Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project to share using the new Lovely Moments collection. My daughter just celebrated her one year anniversary with her boyfriend. They are so cute and so in love. I made this little sign for her!

This was actually a cheap little welcome sign I got at the dollar store. I started by covering it with paper. I also had these cute little clothespin in my stash, I have no idea where they came from but they were perfect for hanging the little polaroid prints.

I covered the polaroid photos with pattern paper from this collection and added a little word strip on each.

I layered some ephemera and popped up some flower stickers on the sign itself.

It turned out pretty cute and it was a pretty simple project!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Canvas

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project to share using the Merry Little Christmas collection. As I was walking through my local dollar store the other day, I came across these 12×12 canvases and thought how perfect for a paper project!

This was such a fun and simple project to make. I used beautiful papers from this collection with a cut file from Lori Whitlock. Look how cute that truck is with the hearts paper!

I used some 3D squares to pop up a few of the embellishments to add some more dimension.

This was really a quick project but I love how it turned out. I can’t wait to display it in my house!

Thanks for stopping by!

This is Family Notebooks with Terhi

Hey, who loves notebooks? I do!
It’s Terhi here today, and I want to share you how easy it is to turn patterned papers to your favourite notebooks. All the papers and embellishments I used to create these notebooks are from This is Family line.

I’m the kind of person who love lists and notes. My purse is always filled with notes, notebooks etc. It doesn’t matter if I ever read them or not, I just love writing things down and seeing pretty things while I’m on the go. That’s why I wanted to learn how to use patterned papers for this habit of mine. I found lots of ideas and after trying couple different techniques myself, I decided that the easier the process is the better the notebooks are.

The process for these notebooks couldn’t be easier! Just take couple sheets of “office paper” or any other paper you want to have inside as pages. Cut them to the size you wish to have each spread, then fold them half.
Choose a patterned paper for the cover, cut it slightly bigger or same size as the pages inside and fold it half, too.
My notebooks are sized about 3,5″ x 6,5″.

Then, choose a sewing machine or hand stitching.
With a sewing machine, go ahead and sew the notebook tightly together using the folding as your guide. Sew the line couple of times to make a firm notebook and pretty details!
If you choose hand stitching as I did, pierce small holes (for example with Pink Paislee Book Binding tool) to the pages and to the cover, then simply stitch the book together tightly.

Decorate the cover as you want or leave it as it is.
When you feel ready, add the notebook to your purse with a pencil and you’re ready to rock!

Have a crafty day!

Happy Glamper

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. The warmer weather has my family thinking about future camping trips. We love to pack up the car and drive to one of our favorite camping spots … or even explore a new place. With the glamping craze, I thought maybe I should be decorating our camper … so I decided I needed to make a wreath for the camper door. Here is what I came up with.

This wreath was super easy to make. It took 2.5 rolls of burlap and maybe 15 minutes! Here is a tutorial I found on YouTube to explain how to create this beautiful ruffle wreath. Well then I had to think about how to decorate my wreath. I found a svg design for the camper from SVGcuts. It’s a 3 dimensional camper complete with a lawn flamingo in the front! I made my camper using pattern papers from Jen Hadfield’s Chasing Adventures collection. The hiking girl standing in front is an extra nice touch…don’t you think?

Next I had to figure out how to attach the camper to the wreath. Since the camper is make out of paper I didn’t want to use wire and chance ripping the camper. I finally opted to glue the camper to a blackboard sign. Of course this left me space on the sign I had to decorate with vinyl. I found the cutest Happy Camper cut file in the Silhouette store. I love the trees and mountain scenery behind the camper.

The blackboard sign hangs from a wire at the top of my wreath. I also added a pretty pink bow too.

I love how this turned out. It will be so fun to see people’s reactions when they see this beauty on our camper door!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Where is your favorite place to go camping? I am always looking for a new adventure and would love to hear!

How to give New Life for Old Frames with Terhi

Hello lovely Pebbles Fans!
It’s Terhi Koskinen here back with you. It’s Christmas Eve, so I wish you the most wonderful Christmas, or Happy Holidays, no matter what you are celebrating!
Instead of keeping the Holiday theme on mind, my thoughts are already running to the upcoming year.

Usually New year is time for everything new. All new doesn’t have to be brand new, you can also renew existing things if possible. That’s what I like to do, and for making some small home decoration pieces I took couple of frames I’m not using anymore and started altering them for new use.

The frames are very basic, white and cheap, perfect starting point for quick altering! My idea was to make them, or at least one of them, for my office wall to remind me of important things like gratitude, home, family and love. I took my most favorite Pebbles collection ever: Along the Way, and started playing with the butterflies, flowers, houses and much more.

The creating process was simple. Paint the frames, make a background, choose the title and add embellishments. But to explain more and show you all the details, I recorded a process video.

Hopefully the video inspires you to start your own project. Like these frames, the project doesn’t have to be huge and time-consuming. As long as it cheers up your mood, gives you positive energy and happiness, you’re on the right track!

Thank you for joining me today here at Pebbles blog!
