Father’s Day Layout Featuring The Simple Life Collection

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here to share a Father’s Day layout that I created with the Simple Life collection. Documenting Father’s Day isn’t something that I always remember to do (terrible, I know. I’m getting better though.)  When I sat down to create this Father’s Day layout I knew I wanted to use my favorite photo of my husband hugging our three kids. And, I knew I wanted to use the Simple Life collection. This collection is FULL of masculine colors and patterns. It was so easy to pick a few of my favorite patterned papers from this collection to create a layout. The first thing I did to create this Father’s Day layout was the title. I hand-cut the title out of patterned paper. I lightly drew the letters with a pencil before I began cutting. Then, it was time for some hand stitching. White embroidery floss gave the letters a bit of texture but didn’t overwhelm the letters. Hand stitching adds such a unique texture and is so easy to do. It only took about 30 minutes to stitch around the letters. Below the title is a block of typed journaling on white cardstock. Lately, I’ve done a lot of typed journaling. Even though I love handwriting my journaling, I have really big handwriting. By typing the journaling it fit into a much smaller space.This layout has a very central design but I did create movement by strategically placing the embellishment clusters in opposite corners of the central design.  The smaller embellishment cluster is in the bottom left corner of the photo. The larger embellishment cluster is in the upper right corner of the title. To balance the layout, I made sure that the same, colors, shapes, and textures were found in both embellishment clusters. I also added a couple of staples to each embellishment cluster. The staples add to the masculine feel of the layout.

I’m thrilled to have a completed Father’s Day layout with the Simple Life collection to display in our living room for Father’s Day. Do you display holiday themed layouts in your home?

Thank you for stopping by the Pebbles blog today. I’ll see you again soon!

Summer Travelers Notebook Pages

Hello Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here to share with you my Summer Travelers Notebook pages. If you remember, I shared the beginning of my Summer Travelers Notebook here on the Pebbles blog a couple of weeks ago. Summer Travelers notebook pages by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #sunshinydays #pebblesinc #travelersnotebook

I wanted to add some notebook pages about the color run my kids participated in as a part of our Summer. I used the Sunshiny Day’s collection to create this two page spread. Summer Travelers notebook pages by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #sunshinydays #pebblesinc #travelersnotebook

This week on the Pebbles blog we’re creating projects using our favorite colors. I have such a hard time choosing a favorite color. I feel kind of like choosing a favorite color is a bit like choosing a favorite child — I just can’t do it. I simply love color!! I used LOTS of color in my Summer travelers notebook pages. I’m always drawn to shades of green and blue. I worked both of those colors into this spread about the color run. Summer Travelers notebook pages by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #sunshinydays #pebblesinc #travelersnotebookI printed two 4×3 photos to tell the story of the color run. I printed the photos with a white border so that they would stand out against the teal background. As I mention, I added a LOT of color to this two page spread. Adding LOTS of color is a must when you’re documenting a color run, right?!?! The chipboard stickers, puffy stickers, and die cuts in the Sunshiny Days collection made adding color so easy to these notebook pages. Summer Travelers notebook pages by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #sunshinydays #pebblesinc #travelersnotebookThe journaling card in the ephemera pack was perfect for my journaling. The overall feel of this layout is very casual, so I chose to hand write my journaling with a black Precision Pen. Summer Travelers notebook pages by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #sunshinydays #pebblesinc #travelersnotebookI love how this story came together. The bright happy colors make this Summer Travelers Notebook. How are you documenting your Summer memories?

My hope is that this will inspire you to document your Summer memories in a Travelers Notebook with the Sunshiny Days collection. Thank you for stopping by the Pebbles blog, I’ll see you again soon!

Summer Traveler’s Notebook

Hey Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here to share with you a Summer Traveler’s Notebook that I created with the Sunshiny Days collection. I created this bright and fun Summer Traveler’s Notebook to give as a gift. This notebook makes such an easy, personal, Summer gift perfect for a friend or family member. I began by gathering a few supplies from the Sunshiny Days collection and a basic kraft covered travelers notebook. I chose some patterned paper, ephemera, stickers, and puffy stickers from the collection to craft my sunny vision of the notebook.Assembling this notebook was simple. After measuring the front of the notebook, I cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller and adhered the patterned paper to the kraft notebook. Next, I created a fun Summery scene on the front cover of the notebook. What says summer better than sunshine and palm trees?!Each die cut is adhered with a strong adhesive so the book can be used throughout the Summer. Some of the die cuts are adhered with dimensional adhesive to give the cover of the Summer traveler’s notebook a little bit of interest.

Wanting to add a bit more to this gift, I decorated the first page inside the notebook by adding a couple of die cuts and some washi tape. I think this is the perfect first page to a Summer traveler’s notebook. I can’t wait to give this Summer Traveler’s notebook as a gift! Can you imagine the summer adventures just waiting to be documented?!Thank you for stopping by the Pebbles blog today. I hope this will inspire you to create your own Summer Traveler’s Notebook either for yourself or for an easy gift.

Quilted Mother’s Day Layout & Card

1 Comment

Hey there Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here to share with you a fun quilted Mother’s Day layout and card set that I created with a combination of the TeaLightful collection, the Sunshiny Days collection, and the Lullaby collection. I chose bright patterns that mostly had smaller tone on tone prints, as well as some of the branding strips from the patterned papers. White cardstock was my base for both the Mother’s Day layout and the card. I wanted a blank slate to showcase the fun quilt blocks. When I began this project, I wasn’t intending  to create a card but I had a few bits and pieces left from the quilted pieces I created for the layout.

For the Mother’s Day layout, I began by cutting lots of 12×2 strips of patterned paper. Then, I adhered them to a piece of 12×2 white cardstock.

After I had a few 12×2 strips, I trimmed them down into 2″ squares.

When I had a little pile of 2×2 squares, I stitched down the center of each strip using white thread on my sewing machine. After all the stitching was finished, I began adhering the squares to my white background, diagonally on the left side of the layout.

I added a photo of my kids and I on the right side of the layout. I used Thickers from the Sunshiny Days collection to create the title, placing it above AND below the photo. The journaling for this layout is simply printed on white cardstock, cut into strips, and adhered above the title. I kept the embellishments on this layout to a minimum so that the photo and the quilted squares could shine. Once the Mother’s Day layout was finished, I had a few remaining squares on my desk and decided that I would make a quick Mother’s Day card as well, using only the leftover supplies.

I LOVE how both of these projects turned out!

I hope that these projects inspire you to create your own Mother’s Day projects. Thank you for stopping by the Pebbles blog. Happy Mother’s Day!

DIY Summer Centerpiece ft. Sunshiny Days Collection

Hey there Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here. Are you ready for Summer? I know I’m ready for some warmer weather and lazy Summer days! I dove into the Sunshiny Days collection to create an awesome DIY Summer Centerpiece that I know you’ll love. This is such a fun, easy project.

Begin by cutting 3 of your favorite patterned papers from the Sunshiny Days collection into 3 1/2 inch squares. Then, cut from the corner of each square, 3/4 of the way into the center of the square. After cutting toward the center of the square from each corner, gently bend (don’t crease) every other point into the center and secure each piece with a little bit of adhesive.After bending the square into the pinwheel shape, pierce the center with a paper piercer; place a brad in the hole.

After creating all 3 pinwheels, adhere them to paper straws. Next, embellish the small circle vase with a few die cuts as a finishing touch. I couldn’t be happier with this DIY Summer centerpiece.

Creating the centerpiece was fun and easy. Now, if we could just get a little warmer weather so I can have a fun outdoor summer party and use this fun centerpiece. What summer party plans do you have?

Supplies:

Daydream patterned paper 733598

Sweet Cherries patterned paper 733602

Flower Garden patterned paper 733603
