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 Shannon’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 have 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!!
I used Lisa’s cute Oval Window Treat Bag file and her Birthday Gator file which is FREE this week only, to make this fun birthday treat!
I used the DCWV Birthday Wishes 6×6 stack for all the patterned paper. I love this colorful stack because of the hints of holographic foil on the paper.
For the sentiment, I used Pink by Design’s Moody Crabs which was designed by Lisa! I thought the sentiment went perfect with the sweet little gator!
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!!
Also, in honor of Lisa’s birthday- I am giving away another Pink by Design stamp set designed by Lisa! But, I’m not just giving away 1!! I am giving away 3, to increase your chances to win! So, there will be 3 different winners!
To be entered for the prize all you have to do is leave a comment below, and you can like Pink Cricut or Pink by Design on Facebook for extra entries.
