Hi everyone! I am so excited to introduce you to this week’s Guest Designer Marcy Penner.  Marcy was chosen as a guest designer after she posted to our Facebook Guest Designer search.  We loved her airy and light style and couldn’t wait to see what she created with Pebbles products.  Let’s get to know Marcy a little better …

My guilty pleasure is … the show Supernatural.

You’ll never find me without … my watch.

You might be surprised to know that I … still have a baby tooth.

My least favorite chore is … cleaning the bathrooms.  I have boys.  ‘Nuff said.

I started scrapbooking in . . . 2002.

My favorite thing about this hobby is . . . combining my love of paper and photography.

If I were a Pebbles product I would be . . . fabric brads – practical but fun!

Marcy created so many amazing projects for us today including this one about the sweet wildflowers her sons like to pick for her.  Here’s what Marcy had to say … “I really love that my little guys still pick flowers for me.  To mimic the theme I worked with some flower embellishments and purples and pinks.  (I don’t use those colors a lot when scrapbooking my boys!)  I created a little flower cluster and tied my photo with twine.”

Here’s what Marcy had to say about her next project … “Sometimes what happens is that I get going on my layouts and come really close to finishing and then realize that I forgot to include something I intended on from the beginning.  When I made this layout I wanted to use the little toothpick flags (which I love) … but I wasn’t sure where to use them!  In the end I trimmed them off their little wooden sticks and used them as banners along the top of my page instead.”

And for her final project Marcy created this adorable Anniversary card.  Here’s what Marcy had to say … “My parent’s anniversary is coming up and I didn’t know if I wanted to make a card or a tag.  So I did both.  I created the tag and attached it to the card with the fabric brad.  As the day approaches maybe I’ll decide one way or another.  If I go with the tag I’ll simply remove it from the card.”
