A layout 20 years in the making!

Hi, Ruth here and I'm sharing a layout with a picture from when I got my bachelor's degree back in 1995. My wonderful classmates posted this picture to Facebook and I felt like scrapping the picture now that it's coming up on 20 years since I graduated (can I just say that I can't believe it's been that long!!!)

Papers are from Man, Oh Man Pattern Pack 1, the clouds are from Kite & Clouds Cutting Files, and the arrows are from Borders 4 Cutting Files.
Thanks so much for visiting!
Happy crafting!
Ruth



Guest Designer ~ Leah Richardson-Andrews plus New File and FREEBIE Friday

This week's Guest Designer is Leah Andrews over at My Craft and Chat Cafe. She's  a mighty crafty girl, and I'm looking forward to sharing with you what she created for this week's post. 

She used Thanksgiving Feast Cutting Files for this awesome project she's working on for her kiddos! She's creating a cookbook for her children and this is the cover!! It's beautiful Leah!

Here's a close up of the details and that adorable mom! Love, love, love the colors on this Leah!

Leah also included a second project for us! She created this cute treat box! Using the Little Duckling Cutting Files and the Gift Box with Window Cutting Files, she now has this cheery, sweet gift box to share with someone she loves. 

Now, how about some new files? I've added a few single files to the store this week. Here's what's new in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Store:

Matryoshka Doll Cutting Files

Happy Birthday Grill Master

Hi, and Happy Thursday!

Gloria here from Gloria's Goofy Craft Spot. I hope everyone is doing well.

For my project today I made a Happy Birthday card for my hubby. The card base is 5X5 and the awesome grill cut is from PPPR Cookout Cutting Files. The Grilling Fork and flame on the apron is also from the PPPR Cookout Cutting Files. The beer bottle on the grill is from PPPR Happy Hour Cutting Files. The guy cut is from PPPR Dress Up Boys 1 Cutting Files paired with PPPR Dress Up Boy Cook Outfit Cutting Files. For his face I used Peachy Keen Simple Simons face assortment stamp set and added some glossy acecents to the glasses. The sentiment is a combo of Pink By Design "Birthday Birthday" and "Just 4 Men" stamp set.

What I used:

PPPR Cookout Cutting Files

 PPPR Dress Up Boy Cook Outfit Cutting Files

 PPPR Dress Up Boys 1 Cutting Files

Happy Hump DAAAAAAY, everyone! I have our new Design Team member to share with you today. Honestly, I wish I could have chosen each person who applied...they are all so talented. But, I only had two open spots on the team, so I had to make a tough decision.

Good Morning!

Before I show you my project today, I just wanted to let you know that today is my last project for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  I decided to step down for a bit since I have so much going on in my personal life right now.  We are currently in the process of trying to buy a house (You know how chaotic that can be) and I also started working part time.  I just wanted to say Thank you to Lisa for having me on her team.  She is an amazing designer and so much fun to work with.  I really have enjoyed working with her and her files.  Once things settle down for me I will start crafting again.  

Now on to my project.  :)

For the card base I used the Tri-Fold Shutter Card Cutting Files.  The Ostrich is from the Safari Love 2 Cutting Files.  The mouse is from the Birthday Critters Cutting Files.  The present & hat are from the Party Items Cutting Files. 

This mouse is just too darn cute. 

Here is a picture of the card folded up. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Life is Sweet layout

Hi fellow scrappers..
It's Nanné here today to share a cute little layout I created using some of the new Baking Fun cutting file..
Here is what I created:

I love to bake so I'm hoping I can get one of my kids to snap a photo of my one day while I'm baking, so I can add it to this layout :)

How about a few close ups:

I decided to use the carton of eggs from the Egg-cellent cutting file, plus the bowl, which is in the Baking Fun cutting file..

Absolutely love this little flour baggy, plus the rolling pin.. Both can be found in the Baking fun cutting file.

all of these cute apples are in the Apple Picking cutting file.. The marquee I used for the background is in the Layered Labels 1 cutting file.

these wooden spoons are in the baking fun cutting file..I also used two of the note book sheets for the background and those are in the Note book pages cutting file.

and there ya have my layout that I created for today's reveal..

Thank you for stopping by today and taking a look..

Till next time..

Have a scrap-tastic week

Hugs

Nanné

Flower Birthday Card

Hello there, Nicole here today and I have a birthday card to share with you. Our family has a lot of birthdays between friends and family during the spring and this is just one out of a handful or more that I am going to need to make :-)

I made this one for a good family friend who turned 18 so I wanted a fun and bright card.  I used Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Funky Flowers" cutting files and used 2 of the 3 flowers included for my card.  I picked out bright colored cardstock and added a couple of enamel dots as well as some twine.

Well, thanks for stopping by today.  Don't forget to pick up this week's cute FREEBIE - perfect for those Easter cards/projects.
