Guest Designer: Amy Coose and a GIVEAWAY!


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


Describe yourself in three words ... caring, obsessive, loyal.

My guilty pleasure is ... the Real Housewives series.

You’ll never find me without … coffee - I drink it all day long!

You might be surprised to know that I
… love to listen to rap music.

My least favorite chore is … grocery shopping, I beg my hubby to go for me every week.

I started scrapbooking in ... 2000.

My favorite thing about this hobby is ... I love that I am recording precious memories for my family, and all the incredible people that I've met that love this hobby as much as I do.

If I were a Pebbles product I would be ... a piece of patterned paper, because I think they are truly the best patterns out there, and are so chic and trendy!

"Again, I headed to the cards to see if I could find one that went with these pictures of me and my baby.  I mixed papers from the Seen and Noted and Walnut Grove lines (Pebbles makes it so easy to mix their lines) on this layout.  I really love the amazing embellishments that Pebbles creates with each of their lines.  On this layout I used two of my favorites, the large tag and the 3D banner."

"I had been holding onto these pictures I had taken of Davis each month, and when I got my box of goodies from Pebbles, I knew the O' FL!P book would be perfect for it.  It was so simple, I just added the pictures and a page for some journaling.  Of course, I had to use some of the journaling cards to make the design super easy. :)"
