Vacay Layout with Chasing Adventures

Feb

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I am so excited to be sharing my first post with the fabulous Chasing Adventures collection by Jen Hadfield. This is such a fun collection! Perfect for capturing your adventures whatever they may be. The tropical elements in the collection were calling to me to scrap a photo from our Hawaiian vacation a few years ago.

This layout design was inspired by the washi tape in this collection. I added strips of washi tape all along one edge of a 8.5″x11″ piece of white cardstock.

I mounted my white piece of cardstock with the washi tape onto some pretty blue pattern paper that coordinated so well with my photo. A sun tucked behind my photo helps it to stand out against the busy patterns of the washi tape. The Vacay phrase sticker and palm tree from the Adventure Thickers made for the perfect title. I couldn’t resist adding those cute sunglasses from the puffy sticker pack too.

Hawaii has beautiful tropical flowers, just like these gorgeous floral die cuts I arranged opposite my title along with some wood veneer and the ‘Let’s Get Lost’ sign. I included a tag, tucked under the top of my photo, so that I could add journaling.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you’ll try creating a layout with a washi tape background too.

Hello Pebbles Fans! Terhi Koskinen here, first time of our new designing term and I’m very excited!
I know it is almost a week since Valentine’s Day, but still I want to share this pinky, hearty and very very lovely layout with you.
Maybe it can inspire you to use your left overs from the Valentine’s Day crafts, and just to be like me and use the pinks and hearts through the year. ‘Loves Me’ collection is full of patterns and embellishments that can be used all year long, not only once in February.

Sometimes starting a layout might feel tricky or even hard if you don’t have a plan or idea in your mind. If I feel lost in the beginning, one of my favorite tricks is to cut tons of paper and build a background using the small pieces. For this layout I cut several 1″x1″ sized square pieces from four different patterned papers, and adhered them neatly on white cardstock using foam dots.

Once the background was ready, the creative flow was already captured my mind completely and I didn’t struggle anymore to continue.
I glued down couple of black and white photos, to be specific the photos are copies, and started to build up the embellishments. I had the same photo available on colors too, but I think black and white photos makes the reds and pinks shine even more!

The embellishments are all from the ‘Loves Me’ collection too. I picked up some sweet ephemera pieces, and fussy cut more flowers from patterned papers. The koalas are stickers, but I also used some foam tape to adhere them, and to make them more dimensional at the same time.

Lastly I took my brand new ‘Stay Sweet’ watercolour set from American Crafts and started watercoloring the background. Red and green are complementary colors, and by adding small amount of other (green) it highlights the other (red) beautifully.

Hope your day is full of love!

Mail box with Loves Me collection

Hello everyone, it’s Lucile ! Today, I find you for my first article on the blog!

Today I would like to help you make a box to store all your cards. I wanted to make it in the form of a mailbox.

To make my box, I used cardboard (but you can use a box that you already have and cover it). I chose papers from the collection “Loves me” to cover my box. For the roof, I cut two half circles that I stuck to my box. I added an additional paper to form a round side. I also cut a slot on the front to make it look like a true mailbox. After this was complete, I decorated it with stickers and die cuts from the collection.

I wanted to reproduce the mechanism that mailboxes have on the side. So I cut a strip of cardboard that I stuck to my box and I decorated it by writing “hapy mail”

Inside my box, I created different dividers to sort my cards. I used the tab punch board to create my tabs.

Finally, I decorated tabs and I added the titles of my categories. I hope you have enjoyed this creation, I’ll see you soon for new adventures!

You have my heart LO

Hi everyone, Michelle here today sharing my very first LO as a design team member. Since it’s Valentine’s month, I decided to use the Loves Me collection for my first project. This collection is just so pretty with all the pinks and reds, just perfect for this sweet photo of my girl.

I started off this LO by cutting out a cut file from The Cut Shoppe on my Silhouette Cameo. I used white AC cardstock and backed it with pretty papers. I felt like I needed all the hearts on this page.

I recently purchased a sewing machine. I’ll be honest, I was terrified at first because I had never used one. To my surprise it’s so much easier to use than I expected! I stitched a simple line across all the hearts. I really love the effect that simple stitching added to my LO. It’s all about the details right?

My favorite thing in a paper collection is florals. I can’t get enough of them and this collection doesn’t disappoint! It is all so very pretty!

Thanks for stopping by!
