Selfie Time

Hello Crafty Friends!
 
Did you enjoy the long weekend?  We had a great time getting caught up on chores, crafty projects, and planting some strawberries and squash.
 
Today is my day to share over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog and I am sharing a super cute camera card using one of the cuts from the "Instant Cameras" cutting files.
 

 
Details:
PPPR "Instant Camera 1"
Jaded Blossom "Picture This" sentiment
 
I love this file!  I love sharing my projects (and everyday life) on Instagram.  I think this card will be perfect for one of my IG swap buddies.
 
Thanks for stopping by and have a Great week!

Thank You...

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!
 
Are you enjoying the start of a long holiday weekend?  I am looking forward to an extra day off to craft and maybe BBQ.
 
Today I am sharing over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.  I made a Thank You card using one of the cuts from the "Exercise Equipment" cutting files.
 
 
 
You may be wondering if this is for a gym friend or work-out friend, right?  Nope.  I made a couple of these for the team moms of my son's lacrosse team.  The inside reads, "Thanks for keeping things running smoothly!"  Get it? LOL
 
Details:
Treadmill from the PPPR "Exercise Equipment" cutting files
Jaded Blossom "Simple Sayings 2" sentiment
 
Don't forget that PPPR has their monthly challenge going on.  The theme this month is Camera/Photos/Memories.  You can link up your projects here.  One entry will win a gift certificate to the PPPR store.
 
Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Memorial Day weekend!
