Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Birthday Blog Hop!!

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 Jeanne'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!! But FIRST I would like to say "HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU Miss Lisa!"

I used the CUTIE PATOOTIE "Candy Corn Guy" HERE! For those of you who know me, you know that Candy Corn is my MOST FAVORITE CANDY EVERRR! ;) I knew this was a birthday hop & I was determined to make this little cutie into a birthday card! My vision for this was to make my little candy corn look like it was stepping out of the frame to give Miss Lisa her balloons for her birthday! ;)

Here is a pic of the matching envelope I made to match my card! ;)

Supplies used:

~ "Candy Corn Guy" download file

~ Peachy Keen's "In the Garden Face Asst"

~ Teresa Collin's "Masquerade Party" 6x6 paper pad

~ Stitched Fun Ticket Dies

~ Stitched Capture Frame

~ Stitched Party Dies

~ Celebrate Good Times stamp set

Scrapping The Little Things

Good morning my creative friends & welcome to another "Scrapping the Little Things"!  Well, we have had one crazy weekend! Last Thursday I had taken Baby Aaron to the dr & he had a sinus infection :(  Then on Friday, I took Anthony to the dr for his regular "well visit" & he also got the flu shot! I had a bad feeling that day because when we first got there, the line was "literally" a mile long! lol.... NO ONE was covering their mouth's while they were coughing AND sneezing :(  I just KNEW I was going to get sick, & sure enough, I did :( I didn't feel well on Saturday, but I "manned up" & made the best of it to celebrate Baby Aaron's 14th birthday! While we were at lunch that day, Anthony started feeling sick too :(  Let's just say that by Sunday, we ALLLL felt like a truck hit us! We were all miserable & the ONLY person who managed to stay healthy was my hubby! (lucky guy) ;)  He was an AWESOME nurse to all 3 of us!  That was my weekend in a nutshell! 

Obviously I had no energy to even walk into my craftroom this weekend so I am posting an "oldie, but a goodie" 8x8 layout I had made in 2010....YEP, 2010!!! ;)  You can see the ORIGINAL post HERE!  There is even a video on how I created this layout too! 

Now, onto my amazing design team who NEVER disappoints! Don't forget to click on each of their names to visit each of their blogs! :)
