great stamp sets coming out this month...I can't wait for you to see them all.

Thanks for stopping by, everyone, and I hope you have a great day!

Glad You're My Teacher

Happy Monday, everyone!  It's my day to post over at Digi-Mama's, and I want to share a card I made for my 4th grader's new teacher.  She's new to the school, so I wanted to make her feel welcome.  Here it is:

I got this sweet little crayon box from the new Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Primary Supplies Cutting Files set.  I printed and cut the box in three layers...the back layer with the crayons, the yellow layer of the box with the "crayons" word, and the green stripes layer.  I assembled the pieces and stamped a little face from the Peachy Keen March 2013 Stamp of the Month set.  The background pattern is from the PPPR School Days Penmanship Digital Paper Pack.  I stamped a fun sentiment on a shape from the PPPR Layered Labels 2 Cutting Files set.  I added stitching lines using my Silhouette Cameo.  I just created an inset shape and changed the line to a dotted line.  Then, I grouped the shapes and printed and cut them.  The sentiment is actually a SNEAK PEEK of a stamp set I designed for Pink by Design (it should be available really soon).  I added some ribbon, and my little card was all done.  I got my daughter to write a sweet message on the inside for her teacher.  I'm hoping it will help make her Monday more bearable. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I'll be back later in the week with more projects.  Have a great Monday!

New File and FREEBIE Friday!!!

TGIF, everyone!  Can you believe it's already August?  As of today, my kiddos have both started back to school.  I just can't believe that our summer flew by so quickly!  I have a quick set to share with you today that I added to the store earlier in the week. 

This set would be great for invitations for a backyard barbecue or for a scrapbook layout to showcase those cookout memories.  You can get this set as Cookout Cutting Files or as Cookout Digital Clip Art.

I also have a new Friday Freebie to share with you today.  This little clipboard will be free for one week.  Then, it will move to the 99 Cent Downloads section of the store. 

 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I'll have some fun projects and some new files to share with  you next week.  Thanks so much for stopping by today! :)

Design Team Day!!!

Happy Wednesday!  I'm so happy that it's time for another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team Day!  YAY!  I won't dilly dally...here are our projects:

I used the new Day at the Beach Cutting Files to create this little card.  I added a sentiment from Pink by Design's Sandy Toes Stamp Set, some ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and some doodles, and my card was all done!

Now, here's what my ultra talented DT came up with.  It would be wonderful if you could take a minute to pop by their blogs to leave them a sweet comment. :)
