Hi Pebbles friends! I’ve been around for a while, but many of you haven’t…so first of all – WELCOME! I’m Wendy Sue and I am a tried and true Pebbles fan! I love creating cards, layouts, and all things paper with the fun and beautiful designs created by the talented team at Pebbles! I thought I’d share a few tidbits about myself, along with a layout I created recently.

The most important part of my life…my whole life…are the people in this photo! My family. My husband. Three sons. One daughter. And one son-in-law.

We live in a high mountain valley in Utah. It’s the beginning of June and there’s still snow – just a hop, skip, and a jump away!! We love it here. We enjoy all things outdoors – hiking, biking, walking, swimming, boating – all the things!!

When I’m not outside, you can usually find me creating something fun with paper. Or reading a good book. Or baking my favorite cookies.

My degree (and my day job) is in accounting…so I’m pretty much working with paper in one way or another all the time. I also enjoy teaching people how to make beautiful projects, document their memories, and create cards to share with special people! Here’s a quick little tutorial for the subtle little shaker box at the bottom of my layout (did you see it?).

Start by stitching two vellum “pockets” onto patterned paper. I trimmed this fun polkadot paper to 11″ x 11″ and added two pieces of vellum – one to the top and one to the bottom – the middle will be covered by the photo and coordinating paper later.

Make sure to leave the top part of the bottom piece open (stitch the left, bottom, and right edges only)

You can find some confetti, or use one of the puffy stickers from the collection (if you don’t think you’ll use it otherwise).

Cut open the sticker.

Pour in the confetti.

Now stitch along the top to close the shaker! And finish building the layout on top of it.

Thanks so much for stopping by today – I hope you’re inspired to try something new. Come back soon!!

Nothing But Love

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. When asked to do a monochromatic project, my first thought was to fussy cut out a bunch of pink flowers from one of the beautiful floral pattern papers Pebbles is so known for. I had many options to pick from but ended up selecting a pattern paper from the Lovely Moments collection. I liked that there were three different pink flowers in this pattern that could easily be fussy cut out. I also wanted a simple background so my flowers would get all the attention. This black and white polka dot was perfect.

Underneath the fussy cut flowers I placed stems and leaves cut from a white cardstock. Partial flowers can be tucked behind a photo. The floral clusters that were intact were placed over my photo using some foam adhesive to give dimension. You can see I also added some flower stickers and puffy dots to the background.

I created my title by combining the “Nothing But” phrase Thickers with the larger “LOVE” Thickers, arranging them along the top of my photo and then down the side. I like how the two font sizes add interest.

In the die cut phrase ephemera pack I found this card, “I’m so glad I found you”. I thought it was appropriate for my layout. My daughter found her dog Nana at the Humane Society and she fell in love with her! I upped the cuteness factor by adding this adorable bunny as well.

I love how soft and feminine this layout turned out. Take another look at your floral pattern papers and give fussy cutting a try. I think you will be happy with the results too.

All Occasion Cards with Lovely Moments

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia back today with an all occasion card idea for you using the Lovely Moments collection. This time of year I need birthday cards, sympathy cards, get well cards, graduation cards, shower cards, and wedding cards. This card design could be used for all of these occasions. Just change out the sentiment.

The folded flower on these cards has a quilted look that caught my eye. Aren’t they gorgeous! This is a card you can make with a circle punch or circle cutter.

Let me show you how you can make one too….

Step 1. Punch or cut 8 – 2″ circles and 1 – 3″ circle. You will see both sides of the scrapbook paper, so choose a paper where the two sides coordinate well together. I prefer to use a smaller floral print as well. This allows you to see the flowers after folding.

Step 2. Fold each of the 2″ circles in half, then in half again.

Step 3. Fold just the top layer of paper down. Turn over and repeat on the other side. It should look like this…

Step 4. Unfold the circles except for the last fold.

Step 5. With the folded side face down (see green circle above), take the folded sides and bring to the middle crease. It should look like this. Repeat for all 8 circles.

Step 6. Apply some glue to the middle of your 3″ circle. Start laying your folded circle pieces down leaving a slight gap between.

If you want a very flat flower, press in a book for a while. I like a little dimension though, so I left my flower as is. Add a button or a brad in the center of your flower. Now you can add to a card base along with a sentiment. Make your own card base using pattern papers or use a ready made card from the Lovely Moments card box.

I love how these turned out. They are so pretty with the Lovely Moments pattern papers. I hope you give this a try yourself.

Mother’s Day layout

Hello everyone! Eva on the blog today sharing a floral layout using the Lovely Moments line.

Celebrate Mom with this floral layout made by @evapizarrov using @pebblesinc new line #lovelymoments #pebblesinc

Usually, I scrapbook about my everyday life, my son, my husband, and family events. I rarely scrapbook about my mom!

I thought that, with Mother’s Day celebration this weekend and because we are not going to be able to be together, this was the perfect opportunity to scrapbook about what my mom means to me.

To create this layout, I started by fussy cutting some flowers from the Lovely Moments papers.

I also added some flowers from the die-cut sets and the cardstock stickers. Try mixing shapes, sizes, and colors, just like a real bouquet!

Next, I typed my journaling on a white piece of cardstock and added the title in the middle with the lovely puffy stickers.

I added a few flowers and leaves, starting with the big ones and finally, I added the picture and some small flowers using 3d dots.

I also decorated my title a bit more and I added a small sentiment and a gold puffy heart.

I love how all those flowers seam to grow from under my journaling! And the foil die-cuts add the perfect amount of shine to my layout.

And here you can see the final result! I love that I got to celebrate my Mom even if we can’t see each other for Mother’s Day! How are you going to celebrate your mom this year?

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project to share using the Lovely Moments collection. I found these super cute cut files in the silhouette store. They were perfect for this love themed collection.

I decided to keep these simple by using black and white papers with a touch of pink. I think this one is my favorite!

I then just added a few stickers and embellishments. I can’t wait to be invited to a wedding so I have a reason to use these!

Thanks for stopping by!
