"It is very important to our family to teach our girls about the true meaning of Easter but we also enjoy the fun of Easter eggs and pretty spring dresses! The girls are all too excited to put on a pretty dress and have their hair done and then they have to give a little twirl for daddy to show off their new dress. For my layout, I combined a few pink elements from Country Picnic with the happy colors of Hip Hip Hooray. I gave my layout a little fringe (grass) to ground it and then highlighted each photo with scallops. I added some texture with machine stitching."  - Jill Cornell, Pebbles … [Read more...]

"Happy Easter! I made this double-page layout about a little adventure I had last Easter. My husband had to be out of town over Easter weekend for a work thing. As a surprise, he left a ton of Easter eggs hidden around our house for me to find. I was still finding eggs days after he got back! Because I had quite a few pictures to scrap and so many different colors in the pictures, I tried to keep this layout pretty simple.

With Easter almost upon us we will be sharing projects with an Easter theme all week long on the Pebbles blog created by some of our talented design team members."For my Easter layout, I chose to use the Country Picnic collection.  The floral patterns and pastel colors reminded me of Easter.  And the Dimensional Flowers were just calling my name.  For my title banner, I printed out the letters using my word processor and then cut each one down to a pennant shape.  I adhered the twine to my page and then added the pennants.  So fun!"  - Aphra Bolyer, Pebbles Design … [Read more...]
