I’m Wendy Sue Anderson and I live in a little mountain valley in Utah.  I was born and raised here, and I am so grateful to be able to raise my children here as well.  I’ve been married to the best guy in the world for almost 21 years!  Brad and I have four amazing kids – Meagan (17), Josh (15), Seth (10), and Zach (8).

They are full of spunk and energy and ideas and personality and I LOVE being their mom!  We love spending time together, enjoying all of the different opportunities nature has to offer us here in our local mountains, lakes, and valleys!

My kids keep me pretty busy, but in my spare time, paper-crafting is my go-to hobby.  I love being creative and I really love saving family memories in a creative way.  I’ve been lucky to be involved in the scrapbooking/paper-crafting industry for almost 15 years now, in different capacities.  Over the years, I’ve had lots of people tell me that they don’t have time to scrapbook.  I try not to blow my top, and gently remind them that we all have the same 24 hours in a day and we use those hours doing what is most important to us. Documenting my family memories is important to me. Creating projects with my hands, paper, scissors, and glue is important to me.  TV, meh, nope…not really important to me.  So instead of watching the latest reality-tv series or movie, I prefer to be busy at my craft table!

I’m excited to be able to share some of my creations here on the Pebbles blog with YOU!  As I was looking for a family photo to share, I realized that is the most recent family photo I have.  It’s kind of funny, because both of my big kids are taller than me now – and that was only about a year and a half ago.  Kids change so fast!  (Note to self:  get a family photo done soon!!)  The photo of the kids alone was taken earlier this summer, as we dropped our daughter off at the airport as she traveled through Europe for a month.

Thanks so much to Pebbles for allowing me to design with their wonderful products – I can’t wait to get busy and share something fun with you!

Hello!
I’m Renee Zwirek from Aurora, Illinois. I’ve been happily married to my best friend, Chris, for 12 years now. We have two wonderful daughters, Caitie (9-years-old) and Payton (7-years-old).

The Zwirek Family
I’m a Chiropractor turned SAHM. I currently do part-time contract work for a publishing company. I love my family and friends, old movies, The Walking Dead, Snickers candy bars, photography, and scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking for 9 years now. I’m thrilled, honored, and grateful to be joining the Pebbles family for another year with the Pebbles Design Team. It’s been a Dream. Come. True. Don’t wake me. 😉

A few of my favorite projects (even though I love ALL my Pebbles’ projects…SO hard to pick favorites!):

Card Duo

Laura Craigie is using some of her absolute favorite embellishments from the Garden Party collection today to make beautiful handmade cards for any occasion. Read on to get a little inspiration for a card duo of your own!

PB_GardenPartyDo you ever have a product you love so much it’s hard to use?  That is how I’ve felt about these beautiful vellum flowers in the Garden Party collection!  I had been afraid to use them up, but finally decide it was time after a few months of loving them.  I decided to make a card duo, incorporating plenty of white to really let the flowers shine.

I always like to have something “grounding” my sentiments and for these cards I used the pockets and inserts from the same Garden Party line.

They are the perfect size for both cards and layouts and you can pull out the cute tag insert and use it all on it’s own like I did for one of my cards, and just used the empty pocket as an embellishment on the other card.
