Guest Designer: Jana Eubank plus a GIVEAWAY!

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

Describe yourself in 3 words … Creative, Homebody, Procrastinator.

My guilty pleasure is … having my husband bring me home a giant fountain Diet Coke (with lime) and a chocolate bar from the gas station on his way home from work.

You’ll never find me without … my wedding ring. I feel unsettled and incomplete if I don’t have it on. I also have a slight obsession with my iPhone. I love that I can check my email from practically anywhere!

You might be surprised to know that I … never officially dated my husband. We were good friends in high school. Wrote letters to each other while he was living away from home for two years, and then got engaged two weeks after he returned home. I knew I had a good thing when I found it! We will celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversary this coming January.

My least favorite chore is … Laundry . . . it is never-ending! Sigh!

I started scrapbooking in … high school when my mom came back from a home party and showed me what she had made. I was in a Photography class at the time and I thought it would be really fun to combine the two together. I became more seroius about it as I married my husband and was determined to record our family story from the very beginning. I treasure our family scrapbooks. I have a terrible memory and so I am grateful to enjoy a hobby that helps me remember our special times together while expressing myself creatively.

My favorite thing about this hobby is … being constantly amazed and inspired by what crafters around me are creating. What a treat to have the opportunity to interract with such innovative, creative souls!

If I were a Pebbles product I would be … Pebbles Patterned Paper. Colorful, happy, and spunky one minute, subtle and relaxed the next.

Jana created so many amazing projects for us including this adorable layout about her daughter’s school pajama party.  Here’s what Jana had to say … “We have had an unusually wet Spring this year. Normally, my daughter’s preschool class celebrates the end of the year with a Water Party, but because of the bad weather they had to change it to a Pajama Party instead. It didn’t matter to my daughter she was excited as could be and spent two days picking out just the right pair of pajamas to wear to school. The “Sparkle” star paper of the Enchanted Collection was my jumping off point for this page. I repeated the star shape with punched accents around my page. The stars combined with a fluffy white cloud was the perfect way to enhance the Pajama Party theme I wanted to convey.”

Here’s what Jana had to say about her next project … “We have a bit of a technology obsession here in my family. My husband and I are attached to our iPhones while our kids like to bring their Nintendo DS game devices with them as we run errands in the car. On this particular day, I had to giggle at my girls when I peered into the family room and found all three of them immersed in their separate games. The castle embellishment from the Enchanted collection reminded me of the princess-y types of games that my girls like to play and enhanced these photos perfectly.”

This next layout made me smile as I have one little boy who is love with his own fluffy Pillow Pet and would love to be invited to this party! LOL  Here’s what Jana had to say … “What better way to spend your day when you are a preschooler than hanging out with your Pillow Pet friends?! While her siblings are away at school during the day she gathers everyone’s pillow pets from around the house and throws, what she calls, “Pillow Pet Parties.” I used my Cricut Expression machine to recreate her fluffy friends. I love the way the Pebbles Felt Layered Embellishments repeat their cuddly texture on the page. And just like the Pebbles Dimensional Sticker states, when you’re four-years-old ‘Life is Good!'”

Other supplies used:

Die Cut Cartridges (Create A Critter, Plantin Schoolbook – Provo Craft)
Miscellaneous (Pen, Ink)

And finally Jana created this amazing layout about her daughter’s quest for the (student) presidency!  Here’s what Jana had to say … “My daughter recently ran for student office and she used the movie “Up” as her campaign theme. I thought it would be fun to recreate the feeling of the movie on this scrapbook page by using the Cloud Nine paper from the Happy Go Lucky collection. I also decided to create a bouquet of balloons using my Cricut Expression machine and the cheery colors of the collection as a page accent. The vibe matches my daughter’s spunky personality perfectly and really helped me to pull this memory together on this layout. Good news! My daughter won and will be serving as 8th Grade President next year. We are so proud of her!”

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

Describe yourself in 3 words …  Caring, Shy, Procrastinator.

My guilty pleasure is …  without a doubt – Starbucks.  I should own part of that company by now.  😉

You’ll never find me without …  my iPhone.  I am addicted to playing games on it.  It comes in so handy when I am waiting around.

You might be surprised to know that I …  learned to sew because of scrapbooking.  And the funny thing is that my mom made a living with her sewing machine while I was growing up.  (She made custom draperies.)  I never had any interest in learning when I was younger.  

My least favorite chore is …  vacuuming.  My dogs are always bringing in dirt, so my floors always need to be cleaned.

I started scrapbooking in …  2005.  I went to buy party invites for my daughter’s 5th birthday party, and the ones I wanted were really expensive.  I decided to make my own, and after that I was hooked.  In hindsight, I should have gotten the expensive invitations.  I would have saved a ton of money in the long run.  LOL

My favorite thing about this hobby is …  getting to be creative.  From picking and choosing color and patterns to making something from start to finish, I love it all.    

If I were a Pebbles product I would be …  the felt flowers.  You can’t go wrong with flowers!

Roree created so many amazing projects for us including this gorgeous layout about her daughter.  Here’s what Roree had to say … “When I saw the felt flower embellishments from the Happy Go Lucky collection, I immediately started looking through my photos for something with flowers.  I found these pictures of my daughter picking flowers when she was 2.  (She’s now 11!)  The flowers were the perfect embellishment to help tell my story.”

And finally Roree created this adorable card perfect for any little girl.  Here’s what Roree had to say … “When I think of fairy tales, stars come to mind, (like “When you wish upon a star…”).  I made a star shaped card and added die-cut flowers to the small rose brads to make them larger.  Then I layered the rest of the embellishments to make a card perfect for any little girl.”

Guest Designer: Sheri Reguly plus a GIVEAWAY!

I am so very excited to share with you a new feature here on the Pebbles blog.  Several times a month we will be asking some very talented scrapbookers to share their time and talent with us here on the Pebbles blog as a Guest Designer.  Our very first Guest Designer comes to us all the way from Canada and is none other than the amazingly talented Sheri Reguly!  Let’s get to know Sheri a little bit better …

Describe yourself in 3 words …  Loving, Dependable, Stubborn.

My guilty pleasure is …chocolate (in any shape or form).

You’ll never find me without …chapstick, lipgloss, or lipstick on. Dry lips drive me absolutely crazy.  I generally have about a dozen Bonne Bell Lip Smackers on the go at once, and keep them conveniently spread across the house.

You might be surprised to know that I …got married when I was only 22. This summer we’ll be celebrating 16 wonderful years!

My least favorite chore is …cleaning the bathrooms.

I started scrapbooking in … 2001, shortly after the birth of my son, Justin.

My favorite thing about this hobby is … the fact that I’m preserving our family’s memories in both photos and words. A close second would be that little bit of “me time” where I get to relax and unwind at the end of the day. 🙂

If I were a Pebbles product I would be …  the entire Happy Go Lucky collection. I just love it’s wonderful combination of colors, as well as it’s playful and lighthearted feel.

Sheri created several wonderful projects for us including this stunning layout.  Here’s what Sheri had to say … “My inspiration for this layout was the embossed sticker that I used for my title. My daughter, Shailyn, has such an amazing little personality, and is a true free spirit at heart. I love her just the way she is, and truly hope that she never changes. I chose my cardstock and patterned papers based on the colors within my photo. The gray cardstock resembles the concrete background, and the pinks, reds, greens, and blues can all be found within her outfit. The flowers, tress, butterfly and clouds all reflect her love for nature and, as well as her genuine love for life. I wanted this page to be as happy as she is.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Happy Go Lucky Glad Varnish (751087)
Happy Go Lucky Delight (751086)
Happy Go Lucky Dandy (751089)
Happy Go Lucky Embossed Stickers (732036)
Happy Go Lucky Chipboard Flowers (747071)
Happy Go Lucky Buttons (747069)

Other supplies used:
Cardstock (American Crafts)

Here’s what Sheri had to say about her next project … “My inspiration for this layout was the epoxy accent that I used for my title. The fairytale wording inspired everything from my color choices, to the words I chose for my journaling, as well as the feminine embellishments that I incorporated into my design. My goal was to create a very girly page, that was fit for a princess.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Happy Go Lucky Dandy (751089)
Happy Go Lucky Glad Varnish (751087)
Happy Go Lucky Border Stickers (732037)
Happy Go Lucky Dimensional Stickers (732038)

Happy Go Lucky Embossed Stickers (732036)
Ever After Flower Brads (747101)
Ever After Epoxy Brads (747095)

Other supplies used:
Cardstock (American Crafts)

Here’s what Sheri had to say about her next project … “It has made me so incredibly happy, that my children have finally found that they have a friend in eachother. I wanted this layout to document that very special relationship. The cloud paper that I chose for the top portion of my page, blends in perfectly with the background of my photo. If you look closely, you can spot the blue sky just behind the trees. The dimensional sticker was perfectly fitting with the theme of my page, therefore making for the ideal title choice. I chose my patterned papers based on the colors within my photo, and incorporated a few simple accents to complete my design.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Happy Go Lucky Cloud Nine (751090)

Happy Go Lucky Glad Varnish (751087)
Happy Go Lucky Buttons (747069)
Happy Go Lucky Embossed Stickers (732036)
Happy Go Lucky Dimensional Stickers (732038)

And finally Sheri created this adorably sweet “thank you” card.  Here’s what Sheri had to say … “Whenever I get the chance, I like to create simple cards, just to have on hand. Often, I’ll create a card with the leftovers that are sitting on my desk after designing a layout. All of the colors and patterns from the Happy Go Lucky collection work so wonderfully together, and the decorative border strips make for the perfect simple embellishment. I used one strip to separate my two main patterns, and incorporated another into the flag banner that I used for my sentiment. A simple dimensional flower accent was then added to my card for the perfect finishing touch.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Happy Go Lucky Splendid (751081)
Happy Go Lucky Glad Varnish (751091)
Happy Go Lucky Cloud Nine (751090)
