Ties and Tassels! / Jun 6th

Congratulations to all you graduates out there, be it from university, high school, junior high, elementary school, kindergarten, preschool… And congratulations to all you dads out there who paid for all that fancy education (have you seen the price of finger paints lately?).

To help you all celebrate, grads and children of dads, we’ve got some new Shapes up: mortarboard hats, diplomas, ties, toolboxes, and beer (it’s amazing how many holidays go with beer shapes).

Tie a Yellow Ribbon / May 22nd

One hundred thirty two years ago, Decoration Day was first observed in Waterloo, New York, to honor soldiers fallen in the Civil War. Since then, the holiday has evolved to include memorializing WWI, WWII, Korean, and Vietnam War Fallen, as well as those serving in current conflicts and those who served who never saw battle, by hanging a flag in the front yard, tying a ribbon in honor of family members in harm’s way, or sending hot dogs in to serve the noble cause of the first summer barbecue.

However you choose to observe Memorial Day, we invite you to use Picnik’s new Memorial Day icons, BBQ shapes, the yellow ribbon in our new Awareness Ribbons shapes section, and Picnik’s perennially wonderful fonts to create an ecard, invitation, or decorate a photo you’ve taken of the day, to create something worth memorializing on its own.

Happy Mother’s Day! / May 5th

Happy Mother’s Day from Picnik!Forget all the stress of cheesy greeting cards and too-slow postal travel times by making your favorite mom (or moms, or grandmoms, or favored aunt, or particularly maternal father) her (or their, or his) very own personalized, hand-made Mother’s Day greeting with our new selection of Mother’s Day shapes!

Whether a delicate bouquet of flowers or a super-bad tattoo on your arm declaring your devotion, just add a little text with your own personal message and sit back and wait for her (or their, or his) eyes to well up in misty gratitude.

Because, admit it, the ones you make yourself are more meaningful anyway.

Happy Easter! / Mar 21st

Easter’s come early this year, but we’re on top of things with a whole slew of shapes to help you photographically celebrate this happy and festive spring day! There are Easter lilies and chocolate rabbits, Easter eggs and the chickens that laid them, and everything else you’d need to embellish your Easter Egg Hunt, Easter Basket Opening, Easter Brunch, kids dressed in their Easter Sunday Best, or anything else that could be improved with jelly beans and peace doves.

Happy Easter from Picnik
