PPPR Birthday Blog Hop


Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Birthday Blog Hop!!


Today we are celebrating Lisa's (owner/designer of PPPR) birthday! She had a plan for this hop, but we (the Design Team plus guests) have a plan of our OWN because we LOVE her!!!!

We are all making special birthday projects using some files from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons store AND since birthdays are all about celebrating with friends and  giving gifts, we decided to add guests to the lineup and giveaway a TON of prizes!!
These awesome prizes include fun twine, stamp sets and gift certificates to some of our favorite crafty stores!! You seriously do NOT want to miss a single stop in this hop!! 

If you are coming to here from Nicole's blog you are in the right place! If you have just stumbled upon this hop, make sure to head back to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog!

But remember - and this is important! - Lisa does NOT have the correct lineup on her blog, because she doesn't know there has been a few ADDITIONS to the lineup thanks to her DT!! SURPRISE, Lisa!! Lisa will direct you to the correct blog, but after that please disregard her lineup!!
Now onto my project!!


Supplies:
PPPR "Cool Sun" cutting file, I added the shadow and made it a shape card
Papers from Echo Park "Splash" line
sentiment from My Creative Time "Chocolate Greetings"

I'll be entering this card in these challenges:
My Creative Time - Birthday challenge
Cameo Creations - Patterned Paper challenge
 
Of course Lisa has an awesome package to give away to one lucky hopper!!
For a chance to win, you must be a follower of each blog and also leave a comment on each blog. For extra chances, you can also 'LIKE' Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on Facebook and/or sign up for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Newsletter. A random winner will be chosen for the prize on Tuesday, September 24th. Only US or Canadian mailing addresses please.
With our blog hop also comes a new Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Challenge!! The theme of the challenge is Birthday and you can link up your projects at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog until Sunday, October 12th for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the store. We can't wait to see what you create using PPPR files!!
 Now onto the next stop in the hop!! Head on over to Shannon's blog!!
