Patriotic Activities with Terhi

Leave a Comment

Hey all and Happy July!
Terhi here with you, just in time to celebrate 4th of July with the citizens of the USA.
I’d like to share something patriotic from here where I live, in Finland. I made this scrapbook layout to capture our story about the way we celebrate our Independence Day, and from the end of this post you can also find a process video to learn how to make similar layout yourself!

Celebrating Independence Day in Finland usually means another snowy day, and therefore our activities during the day are either inside a building or somehow tied up with the snow. In my family the tradition is to go hiking in the snowy woods, set a campfire and have some delicious outdoor food (and hot cocoa!) in crisp freezing air. Sure the day has some other repetitive elements, but I feel this one is the closest to my heart.

Even though the Finnish Independence Day is all white and blue in many, many ways, I chose to create this layout using the Big Top Dreams collection with its amazingly rich colors. These colors shows exactly how much fun it is to slide down a hill with a sled, or be under a snowy tree when another kicks it hard to the arm!

This layout was very easy to do, however fussy cutting all the flowers sure took some time. Take a look to the process video below to see how it all came together. If you can’t see the video here, click here to my YouTube channel.

Enjoy watching!

Hope you feel inspired! Have a fantastic day!

Triangles and Beach Walks with Terhi

Hello lovelies! Terhi here with another layout (and a process video) made with my new favorite collection: Chasing Adventures.

During the last month or so our family has gone through all kind of illnesses, like the rest of the world too. During the time of runny noses and fevers the idea of calming scrapbooking is usually gone and sitting in front of pretty items isn’t so tempting, if even possible. After this kind of times getting back on track might feel overwhelming.
What’s your secret to get over it?
Mine is going with the most beautiful products and taking it easy.

By saying “taking it easy” I don’t only mean taking time to heal first, but making easy projects. Like this layout, it must be the simplest layout I have ever done. There is nothing tricky, only papers, embellishments and some color added with Creative Devotion Gel Crayons.

While I was still coughing and watching movies, I thought sometimes scrapbook-related could be done from the sofa. I chose one of the flower papers from Chasing Adventures and started cutting. Fussy cutting made me instantly feel better.

After I felt strong enough, I took my camera and started filming.
Hope you like what you see!

Patio Party Scrapbook Process Video with Amanda!

Hi Pebbles Friends! 

Happy 2019! I wish you all much happiness, health and prosperity for the New Year!

2018 saw the release of so many gorgeous collections for Pebbles, but my very favorite would have to be the bright and beautiful Jen Hadfield: Patio Party. Just beautiful! 

So, just before we reveal the first of many stunning new lines for 2019, let’s take another look at this wonderful collection!

Today I am sharing a very sweet & fun scrapbook layout’

“Smile”

Oh isn’t this pretty?!!

Such a beautiful page that really draws on all the gorgeous florals and blooms in both my photo, & the Patio Party collection! Love it!

Here’s a closer look for you….

Sigh! This is soooooooo pretty!

I have featured the beautiful Backyard Blooms pattern paper as both the layout base and ‘border’, and then used this very same pattern in the 6 x 6 size to back my silly selfie photo with! The repeat patterning creates unity within my design, and pulls everything ‘together’. As it is such a busy pattern paper, I avoid adding other designs or patterns and instead, opt for lots of complimentary embellishments to support my photo with.

How pretty are all those blooms?!

You’ll spy them in Die Cut Ephemera, Dimensional Stickers, Puffy Stickers and even the 6 x 12 Accent Stickers – so many beautiful embellishments to create layers and interest with!

Just look at those layers!!! All the heart eyes for these pretty details!

With all those bright, pop colors & layered blooms, I feature the Wood Stickers to create balance in my design. The strong, rectangular shape combined with the dark wood grain offer a hint of masculinity and structure to this otherwise girly page.

I use the gold Puffy Sticker, Smile for my title – perfect for my selfie!

For finishing touches, I add a little watercolor paint and splatter droplets to complete my lovely page!

Hi everyone, Heather Leopard is here today with a scrapbooking process video for the stars and stripes scrapbooking layout I featured on the blog yesterday, also shown below.

Join me as I walk through the creation of this layout, detailing everything step-by-step. I’ll also share a few tips you can use on any layout.

Just remember…while I created this shooting star / Patriotic layout documenting our day at the beach celebrating the 4th of July, you could use the cut file for countless other themes – baby, stargazing, and so much more.
