Patty’s Original Project

Shawna’s “Lifted” Project

For my scraplift i used Patty Kumfer’s layout titled Holiday Photo Season. The way my photos were facing I didn’t like the same angle she used so I printed the layout and flipped it upside down. This worked perfectly. I love all the blues in the floral paper to go with my beach pictures so I built off of that.” – Shawna Webster, Pebbles Design Team Member

Patty’s Original Project

Nicole’s “Lifted” Project

“I really loved everything about Patty’s original page. She used some of my favorite products from the Seen & Noted line and I loved the cluster of photos on the page. So, I used Patty’s page as a sketch and dug into my Seen & Noted stash as well! The page is not my typical style, but I love how it turned out!” – Nicole Nowosad, Pebbles Design Team Member

Donna’s Original Project

Kim’s “Lifted” Project

“The hardest part of this assignment was choosing who to scraplift; we have such amazing talent on the Pebbles team. In the end, I chose a layout by Donna Jannuzzi. I love how light and fresh her layout is; I also really like the photos framed in white. Donna’s layout offered lots of inspiration for me with her use of the Seen & Noted elements, too. I’m just tickled to has these Nerd Birthday photos scrapped and in my album.” – Kim Kesti, Pebbles Design Team Member

Renee’s Original Project

Amelie’s “Lifted” Project

“For this assignment, I chose the layout “Have a Sweet Christmas” by Renee Zwirek. This layout inspired me immediately! I love the simple design of this page with, nevertheless, a lot of little things to look at! I also love the vellum paper with embellishments in transparency. The things in common with my layout? The centered design, the hearts in transparency and ink stains! For this project, I mixed the Seen & Noted and Walnut Grove collections.” – Amelie Mordret, Pebbles Design Team Member

Eva’s “Lifted” Project

“There are so many beautiful layouts here on the blog that I was really hard for me to pick one. In the end I decided to scraplift a layout by Amelie Mordret, I love the composition and tried to stay true to that on my layout. Because I didn’t have time to do stitching I added some twine to give the layout some movement.” – Eva Pizarro, Pebbles Design Team Member

Theme: Scraplift a Design Team Member

Happy Monday everyone! This week on the Pebbles blog it’s all about scraplifting! What is “scraplifting” you ask? Scraplifting is the the act of “lifting” or copying ideas and/or designs from another person’s scrapbook page to use in your own pages. Designs or ideas can be copied in whole or in part. And most importantly be sure to give credit where credit is due. If you do “lift” someone else’s idea be sure to mention where the idea originated. I’ve asked some of our design team members to “scraplift” their fellow teammates.

Patty’s Original Project

Emily’s “Scraplifted” Project

“I chose Patricia’s non-traditional holiday layout to scraplift. I loved her look of big horizontal strips of patterned paper along the top of the layout. When I began my project, I had basically flipped her layout upside down, with my photos in the upper right-hand corner, but the more I pushed my papers and pictures around, the less it looked like the actual layout!! The final result is fairly different than the original, but my original inspiration of the broad horizontal strips of paper remains!” – Emily Spahn, Pebbles Design Team Member

Guest Designer: Michelle Unruh and a GIVEAWAY!

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

Describe yourself in 3 words … family oriented, chatty, loyal.

My guilty pleasure is … only one?? 😉 Green & Black’s chocolate (thanks to a scrappy friend in Wales 😉 )

You’ll never find me without … a can of Coke and my camera.

You might be surprised to know that I … do not own an iPhone/smart phone/droid or an iPod. I have an old “not so smart” flip phone. LOL

My least favorite chore is … cleaning bathrooms.

I started scrapbooking in … 2001- remember Creative Memories Mrs. Grossman Stickers and the strips and triangles?? 🙂

My favorite thing about this hobby is … the friends I have made.

If I were a Pebbles product I would be … the phrase cards.

“With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought it would be fun to pull some of the pinks and teal from the Walnut Grove line and make a banner to hang from my entertainment center. I cut the banner shape and letters with my die cutting machine, digging through my Pebbles product pulling the flowers and hearts from a baby girl line and doilies from my stash.”

“I have really gotten into card making lately. I love the 6×6 paper pads that Pebbles makes. The smaller scaled patterns are perfect for cards. I also love the array of layered stickers in the Walnut Grove line. They add such great dimension to my projects.”

“I love the Phrase cards that comes in the Family Ties line. They have lots of great ones in that pad. When thumbing through them, I saw the one about an awesome boy, I knew I had to use it on a page of my sweet boy. I just love the colors in this collection. You just can’t go wrong with blue and green together. This collection matched so well with my photo of my son.”

The colors and phrase cards were just what I needed to get these photos onto a page. These two really are the best of friends (and yes, they bicker and fight too). :)”
