Hi Pebbles Fans! Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing a quick and simple DIY Movie Theater Gift Basket made from the Pebbles Inc. Cottage Living collection. This simple gift basket is the perfect gift idea when you need to make a quick weekend gift.

Movie Theater Gift Box by @ribbonsandglue made with @pebblesinc Cottage Living collection.  Such a simple, easy gift great for anyone!

The gift basket contains popcorn, candy and movie gift cards which gives the recipient a choice to stay home and rent a movie or actually catch a movie on the big screen.  Of course, I’m not endorsing that you bring the candy in the box into the movie theaters, but I won’t tell if you do!

The Cottage Living papers and embellishments really made this gift basket a quick and easy project to assemble! I wrapped the candy with a 1 -1/2 inch belly band around the middle which is held  together with gold circle stickers.

The “hello” hang tag is made from a gold dipped tag and embellished with 6×6 patterned paper and a puffy phrase sticker.

The movie theater gift cards are stuck inside a cute mini kraft pocket tag and embellished with a paper flower.

The outside of the gift basket is decorated with more gold circle dots, flowers, a gold metal clip and a jumbo gold paperclip which gives the impression that this Movie Theater Gift Box took a lot of time to make but really the only thing that  took the most time was waiting in line to purchase the gift cards and candy! 😉

Garden Gift Containers

Happy April! Amanda here today with a quick and easy gift for the green thumbs in your life. Hopefully most of you have dug your way out of the snow by now and are ready to get your garden going. Share the garden love with your friends and family by giving a garden-themed gift container.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionGarden gift containers are inexpensive and come together in a snap. Start with a cute container, your favorite Pebbles patterned paper, and some seeds. For added gift giving flair, add a hand tool (or two) and a pair of garden gloves. This little watering can is super adorable, but an upcycled tin can would be just as lovely (and earth friendly).

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionCreating a theme for the garden gift containers makes it extra fun. Gather seeds that make a fun collection such as salad, salsa, or an herb garden. Embellish the seed packets with a cute label and pretty garden-themed sticker.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionMake a cute garden label by fussy cutting one of the frames from the Gallery Wall paper from the Cottage Living collection. If your handwriting stinks like mine does, choose your favorite font and print directly on the labels.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionI wrapped the container with paper ribbon from the Happy Day collection and tied a pretty bow with jute baker’s twine.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionThe 3×4″ Picture Punch from We R Memory Keepers is perfect for creating seed packets. No measuring and no cutting makes creating seed packets super easy. Choose your favorite patterned papers and punch away! Each seed packet requires only two 3×4″ cards.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionCreate the seed packets by stapling two 3×4″ cards together at the top and bottom. Next, fold the seed packet in half and tuck in between the paper.  No fuss whatsoever.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionChoose a cute font and print labels on patterned paper. Die cut the labels using this cute banner die from the Cottage Living collection. Adhere the labels to the seed packets and add a cute sticker.

Garden Gift Containers by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionIn an even bigger crunch for time, or have a lot of gifts to make?  Simply put a few seed packets into a small bucket  (shredded paper optional) and add a label.  Quick, easy, and sure to bring a smile! Happy planting!

Garden Scrapbooking Layouts

Hello, Renee here today to share a couple of garden scrapbooking layouts with one of them having a short step-by-step tutorial.  The layouts are not about gardening itself, but they are garden inspired.  I used a combination of items from the Jen Hadfield’s Cottage Living and Home+Made, Happy Day, and Home Grown collections.

I was inspired by this image of a garden quote I found on Pinterest

Leave Room in Your Garden Layout

I love how this layout turned out!  I used this adorable photo I took of Payton in her Tinkerbell costume from when she was three years old.  I took the quote from the inspired image and put it directly onto the page.

I started by placing the Cottage Living Hardwood pattern paper in a box.  I sprayed and splattered the Cottage Living Gold Glitter Color Mist around the page and focused it more around the spot where my photo would be.

My photo measures almost 4 ½” x 6 ½”.  I used the center line on the Cottage Living Hardwood pattern paper to center my photo and placed it a ½ inch from the top of the paper.  I lined up the Cottage Living Imprint Thickers onto my page by first arranging them on a ruler and then centering them again on the paper.  The design of this pattern paper really did help me to center my photo and quote.  The last line of the quote is a ½ inch from the bottom of the paper.

I fussy cut flowers from the Happy Day Garden Walk pattern paper.  The colors just worked so well with this photo.  I sprinkled some Happy Day Epoxy Stickers around the page.  I love the colors of these enamel dots!

How cute is this garden gnome sticker?!

I love this quote.  I love these Imprint Thickers!

I love the sparkle and shine on this page from the Gold Glitter Color Mist and the Thickers!

I love this sweet little garden scene under the glass dome sticker.  It’s so cute!

Love & Be Kind Layout

Since I had more photos of Payton in her Tinkerbell costume and couldn’t decide on which photo I loved more.  So, I just made another layout!  Ha!  I really love how this one turned out, too.  A pretty little fairy playing outside in the garden.

I took six photos and placed them in a grid.  Each photo measures about 2.75″ x 2.75″.  I layered the Cottage Living Spring Meadow and Cottage Living Delightful Dots pattern papers.  I added the “love” heart and “be kind” hexagon to the grid cut from the Sweet Greetings journaling cards pattern paper.

I added machine stitching around my photo grid and a few fussy cut flowers from the Cottage Living Floral Tapestry pattern paper.

I hand stitched the buzzing from this cute little bee sticker.
