Spring Flowers with Terhi

Apr

Hello Friends, it’s Terhi here with you again!
It’s April now, which means we are very close to the season of Cherry Blooms. Can’t wait for it! I love seeing all trees in blossom, both apple and cherry trees are my favorite.

The last weeks has been full of very worrying news, so keeping mind in positive things and remember the beauty of the world is important. This is why I decided on creating a scrapbook page around the spring flowers theme. To create this page I used Hey, Hello! collection designed by Jen Hadfield.

You might be focusing first on the flowers here, but as usual, the most important part of a scrapbook layout is the photograph (or some other way telling about the memories).
I really like playing with photographs!
Like while creating this layout, first I added one photo of the cherry blooms, but then wanted to add another one cut in circle shape. And I couldn’t stop there, so I added even more very small cherry bloom pics in matching bloom shape.

Layering photographs on top of each other and on top of other elements in the page gives you depth and dimension. Both depth and dimension will make the layout more live, which makes the layout much more interesting!
Small things matter.

In addition to photographs of the memory, I like adding matching embellishments or other elements to the page. Like here, I wanted to add lots and lots of flowers to support the theme of the amazing cherry trees.
The rest of the creation process is just adding smaller embellishments like stickers, and then title and journaling.

Now I have this wonderful page hanging on our wall and reminding about happier times. “I got this”, and I know “all is good”, so no need to worry too much. Hope you feel the same.

Good Friendships with Terhi

Hey there Pebbles Friends!
It’s Terhi here with you today. Hope you all are fine and doing great no matter where you are!
I’m here to share you a scrapbook page telling a story about one of the most important friendships in my life.
Let’s go, I’ll share how it was created, too.

I guess friendships are important to all of us, no matter where we are or how we were raised. This is no exception for me, my friends are my superpower! But instead of creating a layout including a silly selfie taken with friends, I thought to share who are my closest friends.
Side note, the silly selfies are important, too.

Who are the friends standing next to me when life gives me lemons?
Who are close to me when I’m ill?
Who smiles me every time we see each other – even if the last time was a second ago?
Who are always excited to do absolutely anything with me?
Who are the ones who agrees with anything I say and still be the most honest ones?
Who make my heart sign no matter how gray the world looks?
Please meet our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Myy and Elsa. I hope I can be as loyal to them as they are for me.

Creating a page like this was easy.
I think the photograph and its meaning is so strong, that I didn’t want to disturb it too much. Only frame it gently, and add couple of heart there.
I had my calming moment with patterned papers and scissors, I love fussy cutting! Then, I simply adhered all the flowers on white cardstock, forming a circle and leaving some space inside it.

Before finishing the page I cut the title and adhered it too, as well as the hearts. Last, I flicked some watercolors around the flowers as I wanted to add some green to the page.
That’s it!
Oh, and another side note: See how beautifully Hey, Hello! collection and my darling dogs match together? It’s like a match made in heaven!

Do you scrapbook about your friends? How about your furry friends? Or are all of your albums including pages about your family?
I wish you are inspired! And staying mentally close to your friends.

Male Layout with Terhi | Video Tutorial

Hey there Pebbles Friends!
Terhi here again with you, sharing a scrapbook layout made with the new Hey, Hello collection. There’s also a creation process video for you to watch.
First, let me tell you something about the process.

Have you ever really thought about masculine scrapbook layouts? Do you think all pages about boys or men should be blue, green, brown… All dark colors and maybe couple images about trucks, cars or sports?
I started to create “male layout”, but after a short consideration I decided on keeping my style, keeping my favorite colors and products and just let my hands free!
Scrapbooking has no rules, and the page needs to do is telling the story forward.

The starting point for the page was the photograph: My husband enjoying fishing and endless summer night. The story includes some fish, but also lots of nature, beautiful sunset but mostly happiness about feeling good.
Therefore I created a fishing net kind of a design, using eyelets and embroidery threads. Then, I added photos and embellishments on and under the threads.
Take a look to the video below.

Hope you are inspired!

Five Guys Layout

Hi Pebbles friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing my layout for “guys week!” Of course, with 3 sons of my own, plus my husband, and a son-in-law, there is no shortage of guys (and photos of guys) around here! I had fun using the “Peek-A-Boo-You Boy” collection to create a non-baby boy layout!

A layout for the boys by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Peek-A-Boo-You Boy" Collection by @PebblesInc.

I used my brand new ek tools 2 1/4″ circle punch to create the fun circle border on the right side of this page. It was fun choosing different pieces to focus on, then punch them out and create a little lined-up collage.

Here are some of the details of my layout:

I added stickers and other pieces of ephemera to embellish the circles as well!

Of course, I had to add a few additional embellishments too – a layout just isn’t complete without some type of ribbon or twine – so I used twine on this one!

And, of course, a few faux-stitched tags tucked under the side of the photo:

And a quick and easy title with the printed die-cut and a few black letter stickers from my stash (anyone else have old American Crafts “Remarks” stickers they are hanging on to??)!

Are you ready to create a layout about the guys in your life? Share it with us!!

Adventure More

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. This week on the Pebbles blog it’s all about the guys! I picked out some masculine pattern papers from the newest Jen Hadfield collection Hey Hello; blues, greens, blacks, and a bit of yellow. I knew embellishing would be difficult so I decided I needed a strong design. My go to shapes for guys are stars and triangles. It’s been a while since I did a triangle layout so I decided to give it a go. Here is what I came up with …

I even cropped my photo into a triangle! If you look closely, you can see I added a few machine stitched triangles too.

The watercolor background sets off my photo and the pattern papers beautifully. I pulled out the Sun & Fun collection embellishments because I wanted to stick to an outdoor theme. I found these awesome trees and a frog which was just perfect!

I used the Lake Thickers that coordinate with the Sun & Fun collection for my title ‘Adventure More‘. Not wanting to do much more embellishing, I thought I would just stamp a few butterflies from the Sun & Fun collection onto my background. Note to self… stamping before adding the title would have made things easier.

I added a strip of pattern paper at the bottom of my layout, repeating the triangle pattern in this pattern paper. At the top of the layout, I added a few triangles I had leftover and then a few tags from the Chasing Adventure collection.

I love how this turned out! Why don’t you join us and create a masculine layout too.
