“Because of my husband’s work, we weren’t really able to travel outside of our area this summer.  We took a little couple day trip to Santa Cruz.  It was a lot of fun.  We took our kids on their first ferris wheel ride at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.  They LOVED it and were hooked!  I love that the colors in the Sunnyside collection matched the ferris wheel seats.  It was too perfect!”  – Mandie Pierce, Pebbles Design Team Member

“The Sunnyside, Countryside Picnic and Hip Hip Hooray collections all have a fun, bright colour palette that is perfect for summer projects, so I used a mixture of products from all three lines to make this page about enjoying lots of summer drinks sitting outside in pub gardens! I cut off the flap of a vellum envelope I had lying around and filled it with a bunch of favourite embellishments to give my page a fun, whimsical feel. This is my last project for Pebbles and I just want to take the time to thank all of you for an amazing two years … it’s been so much fun!”  – Steph Baxter, Pebbles Design Team Member

“For this week’s summer theme, I thought I’d share a page I created about the very first day of our summer vacation.  I took the kids to a local park where we had a picnic lunch and played on the playground for a while.   As we were leaving they found this bar near the skate park and decided to play on it … I thought it was a great way to record the day – since we were just “hangin’ out” together – which is how we spent many of our days over the summer. My kids were dressed in some pretty colorful clothing and I just loved how their shirts all coordinated with the colors in the Sunnyside collection.  I loved mixing and matching the patterned papers for the background.  I cut the banner strips from the 6×6 pad and layered them around the title.  And I disassembled one of the “smile” clothespins so it would be a little less bulky and tied a bow around it.”  – Wendy Sue Anderson, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I  wanted to capture the fun and adventure from this summer. I had lots of pictures printed out and pulled this page together using mostly the Hip Hip Hooray collection (which seems about right). It’s fun to look back at all the different pictures and know that we’ve really had a great family summer! A quick note -I want to give a great big thanks to everyone associated with Pebbles, especially Lynn for a great two terms! Cheers!”  – Sarah Webb, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I’ve been kind of hoarding this map paper and now I am so glad that I did. It’s the perfect background for my Road Trip layout. We traveled over 5,000 miles this summer with the kids and a travel trailer. I just decided this will be the opening layout in our summer trip album. So much fun!”  – Kim Kesti, Pebbles Design Team Member

Do you remember when you were in grade school and the teacher asked you to write the typical “What I Did This Summer” essay?  Well we’ve decided to partake in this tried and true tradition – Pebbles style!  This week on the Pebbles blog our design team members will be sharing projects all about what they did this summer.  So sit back, relax, and be ready to be inspired while we see what some of our design team members have been up to!

“To say we had an eventful summer would be an understatement!  So I wanted to make a big statement in my layout too with no photos and a long title with my favorite mini letters! I cut the map images with my Silhouette and used the negatives rather than the cut image. From there just some simple embellishments and ticket stubs and it was exactly what I wanted!” – Christa Paustenbaugh, Pebbles Design Team Member
