“This was a fun assignment, because I love flowers! When it comes to growing flowers or plants indoors, I’ve got a black thumb. But, when it comes to the great outdoors, I actually have a green thumb! Why is that? I think it’s because I get most of the help from nature. We have a few flowering trees and bushes on our property. I love watching them bloom every spring, because I get to see the proof that we did a great job planting them from newbies. I take photos of my plantings every year and I added my newest photos of them onto this layout. I used a grid style for this layout. I loved adding the layers and some punched out flowers for a ‘pocketfull of posies’ and the embellishments. I added the black ink splats for fun…no black thumb here. Ha!” – Renee Zwirek, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I normally don’t use a lot of floral embellishments, so I decided that my take on flowers week was to use a lot of floral paper! I chose a few of my favorites from the new Lakeside collection.  I punched a few flowers out and by curling and layering them together with a brad, I created my own embellishments! They go great with the floral stickers from the Lakeside line.”  – Nicole Nowosad, Pebbles Design Team Member

“You can’t go wrong with florals, when making a greeting to send to a friend.  Lakeside was the obvious choice for me, when I set out to create these happy cards.  The balance of pretty, colorful wildflowers, against the neutral tones of wood grain and chalkboard just make the flowers pop, and keep them the focus of the design!”  – Jaclyn Rench, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Anyone who knows me , knows I don’t do girl layouts very often because having 2 boys that’s what I tend to scrap LOL!….so when I was given the assignment for flowers I knew I wanted to do something other than  a layout. When I went looking through my embellishments the chipboard flowers in the chipboard set sprang out at me and I knew I wanted to use them. I found these spools in my stash and covered them in coordinating pattern papers. For the peg and straw I simply covered them in white craft glue and then sprinkled on some metallic glitter and allowed it to dry. I then  decorated each spool with photos, tags and other embellies to complete. I know have this flower set , sitting in my scrap room on a shelf, whenever I look at them they make me happy!” – Kim Jeffress, Pebbles Design Team Member

“The flowers theme was a big challenge because I’m used to scrapping more boy themed layouts.  However, the Lakeside collection made it so easy to have a a fun girly layout, but still have that boy touch. Love how this turned out.” – Patty Kumfer, Pebbles Design Team Member

“For this challenge, I chose to work with some flower pictures I saw in Vietnam. These flowers are simply gorgeous! So for this layout, I chose a simple design to highlight my pictures. I worked with the Lakeside collection which is perfect for outdoor and travel pictures!”  – Amelie Mordret, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Since little girls are so much like flowers, I knew I had to scrap this photo of Ava’s birthday party. It was held at the lake during our family reunion. Ava was thrilled to have all the little cousins at her party. I wanted flowers and birds on this layout to reflect the joyfulness of the girls.” – Kim Kesti, Pebbles Design Team Member

“If you’re a nature girl like myself and enjoy spending your weekends hiking or vacations camping, you’re going to love the Lakeside collection! The combination of wild flowers and wood grain prints combined with real wood die-cut accents is difficult to resist! Creating cards, scrapbook pages and gifts with Lakeside is almost as fun as spending time in the great outdoors!”  – Kathy Martin, Pebbles Design Team Member
