Design team member Maureen Blanc created this Earth Day layout using our So Tweet Collection.  Here’s what Maureen had to say … “This layout is the representation of fire (red), water (blue), ground (brown), animal’s world (with the birds) and vegetation (with the flowers and trees).  I work in the environment and it was a very fun theme for me to scrapbook.”

I really hope you enjoyed our celebration of Earth Day this week on the Pebbles blog.  We have lots of fun projects scheduled for next week as we team up with American Crafts.  Be sure to stop back and check it out! 

Design team member Lisa Johnson put our brand new collection Tree House to good use on this adorable card she created to celebrate the earth and all its beauty.  Here’s what Lisa had to say … “I have a gardening friend that will love getting a card that celebrates Earth Day!  I will tuck a packet a seeds inside as a little extra treat.  Little thinks like that can really show how much you care!”  Who wouldn’t love to receive this beautiful card, I know I sure would!

Design team member Sophia Allison created this sweet layout about her adorable baby celebrating spring and the newness of life.  Here’s what Sophia had to say … “I tried to keep the focal point on the photo of my newborn baby, Chloe.  Decorated with a splash of flowers scattered around to celebrate Spring, which means new life.”

Sophia sent me this last image of her layout … a butterfly (yes that’s a real butterfly) landed on her layout as she was taking photos of it and she quickly snapped another pic.  I think nature agrees that Sophia’s layout is simply beautiful!

Design team member Deanna Kroll created this adorable layout of her son and why Earth Day has a particularly special meaning to her.  Here’s what Deanna had to say … “My son was the inspiration behind this layout for Earth Day.  Earth Day is special to me for more than just being able to celebrate making out planet better.  It’s also very special because my son was born on Earth Day back in 2004. Each year is quite easy for me to remember my son’s special day because I think of him and Earth Day together, and we try to do something for Earth Day together on this day and make it a “BEarthday.”  Adorable Deanna – I love the paper hills with trees and flowers!

Design team member Emeline Seet created a fun card using paper scraps and recycled cardboard with this theme in mind.  Here’s what Emeline had to say … “I created a card using paper scraps.  I cut the circles using scallop edged scissors and pieced the pieces to create a tree.  Recycled corrugated cardboard was used to create a little texture.”

Design team member Lisa Warren created this fun layout of her son enjoying the beach with some recycled items with fun patterns and textures.  Here’s what Lisa had to say … “When I think of Earth Day, I instantly think of recycling and ways that I can incorporate everyday products into my layouts, instead of throwing them out!  For this layout, I have repurposed a used takeaway coffee cup and a packing box.  The waffle pattern on the coffee cup was just fabulous, and it was easy to peel the outer layer off, then punch out into stars.  The stars were finished off with Pebbles Candy Dots.  I also peeled the top layer off the packing box to reveal the waffle core.  This box actually held all of the Pebbles Inc products sent to me when I joined the DT … love that I’ve reused it for a Pebbles layout!  Have a look around your surroundings and see what you can reuse.”  Lovely Lisa!

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 3×3 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.”
