Michelle says, "For these cards I was inspired by the festive colors that remind me so much of spring and a hint of summer. I went with a 'garden' theme and made little spring scenes to accompany the sentiments. I went with non-tradtional colors for the grass in the Life is Good card. I loved that green paper so much that I wanted it as the base of the card. And so as not to make them too similar, I used some shears for the grass on the second card. Going with a theme always helps me work through a card set!"

Susan says, "I love the flower shaped buttons that Pebbles makes, yet don't create alot of girly pages (being the mom of two boys!). I love to use all of these fun girly embellies on the cards that I create. Placing the flower shaped buttons on my 'i love you' card was the perfect finishing touch."

Becky says, "One of my favorite products from the Ever After line is the jewel flourishes. I like how fun and colorful they are. One thing to remember is that you don't have to use them as-is, you can cut them smaller and use them to best suit your projects as I have done with a little piece here and there."
