Doll Face

Okay so I'm addicted to my planner. I will be the first to admit it. But there is just something about having a functional planner that can make my life seem so much more at peace. I know whats going on with the kids and I know where everything goes AND to boot I can make it pretty. Everything is better with some glitter and pink added to it. 

SOOOOO...today's post showcases some really fun paperclips that I made using the adorable new stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps called Matryoshka Mom. 

These stamps are just the cutest and when paired with some Prismacolors and pretty paper you have fun little gifts that you can give to neighbors as Thank you's or on Mother's Day to those special women in your life. 

I just love them. I hope you all enjoy seeing planner stuff because I'm addicted to it lol. Have a great week!

Hugs,

Raven

Nesting Doll Thanks!

Matryoshka Mom is a darling new set from Pretty Cute Stamps.

The sentiments cover pregnancy, gratitude, Mother's Day...

and general adorable-ness!

I kept this layout simple so your eye is focused on the dolls and the colors combo.

Remember, Mother's Day is in a month. Don't be last minute in a gift! 

And..thank you mom any month...not just May!

March 2015 Stamp Release Blog Hop

Happy Release Day, everyone, and welcome to the Pretty Cute Stamps March 2015 Release Blog Hop. Woo HOO! My fantastic Design Team and I have some super cute projects to show you today that we created using the very newest PCS stamps.

But first, I want to show you all of the new stamps you can purchase now in the Pretty Cute Stamps Store. Oh, and, most importantly...all of the new items (even the bundle) and the featured stamp set are ON SALE until 11:59 EST on Thursday, April 2, 2015. YAY! Anyway...here they are. You can find all of these new items in the PCS store HERE.

 March 2015 Stamp Release Bundle

 Forest Friends 4x6" Stamp Set

 Gnomies 4x6" Stamp Set

Matryoshka Mom 4x4" Stamp Set

The SVG Outlines for the images on each of these new sets are also now available in the store. So, if you're not one who likes fussy-cutting around images and has access to an electronic cutting machine that can use SVG files, these could be a great resource for you. The stamp images are not included with these files...you need the stamp sets for those. Oh, and these SVG Outlines are also ON SALE until Tuesday night, too!

Okay, here are my projects that use the Forest Friends stamp set:

I used the sweet little deer and a fun sentiment from the Forest Friends set for this shadow box card (psssttttt...the card base is available for FREE below...today only). I colored the deer and mushrooms (from the Gnomies set) with my Copic Markers.

I also decided to add a cute little sentiment to this Lip Balm Fox (which was a sneak peek freebie yesterday). That tail turned out to be the perfect place for a sentiment from the Forest Friends set.

Okay, now how about a PRIZE????

March Sneak Peeks Day 1

YIPPEE!!!! March Sneak Peeks start today! Woop, woop! We'll be showing you sneak peek projects for one stamp set a day during the next 3 days. Then, we'll have the March Release Blog Hop on Saturday, and the new stamps will be ON SALE! YAY! Plus, I'll be sharing a free Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons file with you each day of the sneaks and release. So, without further ado...here are the sneaks of our first stamp set: Matryoshka Mom.

Karla Yungwirth from Creative Love Affair created this darling little Mother's Day Card. How sweet is this? Be sure to check out her blog to find out all of the details about her project.

Larissa Pittman from Muffins and Lace created a fun card, too. I love the way using different colors can create such a different feel. You can find more details on Larissa's blog.

And, to go along with this set, I have a sweet little Matryoshka Doll to share with you for FREE today only. This file includes SVG, DXF, JPG, and PNG files, so if you don't have a cutting machine, you could still use the clipart image. Click on the photo to go to the download page. Then, just click ORDER at the bottom of the page and go through the checkout process (don't worry...you won't have to enter any payment information of any kind).

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for more sneak peek projects.
