PPPR-Birthday Blog Hop-Guest Designer

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 the Design Team plus some guests ( I AM A GUEST DESIGNER) 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 MELISSA'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 has 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 decided to use the Candy Corn guy cutting file (cause he is too cute) and created a Halloween themed Birthday card.. Adding lots of fun Halloween elements to the page, like bats and balloons in Halloween colors.. I also added a web border and created little candy corns from the main SVG file, just deleting the hands and feet :)

once I had assembled the card, I added some stickles to the die cuts.. Orange, green, black and purple.. plus, a few drops of white with a white marker and how could I forget to mention the Peachy Keen facial stamp..

The creepy hands, balloons, web boarder, party hat and bats are from the SIL store and the title was created with free fonts.. Printed paper is a digital kit..

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.

With our blog hop also comes a new Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Challenge!!
