Theme Week: Earth Day!

Hi everyone!  In honor of Earth Day this coming Thursday, April 22nd I've asked some of our design team members to create a project with this theme in mind.  As a nature lover myself I was excited to see what this talented group of ladies came up with and they most certainly did not disappoint! 

Design team member Liz Qualman created this fabulous layout using some of our new Tree House collection - perfect for a project with a nature theme!  Here's what Liz had to say ... "For Earth Day I wanted to send the message that our planet is just as important to the animals as it is to humans and since animals cannot voice their concerns, humans need to be better advocates for our furry friends.  I snapped this photo while hiking a few summers ago and was surprised that the little guy in the photo did not have much fear of us, but then he lives in a national forest where he and his environment are protected.  I used my circle cutter to make the square 3x3 journal tag into a round one and if you look closely, you can see that instead of saying so sweet like the original tag, it now says SOS.  I made the message on the tag come from the fox's point of view, "I need this planet as much as you do.  Please keep it clean for all of us. - Mr. Fox."

Design team member Mimi Leinbach not only created a project with a nature theme but recycled a paint chip and used paper scraps for her project - how clever!  Here's what Mimi had to say ... "I could not do an Earth Day project without including recycling of some sort.  To create my background I used a large paint chip made by Behr Paint.  All the paper used in this project came straight from my Pebbles scrap bin."
