More American Crafts/Pebbles Product Swap Projects plus a GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone!  Today we are rounding up our fun week of projects featuring both Pebbles and American Crafts products.  I really hope you enjoyed all of the projects on the blog this week and feel inspired to mix and match these two wonderful companies' products on one of your future projects - be sure to let us know if you do!  We'd love to see what you create!  And of course don't forget that we'll be giving away a prize package filled with all sorts of Pebbles and American Crafts goodies.  See the end of this post for details!

First up I (Lynn Ghahary) created a layout featuring pictures of my cutie patootie niece Gia.  I used my die cut machine to cut the sun and cloud and added lots and lots of embellishments from both Pebbles and American Crafts.  This layout came together so easily having twice as many products to choose from!

Design team member Kristen Swain made this stunning trio of tags.  Here's what Kristen had to say ... "Oh my,  I totally fell in love with this Peachy Keen collection from American Crafts. I paired a couple of the peach papers with some lovely woodgrain paper from Campy trails, then added other pastel colors to make this set of sweet spring tags. Add them to a card blank for a quick card, or dress up a gift, they are too pretty to hide away. I punched extra holes in the Peachy Keen tags and wrapped my twine around my tags, and tied on the tags this way."

Design team member Natalie Dever created this adorable birthday card.  Here's what Natalie had to say ... "The American Crafts Confetti collection matches perfectly with several of the Pebbles Layered Embellishments!"

Design team member Savitri Wilder created this clean and simple scrapbook layout.  Here's what Savitri had to say ... "This was so fun! I've always loved American Crafts products and to do a swap gave me a wonderful opportunity to play around with some new American Crafts goodies! Thanks American Crafts and Pebbles for arranging this! As for my project ... I love this picture of our little girl. It was a casual shot that I took while we went for walk after school. She was still in her uniform too! Since I wanted to really highlight the photo I went for a clean and simple take on this layout. There were so many paper options to choose from but the Peachy Keen line were perfect for the photograph. I finally settled on this yellow one because while it's still neutral and soft there's a tad bit pop of color which made the layout girlie and fun. I added a few awesome embellishments from different lines and voila. Now, not only do I love this photo I LOVE the layout it's in."

Design team member Jennifer Yates created this bright and cheerful layout featuring her adorable nephew - isn't he a cutie?!?  Here's what Jennifer had to say ... "I took these photos of sweet nephew Jackson when he turned 9 months old.  So this was a fun and easy layout to create!  The faces he gave me while I was taking the photos were priceless! I loved the woodgrain papers from American Crafts ... they partnered so well with the lime green and orange colors from Pebbles!"

Amanda Johnson said...

Wonderful projects!! I have loved all the inspiration this week!!! I hope to get in some scrapping Sat, and possibly go to my LSS's crop, or do a couple online, really depends on the weather for me. If its nice we will be at the baseball field.

Love all those gorgeous creations. On National Scrapbooking day I will be scrapbooking most likely. That's what I do mostly every day when I'm not stuck at work. Also planning to see my mum for an early mother's day visit.

Romy said...

What an amazing giveaway. Needless to say I'd loooove to win it! Unfortunately no scrapbooking for me on NSD, however I really wish I could get any scrapbooking done. But my exams start in almost 1 week, so for me it's learning, learning and more learning the next couple of weeks:(

Ann said...

My plans for NSD will depend on weather. If it's nice, I have to get into my yard and do a cleanup. If it's not nice, I'll try to take a few hours at the scrappy table to make a Mom's day card and then do a few layouts for NSD challenges on a couple of boards I'm on. This giveaway is phenomenal - thanks for the opportunity to enter. Have a super NSD!

I'll be blog hopping, doing some digital designing and digital machine cutting today in preparation for some canning activities. I'm doing gifts in jars this year and acid etching the jars to match my tags. "Scrapping" has branched out into many hybrid projects and the tools for such. Scapping supplies are much need elements, of course.
