AC/Pebbles Product Swap!

Hi everyone!  So this week proves to be a very exciting one here on the Pebbles blog.  I am so excited to announce that we have teamed up with our parent company American Crafts this week to bring you projects that use BOTH Pebbles and American Crafts products.  We'll be sharing lots of projects to show you not only how easy it is to mix these two manufacturers but also just how fun it can be as well.  So sit back and get ready to be inspired!


I (Lynn Ghahary) had so much fun creating this layout about my boys at the beach.  The colors in the Tree House, Abode, and Heat Wave collections work together wonderfully.  I had a lot of fun accenting my photos with stickers and bits of paper that I fussy cut from both the Tree House and Heat Wave collections.  And of course I am loving the new glitter candy dots from Pebbles - they add just the right amount of sparkle (not too much, not too little) to my boyish layout.

Design team member Pam Callaghan added a little Heat Wave to her Tree House and came up with this fun beach layout.  Here's what Pam had to say ... "I have been wanting to scrapbook my husband building sandcastles for quite some time.  The Pebbles and American Crafts supplies were perfect for my page.  I first drew a template on Photoshop Elements and cropped my photos to fit inside the template.  After I printed my photos, I designed my page with bright colors and beach themed items!"

Design team member Liz Qualman created this fun congratulations card.  Here's what Liz had to say ... "I just love the little My House chipboard pieces from American Crafts and combined with the congratulations 3x3 journal card from the Pebbles May Bouquet collection it made the perfect card for a new homeowner.  To give the card a "window" appearance,  I cut a circle in the top paper and then pop dotted it from the rest of the card.  I used my Cricut to cut the little blades of grass and then added the neighborhood houses for newly moved in feel."
