“I have wanted to make a little “love notes” board for quite a while now.  With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect time to introduce it to my family.  The premise is to have it sitting out on the table by the door, along with a little expo marker.  It will be a fun place for everyone to jot down little love notes or reminders to other family members.  It will stay out beyond Valentine’s Day – we can all use a little love note now and then, no matter the date!  I’m excited to use it – I hope the rest of my family will be too!”  – Wendy Sue Anderson, Pebbles Design Team Member

“As you can see from my page, I interpreted this week’s theme quite literally into my project.  ‘Love is in the air’ immediately made me think of floating hearts and my sweet four year old boy who is always reminding me that he loves me!  I ran with those ideas by grabbing a recent favorite photo of him and turning to my pile of Pebbles scraps, to start cutting and punching a variety of hearts.  This page features paper and products from four different collections, but stays unified through the heart shape and color palette.  I ‘love’ how this page turned out, and am especially glad to have documented this sweet little personality trait of my youngest son.”  – Jaclyn Rench, Pebbles Design Team Member

“For this layout, I used my Silhouette to cut a title into the cardstock and backed it with some fun Pebbles patterns.  This is one of my favorite ways to create a title!  I used a paper from Seen & Noted and 2 patterns from Walnut Grove.  I love mixing and matching lines, and Pebbles always seems to do that well.  My grandmother suffered a stroke last year and now has dementia.  I was thinking the other day how I squandered the opportunity to ask my grandma all about her life when she was young, how she met my Paw Paw, what it was like when my mom was little.  All of those things that, when I was young, I didn’t think to ask.  But, now that I am older, I wish I knew these stories.  (I’m getting there with this, I swear!).  That thought led me to documenting how Troy & I met.  (Whew!  There we are!).  I enclosed that little story in the pocket behind the photo.  I layered some tags from the Seen & Noted collection behind the photo and doily.”  – Mandie Pierce, Pebbles Design Team Member

“This was such a fun assignment! I love this photo of Payton. I just had to go back and use the Sunny Side collection to scrap it. The colors were perfect for it! For my title (love the way it turned out), I tweaked the words to the song a bit, because I have two kiddos. And, I added an ombre effect to the Corrugated ABC Stickers using some acrylic paints. I “Stitched-a-Stamp” onto my page using one of my favorite stamps. This was very fun and simple to do. Lots of layers and fun elements added to make this lovely layout of one of my lovely little girls.” – Renee Zwirek, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I was lucky to get a camera remote for Christmas this year, and I made it a goal to take some family photos each month. These are our photos from January 1st. I knew immediately that I wanted to use them on a love layout because I love the pictures, and I love the people in them even more! The large “Family” card from the Family Ties collection worked perfectly for the title!”  – Emily Spahn, Pebbles Design Team Member

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  This week on the Pebbles blog we have asked some of our design team members to create projects with a love theme just in time for Valentine’s Day next week.

“I always love the month of love …. all the reds and pinks just make me happy! This photo is perfect for Valentines and I was so happy to share it this week.”  – Patty Kumfer, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I LOVE Valentines.  I love the decor, the colors, and any excuse for time away with my hubby with food and dessert is a good one!  My husband is the best, and I wanted to create a layout about us.  He is my best friend, and the best husband and father anyone could ask for.  I am so lucky to have him.”  – Tiffany Hood, Pebbles Design Team Member
