PPPR Go Green Blog Hop

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!
 
 
Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Go Green Blog Hop!
 
If you arrived from Gloria's blog, then you're in the right place. If you want to start from the beginning, then hop on over to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.  You aren't going to want to miss any projects today.
 
The theme of today's hop is "Go Green". So, we're sharing nature and conservation themed projects using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files. 
 
For my project I made a couple of plant markers.  Spring is here and we have started to plant vegetables.  I love having fresh vegetables to cook, and my little one loves watching them grow, and helping me pick them.
 
Tomatoes and chili peppers are just a few of the veggies that we like to grow, but this is what we have started with.  I hope to have a garden full of fresh vegetable plants, all with cute markers.

"Chili Pepper" cutting file
"Little Veggies" cutting file
simple rectangles and circles
papers from my stash

All American Boy

Hello Crafty Friends!
 
Are you ready for Spring?  Fortunately I live where the weather is nice almost year-round, but we are excited about the longer days and warmer temps.
 
We're also excited that baseball season is here!
 
Today is my day to share over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.  I made a simple shaped card using the "Baseball and Bat" cutting file.
 
 
I made a baseball themed baby quilt for a friend's new baby and this is the perfect card to go with it.
 
Details:
"Baseball" from the "Baseball and Bat" cutting file
(To make it a shape card, I cut an extra base piece and attached it on the back.)

Enjoy the rest of your week, and Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Stamp Shop Grand Re-Opening Celebration

Hello Crafty Friends!



Welcome to the Sweet Stamp Shop's Grand Re-Opening!
 
I am so excited to be one of the designers helping them celebrate today!
 
 
This card I made using a sentiment from the "Sail Away Sayings" stamp set.  The background is fabric!  I ironed it on to some fusible webbing before cutting to size, and then lightly ironed it on to the cardstock.
 
Sweet Stamp Shop is celebrating all month long so be sure to be a fan of their Facebook page.  You aren't going to want to miss a thing!
 
And...
 
You are going to want to make sure you stop by and comment/follow/like all the designer's links today because one of us will be giving away a $25 gift card to the store!
 
Is it me?
 
Maybe ;)
 
Thanks for stopping by!
