Free For All Friday

31
Dec
8 Comments

We’re ringing in the New Year here on the Pebbles blog with some Free For All Friday projects.  From all of us to all of you we wish you a very happy and healthy 2011!

First up I (Lynn Ghahary) created a mini fold book using this tutorial by the very talented and former Pebbles design team member Lisa Johnson.   My sister-in-law snaps monthly photos of my niece Gia in the same chair with the same stuffed animal to help document how she has grown from month to month.  I thought a mini fold book would be the perfect little place to store these photos for a quick glance at Gia’s growth during her first year (there are enough pages for her first 12 months).  My sister-in-law can easily print and paste Gia’s photos in the mini fold book and I think it will make the perfect book to add to Gia’s keepsakes.

Design team member Mimi Leinbach created this fun altered notebook to start off the New Year in style.  Here’s what Mimi had to say … “I always love the start of a new year … so much promise, so many great ideas, and a time for renewal. This year I plan on getting more organized. I actually kind of am already but a little bit more can never hurt and a cute little memo book like this makes it more fun. I love a big purse so this 5×7 memo book will fit in great and I won’t need to be searching through all my purse contents to try to find my tiny little note pad. Now when a great idea comes to me or I remember I forgot to add milk to my shopping list I can just jot it down in one place and know just where it is.”

Design team member Savitri Wilder decorated the cover of a mini book using the New Arrival Girl Dimensional Stickers.  Here’s what Savitri had to say … “I love these New Arrival Dimensional Stickers. They are so sweet and they go on cards, scrapbook pages, and mini books. I made this book for a little girl and she loved it. The inside of this book are just blank 8.5×11 card stock paper that I cut into 4.25×5.5 pieces. I could have gone with note cards but since she loves to draw I figured the blank pages would be more fun for her — and easier for me since I have a lot of white card stock ;)”

Whip It Up Wednesday

29

3 Comments

Does the aftermath of the holidays have you short on creative time?  If so then you’ll love today’s post. I challenged some of our design team members to whip up up a project in 30 minutes or less.

Design team member Laura Vegas created this holiday layout in no time at all.  Here’s what Laura had to say … “I love that the Pebbles collections have lots of basic patterns worked into their paper designs. So that when Pebbles doesn’t actually have a Christmas collection, I was able to use the Cats & Dogs collection for my Christmas layout. To make a quick and easy 30 minute layout, I started by simply adhering all my photos to my background cardstock. And then I cut some strips and blocks of pattern paper, to fill the rest of the space. The striped pattern paper had the color orange, which didn’t work on my Christmas layout. So I did some small pleats along the paper strip, folding it over to hide the orange parts. Then I simply added my sticker title, a chipboard accent, and a few candy dots to finish off the layout.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Cats & Dogs Prrrfect Stripe (751047)
Cats & Dogs Top Dog (751040)
Cats & Dogs Sassy Cat (751049)
Cats & Dogs Buddy ABC Stickers (732013)
Tree House Trunk (751034)
Spring Green Chips (744108)
Red Glitter Candy Dots (744228)
Chocolate Brown Ribbon (744027)

Other supplies used:

Staples (Tim Holtz)

Design team member Kryssi Ng created this fun layout using a watercolor effect on her background.  Here’s what Kryssi had to say … “With one of my BFFs recently engaged, I’ve been browsing wedding sites a lot lately. I came across this image, courtesy of oncewed.com, and love the soft watercolor effect swish swashes in the background and decided to emulate that in my layout. I sprayed some color from Smooch onto a silicone mat, watered it down and used a paintbrush to messily paint over my paper canvas.  I so love the rich colors in Tree House that is suitable to use in Christmas projects.”

Pebbles supplies used:
Tree House Neighbors (751031)
Tree House Fun (751035)

Other supplies used:

Design team member Stephanie Baxter created this bright and colorful “thank you” card.  Here’s what Stephanie had to say … “”With Christmas just behind us, I thought it would be a great time to start making some ‘Thank You’ cards to send to people expressing my appreciation for the lovely gifts they gave me for Christmas, and because it’s still a busy time of year catching up with friends and family, it’s good to be able to make something in not very much time at all! I love the 3×3 Cards that are part of each collection…they make it so easy to make quick cards because they have the sentiments already written on there for you, so all you have to do is just stick them down and you’re good to go! Add a ribbon and an embellishment or two, and you’ve got yourself a fabulous card.”

Today’s “How To Tuesday” post is brought to you today by Kristen Swain. Here’s what Kristen had to say “I love creating a matching card and gift wrap. I keep tins and boxes that are interesting and regift them once I’ve filled them and given them new life. Those who receive these gifts are doubly wowed, the outside is beautiful and the treats inside are yummy! I found these gorgeous cupcake shaped truffles at a store, I love that I could show them off in the tin because they are just so pretty.”  And here are Kristen’s step by step instructions …

1. Cut blocks of Twitterpated Giddy and I Love You, then stitch around outside edge of Twitterpated Giddy, adhere to card base.

2. Cut and tear corrugated cardboard, then tear off top paper of cardboard.  Adhere Twitterpated 3×3 Card at an angle.

3. Adhere chipboard flower and dot ribbon to card.

4. Layer Paper Flowers with Epoxy Brad, add journaling sticker and chipboard heart to card, then add greeting with letter stickers and finish with Candy Dots.

1. Fill tin with treats, then tape sides and tie ribbon around tin with bow topper.

2. Cut strip of Twitterpated Giddy, wrap around tin, and hold in place with ribbon.

3. Add journaling sticker, Paper Flower with epoxy brad and letter stickers to tin, finish with Candy Dots.

Design team member Eva Pizarro mixed and matched lots of Pebbles goodies on her stunning layout.  Here’s what Eva had to say … “For this layout I used different collections combining greens, pinks and yellows. I love the versatility of the themed lines – the papers and embellishments can be used for all kind of layouts! The Stackers were perfect for my hidden journaling because they embellished my journaling but they didn’t add bulk underneath the picture.”
