More New Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker...

Yippie! Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker has some seriously fun lines coming out this summer! Check out this new My Lil' Monster release! If this is not the cutest line ever I don't know what is...

I just love all the Cardstock Stickers...as you can tell I used a TON of them! And how adorable are those lil' monsters!

Nikki also filled a void when she created the Get Well Soon line. I don't know any other line that fit so perfectly when you want to document a sickness or injury. It was perfect for this layout about my son, Nicks , broken foot!


These all start shipping August 15th so you better start that wishlist! Don't forget to check out the blog every day there is a ton of inspiration!

Altered Acrylic Fall Sign...

I have finally made an acrylic sign for each of the seasons. Fall was the last one on my checklist so I can now mark that off...it will no longer go from summer to winter in this house, lol! I love these papers by American Crafts...perfect for fall!


I love the 12x12 Acrylic sheets so much! I have tried each of them and love everyone more than the next!


I used the new Maxxi Girl Rhinestone Swirls in brown to create the smoke coming out of the chimney...to cute! The Coral and Sage Green Pearls were the perfect accents to go with this design.


The 72 Count Baby Blue Rhinestone also matched these awesome papers perfectly! I love that Want2Scrap™ has every color rhinestones and pearls and I can always find the perfect compliment to whatever I am creating!

Now in case you have not yet heard the store is now full of all the new CHA releases, so check out all the new Nestaboard and other new products in the store before they go.

Introducing Want2Scrap™ Inchies!

Acrylic is one of my favorite products to work with. I love the versatility of it...now Want2Scrap™ has made their own Inchies...of course I started to play as soon as I got my goodies!

I used so many Want2Scrap™ products on this layout. Nestabling™ Petite Scalloped Circle , Inchies, Sage Green Pearls,
Baby Bling - Le Creme Pearls , Baby Bling Rhinestones - Turquoise, Baby Bling Rhinestones - BlueGreen, Dark Green Rhinestones - 72 Count, Rhinestone Ribbon Slides, and a Light Blue 1" Butterfly. I took this photo of my little guy Jack just a week ago and I wanted to scrap it as soon as I printed it. So sweet!


Don't you love these new Inchies! I used rub-ons on them, then added some bling. They are the perfect size for punches or stamps too.


On this one I added this Rhinestone Ribbon Slides...it was an ribbon slide but I cut out the center piece and just kept it as a heart.

Pebbles Stars and Stripes...DT Call and Reveals!!!

There is so much going on this week at the Pebbles Inc. Blog! There is the DT Call. This is an amazing team and company to represent so be sure to throw your hat in...This week is als0 reveal week. Be sure to check out...Welcome Christmas, Fresh Goods, and some new additions to the very popular New Arrival line. There lots of giveaways going on to so be sure to leave comments for your chance at some to these new lines!

Now I have a layout to share with you. I hope you all had a wonderful 4th. I did not want to leave the holiday behind without sharing a layout I created for it. Here are my guys...having some 4th of July fun!


One of my favorite things about Pebbles is how different releases work so well together. You would never know that I actually used products from 3 different lines on this layout. The embellishments from Floral Lane work great with the pattern papers of Happy Go Lucky. It certainly makes scrapping stress free to know that your products will blend so well with each other. I kept this design simple and clean to show off my adorable boys. A simple shooting star embellishment was all this needed with these star and stripped themed papers to make this layout complete and patriotic.


Thanks so much for stopping by!
