How to create simple and interesting background for a scrapbook page

Hello Pebbles Fans!
It’s Terhi here. I’m very excited to share you my first scrapbook page featuring Pebbles new line called Lovely Moments. This line is amazingly beautiful and perfect to document your Valentine’s Day memories!
I created a simple and quick background for this page and I want to share how it was done. It would work so well on cards or other paper craft projects, so prepare yourself to be inspired!

Seeing all the patterned papers from Lovely Moments made me want to use them right away, but obviously adding several prints on one layout might steal attention from the photograph and the story behind it. But with this simple trick you actually can add them all on your project and still receive calm and harmony result.
So what I did was that I cut the bottom strips away from each 12″ x 12″ paper and attached them on a white cardstock with a sewing machine to create a pretty background for my layout.
The simplest and most clever idea I’ve had for ages!

To make more interest to the background design, I didn’t use anything to align the strips. No adhesives, nothing. This way they all are a bit differently set up and some even on top of each other.
Once I was finished with the sewing, I torn and ripped the strips from here and there to add dimension.

Before attaching the photograph I fussy cut some beautiful blooms and flowers from patterned papers. There are so many to choose from!
To repeat the thread from the background and also to highlight the bond between my daughter and the wonderful and kind pony she loves, I wrapped some golden thread around the photograph. This makes such fun and important detail to the layout.

Lovely Moments Ephemera Phrase pack is full of fantastic die cuts to use as titles or sentiments! I chose ‘Lucky in Love’ for this layout mostly because the horseshoe which matches the story perfectly. The pony really is her Valentine!

There are some very delicate golden drops of mist here and there around the design. I love adding a bit of something extra to each of my scrapbook pages and shimmering gold mist works so well together with the colors and products of Lovely Moments.

Have you ever used the bottom strips from patterned papers or do you throw them away? Do you document your Valentine’s Day? I hope you are inspired!
Have fun creating!

Just Me And You

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. With Valentines Day coming up, we are turning our focus on L O V E . I decided to use the gorgeous Lovely Moments collection to scrap a layout of my nephew and girlfriend. I love the soft pinks combined with the kraft cardstock. It’s the perfect choice for documenting the loves of your life.

I used a double heart cut file from the Handipaper Etsy store. I backed one of the hearts with the pink and white striped pattern paper and backed the other heart with my photo. I used the heart to frame my title Just Me and You.  

The copper foil puffy sticker phrase is from the This is Family collection. These Thickers work great with this collection as well as the copper foil matches some of the die cut ephemera pieces.

And of course there are gorgeous floral die cut ephemera pieces. Here again you will see some beautiful copper foil pieces.

This is such a gorgeous collection! How many of you need this on your scrapbook table right now? It’s perfect for all the lovely moments of your life.

Who knew we would have 3 AMAZING releases coming out this month? We didn’t know — until they all came together a few months ago! We have been itching to share them with you… and now is FINALLY the time to do so!

Without any further delays, we want to show you Hey! Hello!, Sun & Fun and Lovely Moments. Hey! Hello! was made with our friend, Jen Hadfield, while the other two were part of our scheduled releases for the year. Are you ready to take a look??

Hey! Hello! by Jen Hadfield

Our newest Jen Hadfield collection will bring happiness to both the scrapbooker and the card maker alike.

Printed and ephemera sentiments include thank you and thinking of you, sympathy, feel better, girlfriend and congratulations– designed to bring joy to the crafter and the recipient.

Also included are plenty of uplifting and endearing phrases that are perfect for memory-keeping.  Don’t miss the beautiful colors and fresh assortment of icons of florals, bees, quirky llamas, sloths, hedgehogs, and more. 

Sun & Fun

Our Sun & Fun Summer Collection is all about lakeside life, with a twist!

Check out icons of lake & pool fun, flip flops, camping, sunshine, lemonade, popsicles & ice cream cones, bike rides, swimsuit friends, endearing animals, and make-a-wish dandelions.

They all come together in a bright, bold color palette to capture all the moments of summer you enjoy most!

Lovely Moments

Our Lovely Moments collection will add beauty to all of your special celebrations throughout the year.

Our design base was a simple and neutral color palette, grounded in kraft paper for a more grownup, natural feel.

You will discover plenty of greenery, pretty cakes and desserts, breathtaking florals and wreaths, flowers, ice cream, flower trucks, bicycles, and more.

These collections can be found online and at your local smaller-sized craft store starting the beginning of February. Please share your creations with us by tagging #pebblesinc and #madewithpebbles — we can’t wait to see what you create!
