A lovely layout with Guest, Caroli

Hello everyone! Caroli Schulz here, I am very excited and thankful for this opportunity to be a guest designer for Pebbles. 
Today I want to share a simple layout I created using the beautiful Along the Way collection by Jen Hadfield. I love the colors and patterns of this collection, as well as the sweet and feminine details. It was perfect for using few pics of myself I’ve been hoarding for some time, waiting for the right collection. 
In this layout, I went for a really clean and simple approach, but with few pretty details in order to make it special. My idea was to create some kind of wreath, and include half-cut circles on it. To start, I drew a few half circles on my page.

@papelisima is a wiz with die cuts and layers - we love how she transformed her white layout to a beautiful masterpiece with the @pebblesinc products!

Next, I used a cutter to actually cut the shapes I drew before; if you have an electronic cutting machine you can use it too for this purpose.

Now that all the halves of circles are cut, we will use a scoring tool and fold them; this way, we will have some kind of windows that can be filled with photos or patterned paper.

With this base, I created a layout with a wreath design, using some leaves I cut with my electronic cutting machine.

As a focal point, I created two embellishments clusters on the top left and bottom right of the page. I like to keep things balanced and symmetric.  Here you can see I filled one of the windows with a photo and used the sewing machine to stitch over it and add an extra detail to the cluster.

On the bottom cluster I also added a round shaped photo, and some more embellishments. Fussy cutting is my fave technique when it comes to embellishing, so I cut few flowers from the gorgeous patterned papers of this line.

I love simple pages but with lot of texture and volume, and this is exactly what I did here. The page looks fun but not overwhelming, don’t you think? I love the gold accents on the 3D embellishments of the Along The Way collection. 
I completed the design with the title I cut with my electronic cutting machine and free font “Better Together” (you can download it from free on the internet), and my journaling. Something I love about scrapbooking, in addition to photos, is to journal about the specific memory i am documenting, so my pages always have lots of journaling

I really enjoyed working with Pebbles and hope you liked this idea and give it a try. If you have any questions, just let me know on a comment, or message me through my Instagram account @papelisima.

Thank you for spending time with us here, have a lovely day!

Capturing life along the way with Guest, Natalie

Hi friends! I am Natalie Dill and I’m THRILLED to be guest designing for Pebbles today!

I used the lovely new collection from Jen Hadfield called Along the Way to create this 8.5×11 layout about my sweet puppy girl.

@scrappinhappy we love all the elements you added to this darling page featuring your fur baby! Thanks for being a guest at @pebblesinc!

The base kraft paper is actually from the Pebbles Cozy & Bright 12×12 paper pad. I sewed it to a white background paper using a zig zag border stitch. The 6×8 Along the Way patterned paper pad is perfection when creating an 8.5×11 layout! Cutting lengths of the patterned paper down the 8 inch side in different widths built my middle layer strip. I used a lacy paper punch for the border strip on that yummy pink piece, and I popped up my photo with some adhesive foam for added dimension.

@scrappinhappy we love all the elements you added to this darling page featuring your fur baby! Thanks for being a guest at @pebblesinc!

I picked some of my favorite ephemera pieces from the icon and phrases packs to embellish, and I chose pieces with black on each to tie them together from top to bottom.

@scrappinhappy we love all the elements you added to this darling page featuring your fur baby! Thanks for being a guest at @pebblesinc!

I love allowing a bit of the die cut to come off the page. It will stick out the protector a bit, but adds great interest! I used some gold and black sprays for splatter and a gold wax seal for mixed media embellishing. 

@scrappinhappy we love all the elements you added to this darling page featuring your fur baby! Thanks for being a guest at @pebblesinc!

I loved using this soft, homey collection to document my dog in her napping element. The sentiments are great for documenting your home life and cozy moments!

Thanks for having me, Pebbles!

A Mini Calendar with Our Guest, Lucile

Hello Pebbles friends, I am very happy to present you my first tutorial on this blog. It is for a mini calendar – perfect at the beginning of the year, right?

@dejolieschoses18 is on the blog with us today- and her calendar tutorial is too cute for words! @pebblesinc is blessed by her creativity!

The first step is to cut three pieces of cardboard according to the diagram below and assemble them to form the base.

Then we will have to create our pages for the inside of the calendar. You can do it yourself with a word processor or print the file I made.

To assemble my calendar, I used my cinch but you can do it using two classic rings.

To decorate my pages, I stuck a circle in the center and I added decorations. I used several collections to match each month.

A day in the life with Guest Designer, Anna

I’m Anna Edman, one of the January Guest Designers. Today I’ll show you a layout made with some 6” papers and ephemera from the collection My Bright Life.

@mavvek makes beautiful layouts with @pebblesinc paper, don't you think?? Love the layers!

I often start my process by picking some papers and embellishments that match the photo. In the end, some things may not be used and something else has appeared. As my son was in the kitchen, I had to use the cute paper with kitchen utensils.

I trimmed down the patterned papers to the size I wanted to have and placed the ephemera pieces. The placement of the ephemera is a ongoing process and I adjust them until they are adhered.

I adhered the papers and did some machine stitching on them to get some texture. After that, I adhered the ephemera and the title, Doris, which is the name of the dog.

I like to build up layers and add some more texture to my projects, so I often adhere some pieces with foam tape and add some sewing thread underneath.
