More Love Projects with Aphra and Sarah

Feb

Design team member Aphra Bolyer created this eye catching layout all about her son’s love for dirt! Here’s what Aphra had to say … “For this week’s Love Is In the Air theme, I decided to see if I could use Pebbles fabulous With Love line in a non-traditional way. When I stumbled across this photo of my son digging in the dirt, I knew I could make it work. To keep the focus of my layout on the cute picture of my son, I cut radiating strips of patterned paper. After so many different patterns, the layout didn’t need much embellishing. A couple of cute flags, tags, butterflies, and stickers.”

Theme: Love Is In The Air

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. This week on the Pebbles blog I have asked some of our design team members to create projects with a love theme just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Design team member Mandie Pierce created this love themed layout about her children. Here’s what Mandie had to say … “I love these photos of my kiddos. I took them right before we moved away from Arkansas. They represent a particular time in our life for me and hold a special place in my heart. I came across them when going through a box of un-scrapped photos. I can’t believe it has been nearly 3 years since I took the photos. And DEFINITELY can’t believe how much bigger and grown up looking my kids are now versus then. It makes my heart sad and proud all at once! “

I also cut out a word bubble from patterned paper and then placed a masking tape sticker on top.”

Free For All Friday

Happy Friday everyone! We are wrapping up the week with a few “free for all” projects from some of our design team members.

Design team member Laura Craigie created this super sweet layout about her boys using lots of goodies from our Fresh Goods collection. I love that Laura quickly created a card with the scraps from her layout. Here’s what Laura had to say … “I wanted to document the relationship between my oldest boys, and how I really hope one day they realize they could be so much more if they worked together rather than fighting. Tell me I’m not alone with fighting siblings.. ?! When I make layouts, most of the time I grab the scraps and put them to use on a card right away. I have a design already chosen and it makes the card come together in minutes. Love that!”

Design team member Wendy Sue Anderson created this beautiful love themed layout using our heart shaped clips in several ways. Here’s what Wendy had to say … “I used the shaped heart clips in several places on my layout. First, I used them to hang the banner on the top of the page. (speaking of the banner, I used the twist ties to create the flags – I love the way they can hold their shape since there is wire in the middle) Next, I used a toothpick flag as an accent and added another heart clip and flag to the stick. Finally, I added two heart shaped clips to the top of the envelope to hold it closed. My journaling about the flowers my sweet husband gave me last year for Valentine’s Day is tucked inside the cute scalloped envelope.”
