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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”
