Laurel Seabrook lives in Canada with her family.  She started scrapbooking 13 years ago although she has been scrapbooking in some way or another all of her life.  Laurel describes her style as clean and simple with added bits of layering and doo dads.  We are so happy to have Laurel join us this term.

“To create the sun I used my Cricut for the circles and then I just free handed the strips for the rays.  I like the irregularity the free handing creates as I am not one for things being symmetrical.  I also love to add machine stitching to most of my projects as it is such an easy way to add a bit of texture and interest.”  – Laurel Seabrook, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I am a huge fan of bright, vibrant colours, so the Sunnyside collection by Pebbles is perfect for me! I just knew that I wanted to use a variety of the colors and patterns from the collection to reflect my daughter’s smiley face. I like to mix color and pattern and have a real love for paper and adding little bits and pieces to my page! I love the little clothespins by Pebbles as they enable me to do just that!” – Nicole Nowosad, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Sometimes zi have trouble figuring out what I want to title a layout. This is when I go straight for my stickers and see if something will work. In this case it did with the sunny pool weather.  The Pebbles Sunnyside sticker was the perfect fit.”  – Shawna Webster, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Even though our plans to go to Disney World this summer fell through, we still had a fun, busy, and great summer staycation! I made this mini album over-filled with our summer memories. The hardest part was looking through over 1200 photos and picking out my favorites. The easiest part was using the Sunnyside collection for most of my album. It’s such a wonderful collection! And, shockingly, I still have plenty left over for more projects.” – Renee Zwirek, Pebbles Design Team Member

Jaclyn Rench lives in Ohio with her husband, three children and their sweet dog Ruby.  Jaclyn started scrapbooking nearly 13 years ago and still loves this hobby today as much as she did the day she created her very first page. We are so happy to have Jaclyn join our team this term.

“I just love the versatility of the Sunnyside collection.  While the bright colors and cute icons that it features, naturally lend themselves to a summertime feel, it’s also neutral enough in themes and patterns to highlight a multitude of photos.  I was immediately drawn to many of the pink and floral elements in the collection.  They proved to be the perfect backdrop to showcase some favorite photos of my baby girl and help me document an important milestone in her first year of life – that brand new TOOTHY smile!”  – Jaclyn Rench, Pebbles Design Team Member

Kathy Martin lives in North Carolina with her husband and their 11 year old son.  Kathy is a self proclaimed paper craft addict and has been making cards since 2001 and scrapbooking since 2003.  We are so happy to have Kathy join our team this term.

“I’m so excited today to share with you my first Pebbles design team projects! Oh what fun it was to create these cards with the new Sunnyside collection! I fell in love with the Dimensional Butterflies and the corrugated ABC stickers! It’s like being a kid in a candy store playing with all these yummy Pebbles goodies! I’ve been on a kick with the mini Polaroid accents and I’ll let you in on my secret for making them, the Spellbinder’s square Nestabilities set. Just die cut your square and then trim around it. Easy!”  – Kathy Martin, Pebbles Design Team Member

Vivian Masket lives in Colorado with her family.  Vivian’s style is clean and simple and she loves to combine colorful patterned papers with neutral background and unexpected whimsical touches.  We are thrilled to have Vivian join our team this year. 

“The gorgeous colors and flowers in the Sunnyside line match perfectly with this set of photos of my daughter. A large title, die cut from the Tickled Pink patterned paper, becomes a fun embellishment with the addition of a Dimensional Flower in place of the dot on the letter “i.” Banner elements further embellish the layout and create flow. I need to heed my journaling amidst the craziness of the start of the school year (I’m an instructional coach) and election season (my husband is a political scientist) and try to carve out a little more down time for all of us!”  – Vivian Masket, Pebbles Design Team Member

Donna Jannuzzi lives in California with her husband and three boys.  She has scrapbooked here and there since she was a child and throughout college, but didn’t truly fall in love with the hobby until after her oldest son was born a little more than 6 years ago.  We are thrilled to have Donna join our team this year.

“In February of this year I gave birth to our third boy, Samuel.  His arrival was a true blessing for our family.  Even though I didn’t feel my prettiest in the weeks following this birth, I knew that I would want pictures of the two of us together.  The lighting in these photos isn’t the best, which is why I converted them to black and white.  Also, that change allowed me to put a lot of color and pattern into my layout design.  I can honestly say that even as a mom to three boys, I adore the Sunnyside collection.  The pinks in the collection are offset by the loveliest navy and blue-green, and I can’t get enough of the polka-dot and ledger patterns.  It was the perfect choice to scrapbook this memory of Sam’s early days.  I also love the Sunnyside collection for card making and plan on using every last scrap of the From Me to You patterned paper!”  – Donna Jannuzzi, Pebbles Design Team Member

Kim Jeffress comes from Brisbane Australia and is a SAHM to two rambunctious boys aged 5 and 3 . They are her scrapping inspiration, she loves recording all the little memories about their lives that will only be forgotten in the future.  You will always find journalling on her layouts, it helps Kim to tell the all important stories.  We are thrilled to have Kim join our team this year.

“For my first layout for Pebbles I decided to use some older photos of my youngest son when he was 16 months old. He was such a “talker” even at that young age so I wanted to record this memory. The colours in the Sunnyside collection was just perfect for my photos. For me I am all about matching my photos to the colours in my papers … and these papers and embellies were textbook! I am excited about the year ahead and I look forward to sharing more fun Pebbles projects with you all.”  – Kim Jeffress, Pebbles Design Team Member
