Guest Designer: Kelly Noel plus a GIVEAWAY!

70 Comments

Hi everyone! I am so excited to introduce you to this week’s Guest Designer Kelly Noel.  Let’s get to know Kelly a little better …

Describe yourself in 3 words … fun, sarcastic, happy.

My guilty pleasure is … Days of Our Lives – I’ve been watching since college and still can’t get enough.

You’ll never find me without … my iphone – so addicting!

You might be surprised to know that I … used to be a picky eater, but now will eat almost anything!

My least favorite chore is … cleaning bathrooms – I have 2 young boys.  😛

I started scrapbooking in . . . high school.  My first scrapbook was of my junior/senior trip to Europe.

My favorite thing about this hobby is . . . the friends I’ve made through the years. I love connecting with others who are just like me and that really “get it.”

If I were a Pebbles product I would be . . . the entire Happy Go Lucky line! It’s so bright and fun!

Kelly created so many amazing projects for us this week.  I especially love her use of the negative space of her punched hearts on this sweet summertime layout.  Here’s what Kelly had to say … “I wanted this layout to have a playful summery feel to match these photos of my son and two of his friends playing in the water at the beach. I mixed some of the Happy Go Lucky, Everafter and Floral Lane papers and used some white mist on the cardstock background. The Happy Go Lucky Toothpick Flags were the perfect accent for my title block.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Happy Go Lucky Cloud Nine (751090)
Happy Go Lucky Thrilled (751088)
Happy Go Lucky Toothpick Flags (747067)
Happy Go Lucky Buttons (747069)
Floral Lane My Darling (751126)
Floral Lane Icon Stickers (732056)
Floral Lane Phrase Stickers (732054)

Floral Lane ABC Stickers – Pink (732053)
Floral Lane Button Candy Dots Pink (747114)
Floral Lane Button Candy Dots Aqua (747113)
Ever After Glass Slipper (751109)

Other supplies used:
Stickers (Basic Grey for Studio Calico)
Mist (Studio Calico)

Here’s what Kelly had to say about her next project … “I recently took these photos of my boys with my Mom and knew I wanted to print them in color and go w/the aqua/orange/green/white color scheme to match the photos. I pulled most of the papers from Floral Lane and Happy Go Lucky that had those colors and mixed them up here. I used a border punch for three of the papers along the bottom edge of my photo block for added interest.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Floral Lane My Darling (751126)
Floral Lane A Little Hello (751118)
Floral Lane Icon Stickers (732056)
Floral Lane Phrase Stickers (732054)
Floral Lane Button Candy Dots Aqua (747113)
Happy Go Lucky Cloud Nine (751090)
Happy Go Lucky Carefree (751083)

Happy Go Lucky Fabric Brads (747077)
Happy Go Lucky Buttons (747069)

Other supplies used:

Stickers (Basic Grey for Studio Calico)
Mist (Studio Calico)

Kelly also created two cards for us today.  Here’s what she had to say about her first card … “I love using phrase stickers for cards … they make it so quick and simple! Here I used two of the Floral Lane papers along with the phrase sticker. To accent the card, I made a ribbon flower and then added a flower brad from the Mr. & Mrs. line to the center.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Floral Lane A Little Hello (751118)
Floral Lane You’re Sweet (751121)
Floral Lane Phrase Stickers (732054)
Mr. & Mrs. Rose Brads (747089)

Here’s what Kelly had to say about her next card … “As soon as I saw that pretty banner paper from the Ever After line, I knew I wanted to cut one of the banners out. The small size was perfect to fit along the top of my card and I adhered it with foam adhesive to really give it some dimension. I love mixing fonts … especially script and non-script fonts together, so these alphas were perfect for that.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Ever After Magical Forest (751110)
Ever After Royal Banner (751115)
Happy Go Lucky Carefree (751083)

Happy Go Lucky Fabric Brads (747077)
Happy Go Lucky Black ABC Stickers (732035)

Floral Lane Pink ABC Stickers (732053)
Floral Lane Aqua Candy Dots (747113)

Thank you so much Kelly for creating so many amazing projects with Pebbles!  What a great way to kick off the long holiday weekend.  And now for a GIVEAWAY!  To enter simply leave a comment on this blog post telling us which of Kelly’s projects was your favorite as well as what your plans are for this weekend.  One lucky winner will be chosen at random to win a prize pack full of Pebbles goodies.  Submit your comments by Monday at midnight (EST).  I’ll announce the winner Tuesday morning.  Good luck!

    I love her “The Best” layout. Great pictures, great design – it’s so simple but not boring. It reminds me that even the best layouts don’t need lots of bells and whistles.

    This weekend I’m cleaning the house. Woo.

    Love the send layout called “The Best”. Love how everything matches and the spots all over the page.
    My weekend plans are, we are going to start a new tradition starting this year for the 4th of July as in March we lost my fiance’s dad to cancer. We haven’t decided what exactly we are going to do yet but we are going to make it most likely low key and to make sure that we spend it together. I do know we are going to have a BBQ one of the days so looking forward to that in this Florida sunshine weather.

    I love Kelly’s “good life” page – now that is a reason to live in Florida! 🙂 The sun, the wave, the toothpick flags – all perfectly placed!
    Don’t have many plans for this weekend…fireworks were cancelled because it’s just too dry here in TX (boo!). So hope to just relax and hang out with my family (and maybe scrap too!).

    4th of July plans, I am so very fortunate that I get to be nursemaid to my daughter Colette who was in a terrible car accident on Thursday. She ended up with a broken neck, but will be ok. We are so grateful to all those that helped her. Just brought her home from the hospital today!

  52. Rea says

    July 3, 2011 at 2:28 am

  59. Raechelle says

    July 3, 2011 at 8:24 pm

    these are all beautiful projects, but the second, ‘The Best’, is my favorite. The overall design and colors are wonderful.
    No plans this weekend, just staying home with a sick kiddo.
    Happy 4th everyone!

    July 3, 2011 at 9:22 pm
