Last Day of SCHOOL!!

Good morning! Today is my design team day over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog!

I cannot believe that the end of the school year is almost here. My kiddos are getting pretty anxious, but they still have another 9 days. And yes, the countdown's been on for the past couple of months. :)

So for today's project I decided to put a little twist on the School Titles cut files. I used the line tool to cross off the "first" word and then replaced it with "last," because let's face it, the last day of school is just as great as the first day!
The paper background layer is from the same cut file set.
Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink black cardstock
Echo Park Paper & Glue 6x6 paper stack
Echo Park So Happy Together 6x6 paper stack
Echo Park For the Record 2 6x6 paper stack
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons School Titles
Pink By Design Our Kids
Queen & Co Jellies

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Birthday!!

Hi! I've got a special birthday card that I totally forgot to share! Last Wednesday was my youngest son's 12th birthday, we took him out for the evening and I just spaced out posting the card to my blog. :)

I wanted to try something different for his card, and came across the Box Cards from Lori Whitlock. I purchased this Sports one through the Silhouette Store and cut it all out with my Silhouette Cameo.
I wanted to use the sports images from the paper pack, so I adhered them to the cut file and then cut around them to make it all fit together. I also cut out some of the stars and placed them around the card too.
Supplies:
Gina K Designs Luxury cardstock
Fancy Pants Designs Little Sport 6x6 paper stack
Lori Whitlock Box Card file (Silhouette Store)
Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies
Jaded Blossom So Many Birthdays

I love you MOM!

Happy Mother's Day!
Today is my DT day over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog and I have a super cute card to share!
I used the Mother's Day Cards cutting files for my project.
In order to make this with as few layers as possible, I created a path to cut the shadow out of my background layer. Then I added the MOM directly to the base and used pop dots for the hearts.
Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink kraft cardstock
Carta Bella Hello Again 6x6 paper stck
Carta Bella Cool Summer 6x6 paper stack
Carta Bella Devoted 6x6 paper stack
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Mother's Day Cards
My Creative Time Pretty Spring Wreaths
Wink of Stella glitter pen

Thanks for stopping by and I hope all you mom's have a fabulous day!
