“One of the best ways to let someone know you’re grateful for them is to give them a handmade thank you card.  The Walnut Grove collection is full of stickers and embellishments with “Thank You” as the theme, and the papers and designs are so sweet, they make the perfect thank you cards.”  – Tiffany Hood, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I am guessing that just about everyone thinks of family when they count their blessings, we certainly do! When it comes to my husband’s family, counting just might take a little while; he has nine siblings and 80+ nieces and nephews. We were lucky enough to have almost the entire family together this past summer for a reunion – I knew this was the exact photo I wanted to scrap for our Grateful theme here on the blog. We are lucky to have such a large and loving family.”  – Kim Kesti, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Well, here it is, Thanksgiving day already!  Halloween is a distant memory, but that doesn’t mean you should put the Tricks and Treats Halloween collection in storage until next year!  Pull it out and create a couple of cards to tell someone how grateful you are for them.  The oranges, yellows, and greens don’t all scream “Halloween” and they work perfectly for autumn – especially with these sweet owl tags!”  – Wendy Sue Anderson, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I have to admit that I had a little bit of trouble with this week’s theme.  The truth is, there are so many things to be thankful for, how do I choose just one?  So I decided to go a little outside the box with my layout.  My son, Nathan, turned four in September, and lately he has been showing us so much more of his personality.  Which we didn’t really think was possible!  Lately he has been saying the funniest things, is showing he understands more, and is basically growing up.  He is a very sweet and loving boy and he makes us laugh everyday with his silliness.  I made this page, with his funny faces, to celebrate him.  We are so thankful to have him in our lives.”  – Donna Jannuzzi, Pebbles Design Team Member

“For this week’s theme I knew I wanted to make a list with the many blessings I have received. Initially I thought I would cut some patterned paper frames with my Cameo but then I saw these beautiful speech bubbles and I knew they would be perfect for my layout. To incorporate some color I attached them to different patterned papers and cut them leaving a small border. I added a pocket with my journaling and some stitching.”  – Eva Pizarro, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Thanksgiving is always a hectic time for us, filled with travel and cooking and lots of family activities. I rarely manage to capture the holiday on film or in writing. This year, I am determined to do better! I created this “Many Thanks” album to help me document the holiday. Along the lines of the popular December Daily album tradition, I’ve created pre-made pages that are holiday-themed, many of which are designed to hold journaling. The pages feature a mix of products, including shapes die cut from patterned paper. My plan is to collect thoughts and pictures as I go during the holiday and use them to complete this album, interspersing my pre-made pages and 4″ X 6″ photos in the 25-page O’flip Flip Book Album. Should be a quick and easy project now that I’ve done most of the work ahead of time!”  – Vivian Masket, Pebbles Design Team Member

“This is the month of being grateful … I am grateful for the little things.  My son shows me how important those are. Flying a kite on a windy day or dipping your toes in the cold ocean. He keeps me remembering what is trulyimportant and for that I am grateful.”  – Patty Kumfer, Pebbles Design Team Member

“It is natural that we are all reflective of our blessings and gratitudes at this point in the year, with the approaching holidays.  While I’d like to say that I count my blessings on a daily basis, I must admit that the daily grind often takes precedence over those gratitudes.  Therefore, the opportunity to focus on the theme “I’m Grateful For…” this week, was just the push I needed to put together this treasured page.  It allowed me to record and tell my three children the specific things I’m grateful for about each of them, at this very moment in their lives.  The Walnut Grove collection with it’s masculine and feminine touches, was the perfect compliment to these memories and photos.”  – Jaclyn Rench, Pebbles Design Team Member

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, this week on the Pebbles blog is all about being grateful.  Our design team members have created projects to celebrate who (or what) they are grateful for.  On behalf of the entire Pebbles design team and staff I would just like to take a moment to say that we are grateful for you, our blog readers, and your continued support of our products and our design team.  So thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.  🙂

“For this week’s theme, I choose to scrap a picture of part of my family, my children and I.
I am very proud to have such beautiful boys especially as the road to becoming a mom, was very difficult.  Today, only our happiness matters and I will always be there for them.  I love them so much! We are a lovely family!”  – Amelie Mordret, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I realize it sounds slightly cliche to say that the number one thing I am thankful for is my family, but really … they are amazing. Every day I look at my husband and my children, and I can’t believe how incredibly blessed I am.  We’ve been trying to take more family photos lately.  These were taken one day last month when we were helping my in-laws clean up the leaves in their lawn. My kids had a blast playing in the giant pile  I love all the fall colors in the photos, and I used papers from the Tricks and Treats and Seen & Noted lines to create a layout with a matching fall theme.”  – Emily Spahn, Pebbles Design Team Member
