Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. This week the theme we were given for inspiration was ‘Poolside’. I figured ocean waves fit just as well and I could knock out a layout from a family vacation in beautiful Myrtle Beach South Carolina. We had lots of fun searching for unique shells and found a few sea creatures as well. The fun Pebbles Oh Summertime collection was perfect to document our beach adventures.

I wanted to showcase all the washi tape from the collection on my layout. On a piece of 8.5 x 11 cardstock, I layered washi tape all down one side. This was then mounted on a 12 x 12 piece of pattern paper. Don’t you love those fish scales? or maybe I should say mermaid scales.

I arranged multiple photos over the washi tape using foam adhesive to add some dimension. I can’t resist adding a bit of sunshine on my summer layouts to set the mood, so here I added a die cut sun. I love the all the fun water elements in this collection too, like this mermaid, jelly fish, and seaweed.

I created an eye-catching big title and backed it with a striped pattern paper that coordinated so well with my background paper.

Are you ready for summer yet? I sure am!

Supplies:

734094 Oh Summertime Ephemera 
734090 Oh Summertime Washi Tape
340272 Sticky Thumb Foam Dimensional Dots

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Summertime at the Beach | Mermaid Scrapbook Layout

Heather Leopard here and while I may be back from our trip to Hawaii, I’m still living in vacay mode. Because of that, I figured now would be a good time to get started on documenting the highlights of the trip. Why not start with this summertime at the beach mermaid scrapbook layout?

Beach Mermaid Scrapbook Layout by Heather Leopard for @pebblesInc using #SunshinyDays collection #mermaid #scrapbook #beach #scrapbooking #madewithpebbles

My daughter loves everything mermaid, from fashion to her favorite television shows to documentaries so we gave her a mermaid tail a few years ago as a gift. She only swims with it when in the pool but we brought it along on the trip for a little play time.

Since the mermaid scrapbook layout was also about the beach, I wanted to incorporate some visuals in that theme – waves and mermaid scales.

To begin, cut scallops from the Let’s Float scallop paper to resemble mermaid scales as well as waves. I love the scallops on this paper because they aren’t all shaped the same.

Starting at the bottom of the layout, overlap the scallop strips. Layer some more than others so it doesn’t look too symmetrical. Then add a patterned paper to the top half to resemble the beach.  A thin paper strip at the seam helps give the page a more finished look.

Next, add a frame around the photo, a card with hidden journaling tucked behind the photo and also some Hawaiian-themed embellishments. I didn’t want to add too much here because the lower half of the layout is quite busy. I used an anonymous quote I ran across as my title. For a great visual, I wrapped it around my photo and to the side. This also helped fill in some of the empty space on the page.

Last but not least, add additional embellishments around the mermaid scrapbook layout to fulfill the visual triangle design principle. And of course, a fluffing of the scallops helps to finish it off.

I’ve gotta say it—she’s the cutest little mermaids I have ever seen.

Sunshiny Days Layout with Washi Tape

Hello Pebbles fans! It’s Eva Pizarro here today, showing you how to use your washi tape to add a fun element to your Sunshiny Days layout.

Learn how to use washi tape to add a fun element to your layout with this tutorial from @evapizarrov, featuring the new #sunshinydays collection by @pebblesinc. #pebblesinc #madewithpebbles

One of my favorite embellishments from the Sunshiny Days collection are the narrow washi tapes. You can use them to decorate your planner, make frames, embellish Project Life cards, or — as I did on my layout — create a shape. The possibilities for washi tape are endless, and many shapes can be created using the fun patterns matched with a correlating patterned paper. With the Sunshiny Days collection, I thought what better pattern to create than a sun!

I created a sun to use as a background for my picture. Begin by cutting a circle from one of the patterned papers.

Mark the center of your circle and attach the washi tape strips, creating sun beans.

Don’t worry if your circle is not perfectly round, once you add the embellishments you won’t even notice!

To finish the layout I added a cute journaling card and some die cuts. The designs are perfect for your pool, beach, or summer photos! I love the flamingos, they are super cute and add flair to any page!

The washi tape pattern makes the sunbeans pop, while the sun draws the eye of the viewer right to the photo!

As a final touch, I added some epoxy stickers here and there. I hope you enjoyed this tip about using your washi tape stash to make something beautiful! What other ways do you utilize spare washi tape in your projects? Comment below and share your layout and washi tape tips.

If you’re like my family, Summer revolves around going to the pool. Therefore, pool towels are very popular and pile up in the laundry. So, being inspired by a Summertime necessity in our house, I made this easy Pool Party Gift idea perfect and simple to bring to your next pool party bash.

Summer Scrapbook Layout

Are you ready for summer yet? If not perhaps this fun grid-style summer scrapbook layout created by Designer Marjan Pel will do the trick! We love the way she’s mixed patterned paper up for a fun look.

Summer

Last summer we had this beach vacation in the Netherlands. Zandvoort aan Zee is one of the major beach resorts of the Netherlands. It has a long sandy beach, bordered by coastal dunes. The kids loved it there! They played in the sand all day long. We had a lot of warm and sunny days during this summer vacation and we spent most of the time at the beach.

I wanted to scrap a fun scrapbook page about one day at the beach. First I cut my normal sized 4 x 6 pictures into squares because I wanted to use an easy grid design for my page. I used several yellow and blue designed patterned papers from different collections to make some sunburst cards.

I sewed vellum squares on 3 of them to give it an eclectic look.

I embellished the scrapbook layout with coordinating stickers and golden rub-ons. To give some of these embellishments a bit of a dimension I used little foam adhesives. The gold of some of the stickers and rub-ons remembers me of the color of the sun. For me sun is not only yellow, but has different shades of yellow and gold!

I just love summer and when I look at this scrapbook page I really can remember those warm and sunny days at the beach from Zandvoort aan Zee!
