Thanks a bunch!!!

Ok...so no dust...and a layout or two or a lot.

Me being the slacker that I am, I haven't gotten my blog all Whirlygigged out...HOWEVER...I am changing it to another kit by Leah..but I'm not sharing which one yet so you'll just have to wait and see!

I've been on the Pebbles Inc team for a year now, and have loved every minute of it! I have some projects I've made over the past couple of months that I thought I'd share! The first one was for a Spring Theme Challenge. The one thing that always reminds me of spring is my mom's tulips. I love tulips and these cheesy photos of Hayden were perfect for the theme.

 

This next layout was introducing the line "Twitterpated" to the world. I love this line because I have so many little girl pictures because of Miss Suzi and my many little nieces. Miss Leah here somehow has become the subject of many Pebbles Inc layouts, but how could I resist the cute pics of this cutie that always happens to match the paper I'm about to use?

For the next project, I was introducing the line "May Bouquet". For this project I made some cards and it was so quick and easy using the sheets of premade 3" cards that come in 12x12 sheets. Pebbles introduced new items this year with more rub-ons, flowers and these cool things called stackers.

For the month of June, one of the projects that I was assigned to was to make something for or about Father's day. I love the Treehouse line and knew it would be perfect for a card for my own dad. Like the alpha stickers? That's something else that was added to the new lines.

The last project I would like to share was for Sketchy Thursdays. This layout was a fun one for me. I used the Treehouse line again (can you tell it's my favorite?) and made this layout of Miss Suzi in one of her arranged poses. I love the silliness that my children posses. 

 

This layout uses a stacker that I mentioned. It's that big red flower. Also notice the glittery alpha? Yeah, the alpha stickers come in glitter form. I love it!

Well, thanks for stopping by my blog and taking the time to read it. Don't forget that Pebbles Inc is having their Design Team call! I'm trying out for a second term I think. This is literally my dream team and being on it has been an amazing opportunity. Hope some of you will throw your hat in the ring as well!

Pardon the dust....

I'll be changing the look of my blog using this amazing kit by Leah aka Bluebird Chic from Miss Tiina's shop.

I love knowing how to digi scrap..although I still consider myself quite the beginner, I'm learning. And being able to make my own backgrounds for my blogger is a lot of fun. Especially cuz the kits I usually use are made by Leah and they are FANTASTIC! Here's a layout I did using the Whirlygig kit. I also used distressing from her Stained and Splattered, an alpha from Sweet as Honey and parts from her previous "Cherry Pie" and "Bitty Alphabet" kits.

So you may see my blog change a little, or a lot..lol..but when the background matches the widgets, I should be done! Thanks for Stopping by!

Speaking of Digi Templates..

I didn't realize that Funky Playground Designs was giving a tutorial on how to use them in Photoshop Elements, so in case you're wondering how to do it, here's a link to their tutorial: http://funkyplaygrounddesigns.com/blog/?p=2899

Another Digi layout!

I've been playing more with digi again. One thing that makes it easier while you're learning things is using templates that people put out. They are like sketches but you just clip papers and elements and pictures to fit into the places already set like this one:

I can't remember where I got this one from, I think it was from www.freedigitalscrapbooking.com. Anyways here's what I did with it. I used various kits from Designs by Leah at Funky Playground Designs, including "Green Peace", "Happy Camper" and "Cherry Pie" The font is one I made for ACBailey, and here it is!

Thanks for stopping by! It's late, Hayden is at a sleepover, Bryan is working and Suzi is asleep, so I'm off to make something cute, maybe a new watch band, or something crafty, don't know yet. Have a good night!

Lost and Found Thursdays At The Funkyplayground!

Since I joined Leah's Creative team, I've been trying to play with digital more and doing more than just layering and shadow dropping. I've discovered different photoshop actions, but there's still so much to learn. What's made the leap into the digi world is the fabulous kits made by the amazing Leah Faquarson.

Today is Lost and Found Thursdays at Funky Playground Designs, and this past kit has been featured at an amazing $2! There are a ton of elements, some great papers and fun alphabets so check it out! http://www.funkyplaygrounddesigns.com/store/product.php?productid=21590&cat=0&page=2

I played with this kit and come up with this not so fall looking photos of my kids on a sunny November day. Thanks for stopping by!

Pebbles Inc Peeks!!!

CHA is sneaking up and Pebbles Inc has sneak peeks of their new lines Twitterpatted, Treehouse, and May Bouquet. Check it out! http://www.pebblesinc.blogspot.com/

Pardon my Dust...

I'm playing around with decorating my blog without the use of a predone template. I'm still learning so if you visit and it's really wierd looking, it's probably because I'm still working on it! I'm definately going to be using one of the fabulous kits by Designs by Leah at http://www.funkyplaygrounddesigns.com/. But still deciding on which one!

Layout sharing!

I hadn't realized it's been awhile since I've shared some layouts. The first one is made using all Pebbles Inc products from the product line "Little Miss"

This one uses papers from "So Tweet" and Pebbles Chips and ribbon! (Alpha is from American Crafts)

This next one also uses products from skipping along. I used my cricut and sure-cuts-alot for the title, but everything else is pebbles! To do the dotted borders, turn your paper to the backside and poke with a pin or paper peircer, then turn over and sand, the core will show through and I love this look!

This is using the Skipping Along collection, Chips and ribbon. Alpha by American Crafts.

This one uses papers from the "Lil' Buddy" collection and various Chips and ribbon.

Now a few digital layouts! I'm still a pretty newish digi scrapper. I don't have a lot of experience and I'm still constantly learning things about my PSE, but the lovely Leah Faquarson at Funkyplaygrounddesigns.com has allowed me to be a part of her creative team! Here's a layout using her "Document Today" collection.

And this one uses her "Christmas Cookies" collection!

Thanks for stopping by!
