“Stickers are one of my favorite embellishments when I’m looking for a quick and easy way to dress up my projects.  I love to add foam adhesive to my stickers for added dimension as well as dress them up with punches and gems.  For this set of cards I used papers and stickers from the Party with Amy Locurto collection.  I finished each card off with a Pebbles rub on sentiment on a kraft cardstock banner along with a wooden clothespin and bit of colored twine. Quick and easy, but oh so cute!”  – Lynn Ghahary, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Need to whip up a thoughtful little gift in no time at all? Something for a neighbor or teacher? How about a little pick-me-up for a good friend? I put together this goody box of Hershey’s chocolates by upcycling an accent tin with a few Pebbles supplies. A little paper, a couple dies and accents and 10-15 minutes you can create this yummy surprise.”  – Kathy Martin, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Layering is such a huge trend right now and I wanted to play with that a bit, but still keep my page clean and uncluttered. Also, I wanted to keep it easy and fast since that is part of the challenge this week. I chose to use a tag and a library card from the Seen & Noted collection as easy layering pieces. Underneath those is a single sheet of paper in a bold color that just happens to coordinate with my son’s little toy radio. Including the time it took to cut the title and print my journaling this page took about 45 minutes to put together, super-quick for me! This was a fun challenge and the best part is, I’m really happy with my finished page.”  – Donna Jannuzzi, Pebbles Design Team Member

“My go-to technique for quick and easy layouts is layering! I gather together a bunch of different papers and cut them to various sizes and just push them around until it works…it’s very scientific!  These are photos of my son the first time he walked more than a few steps. He was so excited!  The little starry paper from the Party line was perfect for this superstar layout!” – Emily Spahn, Pebbles Design Team Member

“One way to make a quick layout is to cut several 12″ long strips of your patterned paper and lay them across the page.  Pebbles also puts prints on the back of the barcode strips of their patterned paper, so I added two of those strips as well.  Then add some stickers from the Accent & Phrase sticker sheet and you’re done!”  – Tiffany Hood, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Quick and easy is not always in my vocabulary! Truth be told, I typically take several hours to create page. So, this assignment brought me out of my comfort zone and I decided to let the products guide me to my end result. I only use larger piece of patterned paper and then used some banner pieces from the cute banner kits to do the work for me. They are the perfect size and dimension to add quickly to your page, without any work. I trimmed down a journal card from the Basics line for my title to make my page go even quicker! It is so easy to let the products guide you and in no time your page is complete! “  – Nicole Nowosad, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Sometimes when I want to create a page quickly I stick with the very simple idea of paper strips in different colors.  It’s such a quick way to create a fun looking page and will look different every time.  Then I just grabbed some embellishments that matched the colors in my photo’s and it came together very quickly after that.  I also chose to adhere my journaling card on an angle on purpose to break up the linear lines of the page, I just need to find my good pen to add in the actual journaling.”  – Laura Craigie, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I love the soft pretty colors and patterns of the Love You More collection.  I thought it would make great ‘just because’ cards for the spring so that is what I set out to create.  I love how these mixed and matched so well with the Basics and went together so quickly.” – Laurel Seabrook, Pebbles Design Team Member

Happy Monday everyone!  This week on the Pebbles blog we are focusing on projects that can be created in no time at all using your favorite Pebbles products.  Goodness knows we are all pressed for time, so we hope that you will find inspiration in these quick and easy projects from some of our design team members.

“I had a lot of fun creating these cards! I played around with a monochromatic look, starting with “thank you” journaling cards from the Basics Journaling Card pad and then combining a mix of patterns in the same color on each card. I die cut graduated sizes of flowers from the Basics patterned papers, layered them with dimensional adhesive, and finished each flower center with a period from the same-color Basics Thickers sets. I can see myself repeating this idea with other journaling cards from the Basics Journaling pad – and different shapes cut or punched from the Basics patterned papers – for more quick and easy cards!”  – Vivian Masket, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Aside from a quick Silhouette title die cut, this layout was super quick to put together to highlight the start of another school year for my girls and yet another new school.  I thought the new Love You More lined/dotted paper was perfect for a school layout and used some of the bright blues, yellows and reds from Love You More and Seen & Noted to then make the layout pop.” – Christa Paustenbaugh, Pebbles Design Team Member
