Next on the list, Pebbles, who make those candy dots embellishments I love so!

They added these crystal dots to that line up, for lots of sparkle in a tiny little embellishment – just peel and stick to your layering for that finishing touch. But don’t worry – there is plenty of paper on offer too!

Hip Hip Hooray is shipping now (and it’s available as of today at Two Peas!) Summery party colours abound. In fact, looking at these pictures are a bit of an antidote to the snow falling outside my window.

Many of the papers have these small repeating patterns making them great additions to your stash (something Glitter Girl discussed this week, by the way!)
(Apologies for the shadow – busy busy in this booth!)

Let it Ring is a patriotic American collection shipping in late April. Stars and stripes abound, but the lettering is something we might use the world over!

Love the idea of printing a collection like this on kraft (something we’re seeing more of from various manufacturers), and the paper rosettes are so very election-year, right? And actually some of those papers needn’t be specifically USA, should you need a good navy or red for a less-specific theme.

After coincidentally spending the last two July fourths stateside after a great many years without such an event, I think I shall be here in London for the day of Yankee Independence for 2012 – but that star garland actually makes me tempted to throw some sort of party. Pre-olympics, perhaps?

Country Picnic is also hitting stores right now, with plenty of soft spring florals in the traditional Pebbles style.

CHA Winter 2012 :: Pebbles
Something a little different in the lettering: a corrugated alphabet in several colours. I don’t always like corrugated card but this was small enough that it looked quite nice! (Find both lettering styles here should they take your fancy!)

Lots of green and pink and dots and flowers. Love this updated look at the classic Pebbles designs. (Did you know Pebbles is one of the oldest companies in the scrapbooking industry? Yep! Years ago we knew them by the much longer name ‘Pebbles in my Pocket’ and they were abbreviated as PIMP on message boards! They still have a retail store in Orem, Utah.)

The addition of handwriting to the embellishments and stamps is quite sweet.

Some inspiration for a Valentine bouquet? (Someone teach The Boy to make paper flowers, quick!)

But the best bit is two of the lines are already shipping to stores, so this is one that won’t make you wait! Click here to shop for Pebbles products, including the new Hip Hip Hooray and Country Picnic collections, plus more than 150 products on sale.

(And by the way, American Crafts Gardenia from the post a few days ago is now available too. Happy shopping!)
