How is your summer (or in the case of our friends south of us, winter) coming along? It is passing too quickly for us (as always) and we are loving all the sunshine!

With the new month comes a new challenge! We hope you’ll join us for this one – it’s so easy to join and can be interpreted in so many ways!

The theme might be pretty basic – but we hope you’ll enjoy it! It is travel. Yep – that is it – anything travel! We asked our design team members to help us with a project – and here are the ones we got to get you started :

Ready to get started? All you need to do is follow these 4 steps:

Create a project that is all about travel (i.e. Scrapbook page, card, shadowbox, etc. – we’d love to see what you love to create!). You will need to use 75% Pebbles products on your project.
Send a photo of the project to [email protected] by 11:59pm, July 15th.
Send your family and friends to our Facebook page to vote on your project July 16th-23rd.
Wait and watch to see who wins a set of paper and embellishments on the 24th!

We hope to hear from you! In the meantime, please spread the word!

Oh Summertime Travel Journal

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with a tutorial on how to create your own travel journal. This could be used to document your summer vacation adventures or to send with a child to summer camp. I decorated this one with the Oh Summertime collection.

Here is a peek at the inside pages… There is a side pocket that can be used to hold sticker sheets or ephemera pieces. You could even store postcards and stamps to send to friends and family when you are traveling.

There are 3 gusseted pocket pages that follow. You could store photos, postcards, or other memorabilia inside.

In the back I have added a notebook. I covered this one with pattern paper to pretty it up.

I have put together a YouTube tutorial complete with measurements. It is fairly easy to put together. I hope you have a look. Click here

Chasing Adventures Travel Journal

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Is anyone planning a Spring Break vacation in April? Take a look at my Chasing Adventures travel journal. It is perfect to take along on your trip to record your memories and store mementos, maps, postcards, photos and more.

The journal is crafted from a kraft cardstock and then decorated with the fun Chasing Adventures pattern papers. I glued two pieces of kraft cardstock together to make the folio stronger. To give it a vintage feel, I burnished the edges with some distress ink. An elastic band secures the binder shut. Let me show you the inside …

The front cover has a side pocket to tuck stickers and die cuts that can be used to decorate journal pages while traveling.

There are 3 pages inside. Each side of a page has a gusseted pocket to hold travel momentos, maps, postcards, and more.

Here are the other inside pages…

In the back of the journal I have added a notepad, covered with pretty pattern paper. Here you can journal about your daily adventures and add photos.

If you have an upcoming vacation, you might want to make a travel journal for yourself. Be sure to check out the Chasing Adventures collection to help you document your trip. I love that it has pattern papers and die cuts for whatever kind of adventure you desire from city vacations to mountain hiking to tropical relaxation.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Make your own Travel Journal

Hello everyone! It’s Eva Pizarro on the blog today sharing a DIY travel Journal for your next trip using the lovely Patio Party collection.

I have never used a Travel Journal but our next vacation is going to be the last one in a few months so I thought I would give it a try! Making your own Travel Journal is very easy and all you need are patterned papers and white plain paper.

To make the album cut your patterned papers to the desired size. I cut my paper 8 1/2 inch wide and 7 3/4 inch height. I used the gorgeous papers from the Patio Party collection that I think are perfect for summer photos!

Bend your papers in half and make a cover 1/4 inch bigger than the inside pages.

Next, cut some white plain paper to make your inside pages, I used an old notebook because I liked the square pattern.

Hold all the pages together with big clips and using your Staple Board, put 3 staples on your album. The Staple Board lets you see exactly where you are stapling so it is perfect for this project!

Next, use a craft knife to trim all the papers.

To close my Travel Journal I used one of these gold safety pins and some elastic. I secured the edges with my USB glue gun and then used some Stitch Happy thread to embellish it.

You can open the Travel Journal by sliding the closure or by opening the safety pin!

I decorated the front of my Travel Journal with a few die cuts and a wood veneer.

My Journal is ready and all I have to do now is fill it! You can carry small alphas, a few stickers and washi tapes with you and that way you can scrap on the go! Have you ever used a Travel Journal?

Have a great day!

Eva

Summer Holiday Projects | A Fun and Funky Girl Squad Journal

Aug

6 Comments

Have any projects to help with your summer holidays? With our next one in mind, I decided to create a travel journal—one that I could easily bring with me and that needed only a couple of pictures and handwritten stories to complete.Hello Pebbles fans! It’s Monique with you today, sharing a Fun and Funky Girl Squad Journal! When brainstorming how I wanted to put things together, I needed the embellishing mostly done so that a few stickers and washi tapes would be enough to bring along with me. What I find so fabulous about the Girl Squad collection is that it can be used for almost every occasion. When you look at my album, you see that it’s not a travel album just yet—my photos and texts will make it that—but I could also easily turn the album into a family or girls-weekend-out album… the possibilities are endless! The journal includes 20 different pages & 2 tags; it measures 5.5″ x 8″.

Here’s a photo of the cover of my “Fun and Funky Girl Squad Journal”. I just love all the papers, die-cuts, stickers and washi tape in this collection!
