Archives for May 2010

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Ours was pretty low key which is just the way I like it – sometimes we just need those types of weekends to unwind and recoup for the craziness that lies ahead, don’t you agree?  Today on the blog we’ll be mixing and matching some Pebbles products to show you just how well our collections can be used with one another.

First up is design team member Cherie Nymeyer who created this incredibly sweet layout about her new family.  Here’s what Cherie had to say … “The Giddy paper from the Twitterpated collection matched so well with the May Bouquet collection that it made mixing and matching these two collections a breeze!”

Design team member Pam Callaghan used both the Twitterpated and May Bouquet collections in this loving layout about her husband.  Here’s what Pam had to say … “”I created this page about how much I love my husband.  I mixed the collections Twitterpated and May Bouquet.  They went together so well and the colors really complimented my layout.  I used the main colors pink, yellow and green and accented my page with some yellow flowers!”

Design team member Liz Qualman created this lovely card using this new collection.  Here’s what Liz had to say … “I love the soft pastel colors in the May Bouquet collection and especially how it coordinates with many of the Pebbles Ribbons and Candy Dots.  I also really like how Kraft paper has made a comeback in the industry and was pleased with how well the patterned papers coordinated with it.  I used a punch on the purple side of the Patio paper to make it pop against the beautiful floral pattern on the other side.  The green polka dot ribbon made a perfect bow and focal point from which to attach the word sticker with some pop dots for added dimension.”
