Merry Christmas, y’all! Heather Leopard is here today to tell you about one of my family’s Christmas traditions – train ride to see Santa via the Polar Express in our Christmas pajamas from our house elves. The girls get super excited when they discover these gifts from their elves, who by the way end up covered in tape and wrapping paper. It’s so funny and so cute to watch the girls. I’ve documented this story on this scrapbooking layout.

We snapped these photos while waiting for the train to take us to the North Pole. The girls even received a golden ticket for the ride.

Gather your supplies

You’ll need 5 – 9 patterned papers, scissors or die cut machine, the free cut file I designed, mist or other ink medium, die cuts and other embellishments as listed in supplies below.

Document your Christmas Traditions

Hand cut the pieces of your Christmas tree or download my free cut file HERE. Cut each piece and arrange on the page to make sure you like how it looks. Don’t add adhesive yet. You may choose to cut each piece using a different pattern like I did, the same pattern or a repeating pattern. Either way, it will look fantastic. I chose to spread them out with a little space here and there but you might want to place them right next to each other without the space.

Next, spray gold mist lightly over your background paper. Once dry, splatter red, green and gold. Let that dry as well.

Add your tree pieces back to the page and add some random, creative stitching. Don’t worry about perfection. It was designed to have some irregularities.

Add some puffy stickers as decorations for your trees to add a bit more dimension. Try to pick out stickers that are the same color as or coordinate with the patterned paper.

Christmas Traditions Documented

Add your photos and other embellishments and don’t forget your journaling. While I am going to create a complimentary Christmas traditions pocket page with photos of the elves and extensive journaling, I left space at the top of the photos to add journal strips.

So tell me…what are your favorite Christmas traditions this holiday season?

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

A Sunshiny Days Sweet Summer Sand Castle

Hello Pebbles friends! It’s Monique here today sharing my Sunshiny Days Summer DIY project: a Sand Castle! Does anything get better than sandcastles on the beach? Why yes! Candy-filled sandcastles!

Once I saw the sand castle cut file in the Silhouette Store, I knew I wanted to try it out. When I heard that the theme for this week was “Pool/Beach Days,” it took me 2 seconds to decide what to make: a Summer Sweets Sand Castle! Look how fun it turned out!

Sweet Summer Sand Castle created by @moniqueliedtke with the #Sunshiny_Days collection by @PebblesInc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc #sweet_summer_sand_castle #sweets_sand_castle

For the base of the sweets sand castle, I used American Crafts light yellow cardstock from the cardstock Spring pack. I used five different patterned papers & lots of stickers (including cardstock, chipboard AND puffy stickers). Initially I thought I would use the die-cuts too, but they were too large for this project.

I began by cutting out all the different pieces from the sand castle cut file ( #139538 from the Silhouette Store) and put them in front of me on my dining room table.

Next, I folded all the parts to get the dimension started:

To glue the parts together, I used a little liquid glue. I have to admit in the beginning, after cutting out all the separate parts, I doubted my decision to create the sand castle. How was I going to put it together! Once the first few pieces came together, I could totally see how it would finish! It came together with just a little effort after that.

Attaching the sides of the three towers together:

Adhering the patterned paper to the front & back of the cardstock:

After gluing the front & back sand castle shapes to the the three towers (as well as both patterned paper sides), the sand castle was more or less done. I made two flags (what is a castle without a flag, right?) and embellished the sand castle with many of various fabulous Sunshiny Days stickers (cardstock, chipboard and puffy)to finish it off just right:

The darling chipboard flamingo had to be included!

The only thing left to do was fill the left and right towers with sweets!

I so adore the result! The sand castle turned out even better than I had in mind beforehand! I loved the cut file straight away, but the finished project looks so much more fun with the awesome Pebbles Sunshiny Days collection! Can’t wait to hear what you think!

BOO, EEK…Trick or Treat Halloween Layout + Free Cut File

Happy Haunting, Pebbles friends. Heather Leopard is here and there will be no tricks this Halloween, only TREATS. Keep reading for a link to download my spider’s web cut file.

This girl of mine successfully attempted to play Mal for Halloween. The only problem with playing the “bad” girl is my daughter’s sweet face and personality so I thought I’d “mean” it up by making the layout a little bit creepy with all these spider webs.

I created the spider webs in my Silhouette software and I’m offering it as a free download, which is my TREAT to you today! Download it HERE.

I chose to back the spider web cut-outs with coordinating pattern paper. I used the smaller prints from the 6×6 paper pad so that the patterns would show more detail. To get the perfect fit, I used the cut out bits as a template for each “empty” space and just left a 1/4″ border around it. It made for a perfect fit when I adhered it to the the back of each section of the web.

Next, I stitched over each and every section of the web and left the black threads to add to the creepy effect I was going for.

The webs were a bit flat feeling so I added a paper rosette to each of them.

Then, for the photo, I added more coordinating patters, die cuts, tags and stickers.

You can even pull the black tag with the spider out from behind to reveal hidden journaling.

I hope you have a wonderful and safe Halloween wherever you are. Make sure to come back here when you’re ready to scrapbook your photos to DOWNLOAD THE FREE CUT FILE!

Happy Haunting!
