Hello!  Amanda here today.  This week is favorite phrases week here on the Pebbles blog.  The phrase I chose may not be inspirational or the feel-good quote of the year, but it is practical and quite often used around our home.

If you live with children (or even grown men), you find yourself repeating this phrase quite often.  “Flush and wash!”, you shout as your child exits the bathroom.  Hoping to give my vocal cords some respite, I’ll hang this clipboard in the bathroom and hope, perhaps by some miracle, that the message will sink in and I’ll soon have independent flushers.

Gold dots, gold ampersand, gold clip, gold letters.  So much shiny gold!  Create custom phrases and artwork by modifying pre-printed gallery wall art with Thickers or other embellishments.  Hang them with a pretty gold clipboard and you have instant trendy art.  You could use the big, gold foil ampersand to create a number of fun phrases: you & me, love & laugh, friends & family, hearth & home, etc., etc.

Wait!  Don’t put your Tickers on just yet!  Experiment with the placement of your Thickers by lightly placing them on an acetate sheet or photo overlay.  Move the overlay around until you find the placement you like best, then remove your Thickers and place directly on your project.  BONUS TIP: You can also unstick your Thickers with baby powder and then adhere them with adhesive.

You can also use the acetate sheets to experiment with different kinds of Thickers without having to commit.  I experimented with these dark pink foam Thickers, but decided I liked the black and gold better.

Thanks for stopping by today!
