Fun With Pebbles!!

Good morning! I am not sure, but I think that I might be getting anxious for school to start. Now I am not talking about excited anxious, just pressure anxious. I find myself staying up late, late, late to get things done around my house. And when I say "things done," I am including some scrappy to-dos. #1 on scrappy list this past week was to create a few projects with the oh so yummy Pebbles. If you like color and whimsy, it is your kind of line...LOVE it!! Take a look at my projects...

Love You Card
Made with the oh so sweet Twitterpated Collection...sigh. It is a mix of pinks, yellows, greens, and browns...just perfect for girls! I created a card with a grid...love that. The circle is actually a binder ring that I tied a bunch of coordinating ribbon, and included the sentiment in the center.

Home, Tweet, Home



Now this little diddy was created with the Tree House Collection. And when this line came out last year, I knew that I had to have some in my stash. It is so rich in bright colors, so typical Pebbles. And birdhouses? Who doesn't love birdhouses? Yes, I know the "Home, Tweet, Home" line has been done a few times before, but it is new to me! I began this project by altering a frame with brown acrylic paint and white crackle paint...interesting don't ya think? The backdrop is all of the sides of the patterned paper, arranged to look like a patchwork quilt. The birdhouse and birdy were both created by mimicking a shape from the paper. Love it!

Peace, Love, and Happiness

This is certainly my most favorite Pebbles line to date. It is an old one, but man it is pretty. So Tweet is the name of the collection, and it is still available if you like it. And I don't know if you believe it, but this layout took the longest to create. Those flowers are not stickers...I cut each and every one of those bad boys from a piece of patterned paper! But certainly worth my time, don't ya think?

Grow Together


Here is Twitterpated again...love it!! This collection was just perfect for these sweet pics of my 2 oldest chicks. I incorporated some of my most favorite things to do these days...paper strips, handmade embellishments, and layering embellies. Simply said...I had some fun with this one!

If you have the time you should really stop by their blog for a bit of inspiration. You can check it out HERE. It really is a fun place to visit!! Thanks for stopping by...off to let the tile man in the house to tile the 2 upstairs bathrooms!! Wish me luck!!
