The last 2 weeks over at the Pebbles Blog featured the entire design team putting together quick gifts and simple projects. Tis the season for being pulled in many different directions and having lots of obligations so the team wanted to make it simple as well!
For the first week I pulled together a very quick coaster set:
I made this from an old Making Memories coaster set I got a few years ago. Like many projects, it sat in a closet and got moved 3 times before I got it down and did something with it! I always have good intentions, but sometimes those intentions don't get the follow through they deserve! Obviously this is a super simple project using Pebbles papers, some home quotes and pretty ribbon to tie it all up. This will actually be a gift to myself to put in our new sunporch once the renovations are done next month. Can't wait!
The following week I limited myself to 30 minutes and made a card. This was a challenge because 1) I'm SO not a card maker, and 2) for some reason even my most simple projects seem to take F.O.R.E.V.E.R. I'm easily distracted and get hung up on tiny details! I love a good grid design and decided that would be the easiest and most simple way to make this card:
So far, so good on the winter break homefront with the 2 tiny drama queens. This afternoon is off to buy Daddy his Christmas gifts from the girls, which sometimes proves to be interesting! They normally default to underwear because they think it's hilarious. And really, buying underwear at any age can be laughable! But I've put them on a "no underwear" restraint so let's see what they come up with! After that we will be in the kitchen making some lovely Rice Krispy Treat houses. We tried the gingerbread house once, but it was way messier than even I dreamed, and we are just not gingerbread eaters over here. Put some krispy cereal and marshmallowy goodness in front of us and we're all over it!!
