Mix & Match Monday

Jul

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. Today on the Pebbles blog we’ll be mixing and matching some Pebbles products to show you just how well our collections can be used with one another.

Design team member Zoe Nemburt created this colorful layout using the Floral Lane and Happy Go Lucky collections. Here’s what Zoe had to say … “I LOVE Mix & Match Monday – I decided to mix Happy Go Lucky and Floral Lane since they go together so so well. These pictures were perfect for the fun colours in these paper lines.”

Guest Designer: Sarah Klemish

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

Describe yourself in 3 words … laid back, homebody, personable.

My guilty pleasure is … Diet Pepsi and Peanut M&M’s.

You’ll never find me without … a cup of ice to chew on.

You might be surprised to know that I … do not own any scrapping mists or inks.

My least favorite chore is … laundry.

I started scrapbooking in … 2000.

My favorite thing about this hobby is … the stuff!!! LOVE product! Some I may never use but I just have to have it!

If I were a Pebbles product I would be … textured floral papers. So feminine!

Sarah created so many amazing projects for us this week. I especially love how she cut some of the flowers from the patterned paper to use as dimensional embellishments on this sweet layout. Here’s what Sarah had to say … “On this project I just knew I wanted to use the With Delight Floral Lane paper! This picture of my son and my sister-in-law’s niece was perfect! I really wanted the picture to stand out so I kept it simple. I hand cut a few flowers from the With Delight paper and added buttons to the center for my main embellishment.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Floral Lane With Delight (751124)
Floral Lane Warm Thoughts (751117)
Floral Lane Just Because (751116)
Happy Go Lucky ABC (732034)

Other supplies used:
Cardstock (American Crafts)
Circle Cutting System (Creative Memories)
Punch (Stampin’ Up!)

Here’s what Sarah had to say about her next project … “I am totally in love with the Happy Go Lucky line and knew I wanted to play with the bright colors. I am obsessed with my scallop punch and will find any reason to use it so I chose to scrap a “girly” picture. I layered the papers and scattered the flowers and buttons throughout the layout. I love the embossed stickers so I pop dotted the “Happy Day” stickers onto the journaling spot to complete the title.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Happy Go Lucky Delight (751086)
Happy Go Lucky Carefree (751090)
Happy Go Lucky Splendid (751081)

Other supplies used:

Pen (Creative Memories)

I love the simplicity of Sarah’s next layout and how the butterfly makes such a bold statement on the page. Here’s what Sarah had to say … “I just love the texture of the Floral Lane papers! I used the Making Memories SLICE to create a simple butterfly embellishment and completed this simple layout with stitching. I love using small strips of patterns to layer – adds some variety without overpowering the pictures (my sister-in-laws niece Hannah). The title says it all!”

Pebbles supplies used:

Floral Lane You’re Sweet (751121)

Here’s what Sarah had to say about her final project … “These are some of my favorite pictures of my niece Shannen – I thought the Happy Go Lucky papers were a perfect match to her floral dress! Again, I used my scallop punch to create layers of papers under the photos. I also added some scallop layers up top to make the layout flow better. Simple stitching, added chipboard flowers and a pop dotted embossed sticker for the title complete my layout.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Happy Go Lucky Tickled Pink (751084

More Stars and Stripes Projects with Mimi, Deena, and Kim

Design team member Mimi Leinbach created this festive layout using lots of stars and stripes. Here’s what Mimi had to say … “One of my favorite things about Pebbles is how different releases work so well together. You would never know that I actually used products from 3 different lines on this layout. The embellishments from Floral Lane work great with the pattern papers of Happy Go Lucky. It certainly makes scrapping stress free to know that your products will blend so well with each other. I kept this design simple and clean to show off my adorable boys. A simple shooting star embellishment was all this needed with these star and stripped themed papers to make this layout complete and patriotic.”

Design team member Deena Wuest created this classic looking card using the New Addition Boy collection. Here’s what Deena had to say … “Who says stars and stripes have to be reserved for the 4th of July? They are also perfect to let someone know how proud you are of the star they have become! By clustering multiple dimensional stars and anchoring them to a strip of ribbon, you can pile on the accents and still maintain a clean look.”

Yes, she was born on the 4th of July! I used bits and pieces of several Pebbles collections and love how the red white and blue all came together. (My banner pieces are 2 ¼ X 1 ¾” each, in case you want to replicate my project). Happy Birthday, Mom!”
