Canada Day Pool Party

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share using the Oh Summertime collection. This fun summer collection is absolutely perfect for all your summer photos.

Canada Day is coming up in a few days so I decided to create a LO using these sweet photos of my son on Canada Day when he was just in kindergarten. Cherish every moment because time goes by so very fast!

I used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe and just backed some of the pieces with red pattern paper. I then stitched the cut file into place.

See this adorable flamingo? It has sequins that move when you shake it. I love these shaker stickers, they are so much fun!

There is so much ephemera in this collection, it was hard to just choose a few pieces for my LO!

Thanks for stopping by!

USS Missouri

Hello Pebbles friends. Marcia here today kicking off patriotic week at Pebbles. I pulled lots of red, white, and blue pattern papers from the Oh Summertime, Chasing Adventures, and Big Top Dreams collections and created a layout about a visit to the USS Missouri battleship in Pearl Harbor Hawaii. Because I had little in the way of patriotic embellishments, I wanted to make the pattern papers work for me by using a digital cut file I designed myself and creating a fun banner with the Jen Hadfield Banner Punch Board.

That dark blue pattern paper makes a bold statement as my background with the die cut stars don’t you think. To add dimension, I created a festive banner with my Banner Punch Board. I machine stitched these triangles together. I made it a little easier to work with the banner.

Other embellishments were kept to a minimum. The ship in a bottle from the Chasing Adventures collection was the perfect touch, layered on top of a tag.

I used some older Thickers I had in my stash for my title and added a few journaling strips below my banner.

There is a lot you can do with just your pattern papers and the right tools! Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Supplies:
Chasing Adventures Collection – papers and ephemera

Selfie mini album !

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! I do not know if you know but today we are the national selfie day ! So I present you a new mini album in which you will find photos of an event happening in my city but especially our most beautiful selfies.
To match the selfie theme I wanted to make an album in the shape of a mobile phone. I reproduced the details of my phone in sewing and I added a transparent sheet to replace the screen.

To make this double page I drew an octopus that I cut into a paper from the Oh summertime collection. I stuck it and I sewed the outlines so that it comes out better on my background paper. I cut white circles with a hole punch to reproduce the tentacles. Then I matted my photo and I added stickers. Finally I added my journaling. I used my typewriter.

For the next page, I wanted to reproduce a seascape. I started by cutting strips of paper to reproduce the sea. I added seam to bring out my waves. I stuck my picture. Then, I cut some elements in papers of the collection to finalize my seascape and I added my journaling.

To be able to paste several photos on a page I created a waterfall. I love this effect, it gives a playful side to the albums. I inserted pages of tracing paper into my album to create windows. I added some sewing to put my picture in value.

For the next page I wanted to create a fish scale effect page. For this, I cut circles with a hole punch. I cut them in half and sewn on my page. Finally, I stuck my picture on the top of my page.

I hope you enjoy this mini album and I wait for your best selfie, see you soon!

Oh Summertime collection on Repeat with Guest Designer Leanne Allinson

We recently invited Leanne to prepare a guest designer post – and she accepted! We are blessed! Here is her blog post – hope you enjoy!

Hey Pebbles Friends! It’s Leanne Allinson here today popping in as a guest designer on the Pebbles blog! I am so excited to be back for a little while and to share with you the awesome new Oh Summertime collection!

Guest Blogger @leanne_allinson is on the blog with 3 fabulous summertime layouts!

I absolutely adore the fun, bold summery flavour of this collection and how it is versatile enough for either feminine or masculine layouts.

Guest Blogger @leanne_allinson is on the blog with 3 fabulous summertime layouts!

I also love layering patterned papers and the easiest way to create a statement is with repetition. Each layout shared today has one element in particular that showcases this technique.

On the first layout “Ice-Cream Breakfast” I have cut and created my own chevron pattern using the mini paper pad.

Guest Blogger @leanne_allinson is on the blog with 3 fabulous summertime layouts!

This pattern has been has been made with multiple 1” right angled triangles. To achieve a straight pattern across the page, with evenly spaced gaps between rows, simply line up the straight edge of the triangle with your background paper or cardstock layer.

To complete the layout, add a few layers of embellishment or ephemera paper pieces above and below the photo. The title work has also been die cut from the mini paper pad.

For the second layout, the element on repeat is the humble circle. Even the title card “Summertime” has rounded edges!

To recreate a similar layout, trim your two background patterned papers/cardstock to size with the top layer having a large circle cut from the middle. Hand stitch a row of embroidery thread around the outside edge to help secure it in place.

Using the We R Memory Keepers confetti punch, select coordinating papers and adhere the mini circles in the “window” between the two backgrounds. By adding circular paper ephemera, the circle motive is subtly enhanced.

Complete the summery feel to the layout by adding your own sunburst strips of paper to the cardstock layer.

On my final layout, “Really Kid?” the repetition is a lot more subtle. Check out the stripes!

Once it is pointed out, the technique becomes quite obvious! Even the paper ephemera pieces have got in on the act with offering clues.

Finally add journaling paper strips to complete the page.
