Are you ready to gear up for teacher appreciation? While you may not have

Teacher Appreciation

Hello everyone! Nina here to share a teacher’s gift idea: a classroom decoration.

I used the glitter foam thickers to spell the teacher’s name and lots of cardstock shapes and embellishments to create the flower frame.

Add some critters here and there for more visual interest.

I used two cardstock shape packs but I didn’t need to worry about the color harmony because they are all from the Garden Party collection and are designed to work together.

I hope that Mrs. Riley will enjoy this floral frame decoration!

You can find more step photos on how I made this classroom decoration on my blog.

I love that it can be easily altered for some other home decoration projects too!

Thank you for stopping by. Happy Crafting!

Teacher Appreciation

Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing with you a DIY Supply Holder and Magnets perfect for Teacher Appreciation Week made out of thePebbles Garden Party collection.

I chose to use the bee and honeycomb patterned papers in the collection since teachers really are “Busy as Bees.”

For the base of the supply holder, I recycled a soup can and made DIY magnets out of bottle caps by adhering 1 inch circles cut out of patterned paper to the inside of the bottle caps then gluing the caps on to magnets.

Easter Scrapbook Layout

Who doesn’t love a fun, themed collection? They’re always so fun to work with. It’s a bit more of a creative challenge though when you repurpose a themed collection and use it in a new way. Take for instance the way Suzanna Lee has taken our Special Delivery line and used it to create an Easter scrapbook layout.

Repurposing Themed CollectionsThe Special Delivery Girl collection has such lovely soft colors with a bright spark here and there to pull you in. It’s just darling for baby girls. Or Easter bunnies! My baby girl is 7 now, she’s really not much of a baby. But doesn’t preclude me from using this collection! The colors and certain elements are just the thing for this Easter themed layout.

Easter scrapbook layout created by @SuzannaLee72 using @PebblesInc #SpecialDeliver collection #scrapbooking #pebblesincDon’t be afraid to re-purpose themed collections. Scan through the embellishments and you will always find some that are generic, more support to the central theme. Those are the embellishments and papers that will become central to your re-purposed theme and creation. For example, the rabbit and flowers that I used here.

Easter scrapbook layout created by @SuzannaLee72 using @PebblesInc #SpecialDeliver collection #scrapbooking #pebblesincEven embellishments that clearly are particular to the theme can be multi-purposed. It’s very clear when you think about it that “Hello world” and “Girl” are from a baby collection when you see it with the whole collection and all the cutesy baby sayings and classic symbols of baby (safety pins, rubber ducks, etc) but they don’t look out of place here, on an Easter layout. Think outside of the box; how else can you use things?

Easter scrapbook layout created by @SuzannaLee72 using @PebblesInc #SpecialDeliver collection #scrapbooking #pebblesincDon’t be afraid to pull things apart, cover them or the part that is clearly irrelevant as you try to re-purpose either. That little green washi tape looking bit anchoring the journaling tag down is the top of the “Hello world” banner. It was too long for the spot I wanted the banner so I trimmed it to fit. The left over was perfect as a pseudo-washi don’t you think?

EasterRepurpose_Close3_SuzannaLeeDon’t be afraid to use a themed collection if it’s not relevant to you for another purpose! I had another example of re-purposing up on my blog earlier this month. I used the Pebbles Americana collection, a very patriotic, red, white and blue collection to document a swimming event. You can find it HERE if you’re interested.

Supplies:

Special Delivery Die Cuts
Special Delivery Journal Cards
Special Delivery Paper Clips
Special Delivery 6×6 Paper Pad
Special Delivery Photo Overlays
Special Delivery Patterned Paper

Wendy Sue Anderson is sharing a little Project Life inspired photo pocket page scrapbooking for Easter today.

#ProjectLife inspired scrapbook layout created by @WendySue #scrapbooking

I love using pocket pages for scrapbooking big events where I take a lot of photographs.  I usually take a lot (sometimes way too many) photos on holidays – such as Easter.

#ProjectLife inspired scrapbook layout created by @WendySue #scrapbooking

I had a whole stack of pictures from Easter morning so I picked a handful and started filling pockets.  The remaining pockets, I filled with fun cards and a few little embellishments.  Pocket pages are the perfect way to include lots of photos and still be as creative as you want to be!

* Tip: Usually you’ll find pastels and soft colors in spring and Easter collections – but, as you can see, my photos did not include soft colors or pastels – so I opted to step out of the traditional box and use some fun, bright colors to scrapbook these photos!

Supplies:
Project Life, Honey Edition (380039)
Journaling Pen
Pebbles Phrase Cards (732542)
Pebbles Candy Dots (744240)
American Crafts Thickets (journal) (53339)

Do you remember putting on your Easter best? What a sweet moment to capture! Check out Renee Zwirek’s bright and cheery Easter scrapbook layout.

Easter is just around the corner. Celebrating the holiday with family, decorating eggs and sharing them, eating lots of candy, and having egg hunts. A wonderful day! I made an Easter layout that actually has nothing to do with any of those fun activities. Instead, I made a layout with photos from a spring photo session with a very two-year-old, Payton. This kid cracks me up. Oh sure, she’s a little sweetheart. But, you can see her little stinker side here.

I used lots of items from the Garden Party collection for my layering. Pattern papers, a printed bag, stickers, tags, and my favorite…flowers! And, how great do these colors look with my photos?! It’s a perfect match. I get so excited about things like that. I added a hippity hoppity bunny just for fun.

Normally, I don’t like to use my handwriting on my projects (I prefer a pretty computer font). But, I thought it would be a nice change here and the girls can enjoy it (my trademark smiley face).

I added another fun photo of Payton inside the printed bag. Of course, I used a flower sticker as the pull tab for easy access to it.
