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.

DIY for Easter

Mar

Leave a Comment

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! Today I find you for a new article! I suggest you make a very simple DIY for Easter: small rabbit bags for chocolate hunting. For this DIY I used Hey, Hello Collection.

The first step is to make a basic pocket with white paper. I used my Cameo silhouette cutting machine but you can also use a pattern. I made two pockets of two different sizes: a small one and a larger one.

What makes the originality of this DIY is the belly of the rabbit. I used Easter eggs made of polystyrene and cut them in half in the center. Then I covered them with glue and I glued gold glitter on them. I applied 3 coats to get an opaque result.

Then I cut out the face of my rabbit. In a collection paper I cut the ears and the nose. I had fun creating a wreath by cutting flowers from paper. I add stickers of gold leaves. Finally I put sunglasses on my rabbit I thought it was funny.

To finish, I stuck my rabbit’s head on the top of my pocket. I also added legs. I stuck them on my egg with 3D foam.

For my large pocket I stayed on the same theme. I used the other half of my glitter egg. I chose another paper in pink tones. At the back I added a small tail to my rabbit by sticking a white circle.

I also made a wreath of flowers but with different flowers. I added stickers of golden leaves and a butterfly with 3D foam. I ended up sticking sunglasses on my rabbit’s eyes. I hope you like this simple DIY for Easter, see you soon.

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.

Frame for friends

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! Today I find you for a new article. I hope you are doing well and that you take advantage of this special time to do scrapbooking. Right now I’m stuck at home and I wanted to offer you a project to enhance your photos with your friends! I wanted to make a nice paper frame to stick my best memories on! For this, I used my Cameo silhouette cutting machine and I assembled my frame.

To make this frame I used the Sun and fun collection, I love this collection it is very colorful, it will also be perfect for summer! The first step was to create new embellishments. For this, I cut patterns that pleased me in the papers of the collection. I chose flowers and lemons.

Then, I glued all of my elements by adding 3D foam to add volume. I added pink dots and a die cut at the top of my first frame.

For the background of my frame, I chose a lined pink paper to stay in the colors of my decoration. I wanted to add a touch of couture. For this, I cut three strips of paper and I sewed them together, I love the result! Finally I pasted my photo.

For the last part of my frame, I did something very simple. I pasted my photo in the center and added a die cuts at the bottom. Finally, I stuck a garland on my frame.
I hope you enjoyed this creation with the Sun and fun collection. See you soon.

Girly cards with the Hey Hello collection

Leave a Comment

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! Today I find you for a new project! I really wanted to send cards to my friends and I found the Hey Hello collection perfect for this project! I love the women I find them too cute. I really wanted to use them to make my cards.

To make my cards, I cut two 15 x 20 cm white papers that I folded in half.

For my first card, I used a paper with words and pastel colors. I love this paper and I was looking forward to using it! Then I cut flowers from two different papers from the collection. Drawn flowers and colorful flowers.

For the composition of my card, I started by creating an angle with my flowers at the bottom of my card. I also put flowers in the opposite corner at the top of my card. Then I cut the two women in a paper collection and I stuck with 3D foam to add volume. Finally, I added a label with my message.

For my second card, I used the same elements: drawn flowers, colored flowers and a woman. I started by cutting my flowers in half to create two lines of flowers. These flowers define a frame in my card.

I cut my wife in a paper from the collection, I stuck with 3D foam. Then I added labels to write down my message. Finally, I stuck a sticker with golden foliage patterns.
I hope you liked these two girly cards with the Hey Hello collection from Pebbles, see you soon for a new creation!
