We’re excited to finally announce our new Pebbles design team for the 2016-2017 term! We know these talented ladies are going to create some really incredible projects and can’t wait to see what they cook up. Read on to get to know them a little bit better!

PB Design Team 16-17

Heather Leopard
I was born and raised in the Lone Star State and live in Cypress, Texas with my family – hubby, 2 daughters, 1 bonus son, and 2 rescue dogs. I lead marketing and thought leadership initiatives for a major tech company but my real passion is playing with paper, glue and scissors. I love to scrap the daily adventures of my family and I aim to capture the essence of the little details of whatever it is they are doing. My signature style includes lots of pattern mixing, matching, and layering in fun and interesting ways. I also design for Shimelle.com and Gossamer Blue.

Favorite snack: Butterfinger peanut butter cups but I’ve sworn off processed and added sugar so watermelon it is!
Favorite type of craft: Scrapbooking, sewing and anything I can do with or teach my girls
Favorite hobby (besides crafting): Home renovations / decorating

Monique Liedtke
My name is Monique Liedtke and I live in The Netherlands together with my husband of almost 20 years and 3 wonderful kids: 1 daughter (19) and 2 sons (17 and 11). I work part-time (15 hours a week) in an HR office 5 minutes cycling from home. I’ve always had many hobbies and until I found scrapbooking reading took up most of my free time. Beside reading I love traveling, walking, aqua jogging, line dancing, the cinema, watching detectives, knitting… I’ve been scrapping for about 12 years now and can’t imagine life without it; I scrapbook every day of the week. Sometimes it’s only printing photos or cutting out cut files and sometimes I spend hours creating pages or other projects. Creating scrapbook pages is what I love to do most, but I also love to make cards, mini albums, decorate planners etc. My projects are always full of color and details. My favorite techniques are sewing on my projects, both with the sewing machine and by hand and also using lots of layers and (digital) cut files. I’m so excited to be on the new Pebbles team! It’s a dream come true.

Favorite snack: marzipan! You can wake me up in the middle of the night for this!
Favorite type of craft: Creating scrapbook layouts.
Favorite hobby (besides crafting): Reading. I love reading a lot of genres, just as long as it’s fiction.

Renee Zwirek
Hello, Hello! I’m Renee Zwirek. I live in Aurora, Illinois with my husband, Chris, and our sweet girls, Caitie and Payton.  I love scrapbooking and photography.  It’s so much fun, creative, and keeps me sane.  I’ve been scrapbooking for more than 11 years.  I love creating layouts of my girls and cards for my family.  When I’m not paper crafting, I enjoy spending time with my family, snacking on Gardetto’s, and watching AMC’s The Walking Dead.  I’m so excited and look forward to my 5th year with the Pebbles family!

Becki Adams
Because I’ve been a member of the Pebbles family for a while now, I thought it would be fun to share a few random things about me: 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). 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.

My husband (Justin) spoils me rotten and is my greatest supporter. Together we have 3 kids, Cole, Kayleigh and Austin. All of our kids will go to school for the whole day for the first time in our married lives. It’s a new chapter of our lives with me working at home and all the kids gone all day. I’m excited and a little bit nervous about the long quiet days.

I have been a passionate memory keeper since I was young. This past year I have made scrapbooking/paper crafting my full-time job. I have had the opportunity to work with many amazing companies and have made lifelong friends through this amazing hobby. I am so happy to be working with Pebbles for another year. There are amazing things to come this year with this awesome team, I am so thrilled to be a part of it. I truly love my job!!!

Favorite snack: Chocolate, anything chocolate (except brownies, weird, I know)
Favorite type of craft: I am a traditional scrapbooker at heart. Creating layouts and mini albums makes my heart sing.
Favorite hobby (besides crafting): I love to read, I’m a bookworm! I also love to work on unique home decor projects. I love home decor that is unique and my own!

Leanne Allinson
Hi everyone! My name is Leanne and I live in sunny Queensland, Australia! I am a busy mum of four children – 1 daughter and three sons! My husband and I are actively involved in our boys’ field hockey club and our daughter’s dance life! These guys and their passions are what I love to document as our family historian.. aka scrapbooker!! I create 8.5×11 scrapbook pages and love the challenge this smaller size offers. My style is often described as clustered elements in white space and I love fresh combinations of colour.

Besides scrapbooking, my favourite hobby is photography. The adage “I wish my eyes could take photos” certainly rings true with me! If I don’t have a camera in my hand, there’s probably something wrong! LOL!! My fave snack food is chocolate, with M&M’s leading the way. So ultimately, chocolate and pretty paper will keep me happy any day of the week!
I am so excited to be a part of this amazing team and I can’t wait to start creating with Pebbles product, hopefully inspiring you along the way to document your everyday lifestyle and crazy obsessions!

Eva Pizarro
My name is Eva. I am 35 years old, and I am from Chile. I live in Santiago with my husband Marco and my little one Lorenzo. I have been scrapbooking for almost ten years, and I love it! I started scrapbooking while living in Italy and haven’t stopped since! I love to do layouts, mini albums or home decor. I try to do something creative everyday.

I love the beach, chocolate, to cook (and eat), spend time with my family and photography.
Favorite snack: chocolate
Favorite type of craft: layouts
Favorite hobby: besides scrapbooking, cooking

Wendy Sue Anderson
Hi, I’m Wendy Sue Anderson and I am absolutely thrilled to be working with the amazing folks at Pebbles, Inc. for another year!  I live in a beautiful mountain valley in Utah with my husband and four kiddos. I have been lucky to work in this awesome industry for almost a dozen years and I love it now as much as I did on day one. I can’t wait to share my projects with you over the coming months!

Favorite snack: Does diet coke count? It’s definitely my favorite.  Add a splash of cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime and I’m in heaven!
Favorite type of craft: Anything paper-related: scrapbooking, card-making, gift packaging, etc.
Favorite hobby (besides crafting): We just bought an RV this summer and we’ve fallen in love with traveling and camping!  Anytime we can take our boat out on the water is a bonus.  I also love a good book, playing scrabble, and photography!

I discovered scrapbooking while finishing my engineering degree in Italy 8 years ago, and I immediately fell in love! I now do something scrap-related practically everyday! I like to scrap pictures that have a story or mean something to me. I use clean lines and often a neutral background. I also think journaling is really important! I’ve always liked to write about my feelings and emotions, and I found in scrapbooking a way for me to express my inner side and my creativity.

Hi, I’m Amanda Coleman! I live near Rexburg, Idaho with my husband of 13 years, my 10 year-old son, and 8 year-old daughter.  We are bonafide city slickers turned country folk.  Almost two years ago we bought a small farm and are still learning the quirks of managing a larger property.  We have and a bunch of critters including goats, chickens, cats, dogs, and a horse.  We have also raised ducks, turkeys, and pigs.  The farm is one big, fun experiment!

I delight in everything chocolate and relish my daily Coke Zero.  I enjoy crafts of all types.  I sew a little, crochet a little, and enjoy baking and cooking.  I used to be a high school teacher and teach biology part time at the local university.

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.

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.  🙂
