Mix & Match Monday

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend.  I have actually prescheduled today's post since I am still in Los Angeles, CA for CHA.  I fly home today and will be announcing the winners of our new collection giveaways on Wednesday.  In the meantime, today on the Pebbles blog we'll be mixing and matching some Pebbles products to show you just how well our collections can be used with one another.

Design team member Kim Kesti created this adorable layout by choosing products with the same color palette from different collections.  Here's what Kim had to say ... "I love the freedom that Pebbles gives me by coordinating the colors from many different lines. For this layout I used patterned paper from New Arrival Girl, patterned paper from Cats & Dogs, and stickers from Twitterpated. It all came together so easily. I even used that cute little daisy from the Spool Ribbon - see it up there on my tag? It's like a little free bonus. Love that."

New Arrival Girl Daddy’s Girl (751053)

Design team member Kristen Swain mixed things up to create this gorgeous layout of her sweet girl.  Here's what Kristen had to say ... "Sometimes it can be hard to get a cohesive feel when you mix different lines together. My trick is to use smaller patterns and try to stick to the colors of the bold pattern. For my layout, I brought in the red and browns from the Tree House collection to coordinate with the bold pattern in the Cats & Dogs Catnip paper. I also was able to take some blue items from the New Arrival collection and add them in, since there is so much blue in the papers. Keeping with the same manufacturer also helps to coordinate colors, some manufacturers like Pebbles use similar colors in their collections, making it easier to mix and match."
