Guest Designer: Piradee Talvanna and a GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to introduce you to this week's Guest Designer Piradee Talvanna.  Let's get to know Piradee a little better ...

Describe yourself in 3 words ... crazy, creative, multi-tasker.

My guilty pleasure is … buying way too much scrapbooking products; especially the items that I don’t really need but you never know right? There might be that one layout or project that it would be perfect for.

You’ll never find me without … my sketchbook.  Whenever I have the chance, I’m always jotting down ideas or sketching my next layout/project.

You might be surprised to know that I … need to do something scrapping related every night for at least 15mins, otherwise I just lay tossing around in bed.  Guess you could say, it’s my way of winding down after a long day at the office.

My least favorite chore is … that’s easy, it’s cleaning up my scrapbooking area after a long weekend of scrapping (at times, you can find me creating on the floor – there just enough room; although I think it’s because I have a small table). LOL

I started scrapbooking in… I’ve always been a crafty person, but it was in 2008, when I relocated to Singapore for work that I walked into my first scrapbook store.  Needless to say, ever since then I’ve been addicted to this hobby.
 
My favorite thing about this hobby is … the creation process itself.  I love playing with all the gorgeous papers and the amazing array of embellishments that are available.  Just the idea of mixing and matching and seeing how everything all comes together… always brightens my day/mood.

If I were a Pebbles product I would be … the clear alphabet stickers (absolutely love them and the fun effect when you overlap the letters).

"One of things that I really like about Pebble collections are the mix of kraft papers and products and the Country Picnic collection is no exception. Absolutely adore the sweet colors and how everything works perfectly with the kraft pattern papers (although couldn’t resist adding in a pop of yellow from the Hip Hip Hooray collection)."

"I had a ball of the time making this layout and took my inspiration from one of the embellishment in the Hip Hip Hooray collection – the dimensional stitched circles.  From there, I added on more layering and dimensional details to the embellishments before using those circle embellishments as the focal design of my layout."

For some added fun, I made sure that all the pages with different lengths to add some variation to the mini album and also show off the various pattern papers used."
