Design team member Jennifer Yates created this adorable layout perfect for spring using the “Bugs” Layered Embellishments.  Here’s what Jennifer had to say … “I had so much fun playing with the Pebbles Layered Embellishments.  I used the butterfly, dragonfly and lady bug for my layout and thought it was the perfect compliment to the photo of my daughter playing in the tall grass on a Spring day.  I added a bit stitching in white and pink to create movement on the page.”

Design team member Samantha Sibbet made me squeal out loud when she sent me this cute card for the blog using our “Toys for Boys” Layered Embellishments.  I LOVE the “baby” trail of stitching!  Here’s what Samantha had to say … “Pebbles is really good about keeping scrapbpooking and paper crafting FUN.  I love the new line of layered embellishments, there are so many to choose from, the designs are adorable and I love the colors!  To make this card, I made a template of the word baby, layered it over my pattered paper, pierced holes and hand stitched.”

Design team member Laura Vegas created this cute and “pun”ny (get it? hee!) card set using the “Yellow/Orange Fruits” Layered Embellishments.  Here’s what Laura had to say … “When I first saw the fruit set of layered embellishments, I immediately thought of making cute and funny cards using them. There are so many fun sentiments you can come up with, by using a play on words for each fruit. You can even google sentiments, which is what I did for the lemon card. The obvious choice would be “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. But if you got my lemon card in the mail, when you were feeling down on things, wouldn’t my sentiment put a smile on your face ;)”

Design team member Christa Paustenbaugh created this beautiful layout using our “Clouds” Layered Embellishments.  Here’s what Christa had to say … “I am in love with all the new cute layered embellishments Pebbles came out with this release.  I had a hard time choosing which ones to use, but I’m a bit of a cloud fanatic so I knew these were perfect!  Although these are adhered together really well, it is still manageable to deconstruct and reconstruct them to use how you wish.  I took a button off of one and replaced with a glitter dot, then took the top layer off of another felt cloud and added it to a larger.  Very easy!”

Design team member Kim Kesti created this graphic card just in time for the upcoming graduation season using the “White/Silver Stars” Layered Embellishments.  Here’s what Kim had to say … “I thought it would be fun to stock up on a few graduation cards before the big rush and these felt embellishments are just the perfect accent. I love how rich they look on this card. After finishing it, I realized it would also be super fun framed, as a gift for the graduate! Since the stars are gray, you could add any school color for an accent.”

Design team member Suzanne Sergi created this joyful layout using lots of Happy Go Lucky papers and our “Blue Buttons” Layered Embellishments.  Here’s what Suzanne had to say … “When I came across this sweet photo of my little girl, I knew the Happy Go Lucky collection was the perfect match. Macie has such a colorful personality that is big and bold. The Glee paper is designed with big and beautiful flowers that simply made my photo pop off the canvas. I used a diecut to be the background for the lovely flower stickers in this collection. I needed one final detail for this page, so I turned to the fabulous new Layered Embellishments collection. With a huge assortment to choose from, I finished the top of my page with one big felt button. I love the added texture it gives my page!”

My favorite are these fruits with faces on them. I created these egg stands for our eggs to be displayed before Easter Sunday – when they all will take a dip in some color!
