Just Me – Marcia

Jun

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Each designer has been introducing themselves this past week. I thought I would introduce myself by creating a layout about my 20 favorite things for 2020 so you could get to know me a little better. The Pebbles Hey, Hello collection was the perfect choice!

Since flowers are one of my favorite things (I have flower gardens all around my house) I fussy cut some flowers from one of the gorgeous floral pattern papers in the Hey, Hello collection and placed them at the top and bottom of my layout.

Since I love my fur babies, it seemed fitting to add this adorable cat ephemera die cut in the flower cluster at the bottom. We currently have 3 cats and 2 dogs in residence. I was a foster Mom for a local rescue until recently. So a few of our pets were foster failures. We just could not part with them. A few were strays. It seems I have a knack for attracting them as well. Spook, the black cat on my shoulders in the photo, has a special place in my heart. I had to nurse him by hand as a kitten through a respiratory infection.

What else do I like? Coffee, Avocado Mango Power Greens Smoothies, listening to audio books so I can keep up with my bookclub, and spending time with friends and family are just a few …

I live in Minnesota with my husband of 36 years! Together we managed to raise two very successful girls and one amazing boy. They are all out on their own now. (Which is why I needed fur babies to fill up the empty nest.) By day, I am a software engineer. At night I like to play with pretty papers. I have been scrapbooking for almost 20 years. Scrapbooking branched into cardmaking, paper crafts, and some home decor as well.

I hope you will try creating a 20 favorite things layout for 2020 as well. It’s good to see how our likes change over the years. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Adventure More

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. This week on the Pebbles blog it’s all about the guys! I picked out some masculine pattern papers from the newest Jen Hadfield collection Hey Hello; blues, greens, blacks, and a bit of yellow. I knew embellishing would be difficult so I decided I needed a strong design. My go to shapes for guys are stars and triangles. It’s been a while since I did a triangle layout so I decided to give it a go. Here is what I came up with …

I even cropped my photo into a triangle! If you look closely, you can see I added a few machine stitched triangles too.

The watercolor background sets off my photo and the pattern papers beautifully. I pulled out the Sun & Fun collection embellishments because I wanted to stick to an outdoor theme. I found these awesome trees and a frog which was just perfect!

I used the Lake Thickers that coordinate with the Sun & Fun collection for my title ‘Adventure More‘. Not wanting to do much more embellishing, I thought I would just stamp a few butterflies from the Sun & Fun collection onto my background. Note to self… stamping before adding the title would have made things easier.

I added a strip of pattern paper at the bottom of my layout, repeating the triangle pattern in this pattern paper. At the top of the layout, I added a few triangles I had leftover and then a few tags from the Chasing Adventure collection.

I love how this turned out! Why don’t you join us and create a masculine layout too.

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.

Vacay Layout with Chasing Adventures

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I am so excited to be sharing my first post with the fabulous Chasing Adventures collection by Jen Hadfield. This is such a fun collection! Perfect for capturing your adventures whatever they may be. The tropical elements in the collection were calling to me to scrap a photo from our Hawaiian vacation a few years ago.

This layout design was inspired by the washi tape in this collection. I added strips of washi tape all along one edge of a 8.5″x11″ piece of white cardstock.

I mounted my white piece of cardstock with the washi tape onto some pretty blue pattern paper that coordinated so well with my photo. A sun tucked behind my photo helps it to stand out against the busy patterns of the washi tape. The Vacay phrase sticker and palm tree from the Adventure Thickers made for the perfect title. I couldn’t resist adding those cute sunglasses from the puffy sticker pack too.

Hawaii has beautiful tropical flowers, just like these gorgeous floral die cuts I arranged opposite my title along with some wood veneer and the ‘Let’s Get Lost’ sign. I included a tag, tucked under the top of my photo, so that I could add journaling.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you’ll try creating a layout with a washi tape background too.
