Theme: Inspired By

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  This week on the Pebbles blog I have asked some of our design team members to create projects based on an inspiration piece of their choice.  I've loved seeing how our talented designers gather inspiration and translate it into their projects and I know you will too!

First up, design team member Mandie Pierce created not one but two projects for us today.  Mandie found inspiration for her first project via this adorable birth announcement ...

Here's what Mandie had to say ... "I repinned this cute birth announcement from Stephanie Baxter on Pinterest.  I thought it would make a fun layout for the birth announcement for my nephew.  (Isn't he adorable???)  This was a REALLY fast layout.  I used stars instead of hearts.  I just punched them out with a couple of punches and glued them down in random spots."

And here's what Mandie had to say ... "I LOVE the elephant in the New Addition line and was very excited to see it in the Silhouette store!  I also love the font of the "hello" rub-ons and was even more excited to see that in the Silhouette store as well.  I like the elephants standing on top of each other.  I thought this would make a really cute wall hanging for a kids' room or a baby shower."
