Hello everyone! Eva Pizarro here today bringing you some back to school inspiration. My layout is not the typical layout with kid’s photos, this time I decided to scrapbook about my husband’s achievement this year: getting an MBA. I used our new line Warm & Cozy because I thought the papers were perfect for a manly layout.

Begin by layering papers behind your picture. The book pattern and the gingham seemed perfect for my theme!

Bend a little the edges of your papers and add some washi tape.

Cut some squares from the sentiment paper and adhere them to your layout.

Place your title and other words on the center of the layout.

The cooper alphas are gorgeous! I love how they shine and give a warm feeling to the layout!

The small 2×2 inch sentiments are perfect to use as embellishments. add a border or another embellishment on top and you are done!

Easy Back to School Gift

Hello Pebbles friends, Becki here.  I’m so excited to share this easy back to school gift with you. Any mom of school age children will tell you that back to school time ranks right at the top of the busiest times of year. Registrations, back to school nights, and back to school shopping are enough to make any mom run herself ragged. Today, I have an easy back to school gift to make this time of year a little bit easier. This project only took me about 5 minutes to create. Yes, I said 5 minutes. When I go shopping for school supplies I always pick up a few extra supplies to give to my children’s teachers. Today, I’ll show you how I created this cute gift with only a few supplies and 5 minutes.

I used bits of two pieces of patterned paper from the Woodland Forest collection to create a tag.

I stapled the top of the tag to create a loop and put a piece of red and white twine through the loop.  I tied the loop around a cute polka dot glitter treat bag from the Home + Made collection and tied a bow. Then, I added a few supplies to the bag. It’s that easy!

I love the 2×2 apple cut out. It’s perfect for back to school. The red and white twine adds just a bit more color to the neutral color of the bag.

Warm & Cozy Geometric Boxes and Scraps Card

Hi Pebbles friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing my take on the “geometric shape” challenge.  I took a totally different direction on the challenge, and perhaps you won’t even be able to tell that I took the challenge at all…yet.  First though, let me share these super fun little treat boxes using the “Warm & Cozy” collection, along with the Candy Box punchboard to create these boxes.  I felt like this collection was just perfect for all things “gifty” for autumn, so this combination seemed like a natural fit.  Plus, the punchboard makes kind of a geometric-ish shape, right?  Ok, I know it might be a bit of a stretch, but I love the results anyway!

I made 3 different sizes of boxes and I embellished each one with various pieces from the collection. Here’s a closer look at each of the three boxes.

And here’s a look at the punchboard I used to make them.  The directions are printed right on the box, so it’s super easy to use.

Cut the paper to 7 inches wide, and any length you want for each box.  I made one 9 inches, one 7 inches, and one 5 inches.

After cutting the paper to the desired size, just follow the step-by-step instructions to complete each box.  This is where the real “geometric” portion of my project comes into play.  You see, when you follow the steps for the box, you punch out these diamond shapes.

If you make several boxes, you’ll end up with lots of different patterned diamond shapes.  Now, it just wouldn’t be right to let these cute shapes go to waste, right?

Here’s now I used them!  I lined them up and put them on the front of a card.  How’s that for being frugal and creating something fun too?!?

Hi, Renee here to share a couple of lovely Anniversary cards I made using the Spring Fling collection.  I love the way these geometric shaped cards turned out.  I can’t wait to give them to some of my family members who are celebrating their wedding anniversaries this summer.

Here’s my first card…creating with a hexagon shape.

  1. I started with a hexagon template (each side of my hexagon measures about 3 ½” – I increased the image size 150% before printing) and a piece of blue cardstock (folded measures 6″ x 6 7/8″)
  2. I placed the template on top of my card base making sure that the card will flip up to open before I cut.
  3. I trimmed off the corners of the card.

I trimmed the Spring Fling pattern paper to 5 ¾” x 6 5/8″, trimmed the Happy Thoughts pattern paper to make a tree branch, and adhered them onto my card base.  I added machine stitching around my hexagon shaped card.

I used my Flower Punch Board to add leaves to the tree branch.  I added a flower and two owl stickers to my card.  I added a gold heart sticker and a gold “love” sentiment sticker to finish off the card.

Here’s my second card…creating with square shapes.

I started by trimming the yellow cardstock to 6″ x 12″.  I folded it in half so my card can be 6″ x 6″ square shaped.  I layered the Spring Fling pattern paper (trimmed to 5 ¾” x 5 ¾”) and the Strawberry Fields pattern paper (trimmed to 5 ¼” x 5 ¼”) and added machine stitching all around my card.

I used my Minc Machine to add Gold Foil to some flowers and added them to the bottom of the card along with some fussy cut leaves.  I added two sweet giraffe die-cuts, another gold heart sticker, and a gold “Celebrate” sentiment sticker to finish off the card.
