More Traditions with Suzanne and LG

Design team member Suzanne Sergi created this stunning layout to celebrate a relatively new tradition in her family. Here’s what Suzanne had to say … “I am all about tradition with my family, and sometimes the best traditions, are new ones! Last year, was the first time, my children had seen snow. Living in Southern California, we are spoiled with beautiful weather. However, every once in awhile, I do long for the change of seasons. Last year, my friends convinced me to tread to another city, so the children could have a day of sledding! I was hesitant at first. I love living in my bubble. However, in the end, I am glad they changed my mind! The children had a wonderful day playing in the snow, sledding, and even building their first snowman. We are definitely, making this an annual tradition. We will be going again in a couple of weeks. For this page, I used the Cats & Dogs Collection. The colors and the patterns matched perfectly with my snapshot! The back of Top Dog has a pattern that reminded me of snow, so my main embellishment is a large glittered snowflake! I also dusted the white New Arrival sticker letters with glitter too! I pulled in a flower sticker from the Skipping Along collection, to embellish the center of the snowflake. Love the playfulness of the Cats & Dogs collection, and loved that it captured our new tradition perfectly!”

Now that I have a child of my own, I would like to carry on with this holiday tradition with her. With the Tree House collection, I was able to achieve a holiday look by using the classic Christmas colors, red and green.”

Design team member Jennifer Yates shared her family’s fun pre-Christmas tradition on this adorable layout. Here’s what Jennifer had to say … “Ever since my son was born back in 2004 we all go over Nana and Gramps’ house a couple of weeks before Christmas and the grandkids can open one present early! I had so many cute pictures this year that I used index size photos to display them all. I mixed some non-traditional colors to highlight the photos from the night.”

Design team member Ria Mojica shared her family’s New Year’s Eve holiday tradition. Here’s what Ria had to say … “One of our holiday traditions is to gather with family on New Year’s Eve to wait for midnight and open our presents. Then we all sit down for a huge feast called Noche Buena (Midnight Meal). I take advantage of the time before midnight to take some family pics while the kids are awake and excited to open their presents. I cut out the tree using my Slice machine and folded the spool ribbon to use as trim and positioned a few epoxy brads as the balls. I traced the bracket/journaling sheet from paper I have on-hand and cut it by hand. I found strips of doily lace in a baking supplies shop and used it to add some old-fashioned charm to my layout.”

Design team member Lisa Kisch created this festive layout to celebrate her daughters’ visit with Santa.  Here’s what Lisa had to say … “”One of my favourite traditions at Christmas is taking the girls to see Santa. It’s always a little dicey – I never know how they are going to react to the Big Guy. This year went pretty smoothly and we got a cute picture to boot! In terms of the design of this layout, I was pleasantly surprised at how well “Cats and Dogs” lends itself to the holidays. I used both patterned papers and letter stickers from that line for this project. I even used the red heart-shaped kitty tag to add my date. Then there are the red glitter candy dots – they practically scream Christmas! I mounted them on paper snowflakes and circle punches of generic red metallic wrapping paper. Have a look in your non-holiday stash to find supplies that are perfect for holiday scrapping – you might be surprised what you find!”

Design team member Anna Sigga used non-traditional holiday colors on her layout.  Here’s what Anna had to say … “Every year we go to my older daughters Kindergarten/Day-care and decorate gingerbread cookies along with all the other kids and parents. This is such a fun time and it always brings out the Christmas spirit in me and my girl. I decided to use the Twitterpated collection because it was just a perfect fit with all the colors in the photos – so it is OK to crate a layout about the holidays without using the traditional themed papers.”

Design team member Melinda Spinks has a fun holiday tradition to share with us today. Here’s what Melinda had to say … “”Every Christmas we keep up a tradition with our Postie and leave a bottle of wine in the letterbox as a little thank you for delivering our mail throughout the year and to wish him a Merry Christmas. This year I decided that I’d dress the wine bottle up with a little bottle box and tag creating a simple yet festive decoration. And although I haven’t used traditional Christmas colours or papers, the powder blue from the ‘New Arrival’ boy collection in combination with the red ribbon and candy dots still create a festive look to the gift.”

This week on the Pebbles blog we are focusing on Holiday Traditions.  Do you have certain traditions that are part of your family’s holiday celebrations?  I’ve asked some of our design team members to share with us some of their Holiday Traditions using Pebbles products.

Design team member Kim Kesti shares with us a layout about decorating a gingerbread house for the holidays!  Here’s what Kim has to say … ““What could be better (and more fun) than using Pebbles Candy Dots on a layout about gingerbread houses? Not much! I kept the layout pretty simple and put most of the emphasis on the photos and the fun border at the bottom. I love using the Candy Dots because they are self adhesive; it’s easy as pie to whip up a cute border.  Happy Holidays, everyone!”

Design team member Guiseppa Gubler created this adorable layout about her family’s Thanksgiving holiday tradition.  Here’s what Guiseppa had to say … “When I think of traditions, I think of the silly and fun things we do with family around the holidays.  The Turkey Bowl, Thanksgiving morning, has to be one of the favorite Gubler family traditions.  Football, of course, is huge on the holidays and playing football is even better.  I sometimes wonder if they would give up their Thanksgiving dinner to play football!”
