Fun Times with Terhi

Hi everyone, it’s Terhi here again!
When you start creating a scrapbook page, which is leading you: the photograph or the products?

For me this answer is simple.
The photographs and the memories. And I must admit sometimes I can’t stop myself from saving a precious photo as long as I find the right supplies for it.
However, this time the process of creating started started very differently, when I saw the most inspiring cut file ever.
*The cut file is from Paige Evans

The beautiful circle design kind of funny one and as I love backing cut files I thought it would be wonderful to use the cut file as a colour wheel, with the brightest colors I could find. So I did and I found, all thanks to Pebbles.
I used patterned papers from “Happy Cake Day” line and created four coloured colour wheel for the background of the page.
I had four selfies waiting for the perfect products to scrapbook with, and I love the way black and white photos goes with colourful design.
Also, these selfies aren’t very seriously taken and the story behind tells about how much we all laugh together, so all the colors and design supports the theme.

Once I was ready with the background, I dived in to my scraps and found lots of colourful blooms to decorate the page. All from Pebbles of course, from the lines below:
Big Top Dreams
Chasing Adventures
This is Family
Heart of Home
I cut out as much flowers and blooms as possible and layered the flowers to make them more dimensional. To create the flowers I followed my own tutorial from last fall, please watch it here from my YouTube channel.

To finish this colourful and fun layout I added the photographs vertically in the middle and wrote a small title with thickers from Big Top Dreams.

Inspiring? Hope so! Let me know what you think by writing a comment below. I’ll be here reading them while I’m waiting to see the new lines from Pebbles arrive at my house.

Heart of Home with Terhi

Hello Pebbles Fans!
Terhi Koskinen here to inspire you with the collection that made me fall in love with Pebbles when it first was released.
Drom roll please… It’s Heart of Home by Jen Hadfield!

Last week I had a pleasure visiting Jen’s blog with a mini book I made as a housewarming gift (link). As I had all of those beautiful paper laying in front of me on the table I just couldn’t stop myself from creating another project with the gorgeous products.

This week here at Pebbles blog we are featuring a theme “A Day in Life”. The Day in Life could be anything, but I chose to highlight a day would happily live another time as there was simply nothing I’d change: Day with my family on a beach.

To create the layout I wanted to use the fussy cut leaves and flowers I already had left over from making the mini book, and I also wanted to use watercolors because July is World Watercolor Month. Usually when I’m scrapbooking the photos I’m using are leading the way I design the layout, but this time was an exception as there was these special products in my mind.
To feature the delicate leaves the design had to be just as delicate as they are, and it also meant the watercolors couldn’t be stealing too much attention from the white background.
To add even more tender elements to the page, the photos I chose to use were very small.
All I figured was to create a small grid and frame the squares with hand stitching so I could add something soft to the mix to balance it all a bit.

After all, it ended up just the way I wanted! Once again my journaling is hidden in the backside of the layout, and even the title is very small so the flowers, photos and the grid are more visible.

Hope this gives you inspiration to create something beautiful today!

Make Cards Using Scraps

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I dug out some scraps I had from the Jen Hadfield Heart of Home collection and decided to make some everyday cards with them. Did you know the Heart of Home papers, stickers, and other embellishments are available at your local Joann Fabrics stores! I love that I can use my Joann coupons to purchase my favorite scrapbook supplies too. I made a set of three cards, all with the same design. I just changed the pattern papers up.

Journal cards or tags are a great way to add a sentiment to a card if you aren’t big into stamping. I added a cardstock background to my journal cards to help set them apart from my card background. Then I created my own embellishments using scraps of patterned paper and cardstock, my Silhouette Cameo, and a few digital cut files.

A border die separates the two card background pattern papers and adds a feminine touch.

I used the same white twine bows and Nuvo translucent drops on all three cards. When reusing the same design and products, I find that I can whip up several cards in no time. A sticker here and there helps me use up my sticker stash too.

Take another look at your scraps before you toss them. Maybe you could make some amazing cards too!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend.

Easy mini album with the Heart of Home collection

Hello friends, it’s Lucile! I find you today to make a mini album! This mini album is easy to create and you will only need three items: a pad of paper, stickers and ephemera. If you want to see the full tutorial, check out the video at the end of the article.

The album is square and opens to the front in the center. To close it, I sewed a thread on one side. To hide the seam I sewed three butterflies. It also helps to give volume to the cover. I tied a tag at the end of the thread. To close it just wrap the thread around the butterfly.

The album is built as an accordion. I added a thickness to each page to be able to add volume without distorting the album. The accordion album allows to put photos on both sides and to have two different part in the album.

I decorated the first page with stickers from the collection. For my title, I used letters cut from a paper. When you do not have a lot of embellishment do not hesitate to decorate items in your papers!

You can also use cards to decorate your pages. Most collections have papers with several cards to cut. It’s a great solution for decorating your scrapbooking albums or pages.

Finally, I present a page that mixes all these little tricks! It is possible to create mini albums without having a lot of material, just have a little imagination and a good pair of scissors! I hope this mini album and these little tips will have pleased you. Feel free to watch the video if you want to re-create the same mini album! I’ll see you soon for a new creation.

SUPPLIES :
– HEART OF HOME PAPER PAD
– HEART OF HOME STICKERS
– HEART OF HOME EPHEMERA

Organize your memories of spring !

Hello friends it’s Lucile ! Today I find you for a new project ! I suggest you make a mini album with pockets to organize your memories of spring. To make this mini album I used the collection “Heart Of Home” by Jen Hadfield. You can find the video of the complete tutorial at the end of the article.

To make the cover I used cardboard. Then I covered it with different papers from the collection. I wanted to make the slice with a different paper. I decorated it with stickers and die cuts. I ended up adding my title to the slice.

Inside I started by creating a pocket with four compartments: one for each month. I used four envelopes that I stuck together. I then covered the front of my pocket with a paper and I created another cover to slip a tag. I ended up decorating with die cuts and stickers. I created tabs with a punch and attached them to my photos to catch them easily in the pockets.

For the left part, I created a larger pocket. I cut the top so I could slide things in more easily. I decorated it with several embellishments of the collection.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that it will help you organize your photos. We meet again very soon for a new realization !
