Whip It Up Wednesday


For today's post I challenged some of our design team members to "whip up" a project using Pebbles products in 30 minutes or less. Check out these fabulous projects that can be created in no time at all!

Design team Melinda Spinks created a trio of cards in under 30 minutes.  Here's what Melinda had to say ... "Oh dear, another 30 minute challenge! I really freak out when these challenges come around because it just isn't 'me' to do anything in half an hour. So, I decided that I was going to really test the scrapping skills and make three cards by using a production line method.  I drew up the designs, had the selected papers and accessories ready, and even had tools in position. For the next 30 minutes I scrapped like a madwoman and even had to fend off inquiring husband as to why things were flying in all different directions. He wasn't used to the rush or the mess as I usually tidy as I go. Well I can honestly say I did it and there wasn't a single second to spare and the biggest mess you've ever seen ... took me longer to clean up than to make the projects."

Design team member Eva Pizarro celebrated a milestone birthday on this fun layout.  Here's what Eva had to say ... "A few days ago I turned 30 and everybody was telling me how old I am! I don't think I'm old but I can definitely see that I'm not a 20-something year old anymore. This layout is about those little things that make me realize I'm getting older! To stay in the 30 minute I kept the design really simple. I used most of my time matting the patterned papers and using my corner punch. To embellish the squares I used my favorite Pebbles embellishments. They are very quick to use because they are self adhesive so you just have to remove them and attached them to your layout."
