How To Tuesday


First things first, I have a winner to announce from last week's "Guest Designer" giveaway. Thank you all so much for your comments. And the lucky winner is ...


Congratulations! Please email your full name and mailing information (including your phone number for shipping purposes) as well as your choice of current Pebbles collection to pebblesincdt(at)gmail(dot)com and put "Guest Designer Winner" in the subject line.

Design team member Ria Mojica shares a fun way to customize some of your Pebbles embellishments.  Here's what Ria had to say ... "You don't need to be stuck with theme embellishments as it's easy to alter these to match your layout.  The pearl stick pins and spiral wire clips from The Mr. & Mrs. collection are wonderful as they are but I wanted my embellishments to be as colorful as the Floral Lane collection I used in my layout."


 Glossy surfaces are a cinch to color using alcohol inks like that found in Copic markers.



Simply choose your preferred color and re-color the areas you want to liven up



Let dry and you will have fun and colorful embellishments to match any LO! For am even fancier pearl stick pin, you may add beads or bling with a dab of dries-clear glue below the pearl.

Love this layout and how you used the border punch on both the top and bottom - also, what a fun way to re-purpose those clips - so pretty!
