Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you an update on our Design Team call. I know many of you are probably wondering when acceptance emails will be sent and the new design team posted. We had intended to have our choices made by the end of July and the new team announced on the blog early next week. However, we’ve run into a few delays and are now looking to have our choices made by the end of next week (hopefully by August 7th) and the new team announced on the blog shortly after that. I want to apologize for the delay and thank you in advance for your patience and continued support of the Pebbles brand.

Design team member Suzanne Sergi created this amazing mini album using the Twitterpated collection. Seriously so many details to enjoy! Here’s what Suzanne had to say … “I have been wanting to create a small mini with the Twitterpated Collection. This past Valentine’s Day I had a photo shoot with my children. I had taken a lot of photos and I wanted to tuck a few inside a small chipboard album. I love the colors of this collection, because they are a perfect palette for documenting those you love. From the paper to the brads, this collection is all you need to complete pages or an album. A few extra details make it extra special. This small mini sits on my scrapbook desk that serves two purposes: inspiration and a reminder of how lucky I am to be the Mother of three beautiful children.”
And here are just a few of the inside pages of this gorgeous album …

Design team member Ginnifer Maloney used the May Bouquet collection on this spring themed layout. Here’s what Ginnifer had to say … “I love the bright colors of the May Bouquet collection. They are perfect for spring themed layouts and when spring time rolls around, it usually means Grampa is going to be bringing home a new animal for his little farm. This time it was baby goats! The yellows and oranges in these papers was perfect for these pictures.”

The brads were perfect to show her flying off from the swing!”

They are so fun to add to any projects. Look at how much fun they are on this friendship card. So much cheer in the patterns in the centers. Also, the shine that comes from the light hitting the epoxy adds it’s own special dimension … making the card even more bright and cheery!”

Dear Pebbles
Happy Wednesday everyone! Can you believe the week is already half over – I feel like it has just flown by. We have some cards to share with you today on the Pebbles blog.
First up I (Lynn Ghahary) created this card using the rub ons from our Tree House collection. I used this adorable birdie image as the inspiration for my card. I simply adhered the rub on to some white cardstock, punched it out with a square scallop punch, and adhered it to a brown mat with dimensional adhesive. I also used another rub on for the “hi” sentiment. Easy peasy!

Design team member Mirielle Divjak created this perfectly sweet note card using our equally sweet Twitterpated collection. Here’s what Mireille had to say … “I find it terribly hard to create cards. The truth is … I am not a card person. I hardly ever make cards and I think this may be the third card I have made in my life! On the good side what I love so much about Pebbles rub ons and stickers is that they make life so much easier when it comes to card making … especially if you’re not too great with cards like me! ;)”

How To Tuesday
Hi everyone! We have another edition of “How To Tuesday” brought to you today by design team member Deanna Kroll. Deanna shows you how to create an altered oil reed jar. Now wouldn’t that be just the perfect (and yummy smelling) addition to your craft space? Here’s what Deanna had to say “I have a fun and easy project for you all to make. This is nice because you can use the oil reed jars, candle jars, or anything else that is made out of glass that is a decorative piece, like vases or even glasses.”
First you will need to gather your supplies:
- Rub Ons (I used the Tree House Rub Ons)
- Popsicle stick or tool to adhere your rub ons
- Glass jar (reed diffuser jar, candle holder jar, vase, etc)
I decided to use a reed diffuser jar that I have from Party Lite candles. I just hate to throw away the used jars as they can be recycled nicely after the oils run out.
The first thing I did with this jar is decorate the wooden bottle neck. It’s really a fun and easy way to add some personalization and the Pebbles Rub Ons go on very nicely and are easy to adhere. I started out by measuring the rub ons to see how well they would fit around the bottle neck. I had to use 2 different patterns for this. I cut them apart as shown in the photo in order to create a nice border around the bottle neck.
Next, line up your rub ons how you want them to appear on the bottle neck and hold them down with one hand as you adhere them to your object of choice as you can see I did here in this next photo.
