Hello, Pebbles friends! My name is Tessa Buys and I am so excited to be here today! Guess what? I’m expecting a little girl in early February. While everyone else may have Halloween on the brain, it was so very nice to sit down and create for Valentine’s Day. Now that I have some cute decor and Valentines made for my kids, I won’t have to worry about it once baby arrives. And the best part about this project is that I was able to complete the entire thing on my bed, watching my favorite show, with the help of a couple of trusty We R Memory Keepers tools: the Banner Punch Board and the Alphabet Punch Board.
First of all, how adorable is the Forever Always collection? Oh my goodness, it’s the perfect Valentine’s Day line. The papers were a dream to work with and the embellishments made accessorizing a breeze. First, I cut out banner pieces using the Banner Punch Board. Super quick and easy with this tool! These particular banners are 6.5 inches tall.
Next, I used the Alphabet Punch Board to create five X’s and five O’s out of contrasting patterned papers. I assembled the banner by stringing the pennants and adhering the X’s and O’s with foam dots. To embellish, I adhered a few rosettes and several die-cuts—all attached with a little metallic gold thread tucked behind.
I love to make my kids Valentines and, while I had all these gorgeous supplies at my fingertips, I went ahead created four quick and cute cards. I adhered a 4 x 5.25 inch panel on each card. Next, I chose embellishments and sentiments, keeping in mind I wanted my three boys to get cards that weren’t too frilly, but my that my daughter would really enjoy all the pretty florals in the collection.
For the “Love You” card, I added a die-cut heart and sticker tag (complete with tied-on ribbon), then applied the “love you” Thickers. Splatters of black ink and a black and gold color palette make this one a bit more masculine for my 14-year old. My 8-year old will receive the red card, as he still loves getting X’s and O’s from his mama.
The “Hello I Love You Truly” card is going to my 13-year old. Again, the black and gold with a touch of blue is great for my guy, and the added detail of blue backing the openings of the Thickers is a nice touch that I love, even if he might not notice. The floral card is for my little girl.  I already know she will love the combo of stickers and die-cuts because she already tried raiding my product stash for these pieces!
If you need a break from Halloween creating, or maybe you just aren’t ready to dive into Christmas, go for Valentine’s Day! The Forever Always collection is so fun to work with, and you’ll feel great for being so ahead of the game! Happy creating! And thank you, Pebbles, for the chance to play with such great stuff!
I live in Sacramento, California with my husband, three boys, and little girl (with one on the way!). They’ve been the darlings of my scrapbook pages since I started a family, but I had been playing with paper and glue long before they came along. I currently design for We R Memory Keepers and Elle’s Studio. When I’m not documenting life with pretty papers and embellishments, I’m getting creative in the studio teaching dance and setting choreography on competition students. I’m obsessed with the color yellow, short hair, and floral prints. Thanks to Pebbles for the wonderful opportunity to guest design!

Guest Post: Presenting Stephanie Buice and her Fall Album!

Hi everybody! Stephanie Buice here today. I’m so excited to be a guest here at Pebbles! Guesting is always one of my favorite things to do, because it lets me try out different products that I may not get to use on the daily, kind of expands your horizons a little bit…I like it!  Thanks for having me today!
Lets get t0 the cover of this mini album I started creating, just for you guys!
Fall is definitely my favorite season, I love the changing leaves, cooler temperatures and all the cozy layers we get to start wearing again. When I started working on this album, I wanted to capture that exact feeling.  With that in mind,  I wanted to have lots of layers and mixed in textures.

For my base layer, I went with a cork pennant shape and layered a canvas piece onto it. Next, I decided to add some basket weaving layers by cutting some of my papers into 1/2″ strips and weaving them together (SO SIMPLE!).  I decided the best way for me to adhere it all down was to simple sew around a few sides of it…worked like a charm!

Next I added on another piece of cork, cut to mimic the shape of the bottom of the pennant base. I also ran it through my machine to make sure it didn’t budge.

Finally I got to my favorite part! Adding all the cute die cut pieces until I was happy with the look, I used the “Hello There” round tag and the gold Thickers as my title and accented it with some leaves, a few butterflies and an arrow underneath.
That’s about it for me today, thank you so much for having me. I hope you enjoyed my share!
-Steph

Midnight Haunting fun with our Guest blogger, Karla!

Hello! This is Karla Der. I usually blog at MadeByKarla and I publish scrapbooking process videos on my Youtube Channel by the same name.

I’m SO excited to be guest designing here on the Pebbles blog today. I got to work with the Midnight Haunting collection. I love that it’s so versatile and can be used to document both Fall and Halloween. I think it’s just the right amount of spooky, classy and cute!

Halloween isn’t very scary with a toddler, so I had struggled to find Halloween embellishments that fit my photos from last year. I finally found the right mix with Midnight Haunting. Here is one page I put together, complete with close-ups:

Winter Wonderland Layout with Mendi

Hi there!  It’s Mendi here with a couple of fun winter themed layouts using more of Pebbles darling Winter Wonderland collection.
For my first layout I knew when I saw the stickers with princesses on sleds that I had just the right photo to use with them!  I wanted to draw the viewer‘s eye through the page so I chose to position my embellishments in three different corners to form my visual triangle.
For my snowflake, I wanted to give it a little extra dimension so I cut apart a second glitter snowflake die-cut and layered it over the large snowflake with foam tape and then topped it with a circle sticker from the collection and asmall rhinestone.  After I was done I felt like my snowflake was sort of getting lost with the pale blue paper below so to give it a bit of punch I cut some navy blue paper to layer below it.  I think it made a huge difference.

For my bottom, right corner I die-cut some white cardstock to form a slope to create a little scene with the second princess & snowflake stickers.  For my pennant border along the bottom I cut various papers from the 6×6 pad and strips of washi tape (mounted onto cardstock for stablity).

For my second layout, I wanted to create a layout using photos from that same week that could stand on it’s own, but also look great next to my other page in the scrapbook album.   
 
For this layout I wanted to primarily focus on all the yummy patterns in the washi tape book.  I must say I am pretty smitten with this product!  You get so much bang for the buck with all the variety and options in one book with 6 full pages of 12″ washi tape! 

I am also loving the beautiful glittery Thickers.  Foam Thickers have always been my favorite to work with and these are absolutely gorgeous in person!  To add a little interest to my washi tape strips, I decided to stitch them on in coordinating colors of thread.

Once again, I turned to the same glitter snowflake die-cuts to form my visual triangle, mixed with some of the smaller snowflake stickers from the collection.  I had fun mixing it up with different layers including the fun puffy snowflake stickers.

I hope I’ve inspired you to pull out your own snowy pictures and scrapbook them using this pretty collection.  I had so much fun playing with all the pretty patterns!

Winter Projects with Monique

Hi everyone! It’s Monique again, sharing some more projects I created with Pebbles’ fabulous Winter Wonderland collection. For today I decided to create another layout and because planner pages are what I love to do too, I decided to decorate a couple of those too.

Let’s start with the layout I made. This time I wanted to do a layout using more than one photo (which is what I normally tend to do). The design is an easy one. I started with three vertical stips of paper in the middle of my page and arranged the photos on the right and left side of it.

Next I created this cluster:

I totally adore the large dimensional rosette and decided that would be the focal point of my page. I layered it onto one of the huge glitter die-cut snowflakes and tucked a Christmas tree under it as well:

And after adding a few more stickers, snowflakes and a few drops of color mist I was done!

Supplies:
Winter Wonderland Snowfun patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33005
Winter Wonderland Blizzard patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33006
Winter Wonderland Winter Walk patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33007
Winter Wonderland Chips Glitter Snowflakes Die-Cut Shapes SKU: PBWW-733027
Winter Wonderland Chips Ephemera w/Glitter Die-Cut Shapes SKU: PBWW-733028
Winter Wonderland Glitter Stickers Icons SKU: PBWW-733019
Winter Wonderland Paper Embellishments Rosettes SKU: PBWW-733025

Next up are my planner pages. Because the Winter Wonderland collection contains so much beautiful washi tape and so many fun stickers, it’s really perfect to decorate planner pages with!! Here’s a quick look at all the washi tape that one booklet holds: fantastic right?!

For my first week I used mainly lots of the cute snowmen:

Here are a few detail photos: did you see those awesome coffee cup stickers!

And isn’t that moose fabulous?! If you’re wondering what the word “Sint” stands for … on December the 5th we (in The Netherlands) celebrate “Sinterklaas” and Sint is short for Sinterklaas (like Santa is short for Santa Claus).

All the paper strips with the text I used were cut off the bottom of the sheets of patterned paper. It’s like those were made for this purpose!

And here’s my planner page for the next week, this time focusing on all those awesome penguins:

And two detail photos:

 

How I adore this Winter Wonderland collection!!!

Supplies:
Winter Wonderland Snowfun patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33005
Winter Wonderland Blizzard patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33006
Winter Wonderland Toasty Warm patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33010

These were the last projects I created as guest designer for Pebbles. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and hope you liked what I made. Thank you so much for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!
