Guest Designer ~ Patricia Chalas, New File Friday and a Friday FREEBIE!!!

TGIF, everyone!  I'm so happy to have another wonderful Guest Designer with me this week.  Patricia Chalas from Mis Creaciones created a beautiful set of Christmas tags using the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Holiday Trees Cutting Files and the PPPR Christmas Brights Chevron & Polka Dots Digital Paper set.  Here's her project:

Aren't those just so pretty?  It would be wonderful if you could stop by Patricia's blog and leave her some bloggy love. 

I'm also excited to show you the new files I added to the store this week.  Most of these come in Cutting Files, Digital Clip Art, and Digital Stamps.  You can check them all out in the store HERE.  Here they are:

I also have a new Friday Freebie in the store now.  This little treat bag file will be available for free for one week, then it will be moved to the 99 Cent Downloads section of the store.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Mark your calendars for next Saturday, when we'll be having an Autumn Harvest Blog Hop.  We'll also be kicking off a new challenge. 

Design Team Day!!!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I'm so happy that it's time for another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Design Team Day.  Yippee!!!!  The wonderful ladies on the DT have created such fun projects today using files from the PPPR Store.  I can't wait to share them with you.  But first, here's what I created for today:

I decided to try something a little different, so I decorated a Glade Decor Scents Glass thingy.  You know...one of these:

Anyway, I imported the PPPR Halloween Subway Art Digital Stamp and laid it over a pattern from the PPPR Halloween Diamonds & Paisley Digital Paper Pack.  The other background paper is from the PPPR Halloween Bats & Swirls Digital Paper Pack.  The sweet little cat is from the PPPR Birthday Critters Cutting Files, and I replaced her party hat with the hat from the witch in the PPPR Monster Mash Cutting Files Set. I decided to print and cut everything, so I could easily just recolor the pieces of the cat to coordinate with the hat.  So easy!  I added some ink, attached the pieces with foam tape, and added some crinkle ribbon, and my little home decor item was all done.  As a bonus, I printed and cut out a second set at a larger size, and I'll be able to make a cute little card out of the pieces. So, this project is doing double duty for me. 

Okay, now....here are the FANTABULOUS projects by my wonderful DT members.  It would be awesome if you could stop by their blogs to leave them a little love today.

Happy Monday, everyone!  Today is my day to post over at the Digi-Mama's blog, and I have a cool tutorial to share with you.  But, the project I created is a gift, and I'm worried that the recipients will see it if I post a pic of it here.  So, I'd love for you to head on over to Digi-Mama's to see the project and see how I made it (unless you are my parents).  ;)

I'll be back on Wednesday with the awesome projects by my Design Team. Thanks so much for stopping by today!!!

TGIF, everyone!  I've had a SUPER busy week creating all sorts of SUPER new files.  I'll show you them in a bit.  First, I need to share the amazing projects my Guest Designer for this week created.

My Guest Designer this week is Tina Berlingeri from Tina Time. Tina used the Halloween Critters Cutting Files set to create these creative and fun projects. Aren't they adorable?  She makes me want to break out my vinyl and go crazy with it! You can check out all of the details for these projects on Tina's Blog. I hope you'll stop by there and leave some sweet comments for her...I think she earned them. :)

I also want to show you all of the new files I added to the store this week.  Most of these come in Cutting Files, Digital Clip Art, and Digital Stamps.  You can check them all out in the store HERE.

And, finally, I have a new Friday Freebie in the store now.  This file will be available for free for one week, then it will be moved to the 99 Cent Downloads section of the store.

Now, here's what's new in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Store.  I added a new digital paper collection to the store this week:  the All Hallow's Eve Digital Paper Collection.

I also finally figured out a way to offer digital paper bundle packs.  By purchasing papers in bundles, you can save anywhere from 14-20% Here are the ones that are available so far.  

I also decided to start offering Digital Stamps.  I'll be adding sets SLOWLY to the store, but feel free to let me know if there is any set you'd like to see me convert first.  Here are the sets that are available now:

Okay, and FINALLY...here's this week's Friday FREEBIE...a Halloween Subway Art Digital Stamp.

Design Team Day and an ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Hi, everyone!  Today, we have all sorts of fun projects to share with you today that we created using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) files.  Plus, I'm excited to share with you a new addition to our team.  But first, here's what I created for this week:

I got this sweet little mouse from the new PPPR Birthday Critters Cutting Files set.  I removed her birthday hat and replaced it with a bow from the PPPR Old Chap Cutting Files set.  I replaced the gift she's carrying in the set with a pumpkin from the PPPR Pumpkin Patch Cutting Files set, and she's standing on grass from the PPPR Flower Assortment Cutting Files Set.  The card base is from the PPPR Layered Labels 3 Cutting Files set, and all of the patterns are a SNEAK PEEK of a new paper collection that is coming out later this week.  YAY!  I added some fun enamel dot stickers, some pretty crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl JAM, and a sentiment from BugBite's Autumn Splendor Stamp Set, and my little card was all done.  I hope you like it!

Okay, now I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team.  She is UBER talented, and I'm so excited that she'll be joining us.  Be sure to check out her blog if you haven't already...she creates AMAZING projects!  She'll be joining us starting in October.
