Easter Scrapbook Layout

Who doesn’t love a fun, themed collection? They’re always so fun to work with. It’s a bit more of a creative challenge though when you repurpose a themed collection and use it in a new way. Take for instance the way Suzanna Lee has taken our Special Delivery line and used it to create an Easter scrapbook layout.

Repurposing Themed CollectionsThe Special Delivery Girl collection has such lovely soft colors with a bright spark here and there to pull you in. It’s just darling for baby girls. Or Easter bunnies! My baby girl is 7 now, she’s really not much of a baby. But doesn’t preclude me from using this collection! The colors and certain elements are just the thing for this Easter themed layout.

Easter scrapbook layout created by @SuzannaLee72 using @PebblesInc #SpecialDeliver collection #scrapbooking #pebblesincDon’t be afraid to re-purpose themed collections. Scan through the embellishments and you will always find some that are generic, more support to the central theme. Those are the embellishments and papers that will become central to your re-purposed theme and creation. For example, the rabbit and flowers that I used here.

It’s very clear when you think about it that “Hello world” and “Girl” are from a baby collection when you see it with the whole collection and all the cutesy baby sayings and classic symbols of baby (safety pins, rubber ducks, etc) but they don’t look out of place here, on an Easter layout. Think outside of the box; how else can you use things?

That little green washi tape looking bit anchoring the journaling tag down is the top of the “Hello world” banner. It was too long for the spot I wanted the banner so I trimmed it to fit. The left over was perfect as a pseudo-washi don’t you think?

EasterRepurpose_Close3_SuzannaLeeDon’t be afraid to use a themed collection if it’s not relevant to you for another purpose! I had another example of re-purposing up on my blog earlier this month. I used the Pebbles Americana collection, a very patriotic, red, white and blue collection to document a swimming event. You can find it HERE if you’re interested.

Pebbles’ Special Delivery line is so cute for boys and for girls.  I especially loved the color combination of the girl line.

The little bird embellishments and the rub-ons are my favorites, and I love the patterns on the paper.  They make the sweetest baby projects.

Holiday Magnetic Paper Doll Set

We’re rounding out our handmade holiday gifts week with a couple of great posts. Up first? An amazing set of holiday magnetic paper dolls created by Samantha Taylor.

Handmade Holiday Gifts

This year we have lots of kids in our neighborhood, so I got to thinking about fun handmade Christmas gifts for kids (whether it’s neighbor kids, cousins, friends’ kids, or the like).  I decided to use the beautiful patterned paper from Pebbles with the 5” Xyron Creative Station to make Magnetic Paper Dolls.

Handmade Paper Dolls

I used my Silhouette to cut out a paper doll and clothes.  If you don’t have a Silhouette you print paper doll templates directly onto patterned paper and cut them out that way.  It was so much fun to choose different colors and patterns from the Pebbles paper collections to turn into clothes.  If you’d rather cater this project to the boys in your life, you could make paper super heroes.

Magnetic Paper Dolls 2

Once the pieces were cut out, ran them through the Xyron Creative station with the laminate/magnet cartridge in.  This step not only adds a magnet to the back of the paper doll pieces, but adds laminate to the top, protecting the paper from the abuse of play.  If the pieces get sticky or dirty, you can just wipe them off!

Magnetic Paper Dolls 3

After you run your pieces through the Xyron, you will have to cut each piece out from the magnet/laminate sheet (I was able to cut everything out by hand for this set while sitting and watching 1 episode of Grays Anatomy, so it doesn’t take very much time).

Once they pieces are cut out, they’re ready to be played with on a metal cookie sheet.  I picked up a brand new one for $3.

Magnetic Paper Dolls 5

To keep track of pieces that aren’t being played with (the sheet can be a bit crowded if you try to fit all of the clothes on it at once), I also made a large envelope from Pebbles Basics paper.

I can’t wait to give this gift away!
