Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons ~ Guest Designer

Hey everyone! I have some exciting news to share with you today! I am the "Guest Designer" over at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons! Super Awesome as I love to design with my Silhouette! For those of you who may not know, Lisa Norris designs some super cute cut files ~ check them out!

I had these pictures of my kids eating s'mores from our camping trip a couple of years ago and the S'mores Cutting Files were perfect! They include with or without the faces so you can create many cute projects with this file!!

Close up of the title ~ lots of layers to make it "pop" and I also added foam squares to really make it stand out!

I made the s'more without the face and "wow" it almost looks edible don't you think! I added foam dots to really grab the attention off the page. It looks so good that it made me hungry when the layout was done ~ lol!!

Next project I created, I used the K-Cup Treat Cutting Files and Happy Hour Cutting Files ~ you know me, love making gifty things!! The K-Cup bag is super cute, I knew I had to make something with it and the Happy Hour files......absolutely adorable!! Adding the two files together I think made a super cute gift!!

Inside the K-Cup file, I put Lemonade K-cups ~ very refreshing on a hot day!!

For the glass of lemonade, I added a Peachy Keen face stamp to really add to the adorable cut file!

Inspiration Wednesday

Today is Inspiration Wednesday over at My Creative Time! This is when we create a project that was inspired by colors, a picture, someone else's creation or whatever.
What inspired me to create this project was the stack of office store cut note pads I have sitting in my "to do" stach!! Everyone always needs a notepad to jot down a shopping list or leave a little message, so this is a perfect gift idea too!!

Thrifty Thursday

Today is Thrifty Thursday on My Creative Time Blog. The goal is to create a project using scraps/leftovers or a recycled item.

I made a treat box from 2 tag dies I had leftover from a project as well as a card using scraps from the 4th layout I did last week. Scraps and leftover dies come in really handy!!

For the treat box, I took two tag die cuts and then scored them at 3.5" as shown here:

Then I glued the tags together on the scored, folded part as shown here:

Next, I took a piece of scrap pattern paper, 2x8 and scored it at 1.5", 2.75", 5.25" and 6.5". I glued this piece around the tags to create the box. You do not glue the sides of the paper. I decorated the front with leftover dies I had from doing other 4th of July projects. I put crunch mini chocolate bars inside the box and tied it up! Easy & Cute!!

My Creative Time Products Used:

Tag Dies
Bunch of Fun Circle Dies
3 Star Stitched Dies
Teeny Tag Dies
Teeny Tag Holidays Stamp Set

Other Products Used:
Paper: Doodlebug Designs
Twine, Sequins & Pearls

This card I made from left over scraps from the layout I did last week. I just added some die cuts and did the sentiment the same as the layout title. Love the new Happy Thoughts coordinating dies!!
