“Originally when I was trying to decide what to do for this week’s “How To,” I was going to sew together a fun little minibook about our Halloween costumes.  But, when I got my box from Pebbles last week, it contained a couple of their new 4×6 “o’flip” albums.  So, I thought instead of making an album from scratch, I would demonstrate how easy these albums are to put together!  This mini book challenged girl thought it was ridiculously easy!”  – Mandie Pierce, Pebbles Design Team Member

You will want to start by taking the posts apart on the back of the album.  Also, there is a clear proctective film on the covers of the album; so be sure peel those off. 

Make your cover and the first page.  And then adhere them together, back to back.  When you are making the back side, keep in mind that a small amount of the page will be covered on the right hand side.  (I did not take this into account on the first page I did!)

Peel the strip off and adhere the page.  Simple as that!  Easy peasy!  Make the rest of your pages and assemble just like that into your book.  When you are done, put them all together on the posts with the covers, and screw the posts back together.  Done.  So flippin’ simple! 😉

It’s Monday again which means we’ll be mixing and matching some Pebbles products to show you just how well our collections can be used with one another.

“This time I wanted to do a black and white photo and not have to worry about matching up the colors.  I loved mixing up the different Pebbles lines and it was easy because some of the colors coordinated perfectly with each other.  Sunnyside, Walnut Grove, and Seen and Noted can be mixed and used for tons of different layouts and other projects.” – Shawna Webster, Pebbles Design Team Member

“‘I love creating layouts about my family.  Family, to me, is what scrapbooking is all about.  I’ve been very excited to create with the new Walnut Grove and Seen & Noted collections.  They are my favorite Pebbles releases to date.  They actually coordinate really well, and on my layout I combined Walnut Grove, Seen & Noted, and Sunnyside and you’d think all my elements were from one collection!”  – Tiffany Hood, Pebbles Design Team Member

“For my projects today, I concentrated on the treats part of our new Tricks and Treats collection. And, of course, candy corn is high on my list of favorite treats. (It’s terribly addicting, isn’t it?) The cups were dollar store purchases, I just added some paper and stickers. I also decorated some bottles of soda – my kids were so excited to see these!”  – Kim Kesti, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday, and I got so excited when I first saw “Tricks & Treats.”  The colors are perfect, and the patterns are trendy, and the cute stickers and embellishments make it so easy to create cute pages.  This is my darling daughter in her candy witch costume. She was so excited to put it on and to wave her candy corn “wand” and “get us.”  I think she makes the cutest little witch!”  – Tiffany Hood, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Although the Tricks and Treats line is obviously Halloween themed, there are a lot of great patterns and colours that are perfect for other occasions too. I used lots of small pieces from the 6×6 paper pad to add a great deal of the different patterns in the collection, without my page being too Halloween looking. I also used a lot of the edge pieces from the bottom of the Tricks and Treats 12×12 papers as well instead of having them go to waste! I love it when you can stretch a collection for whatever occasion you need it to be!”  – Nicole Nowosad, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I love putting yummy treats in a cute container to share with neighbors and friends (or, in this case, my boys’ teachers).  Halloween is the perfect opportunity to share some sweet goodies in these cute little milk jars.  Dressing them up with some fun patterned papers and stickers is the perfect way to add a handmade touch a store-bought treat. 🙂  I cut the little labels for my jars from the label sheet in the 6×6 pad – they are the perfect mini-size for these little jars…and the stickers just happened to be the perfect size to place on the lids too, I love it when things like that happen!  Happy Halloween!”  – Wendy Sue Anderson, Pebbles Design Team Member
