Guest Designer: Sheri Reguly plus a GIVEAWAY!

I am so very excited to share with you a new feature here on the Pebbles blog.  Several times a month we will be asking some very talented scrapbookers to share their time and talent with us here on the Pebbles blog as a Guest Designer.  Our very first Guest Designer comes to us all the way from Canada and is none other than the amazingly talented Sheri Reguly!  Let's get to know Sheri a little bit better ...


Describe yourself in 3 words …  Loving, Dependable, Stubborn.

My guilty pleasure is …chocolate (in any shape or form).

You’ll never find me without …chapstick, lipgloss, or lipstick on. Dry lips drive me absolutely crazy.  I generally have about a dozen Bonne Bell Lip Smackers on the go at once, and keep them conveniently spread across the house.

You might be surprised to know that I …got married when I was only 22. This summer we'll be celebrating 16 wonderful years!

My least favorite chore is …cleaning the bathrooms.

I started scrapbooking in ... 2001, shortly after the birth of my son, Justin.

My favorite thing about this hobby is ... the fact that I'm preserving our family's memories in both photos and words. A close second would be that little bit of "me time" where I get to relax and unwind at the end of the day. :)

If I were a Pebbles product I would be ...  the entire Happy Go Lucky collection. I just love it's wonderful combination of colors, as well as it's playful and lighthearted feel.

Sheri created several wonderful projects for us including this stunning layout.  Here's what Sheri had to say ... "My inspiration for this layout was the embossed sticker that I used for my title. My daughter, Shailyn, has such an amazing little personality, and is a true free spirit at heart. I love her just the way she is, and truly hope that she never changes. I chose my cardstock and patterned papers based on the colors within my photo. The gray cardstock resembles the concrete background, and the pinks, reds, greens, and blues can all be found within her outfit. The flowers, tress, butterfly and clouds all reflect her love for nature and, as well as her genuine love for life. I wanted this page to be as happy as she is."

Happy Go Lucky Buttons (747069)

Other supplies used:

Here's what Sheri had to say about her next project ... "My inspiration for this layout was the epoxy accent that I used for my title. The fairytale wording inspired everything from my color choices, to the words I chose for my journaling, as well as the feminine embellishments that I incorporated into my design. My goal was to create a very girly page, that was fit for a princess."

Other supplies used:

Here's what Sheri had to say about her next project ... "It has made me so incredibly happy, that my children have finally found that they have a friend in eachother. I wanted this layout to document that very special relationship. The cloud paper that I chose for the top portion of my page, blends in perfectly with the background of my photo. If you look closely, you can spot the blue sky just behind the trees. The dimensional sticker was perfectly fitting with the theme of my page, therefore making for the ideal title choice. I chose my patterned papers based on the colors within my photo, and incorporated a few simple accents to complete my design."


Pebbles supplies used:
Happy Go Lucky Cloud Nine (751090)

Happy Go Lucky Dimensional Stickers (732038)


And finally Sheri created this adorably sweet "thank you" card.  Here's what Sheri had to say ... "Whenever I get the chance, I like to create simple cards, just to have on hand. Often, I'll create a card with the leftovers that are sitting on my desk after designing a layout. All of the colors and patterns from the Happy Go Lucky collection work so wonderfully together, and the decorative border strips make for the perfect simple embellishment. I used one strip to separate my two main patterns, and incorporated another into the flag banner that I used for my sentiment. A simple dimensional flower accent was then added to my card for the perfect finishing touch."

I love guest designers because I love seeing a range of peoples work but I prefer it when they're not the 'big names', don't get me wrong I love the big names but I love seeing talent that I wouldn't get to see any other way :) The first layout is so cute, I love the new felties

Kelly Sas said...

So glad you are doing a Guest Designer spot a few times a week. It not only provides great inspiration but also another way to find wonderful blogs. Even though I don't do LO, I love the one where she realizes her kids are becoming each others close friend. Brings back beautiful memories of when that happened for my girls.... and it is an awesome LO!

Raechelle said...

such a great idea with the guest designers! it will showcase a wide variety of style and ideas with the product, as well as provide endless inspiration. My favorite layout is the 2nd, but they are each equally beautiful.

Rebecca said...
