Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project to share using a variety of Jen Hadfield collections. I made this card for my mom using bits and pieces from 3 different collections (Chasing Adventure, Warm & Cozy, & Along the Way).

This was such a fun card to make. I used a cut file from Lori Whitlock. It turned out so cute, I gave it to my mom for Mother’s Day!

I was inspired by all the pretty photos Jen posts on her Instagram account. I want that wallpaper in my house!

These little photo frames from the Along the Way collection were just perfect for this!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fussy Cut Floral Layout

Hey there Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here. I’m so excited to share a layout with you that I created using bits and pieces from the Simple Life collection, the Warm & Cozy collection, and the DIY Home collection. This fussy cut floral layout is one of my favorites! Jen Hadfield’s collections are personal favorites of mine. I love all of them!!

I started by fussy cutting A LOT of flowers. I LOVE fussy cutting. It’s one of my favorite techniques. I watch for patterned papers that have elements I can fussy cut. Not only are fussy cut elements fun, they’re also a great way to make your scrapbooking budget stretch a little bit further. For the price of one piece of patterned paper you can often get dozens of fussy cut elements that are great for embellishing. I chose three patterned papers to fussy cut flowers from. I knew I wanted tons of flowers to cascade diagonally across my layout from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.

This  is actually a very budget friendly layout because I only used one piece of patterned paper on the background. I cut the paper into three pieces and adhered them back together on a piece of cardstock using both sides of the patterned paper.

I used lots of dimensional adhesive to adhere the flowers to the background of the layout. This step is optional but it makes a huge difference in the amount of texture on the layout.

I love the shadows that the flowers create!

I nestled my title and journaling under the photo, right next to the flowers.

I created a few different layers under the photo. I always want the focus of my layouts to be on the photo. By adding a few layers under the photo it draws the readers eye to the photo and makes it stand out against the floral embellishments.

I know fussy cutting can be a hot topic among scrapbookers. Which side of the fence are you on? Do you love fussy cutting? If you do, this may be a layout you’d like to scraplift. Thank you for stopping by the Pebbles blog. I’ll see you again soon!

St. Patrick’s Day Cards

Hi friends, it’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a fun little set of St. Patrick’s Day cards!  Even though Pebbles doesn’t have a new collection that is “St. Patrick’s Day” themed, it was fun pulling papers from “Woodland Forest” and “Warm & Cozy” collections, plus a few older Jen Hadfield collections, to create these lucky little leprechaun cards!  I’m excited to sit these out for my kiddos on the morning of St. Patty’s Day with their table full of green treats – a fun tradition at our house.

Here’s a peek at the papers I used to create the cute leprechaun paper piecing, which, by the way, is a Silhouette cut file from Pebbles In My Pocket!

Here’s a look at the individual pieces before I assembled the cute little guy.

I started with the cute little top hat.  I layered a black band and golden buckle on top of the plaid hat.  I used foam adhesive squares to place the four leaf clover right next to the buckle.

The face is placed on top of the beard.  When I have little tiny pieces to glue on, I like to dip a paper piercer in glue, then lightly dab it onto the area where I need to place the small piece.  That’s what I did here to add the teeny tiny eyes.

And now it’s time to put our little guy together!

For the inside, I printed some text onto white cardstock, trimmed it, then completed the sentiment with gold Thickers:

Quick Snowflake Themed Gift Bag

I don’t know about you, but sometimes January feels a little bit sad.   There are no big holidays to celebrate, decorate for, or give gifts.  This January, especially, we’ve had SO much snow and it’s been so super cold that we haven’t really even gone out much unless it was necessary.  I decided to stop feeling down about it, and create something beautiful instead.  So, I whipped up these little “snowflake themed” gift bags!  It was kind of a fun challenge to create a project that screamed “winter,” but not “Christmas.”  I think I did it though – what do you think?

These little bags will be fun to fill with a treat or a little gift to share with some of my friends who have also been “snow-bound” for the last little while.

Here’s how quick and easy they are to make:

Start by gathering the supplies.  The polka-dot glitter gift kraft bags, the gold circle stickers, and the phrase tags are from the Home+Made collection by Jen Hadfield.   I cut the snowflake shapes from the “b” side of the “tweed” patterned paper from the “Warm & Cozy” collection using my Silhouette.  I have always been a fan of snowflake embellishments that weren’t just plain white – this text paper was a perfect choice for me. The buffalo plaid paper is also from the “Warm & Cozy” collection, it’s called “Antlers.”  I also pulled some black twine and foam adhesive from my stash.

The first step is to add the gold trim to the top and bottom of the plaid (it’s sticky on the back, so this is so quick!) paper.

Place it on the bag front and secure with additional adhesive, and by wrapping the ends of the gold trim to the back of the bag.

Next, “fluff” the snowflakes and layer them together.

And add them to the left side of the plaid piece – I like mine to hang off the edge slightly.

Next, add a gold glitter circle sticker.  I used foam adhesive to add mine to the center of the snowflakes.  Now you have a pile of snow (just like my yard!) – or a snowflake-flower! 😉

Cut the string off the pre-made tag and add some foam adhesive to the back.  Now tuck it next to the gold circle:

Use black twine or crochet thread to “connect” the snowflake center and the tag. Tie a bow!

That’s it, now the bag is complete!

Welcome Winter’s Butterflies Layout

Hello there! Renee here to share a non-traditional winter layout using a fun mix of Thickers for my title. I used the Jen Hadfield Warm & Cozy collection to create this page. Have you ever heard the saying, “A snowflake is winter’s butterfly”? Well, I paired up this saying with a couple of my favorite snowflake photos of my girls. My photo collage measures 6″ x 6″.

  1. I started this layout by using the Cozy Comfort pattern paper for my background. I trimmed the Checkerboard pattern paper to 9″ x 12″ and adhered it along the top of my background paper.
  2. I added a few strips of decorative Washi Tape onto my background paper.

I used my manual die-cutting machine and a die to create some butterflies for my Welcome Winter’s Butterflies layout. I used this pretty wood Die-Cut Cardstock for my butterflies.

I sprinkled my wood butterflies around the page and used my Magnetic Staple Board to attach them as well as one directly onto my photo collage.

After placing my photo collage among the wood butterflies, I combined a Word Sticker with Cozy Thickers to create my “Welcome Winter’s Butterflies” title.

I added a few fussy cut flowers…

…and stamped a date and winter phrase to finish off my page.

It wasn’t hard for me at all to use the Warm & Cozy collection with these winter photos. The colors went perfectly together. It’s beautiful, fun, and different to me!
