PPRS What a Hoot!!

Hello! I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter weekend! My kids had a wonderful time receiving surprises from the Easter Bunny, as well as searching my yard and grandma's yard for treat-filled eggs!

It is Monday again and time for another PPRS Design Team project share! I am totally addicted to Crate Paper's old Farmhouse line and yet again, I used it for my card. I just loved how the floral prints fit with the cute Mini Owls Clear Stamp Set. This set is totally adorable, as you will see! I love how you can mix and match the owls' wings with the different owl images.

All images were colored with Copic Markers. The owls were stamped on white cardstock, fussy cut, and then pop-dotted onto the tree. The edges were all inked with my fave TH Distress ink, Walnut Stain.

That's it for today! Please be sure to stop by the PPRS blog to get inspired by all the creations the DT has created just for you! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Hugs,

PPRS Monday-Easter Fever!

Happy Monday!

I have had a superb weekend! Saturday, I attended the Copic Certification class here in Phoenix, Arizona. It was taught by the super sweet and super talented Lori Craig and Marianne Walker. For those of you who are big into Copics, Marianne is the author of the blog, I Like Markers, where you can find all kinds of helpful Copic techniques.

Now, I can safely say that I am a Copic Certified Designer! Just waiting now for my blog badge! :)

Now, on to my PPRS project share. I teamed up some kraft cardstock with some PTI patterned paper and PPRS super adorable Sm. Bunny with Egg red rubber stamp. Take a looksie.

Now you know I had to incorporate some of my newly learned Copic techniques, right? Tee hee!

Be sure to stop on by the PPRS blog for some more eye candy from the designers! Thank you so much for taking a little bit out of your day to stop by and say hi! I will talk to you soon!

Hugs,

PPRS Whoo's Your Birdie?

Happy Monday morning everyone! Today is another gorgeous PPRS DT Project share and my project today features the Mini Owls Clear Stamp Set and the Sm. Otis Red Rubber Stamp.

My little Otis dude is colored using Copic markers and layered on some old DCWV Green Stack papers from my stash. Love how earthy they are! The little brad-looking dealy-bobs are I-Rock Gems in "Mirror".

PPRS Monday

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been MIA the last few weeks. I have been dealing with some medical issues that left me in pain, made me extremely tired, and left me with the inability to craft. Now, I am feeling much better and was able to work on a card this last week.

I used the Spring red rubber stamp that was just recently released over in the PPRS webshop. Super cute sentiment, isn't it?

I used Crate Paper's Farmhouse Collection, some Prima lace, and miscellaneous embellies from my stash. The perfect card for some perfect spring weather!

Make sure you stop by the PPRS blog to see what projects the DT have made for some inspiration.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

Prickley Pear Monday-Die Storage Share

Hello friends! Today, I want to share with you my die storage system for my Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps Coordinating Dies. It's nothing fancy, totally homemade, very inexpensive, and I love that I was able to customize it to my liking. I took some plain chipboard, covered it with Basic Grey Curio papers, bound it with my Cinch, and added some magnets. The magnets are strong enough to hold the dies on without them falling off and the dies are easy to remove when I need to use them.

Here is the front cover. I used trims I purchased from Hobby Lobby. The bloomer trim was dyed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays. I cut the label from the packaging that comes with the dies and attached it to a Scalloped Circle die cut.

Here is a little closeup:

Here is a peek at the inside:

I love this storage system! My dies are easily accessible, all in one place, and this book takes up minimal space. I hope I have inspired you to create your own die storage system or come up with a good way to store your own dies.

Thanks for stopping by!
