Happy Monday everyone!  This week on the blog we are celebrating our third and final new release from this past CHA … May Bouquet!  We have lots more inspirational projects in store for you this week so get ready to sit back and be inspired.  May Bouquet gives a vintage feel to delicate sentiments with a muted color pattern and lovely designs.  Perfect to commemorate weddings, spring time or the everyday.

Design team member Ginnifer Maloney created this lovely card trio using the new May Bouquet collection.  Here’s what Ginnifer had to say … “For my project I decided to make some cards.  I love how easy it was to put these cards together using the May Bouquet collection! I’m not usually a card maker, but I was surprised at how fast and easy these were to make especially because most of the work is done for you in the stickers and rub ons.  And the paper flowers and 3×3 cards are the perfect size to adapt to any card.”

Design team member Pam Callaghan created this fabulous layout using lots of Tree House goodies.  Here’s what Pam had to say … “My goal with this page was to create a fun, colorful design with lots of flowers and clouds. I did lots of machine stitching on my page and cut out a lot of the elements such as flowers and clouds. I loved the sticker title “so tweet” and matched that with some letter stickers! I finished off my design with a rub-on butterfly right over the title.”

Design team member Suzanne Sergi created a sweet card to share with us today.  Here’s what Suzanne had to say … “One of my favorite additions to the Pebbles Tree House collection are the 3×3 cards. I love all the wonderful sentiments! They are perforated which makes it easy to tear and place onto the canvas of your card. One of the most difficult things for me is to come up with cute sentiment designs. This is already done for you and I love the sweet designs. I love Tree House for its bold colors, so I wanted to make a “happy” card. I added a bit of patterned paper and ribbon to embellish. I love layers on my projects, so I made my own scallop butterfly to complete this card.”

I (Lynn Ghahary) created a few cards with this new collection to share with you today.  Truth be told I had created a trio of cards but one of them has already been picked up for publication (oops!) so I can only share two of them with you today.  LOL!  Now I know my mom always told me it’s not nice to play favorites but I have to say that out of all of our new releases Tree House holds the top spot for me.  I adore the colors in this collection and the patterns are just so fun and whimsical!

Design team member Lisa Warren had lots of fun with our new Tree House collection on this layout of her son.  Here’s what Lisa had to say … “The Tree House collection is so fun!  The colours are vibrant, the patterns are whimsical yet graphic and incredibly inspiring.  They are just perfect for little boy themed layouts.  The new Tree House word stickers, chips and letters are so fun, and I love the addition of the new Pebbles Inc “Stackers” to the collection.  Here I have stapled the red transparent leaves along the “vein” to the cardstock, and I love that you can see the patterned paper through the green leaf. Pebbles Inc have outdone themselves with this collection, and I am so thrilled to play with it!”

Design team member Sophia Allison created this sweet layout of her sweet daughter with this new collection.  Here’s what Sophia had to say … “When I saw the Tree House collection I just knew they would work so well with my little Chloe dressed as a ladybug for her 2nd birthday.  I used white as the background so that photos and embellishments would pop right off the page and give it a great contrast of freshness and spring.  I fussy cute the flowers and some of the vines out of the patterned paper.”
