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.

Selfie mini album !

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! I do not know if you know but today we are the national selfie day ! So I present you a new mini album in which you will find photos of an event happening in my city but especially our most beautiful selfies.
To match the selfie theme I wanted to make an album in the shape of a mobile phone. I reproduced the details of my phone in sewing and I added a transparent sheet to replace the screen.

To make this double page I drew an octopus that I cut into a paper from the Oh summertime collection. I stuck it and I sewed the outlines so that it comes out better on my background paper. I cut white circles with a hole punch to reproduce the tentacles. Then I matted my photo and I added stickers. Finally I added my journaling. I used my typewriter.

For the next page, I wanted to reproduce a seascape. I started by cutting strips of paper to reproduce the sea. I added seam to bring out my waves. I stuck my picture. Then, I cut some elements in papers of the collection to finalize my seascape and I added my journaling.

To be able to paste several photos on a page I created a waterfall. I love this effect, it gives a playful side to the albums. I inserted pages of tracing paper into my album to create windows. I added some sewing to put my picture in value.

For the next page I wanted to create a fish scale effect page. For this, I cut circles with a hole punch. I cut them in half and sewn on my page. Finally, I stuck my picture on the top of my page.

I hope you enjoy this mini album and I wait for your best selfie, see you soon!

Summer mini album

Hello crafty friends it’s Lucile ! Today I find you for a new mini album. I really wanted to make a mini album to put photos of my vacation last summer. To realize it I used the collection “Oh summertime”. It’s very colorful and perfect for summer! For this mini album I started by making the cover with cardboard. Then I covered it with several papers. To keep the album closed, I created a banner. I decorated it with die cuts from the collection. It’s a great technique to decorate your cover and keep your mini album closed.

I wanted to decorate the slice of my mini album. For that I made holes with my Crop-A-Dile on each side. I then passed a white thread making patterns. I added different die cuts.

I wanted to create a mini album with pockets to slide photos and journaling. For that I used my Pocket Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers. I cut out pockets in different papers of the collection. I created a binding by assembling pieces of paper and stuck my pockets.

Finally I decorated my pockets with embellishments of the collection and I added my photos.
I hope this mini album will please you! Feel free to share your creations with the Oh Summertime collection. See you soon for a new creation!

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. This week the theme we were given for inspiration was ‘Poolside’. I figured ocean waves fit just as well and I could knock out a layout from a family vacation in beautiful Myrtle Beach South Carolina. We had lots of fun searching for unique shells and found a few sea creatures as well. The fun Pebbles Oh Summertime collection was perfect to document our beach adventures.

I wanted to showcase all the washi tape from the collection on my layout. On a piece of 8.5 x 11 cardstock, I layered washi tape all down one side. This was then mounted on a 12 x 12 piece of pattern paper. Don’t you love those fish scales? or maybe I should say mermaid scales.

I arranged multiple photos over the washi tape using foam adhesive to add some dimension. I can’t resist adding a bit of sunshine on my summer layouts to set the mood, so here I added a die cut sun. I love the all the fun water elements in this collection too, like this mermaid, jelly fish, and seaweed.

I created an eye-catching big title and backed it with a striped pattern paper that coordinated so well with my background paper.

Are you ready for summer yet? I sure am!

Fruitilicious Cards

May

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with a set of summer fruity cards created with the Oh Summertime collection.

I love shaped cards and die cuts. I was inspired to make this set of cards when I saw the “Orange you sweet” die cut ephemera piece. I knew it would make a quick and easy card if I added a few orange slices. Foam adhesive gives my card some dimension. I also added a bow and some Nuvo drops for interest.

The Oh Summertime collection also has a few popsicle die cut ephemera pieces. So I thought it would be fun to created a popsicle card. My favorite popsicle flavor is cherry … so of course my popsicle card had to be cherry flavored. To keep my card set consistent, this card also has a bow and Nuvo drops.

One of my favorite pattern papers in the Oh Summertime collection is this sheet with lemons. Lemons and Limes make my favorite summertime beverage, a nice cold margarita. The inspiration for my final fruity card.

That cute crab with the umbrella made me think of the umbrellas you find in cold summertime drinks. Foam adhesive gives my card dimension. The rim of my glass is rimmed with sparkling Nuvo drops … just like salt on a margarita glass. I also included a few translucent Nuvo drops here too.

What do the die cut ephemera pieces inspire in you?
