Her Bookcase and Mine

Hello Pebbles fans!! For this week’s “Organization” theme I, Monique, created a layout about how my daughter and I organize our bookcases. We are both huge book lovers and it’s not enough to just read them, we want to own the books we love too. There’s just nothing better than collecting the books you love! As I’m older it makes sense that my bookcase is fuller than my daughter’s but she’s getting there! The funny thing is that while I organize my books by author, my daughter organizes her books by color. Although this way of organizing would never suit me, I really love how it looks and decided I just needed a photo and so the idea for this layout was born!

Doesn’t the bookcase on the right look much better than mine (on the left)?!

I used an older Pebbles collection to scrap this layout as I found Jen Hadfield’s Home + Made collection just perfect for these photo. When I started my page I held my photos against the different collections and chose the one that fitted best.

I love large ampersands and decided this 3″x 3″ Minc card with the ampersand needed to be included too.

However I found it needed a little embellishing and used my sewing machine to add a bit of texture:

I really like the result!

The flower stickers from the Everyday collection and the gold Thickers from American Crafts were a perfect match for both my photos and the papers. How I love all the gold details in the various Pebbles products!

I added a bit of hand written journaling and lots of machine stitiching. With a few black paint drops my layout was done!

This is it! Hope you like it!
