Guest Designer: Amy Coose and a GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to introduce you to this week’s Guest Designer Amy Coose!  Let’s get to know Amy a little better …

Describe yourself in three words … caring, obsessive, loyal.

My guilty pleasure is … the Real Housewives series.

You’ll never find me without … coffee – I drink it all day long!

You might be surprised to know that I … love to listen to rap music.

My least favorite chore is … grocery shopping, I beg my hubby to go for me every week.

I started scrapbooking in … 2000.

My favorite thing about this hobby is … I love that I am recording precious memories for my family, and all the incredible people that I’ve met that love this hobby as much as I do.

If I were a Pebbles product I would be … a piece of patterned paper, because I think they are truly the best patterns out there, and are so chic and trendy!

“I am not a card maker, but the Seen and Noted Journaling Cards made it so easy to create this card for a friend’s baby gift.”

“Is it obvious that I love the cards from the Seen & Noted collection?  This layout was built around the “together” card.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I had the perfect picture for it. ”

“Again, I headed to the cards to see if I could find one that went with these pictures of me and my baby.  I mixed papers from the Seen and Noted and Walnut Grove lines (Pebbles makes it so easy to mix their lines) on this layout.  I really love the amazing embellishments that Pebbles creates with each of their lines.  On this layout I used two of my favorites, the large tag and the 3D banner.”

“I had been holding onto these pictures I had taken of Davis each month, and when I got my box of goodies from Pebbles, I knew the O’ FL!P book would be perfect for it.  It was so simple, I just added the pictures and a page for some journaling.  Of course, I had to use some of the journaling cards to make the design super easy. :)”

For those of you in Utah, because we were unable to secure the lease on the building at the Provo Shops at Riverwoods (our fault, not theirs) we are canceling the sale at that second location. We are truly sorry for the mix-up and invite you to visit us at our West Jordan location in Jordan Landing, 7378 Plaza Center Drive. The sale will be going strong there in West Jordan starting today and going through December 30.


We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this causes, and hope you are still able to make it to the sale in West Jordan!


Sketchy Thursday

For today’s edition of “Sketchy Thursday” we asked some of our design team members to create a project based on this *exclusive* sketch by Becky Fleck.

“I usually do 8.5 x 11 layouts and was having trouble with the sketch for some reason. I decided to just turn my layout on its side and do an 11 x 8.5 instead. I have an album started with this orientation already so i thought, Why not?  It worked out much better this way for me.  I really enjoy scrapping this size but I tend to forget the option. I will be using it more in the future and filling up my empty scrapbook.”  – Shawna Webster, Pebbles Design Team Member

“This sketch was a fun one to create with.  I used the Walnut Grove collection and these cute pictures of my daughter when she was little to make a layout about how brave she was going down the slide for the first time.  The Walnut Grove collection is so bright and happy, and it went along great with my photos.”  – Tiffany Hood, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I love giving myself a time limit and just creating.  It makes me go with my gut instead of second guessing everything.  Which is usually a good thing:)  I really love the colored border on the bottom of my Pebbles papers, and incorporating it into the layout added another pop or color without any extra work.  Also, the new Phrase and Journaling cards made this quick page come together in a snap.”  – Laura Craigie, Pebbles Design Team Member

“When I am caught for time, one of my favorite ways to get a layout completed very quickly is to grab a neutral paper and my scraps of Pebbles papers. I cut some varying sizes and shapes of paper from a few different lines and pieced them together on the page. The stickers in the Seen & Noted and Walnut Grove lines make it easy to add some pattern and dimension. I cut a title out with some Walnut Grove paper and voila all done in a short period of time. So, think twice before throwing away those little scraps of paper!”  – Nicole Nowosad, Pebbles Design Team Member
