More Favorite Things Projects with Christa and Jaclyn

“I was going in a much different direction with this layout until I was thumbing through my phone photos for just the right photo.  Voila-a different favorite layout was born from that!  My phone has been a lifesaver since moving to Japan almost a year ago.  From maps to translations into Japanese, it has saved me many times here so of course it is now one of my favorite things in my life!” – Christa Paustenbaugh, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I couldn’t put together a page of my favorites without starting with a current favorite color palette and a pile of beautiful Pebbles supplies.  Admittedly, it’s a bit out of my comfort zone to document this type of ‘all about me’ page, but once I got started I really enjoyed the process.  To ensure that I had plenty of room to journal all of my favorites, I trimmed down and included a pocket from the Seen and Noted collection to hold various journaling cards, tags and other decorative pieces.”  – Jaclyn Rench, Pebbles Design Team Member

Theme: My Favorite Things

22

4 Comments

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  This week’s theme is “My Favorite Things.”  I’ve asked some of our Pebbles design team members to create projects either focusing on some of their favorite things (e.g., a favorite photo) or using some of their favorite things (e.g., a product, technique, etc).

“One of my favorite weekends of the year is when my girlfriends and I host a “Crafty Weekend” at my auntie’s cabin in Flagstaff. We invite a dozen crafty minded ladies from church to enjoy projects, food and fellowship; it is such an amazing time. I love that the Pebbles “hello” pocket perfectly matched our theme for this year’s event!”  – Kim Kesti, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I have to admit…this was a tough theme/assignment for me. I pretty much never do layouts about myself. I usually scrap about my girls. So, where do I start? Well, I started by asking Caitie (my 8-year-old) to take this updated photo of me and I used it as a starting point for my colors. I used lots of items from the Family Ties collection. It’s a great collection and I love the red, blues, and flowers in this line. This turned out to be a fun layout to make…still weird that it’s about me. I probably should do layouts about myself more often.” – Renee Zwirek, Pebbles Design Team Member

Guest Designer: Stephanie Buice plus a GIVEAWAY!

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

My guilty pleasure is … shopping. Swiping that card sometimes “fixes” everything.  LOL

You’ll never find me without … my cell phone.

You may be surprised to know that I … am actually Canadian. Well I guess the “eh” in conversation kinda gives that away.

My least favorite chore …  is doing the dishes, I HATE it! So I married someone who actually doesn’t mind them.

I started scrapbooking in … 2002, it was my senior year in high school and I got a kit as a graduation gift. I’ve been hooked since then.

My favorite thing about this hobby is … all the friends I have made through it, it has brought me so much happiness from people all around the world.

If I were a pebbles product I would be … a Basics Cardmaking Pad because they are classics and good for everything. 🙂

“For this layout I had to use a picture of my niece Kimberly, the sweetness of the I love you More girl line had her name written all over it! I thought the sticky notes were so cool and I love that they are a fresh product I have not seen before. I was inspired by all the girliness of this line, so so cute!”

Basics Cardmaking Pad 1 (751401)
Basics Rhinestone Flowers (747203,747218)

“The Love You More boy line has got to be one of my all time boy favorites. The colors and patterned pappers are Perfect. I was really inspired by the Accent & Phrase stickers, they were the jumping off inspiration for this card. What little boy wouldn’t want a lion birthday card?”

Love You More Andy (751422)
Love You More Blake (751420)

“Since I had leftover scraps from making my layout they made it super easy to put together this card. I must say that the Pebbles Banner Kits are such a great Idea! Sometimes you just need that extra little pop of pattern for your project and these are already cut and ready to go. I love how Pebbles thinks outside the box when it comes to product development.”

“I am in LOVE with the Pebbles Banner Kits! They made this card super easy! I wanted this card to be kinda light and springy feeling so the Rhinestone Flowers were the perfect finishing touch.  I’m a color gal so it needs to speak to me and I was really inspired by all the colors Pebbles has to offer.”

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 sure love having a fun sketch as a starting point, but it’s also nice to know I don’t have to stick to the sketch once I get started.  I actually decided to create a two page layout with my design based on the sketch I was assigned.  It’s easy to alter a sketch to fit your needs – no matter how you need to transform it!”  – Wendy Sue Anderson, Pebbles Design Team Member

Dear Pebbles

Good morning everyone!  Today we are featuring cards from some of our design team members using their favorite Pebbles products.

“I was inspired by the fun Printed Bags in the Party with Amy Locurto line. One of my favorite ways to create quick and easy cards are to similar items with a twist. For each card, I trimmed the printed bag to create a card base and them layered with some simple stickers and papers from the Basics banner kits!”  – Nicole Nowosad, Pebbles Design Team Member

“After all these months, I am still madly in love with Seen & Noted. There is something about the combination of colors that just make me smile every time I look at them. I think that the sentiment stickers from the Basics collection are genius too. I love the range of available colors and how they coordinate with pretty much any collection. For today’s Dear Pebbles assignment I used them as the perfect finishing touch for these two simple cards.”  – Donna Jannuzzi, Pebbles Design Team Member
