Theme: Grateful

Hey everyone!  First things first, we have a winner to announce from last week's Product Parade blog post.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment.  There were some really great ideas shared about how you would use our brand new Felt Embellishments in your next project.  And the lucky winner is ...
 
Congratulations Laura!  Please email your full name and mailing information to pebblesincdt(at)gmail(dot)com and put "Felt Embellishments Winner" in the subject line. 

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, this week on the Pebbles blog is all about being grateful.  Our design team members have created projects to celebrate who (or what) they are thankful for.  On behalf of the entire Pebbles design team and staff I would just like to take a moment to say that we are grateful for you, our blog readers, and your continued support of our products and our design team.  So thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.  :)

Design team member Kim Kesti certainly has a lot to be grateful for and created this beautiful layout and coordinating card to document her gratitude.  Here's what Kim had to say ... "I am certainly blessed by a large healthy family; it felt really good to create this layout to celebrate that gratitude. I cut leaves with my Quickutz dies from a large variety of patterned paper. I love that so many different lines have colors that coordinate. In fact, I made so many leaves that I had extra and decided to make a quick "Thank You" card with the leftovers. What are you grateful for today?”

Design team member Anna Sigga created this sweet layout about the special bond between her daughter and cousin.  Here's what Anna had to say ... "I was really stuck regarding the "Grateful" theme for a while but then it hit me - of course I can create a layout without using the title Grateful, it's the feeling that counts isn't it? So I decided to create a layout about the amazing bond between my older daughter and her cousin Isabella. Isabella lives in Florida so the girls only see each other every 2 years or so - plus my lil one doesn't speak English. I was amazed to see such a strong bond between those two - no matter how far apart they are or the language barrier they managed to create such a strong connection."

Design team member Suzanne Sergi created this sweet card to show her appreciation to her knitting instructor.  Here's what Suzanne had to say ... "I have always wanted to learn how to knit or crochet. Well, my best friend scheduled a private session so I could begin to achieve this goal. I fell in love with all the color and the different textures. It was overwhelming, but I was so happy to finally be able to learn this craft. Our instructor was simply amazing. She used generic terms, and was very patient with me. I am starting out with a scarf, and although I kept having to start over, I knew I had found a new hobby! I wanted to show my gratitude to her. Of course, for me it is through my love of scrapbooking! I created a card to simply let her know, I appreciate the kindness and patience shown to me. The Twitterpated Collection was the perfect color palette to express my gratitude to her."
