New Month, new challenge, more changes to win!

Friends–it’s June. JUNE! Summer has nearly started, the days keep getting longer and longer and the weather is finally perking up here in Utah! WAHOO! In between trips to the pool, we’d recommend making time to craft. The challenge for the month is pretty straightforward and totally do-able! AND you could win some paper and embellishments. Awesome right?

Want to see what we mean?

All you need to do is take the sketch and create a card that resembles it in some way (either directly or indirectly–feel free to rotate it, add or take away elements, etc.).

Here is one way to put it together – there is one more after the sketch as well.

Here are the basic rules:

  1. Use 75% Pebbles products in your project.
  2. Submit your projects via photograph to [email protected]
  3. Photos are due by 11:59pm, June 18th.
  4. Spread the word when the submissions are posted to Facebook!

We’ll spend a week with them on Facebook and then pick a winner (maybe two!) to get some paper and embellishments!

Ready to get started? We can’t wait to hear from you!

April has officially started – and we are a day late getting the challenge started (please forgive our technically difficulties!). Without any further delays – we’ll jump right in! This month, we are focusing on all things Mom.

As you know, mom’s come in different forms. They nurture differently, they love differently – and in most cases, are tailored just for us! They aren’t all perfect, they probably have to “fake it” until they “make it” sometimes… and we couldn’t be more grateful!

So – how do you celebrate the mom’s in your life? Do you make them a card? Capture important moments on a scrapbook page? Share their wisdom on a letter board? Whatever you make, we hope you’ll share one of those projects with us for our challenge!

Submissions are due by 11:59pm, April 17th. Your photos need to be emailed to [email protected] by that date to be in the running for new goodies (we’ll choose 2 winners!). If they do arrive late, we’ll still share them afterwards too!

Best of luck to you! And thank you to our guest designers for all of these lovely samples to get you started. Aren’t they awesome?!

New month, new challenge – same giveaway!

Hi friends! It’s now February. FEBRUARY. January just flew by (as life tends to go these days) – but it’s still hard to believe it is now gone!

With the new month, however, we have a new challenge! Keeping it as easy as January, we are going to stick with a theme instead of a specific sketch. Hopefully, this will get more people involved in the challenge! And…you can probably guess what we chose – Love and Friendship-themed projects!

This leaves so much room for interpretation! We hope you’ll take it too! Here are some ideas from crafters we asked to help us get this started – let them inspire you!

As you can see, nearly anything is game! Whether you love to make cards or layouts, share your projects with friends or family, they all work! What will you make?? We can’t wait to see!

Once your project is done, email a photo of it to [email protected] If we get enough participation, after the submission period is over and the cheering time is done, we’ll pick two winners to receive some of their favorite Pebbles products! We will pick at least one winner for sure.

Submissions are due by midnight, February 17th. Let’s get crafting!

Who is ready for a challenge? We are!!

Guess what…we’re keeping things super simple this year and sticking with themes! For January, we hope you’ll consider making a Thank You card with your favorite Pebbles or Jen Hadfield products. That’s it! You only need to make a card and send a picture to us and you are in the running for a prize!

Here are some examples to get you started – but the style doesn’t matter one bit…all you need to do is make sure you have our product in the project.

Submissions are due by midnight, January 20th. We can’t wait to hear from you!

“My Bright Life” Card Challenge

Leave a Comment

If you’re familiar at all with my style, you know that I love a white (or solid) background with little pops of color.  At the same time, I love, love, love, a fresh and colorful design! So you can imagine the turmoil I felt when I opened up the new “My Bright Life” collection – it’s filled with so many (many, many, many) beautiful, colorful, happy designs!  I wanted to use every single one of them!   Here’s where fate played a role – my assignment was to challenge myself to craft outside my comfort zone!  So I did!!  I challenged myself to create a card using at least FIVE patterned papers – on the SAME card!  Yes, it was a challenge, for sure!

"My Bright Life" Card Challenge by @WendySue for @PebblesInc.

Here’s my first attempt:

"My Bright Life" Card Challenge by @WendySue for @PebblesInc.

I know…I kind of chickened out a bit.  I picked papers with only a few colors.  It was still a challenge to incorporate several patterned papers, with no solids, and I really like the way the card turned out, but I felt like I didn’t rise to the spirit of the challenge."My Bright Life" Card Challenge by @WendySue for @PebblesInc.

So I tried again!  This time I picked papers that I wouldn’t necessarily choose under any other circumstance.  I love them each on their own, but I struggle with mixing bold patterns.

What do you think?  I think I did a little bit better on this one!  "My Bright Life" Card Challenge by @WendySue for @PebblesInc.

And then I thought I should give it another go.  So I made this card:

And this card:

Then I made another one!

And before I knew it, I had a half dozen cards completed!

And now I want to create a dozen more!!

So now, I challenge YOU!  Either take my challenge, or challenge yourself to craft outside your comfort zone.  You just might be surprised at the outcome!
