You're A Hoot PPbN Designs file

Hello everyone! I decided to show you how I plan a layout and sometimes decide to change things. I always take a picture before I glue down my pieces to see if I like how I have things laid out.

 I decided I needed a moon behind the owl so I went into my Silhouette Design Studio and I just made a circle and pulled it off the page a little bit and cut.

 I put pop dots behind the owl and some of the flowers to give  added dimension to my page.

 I added some accents to my words and some of the flowers to make them pop a little.

Zoo layout

Our zoo is on a mountain side and the view is so gorgeous but today I am only going to show you the giraffe enclosure. This is so different because we fed the giraffes lettuce and you could pet them, take your picture with them and even have them lick you. For this layout I used the Through Thick and thin file. I inked my edges with powder puff chalking ink.

 For the eyes I used a uni ball Signo white pen for the white areas, the blue accent is a colored pencil. For the lashes I used a black colored pencil to draw a black line around part of the eye and smudged it with a paper nib and odorless mineral spirits (both can be found at Michael's) and the the lashes are drawn on with a .05 black marker.( I use Prismcolor brand).

 This title was made using fonts from my computer and a mountain from the Silhouette store.

You're My Favorite M&M for PPbN Designs

You're My Favorite layout for this weeks blog post. I love this file and have used it often on projects for my grandkids. You can use just one of the bears or all of them like I did here. The bears are cute all by themselves. I inked the edges of the bears with powder puff chalking ink from Quick Quotes. (Mocha Mama) The paper is Bazzil Cardstock and the border is from the Sil store. I cut my frames at 4 x 6 and added ribbon to the edge. I left  pieces open so I could slide pictures underneath my embellishments. The bears and M & M were sized so the M & M was 4 inches wide. (you could size them down even further since pieces are simple)


You're My Favorite M&M file is here.

Campin Crazy 4 page layout

Good Morning! Well, it is Monday again and this is my post for PPbN Designs blog. I made a 4 page layout using the Campin Crazy file. I added the moon from Love You to The Moon and Back. I made the pieces from the Campin Crazy file and quickly realized that I would need  more than two pages.

 I inked most of the pieces. Here are close ups of some of the pieces.

For the title I used the alpha that came with the file and another one off my computer. I laid out the letters the way I wanted them to look and then offset twice. Hope you enjoyed and hope you have a wonderful week.

Olaf HTV on bow

Olaf

This is my first try at layering HTV.  I used pieces of HTV that a friend gave me so I don't know what kind it is but I choose a glitter white, a black, and two oranges. Well I decided that the 2 nd orange piece was too small so I just used one.

 This is how I laid out my pieces. I placed the mouth on the white layer since I was placing it on top of the black layer. I remembered to mirror the image on this but my first try on a shirt I forgot that step.

 My pieces cut and weeded.

 I placed and ironed the black, then the white and then the orange.

Finished bow.

 This is my first try on my daughters shirt. The file can be found here. You can check out all the files on PPbNDesigns.com

KadoodleBug Designs Stork

This is for this bi weekly challenge for KadoodleBug Challenge. The file I used was Stork and Baby. The paper was a Bazzill paper pack I purchased at Tuesday Morning.

3-D drill for Father's Day

Well I loved the wrench so much I decided to make the drill and I love it, too. I'm not sure but I think I will put a gift card in this one because the box is small but I will take it to the store and see what will fit. The file is from the Silhouette store from Snapdragon Snippets.

Wrench candy bar holder

I just thought this was sooooo cute I had to make it for my Father In Law for father's day. Now I have to go get a candy bar for it.

Mickey Ear book PPbN files

I decided to add two more pages to my Mickey Ear book. The princess page was made by just adding a crown to the Mickey file and welding, the Mouse Treats is a file I just enlarged found here.

A giveaway

This is a ppbndesigns.com paper piecing that I am giving away. It is my practice piecing so not perfect but will still make a cute layout. I always cut two sets so the best are placed on my layouts for my blog posts, but I don't want to just throw this away. I will draw a name from the comments here on my blog Thursday morning. I will send the piecing to that person in the mail as soon as I have an address. Good luck everyone.

Just a video of some of my projects from this year.

Picnic Time Layout

Good morning, this is Janice with the PPbN Designs blog post for today. I love picnics so this layout was perfect for my summertime pictures. You can find the file here. I didn't change this file other than the background paper and the borders. I do usually make my mats to fit a regular sized photo so I did change one of those, also. Hope you enjoy these cute little ants. I think they will be showing up on other layouts I design.
