Hey everyone!  First things first, we have a winner to announce from last week’s Product Parade blog post.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment.  There were some really great ideas shared about how you would use our brand new Felt Embellishments in your next project.  And the lucky winner is …

 

Congratulations Laura!  Please email your full name and mailing information to pebblesincdt(at)gmail(dot)com and put “Felt Embellishments Winner” in the subject line. 

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, this week on the Pebbles blog is all about being grateful.  Our design team members have created projects to celebrate who (or what) they are thankful for.  On behalf of the entire Pebbles design team and staff I would just like to take a moment to say that we are grateful for you, our blog readers, and your continued support of our products and our design team.  So thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.  🙂

Design team member Kim Kesti certainly has a lot to be grateful for and created this beautiful layout and coordinating card to document her gratitude.  Here’s what Kim had to say … “I am certainly blessed by a large healthy family; it felt really good to create this layout to celebrate that gratitude. I cut leaves with my Quickutz dies from a large variety of patterned paper. I love that so many different lines have colors that coordinate. In fact, I made so many leaves that I had extra and decided to make a quick “Thank You” card with the leftovers. What are you grateful for today?”

Design team member Anna Sigga created this sweet layout about the special bond between her daughter and cousin.  Here’s what Anna had to say … “I was really stuck regarding the “Grateful” theme for a while but then it hit me – of course I can create a layout without using the title Grateful, it’s the feeling that counts isn’t it? So I decided to create a layout about the amazing bond between my older daughter and her cousin Isabella. Isabella lives in Florida so the girls only see each other every 2 years or so – plus my lil one doesn’t speak English. I was amazed to see such a strong bond between those two – no matter how far apart they are or the language barrier they managed to create such a strong connection.”

Design team member Suzanne Sergi created this sweet card to show her appreciation to her knitting instructor.  Here’s what Suzanne had to say … “I have always wanted to learn how to knit or crochet. Well, my best friend scheduled a private session so I could begin to achieve this goal. I fell in love with all the color and the different textures. It was overwhelming, but I was so happy to finally be able to learn this craft. Our instructor was simply amazing. She used generic terms, and was very patient with me. I am starting out with a scarf, and although I kept having to start over, I knew I had found a new hobby! I wanted to show my gratitude to her. Of course, for me it is through my love of scrapbooking! I created a card to simply let her know, I appreciate the kindness and patience shown to me. The Twitterpated Collection was the perfect color palette to express my gratitude to her.”

Hey everyone!  We are wrapping up the week with a few “free for all” projects from some of our design team members.

First up, I (Lynn Ghahary) created this quick and easy card using the Cats & Dogs collection.  I love Pebbles rub ons – they go on like butter – and with a sentiment like “just because” I can use this card for any occasion.  And who can resist those adorable dimensional stickers.  I know I can’t!

Design team member Wendy Sue Anderson created this beautiful altered frame perfect for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.  Here’s what Wendy Sue had to say … “I wanted to create something fun to put on my table to decorate for Thanksgiving.  I love the colors in the Cats & Dogs collection and thought they would be great for autumn leaves.  I mixed in some browns from the New Arrival collection and came up with this framed piece to display in my family room.”

Design team member Savitri Wilder used Pebbles chalk stencils to create this striking baby card.  Here’s what Savitri had to say … “When I saw the stencils I knew right away what I wanted to do. So I grabbed a white piece of cardstock, very lightly traced the umbrella image with a pencil, and with my paper piercing tool I carefully pierced little holes around the outline. I didn’t use any sort of measurement, I just simply eye-balled it. After all that was done I grabbed some embroidery thread and while talking to hubby I stitched. A sweet little embellishment later and a sentiment I got this little card. When I think of newborn babies I always think of how sweet and innocent they are and there’s nothing more perfect than a little congratulation card which reflects that.”

Baby Girl Chalk Stencils (742098)

Product Parade: Felt Embellishments plus a GIVEAWAY!

Hey everyone! Today we are focusing on one of my favorite new products from Pebbles … Felt Embellishments!  Felt Embellishments are a unique way to introduce some texture and dimension to your paper projects.  The best part is that all the hard work is done for you and since the Felt Embellishments are self-adhesive all you have to do is peel and stick.  Felt Embellishments are featured in the New Arrival Girl and Boy collections and the Cats & Dogs collection. 

Design team member Laura Vegas used the New Arrival Girl Felt Embellishments to create these adorable hair clips perfect for the birthday girl.  Here’s what Laura had to say … “When I saw these cute felt flower embellishments, I thought they would be fun to use on hair accessories for little girls. I created these hairclips, using a piece of brown dotted ribbon and a felt flower embellishment for the center. A fun way to give these hairclips to a little girl, is to use them on an actual card. I created this Happy Birthday card, and clipped the hairclips right onto the paper, to act as flowers. They simply pull off the card, ready to be used.”

Design team member Mimi Leinbach also used the New Arrival Girl Felt Embellishments on her project.  Here’s what Mimi had to say … “The thing that appeals to me about these new lines is that there are so many fun embellishments and that they are not just for “babies”. I have now done several layouts with the New Arrival collections and not a single one of them has been a “baby” layout. I love the new rub-ons…layering them made for a great background for my monogram. The mix of ribbon, journaling spots, alphabet stickers, felt embellishments, candy dots, flowers, buttons in all these great shades make creating a layout so fun and easy. This is my pretty niece Adrienne…the pinks and browns in this line are a beautiful combo for a little girl’s layout!”

Design team member Zoe Nemburt also used the New Arrival Girl Felt Embellishments – this time on an adorable card set!  Here’s what Zoe had to say … “I love embellishments, always have, and these super cute felt flowers that arrived with the New Arrival Girl collection just screamed “CARD SET!” They made my job really super easy, they have a foam backing on them too if you don’t need so much dimension they are easy enough to peel off, but for me the more dimension the better.”

Whip It Up Wednesday

Happy Wednesday everyone! Is the week halfway over already? The days are flying by and if you’re short on time (like I am) then you’ll love today’s post. I challenged some of our design team members to whip up up a project in 30 minutes or less.

Design team member Melinda Spinks usually takes her time when creating projects so keeping her project to less than 30 minutes was a real challenge for her.  I’d say she aced it with flying colors, how about you?  Here’s what Melinda had to say … “When Lynn first presented me with the challenge of doing a project in 30 minutes I laughed … I have never done anything in under 3 hours, even a card! So I took up the challenge and decided I needed a plan. My daughter came up with the idea as she wanted to give a gift to a friend who’s gorgeous old dog had been ill recently. So the project was chosen, paper and embellishments at the ready, tools sharpened and in-hand, stop-watch set to 30 minutes and I was off! I must admit there was some fast and furious cutting and sticking, punching and chalking but I did it and had exactly 1 minute 27 seconds to spare! I have never seen my table in such a mess but I don’t think clean up was scheduled into the time frame! Now my daughter has a sweet gift for her friend’s pooch and I have a new personal record for speed scrapping!”

Cats & Dogs Fetch (751045)
