A Break from the Holiday Stuff...

So I don't know if you're feeling a little sick of green and red like I am.  My craft space is covered in it these days as I try to finish up all my Christmas gift projects before it gets too crazy around here.  I'm getting tired of Christmas colors already (and it's my favorite holiday of all time) and I have yet to decorate my house - which by the way becomes a veritable Christmas-fest.  This months kit is such a nice diversion from the red and green I am engulfed in right now - such gorgeous springy colors, muted tones and great patterns.  Enjoy this Easter layout I did using the kit, isn't it super Spring-y?

I used some of the Smooch Spritz in Spun Sugar (available in the Queen Scraps store) on the background cardstock just to soften it up a bit before I added all the patterned paper.  Pick up your kit before they are all gone and take a break from the red and green of holiday projects for just a bit and let your mind wander to Springtime.

Another Pebbles LO fun with Ink & Mist!!

I created this LO using scraps from the Pebbles kit!!
I really wanted to use a lot of inking & misting!
I grabbed the Smooch Spritz that I bought from the Queen Scraps Store
and had fun!!
I used a tube to create the circles and used Electric blue and Pink Sprinkles and mixed the two for the light burgundy color!
The misting on the background I used Gingersnap!
If you haven't tried misting yet check out all the colors at the Queen Scraps Store!!

Have a Wonderful day!!

Lots of blingage

This month's Pebbles Inc. kit comes with a generous handful of sequins, rhinestones and bling. I decided to border my half circles on this LO with all the seguins I could fit. I really like the outcome.






Enjoy the last of your weekend!

More Pebbles fun...

Today I wanted to make a little gift for a stocking stuffer for Christmas. A while ago I had grabbed some of these fun clear checkbook covers. They are simply perfect to alter for anyone and love how this months kits make the cover look. So here it is.




I did a little border punching, cut out some of the beautiful blue flowers from one of the papers, added the butterfly stickers and the pearl for the center of the flower. Love how it turned out and what a fabulous gift to give.

Versatility at Its Finest

I LOVED working with the November kit...it forced me to think out of my comfort zone as I usually gravitate towards the more masculine papers but look how cute this worked out for a layout about my son and fishing.

The "B" sides of these Pebbles papers rock...super cute, fun graphics that can go anywhere.  May Bouquet isn't just for your Spring layouts you can tailor it to suit whatever photos you're working with.  I even used an ink pad and my heat tool to make the sparkly sequins green and distort their shape.  Hurry on over to the store and grab some for yourself before it's all gone.

Fall is in the air!

Here is a Fall LO using the Pebbles kit!
I created this LO using a sketch by The Scrappiest!
The colors in these papers goes so well for a Fall theme LO!
Our daughter is painting her pumpkin and this is one of her favorite Fall activites with pumpkins!
Everything on this LO came with the kit except for the paper flowers, blue rhinestone, and the blue cardstock.
I ruffled the striped paper over the blue cardstock because I wanted the paper to flow like a ribbon!
Did you see some of the fun embellishments that came with this kit?!
The acrylic flowers, the bling, and the yellow Jenni Bowlin Butterflies!
This kit has a lot of fun embellishments I'm sure all of you will love!

Hope you are enjoying your week!
