Guest Designer: Summer Fullerton and a GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to introduce you to this week's Guest Designer Summer Fullerton!  Let's get to know Summer a little better ...

Describe yourself in 3 words … loyal, sarcastic and happy.

My guilty pleasure is … reality tv and chocolate covered pretzels.

You’ll never find me without … my cell phone (and I am sure I am not alone in this).

You might be surprised to know that I … although I was born in the summer I was actually named for a character in the Dick Tracy comic strip (it was my dad’s idea).

My least favorite chore is … cleaning the shower.

I started scrapbooking in ... about 1997.

My favorite thing about this hobby is ... it’s the creative outlet I have always craved.

If I were a Pebbles product I would be … patterned paper because it’s the foundation to every project.

"Hip Hip Hooray was a total match to the photos of my daughter opening up her presents on her eleventh birthday. I created what I like to call a pocket design where I line up different patterned papers and layer photos, title and embellishments down the page randomly tucking elements under the different papers just as if they were pockets."

"I adore 6x6 paper pads and am not afraid to put them to use on more than just cards. I used them to create a quadrant background for this layout. I was struggling with my title for this layout so I asked my daughter if she had any ideas and she came up with the play on words: Hosing Around. I loved the idea and paired it with my other favorite scrabooking obsession working with the negative space from a die cut image/title."

"I have had these little flat paper bags in my crafting stash for years and always thought they would make a cool envelope idea so I used products from the Hip Hip Hooray collection to put together a little birthday card. I trimmed down the original bags for a sleeker look and created a card to poke out of the top of the bag from coordinating patterned paper."

"I found this paper bow pattern on Pinterest and I have used it on several cards over the past few months. When I saw the mini clothes pins I knew I had to make a paper bow and attach a greeting to it using a clothes pin. I hand cut my bow but for all my Silhouette fans I have been told there is one available for purchase."

"The Sunnyside collection has got to be my favorite line right now. I really love the variety of patterns and scales and especially love mixing the traditional 12x12 pieces of paper with the smaller scale pieces from the 6x6 pad. I created a mini banner by folding punched circles in half over twine and securing them with a mini stapler. This is a great way to add pattern to an otherwise monochromatic project/card."
