Pebbles Blog Hop & Giveaway

Welcome to Pebbles' Basics blog hop! For this hop, the Pebbles design team was challenged to create a project of their choice using the Pebbles Basics collection to show you just how versatile this line is!

Here's how today's blog hop will work...visit each blog, leave a sweet note and in some cases enter to win a Pebbles mini giveaway. Once you've stopped by each site, go back to the Pebbles blog and enter to win a collection of Pebbles Basics products worth $200 (that's a lot of product folks!).

Here's just a sampling of what my talented teammates created for their Basics projects...

For my project I created a scrapbook page of one of my favorite photos from a recent trip to Carolina Beach with Dan and Christopher.  I thought Basics was the perfect line to show it off.








When I look at this page I'm transported back to the beach and I remember gazing up at the bright colors of our umbrella, feeling the warmth of the sun, smelling the salty air and hearing the sounds of crashing waves. Isn't it amazing how an image or song can transport you back in time?

How about a little giveaway? If you would like to win a selection of Basics patterned paper, two sets of Thickers, Clothespins, Chips tags and washi tape, a $50 value, leave a comment for me by this Friday, September 6th. I'll draw and announce a winner on Saturday, September 7th.

Good luck in the drawing and thanks for participating in our hop! :)
