Hey everyone! Today we are focusing on one of my favorite Pebbles products ... Brads! Pebbles Brads add the perfect pop of extra color, texture and depth to any project. There are lots of cordinating styles to choose from including Epoxy, Glitter Flower, and Fabric.
Design team member Deena Wuest created this adorable card using Pebbles Brads as the center of attention. Here's what Deena had to say ... "Short on time but love the sentiment behind handmade cards? Let the power of simplicity speak volumes by taking one or two items and using repetition to create a strong (and speedy) design. Apply Duplicate Rub Ons to uniform patterned paper blocks and tack them onto your card with fun Pebbles Brads. Curling the bottom of each paper block adds a
bit of dimension and creates an informal feel. Quick. Easy. Done!"

Design team member Kim Kesti created this fun and colorful layout using the Paper Flowers from the Happy Go Lucky collection (each has a rhinestone brad center) along with some Fabric Brads as well. Here's what Kim had to say ... "I just adore the unique brads that Pebbles has, especially those in the Happy Go Lucky collection. I wanted to create an “artsy” vibe on my layout all about our visit to the Children’s Art Museum, so I let the pretty paper, fabric and glass-like brads take center stage. So much fun!”

Design team member Ria Mojica shows us how to take Pebbles Brads "off the page" and use them to create adorable hair accessories. Here's what Ria had to say ... "For this week, I decided to do an easy craft ... hair accessories using Pebbles Brads! The Pebbles Brads come in a wide variety of shapes, colors and textures. Some of them are so pretty that I wanted to show them off. I simply hot glued the brads onto a plain headband or clip and voila! Cute and one-of-a-kind hair accessories that my girls are fighting over!"

WOW...love these projects! I soo want to make those barrettes and headband.
Those brads would be perfect for my god daughter's 2nd birthday! I'll be making her a ton of goodies!
I use brads a lot to be the center of different types of flowers on my scrapbook layouts.
I use them as buttons for clothing or snowmen or even Santa as well as sprinkles on cupcakes and they are calorie free lol
I love using brads in the center of flowers and in polka dots. Would love to win these gorgeous brads!!
These projects using brads are awesome! If I would use the Pebbles brads as flower centers or as accents on pages or cards...this summer, I've use them for several "splash" accents, and those heart brass would be great for a "heartfelt" or "I love you" card.
Pebbles Brads are the best! They make great flower centers.
Sigh, I am in love with the cabochons! I would use the brads in flowers--probably on scrapbook layouts--that way I get to hang onto them! :-) Thanks!
I love brads. I like using them on LO's and cards for that little extra something. They add such a nice touch!! Beautiful projects!!!
well I am a card maker so I would use them on my cards. I just love brads..they had something special to cards..
super cute ideas... totally going to have to do some hair pieces!! that looks like fun to me :)
Love the headband...super cute!
I would love to make hair accessories or the brad as a center in a flower for my embellished cardigans.
Yummylicious! I love those brads!
If they were edible I would eat them, cause I'm sure they would taste good if they were, they´re so yummy. But since they're probably a bit hard on the teeth I'd use them on LO's or perhaps in sewing projects to accent totes and bags :)
I love brads. I use them on everything... I even used them in my hair for my wedding. They were pearls and worked perfectly! I would use Pebbles brads on my scrapbook pages. I like to use them as accents, 3 or 5 as a photo corner, to frame a page, a vertical line as a flower stem... oh how I love brads.
I use brads all the time on my layouts and cards! These brads are adorable. I love the hearts.
I would use some of your brads to make some fun cards. Love all the cute ideas to use them!
I am such a brad girl. My friend calls me the queen of brads. I don't have any Pebbles ones though. Looks like I need to add to my collection :)
I LOVE brads!! I love using them as flower centers!! Thanks for the chance to win!

I've been all about making cute hair flowers- and pebbles brads would be GREAT centers!!
I like to use them as flower centers, but that's nothing new!
I use them for many things, but this pack I would use to make hair clips and headbands for my niece!
I've love the brads and I would use them in the center of some great felt flowers! Fun stuff!
I love brads-
I use them as accents where ever i can fit them in on my page
Love these ideas!
Those brads are so cute!
I love the clip idea--clips can be so expensive--it would be fun to have custom made ones and easy to do with those cute brads!
I love adding them to layouts and cards. :)
I use them in clusters and also accentuate my titles with them; ie- using a brad to dot an "i"
Wow - so many great ideas! Thanks for the inspiration :) I love using brads on my layouts, I usually have to put at least one at everything I make :)
