Hi everyone! The theme for this week on the blog is Easter. I’ve asked some members of our design team to come up with projects to reflect this theme and they’ve done a wonderful job!

Design team member Cherie Nymeyer created this adorable card perfect for Easter. Here’s what Cherie had to say … “I haven’t celebrated Easter in a while so I was a little intimidated to create something with that theme. However, I’ve always wanted to try a shaped card so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. I’m really happy with my “easter egg” card and will be mailing it off to someone special!” Thank you Cherie for the inspiration!

Design team member Liz Qualman created another sweet layout using our Pebbles Chips. Here’s what Liz had to say … “I snapped this photo of my daughter at the zoo last Spring and love how the Pebbles Lil’ Miss papers have the same color palette as the flamingos. I thought it was a good contrast to use the yellow Pebbles Chips and Ribbon. It’s so cool how you can color the chips or leave them plain, which I chose to do for this layout because the white was also a nice compliment to the clean and simple lines of my layout. Nothing is complete without a few Pebbles Candy Dots and I try to incorporate them as often as I can.” Adorable Liz!
