Congratulations! I am going through trials and tribulations with pee pads myself, so I know how excited you must be.

This is just my guess, but when I got Thor going on pads reguarly, he suddenly started peeing all over the carpet. I think he may not have realized the difference. Then I yelled at him for going on the carpet, and he almost killed himself trying not to use the pad. So I would suggest that unless you catch her in the act, don't "punish" her for pottying on the rug, because she may get scared to do it inside at all. If you catch her in the act, move her to the pad asap.

I am going to get specially scented pads so Thor knows what to pee on. Other people get holders or use trays to distinguish them. Also, I blot each new pee pad with a bit of pee from the used one so that Thor has a marker.

Let us know how it goes! I'm still figuring it out myself, so please share any tips you have along the way.
