Meet: Holly Gagnon

Aug

I’m Holly of Ribbons & Glue and live in Las Vegas, NV with my husband and two children. I previously worked as a Registered Dietitian who has been lucky enough to hang up her lab coat to become a SAHM.

My passion for papercrafting started over 10 years ago as a Scrapbooker and now my creativity has turned towards altering items, home decor and anything I can up-cycle. I’m a sucker for small details and love to make unique gifts for friends and family.

I look forward to another exciting year on the Pebbles Design Team and I hope my creations bring inspiration.

Meet: Mendi Yoshikawa

My name is Mendi Yoshikawa and I am so happy to be here!!! I am married my college sweetheart and together we live in Camas, Washington with our 2 girls and one very spoiled cat.

With the birth of our oldest daughter 14 years ago, I caught the scrapbooking bug (and later the stamping and card making bugs) and I have been obsessed ever since. I gravitate towards designs with clean, linear lines and bright colors. I am also a sketch addict with a passion for die-cutting and sewing on my projects.

I love staying up late and would live in my pajamas if I could. My favorite crafty snacks are Dr. Pepper and all things bread-related, but I’m trying my best to reduce my intake of both. When I’m not in my craft room I enjoy taking on organizational projects, shopping for bargains, watching crime dramas and old movies from the 1930’s through 1960’s (and of course taking long naps to recover from my late nights). 😉

You can follow me at my blog at Snippets By Mendi or on Pinterest. I also keep an updated gallery of my work at Scrapbook.com and A Cherry On Top. 🙂

Meet: Becki Adams

Hello, I’m Becki Adams. I was born and raised outside of a small farming town in Idaho. Even though I grew up on a potato/wheat farm I don’t eat potatoes or wheat. (My dad is mortified.) I currently raise my kiddos in a home that is only a few miles from the home I grew up in.

I started scrapbooking in 1998 when I was given the assignment to create a scrapbook for a Home Economics class. Like many other scrapbookers, my passion for the hobby really started after I had my oldest son in 2001. Since then, scrapbooking has become a lifestyle for me and my family.

My husband Justin and I have 3 fabulous kids. Cole is 12, Kayleigh is 9, and Austin is 5.

I love a clean house, a good book, and a really great cup of hot chocolate (in the winter) or a glass of raspberry lemonade (in the summer). Oh, and chocolate, don’t forget that I love chocolate. I also love a great find in a thrift store. My most favorite things to look for are books and dishes…a girl can never have too many dishes, or books.

I define my style as, colorful, bold, clean and classic. Memory keeping is my passion. I love to share that passion with everyone! I love teaching and sharing my creativity with others. I’d love to share it with you too at BeckiAdams.com.

Meet: Wendy Sue Anderson

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).

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!):
