PPPR Get Cookin' Blog Hop

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!
 
 
And Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Get Cookin' Blog Hop!
 
If you came here from Gloria's blog, you are in the right place.  If you just stumbled upon my blog today and would like to start from the beginning, please visit the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.

The theme for today's hop is "Get Cookin'", and we're sharing projects that have to do with cooking and food using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files.
 
For my project I made a couple of kitchen towels.  Okay, I bought the towels, but I embellished them using fabric and a couple of PPPR cut files.
 
 Whether you're cooking or baking you can always use some cute kitchen towels.  And if you're like me, then you like to have cute themed towels that get changed out regularly. 
 
 
 If you're a regular follower of my blog, you might have noticed that I have been sharing a few fabric related posts lately.  I am in love with using my Silhouette Cameo and PPPR cutting files to create cute fabric appliques.
 
Materials:
 
 
 store bought towels
fabric pieces
Heat N Bond
and your favorite PPPR cutting files (I find it easiest to use simple shapes.)
For these, I used cuts from the "Hoppy Easter" cutting files.
 
The blog candy for this hop is a $15 GC to the PPPR store.
For a chance to win, you must be a follower of each blog and 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.
