“The Country Picnic collection is so soft and feminine – I just fell in love with it!  This is a photo of my sweet little niece Gia.  The colors work so nicely with the soft pinks, corals, and greens of Country Picnic.  The new Corrugated Alphabet Stickers are fantastic – I popped them up with some dimensional adhesive and replaced the “o”s in my title with the new layered flowers.  So sweet!”  – Lynn Ghahary, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Right now Alyssa is having a hard time in high school. While she loves school and is doing well, she isn’t making friends quite as fast as I think she hoped. I wanted to do a layout to encourage her as well as keep a memory of life. Sometimes life isn’t always easy, but what can come out of it is the most wonderful thing to experience when you are through the hard times. Documenting this will show you later on in life that high school was just a blip on the radar and life is bigger than that as well as how important God plays a role in our lives to get us through things. The gentleness of Country Picnic was perfect for this touching layout!”  – Elizabeth Carney, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I created a trio of cards using the new Pebbles collection, Country Picnic.  I love the colors for spring and kept the designs very clean. The dimensional stickers were the inspiration for these cards. They have  a variety of sentiments to choose from. and helped me to create three cards in an hour! Love that kraft is one of the main colors in this collection, and you cannot go wrong with the beautiful floral patterns! These cards are full of dimension, and ready to help celebrate the arrival of Spring!”  – Suzanne Sergi, Pebbles Design Team Member

“As a mom of girls, I adore the colors in this line.  The pinks and greens complement each other so well.  The corrugated alphas are quickly becoming one of my favorite Pebbles releases yet-perfect size in perfect colors!  As is normal for me, I took apart one of the dimensional stickers to fit the year on it and replaced the flower with some punched butterflies.”  – Christa Paustenbaugh, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I love the greens, pinks and kraft of the Country Picnic line.  But, I wanted to make the color pop out a little; so I chose a grey background for this easy to assemble layout.  I took these adorable photos of my friend and her daughter last year.  The colors of this line translate well into a baby girl theme, as well as spring.  I really like the new gift tags.  So fun!  I un-tied the string on the tag to take the loop out and re-tied it into a bow to make it more layout ready vs. gift ready.  I layered a candy dot button on top of the design and a flower from the dimensional stickers.”  – Mandie Pierce, Pebbles Design Team Member

All this week on the Pebbles blog we’ll be focusing on one of our brand new collections Country Picnic.  Rosy pinks, sage greens and a heavenly light kraft combine into this lovely collection blooming with florals, polka dots and stripes.

“Country Picnic is such a gorgeous line! It’s got such a variety of patterns-  from basic dots and stripes to florals. For this page, I wanted to use a lot of those patterns so I cut a grid shape from my Silhouette and used a small square from each of my favorite papers. It reminds me of a window that looks out into a beautiful garden!”  – Ashley Stephens, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I just love Country Picnic with all it’s gorgeous springy colors mixed with plenty of Kraft that makes my heart swoon!  I had a ton of fun making these cards, and fell in love with the new corrugated alphabets which of course are adhesive stickers and are just so much fun!  I am also hopelessly in love with the stamps for this line. That doily is just perfect for making my own patterned paper.”
