Chasing Adventures with Terhi – Video Tutorial

26

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles Fans!
It’s Terhi here with my first scrapbook layout using the wonderful Chasing Adventures collection. The Chasing Adventures is designed by Jen Hadfield, and I must say it is definitely my most favorite from her so far.
The rich colors and billions of flowers makes scrapbooking even easier than before, and my head is full of ideas!

This scrapbook layout is inspired by all the flowers and blooms I spied from the collection. I enjoyed fussy cutting most of them, but also used the ephemera pack to fill the page.

There are several ways to add title to match to a layout like this, all those thickers, stickers, wood veneer shapes and other, but still I wanted to cut out a piece of patterned paper to be my title. “Happy girls are the prettiest” just matched this layout of my sweet daughter so well!

Would you like to see how this layout came together? I recorded a quick step-by-step process video for you to watch, so take a cup of coffee and enjoy!
Here’s a link to the video.

Hope you’re inspired and will re-create this kind of layout. If you do, please tag me (Instagram: @terhi_koskinen) to your project so I can see your wonderful work!

Wishing you a happy Tuesday!

Rainbow Layers with Terhi

Leave a Comment

Hey there lovely Pebbles Fans! Terhi Koskinen here, wishing you the most wonderful year of 2019 and inspiring you with the lovely colors of a rainbow.

When I was going through both of the Pebbles collections revealed last fall, My Bright Life and Along the Way, I noticed how beautifully the colors of them joined together. That gave me an idea, why not to embrace the colors and create a rainbow layout!

To make sure all of the colors and patterns would be visible on the layout, I first thought about some kind of grid design. But when I was setting up my camera to film a process video, I saw the papers on the table the way I could see a little stripe of each and that really inspired me, definitely wanted to move that design to the layout.

And as you can see, all of the patterns really ended up to the layout! It was quite tricky to squeeze them all in, but I managed. As the edges of the layout are very layered, I balanced the look by leaving the photograph alone.

The same balancing theme was in my mind when I finished the layout with watercolors, I didn’t want to leave the edges all alone but again not to fill them up too much.

Hope you’ll have fun watching the video! If you any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Trick Or Treat Pumpkins Layout with Amanda!

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Welcome back for more Spooky Boo inspiration!

Amanda here, & today I am sharing my take on this week’s pumpkins theme! It’s super cute & fun!

“Trick Or Treat: Boo!”

Eeek! Isn’t this the cutest for Halloween?! Totally Spook-tacular! & just check out all those amazing pumpkins!

And here’s how easy it is to recreate this page….

1. Mount an 11″ x 11″ sheet of white cardstock onto pattern paper, Sweet Tooth.

2. Use your digital cutting machine to cut out the Paige Evans’ Pumpkin Wreath cut file in white cardstock. Back the pumpkins with pattern papers Hocus Pocus, & the reverse side of Sweet Tooth. Leave a few of the cut pumpkins ‘open’ and without any backing, too.

3. Use watercolor paints to outline a few orange & yellow circles in the center of the background, as shown above. Add a few tiny splatters for interest.

4. While the paint dries, attach your spooky Halloween photograph to the Pumpkin Wreath cut file.

5. Position wreath onto the background paper and painted circles, then glue into place.

6. Embellish the photo cluster (& bottom right quadrant of the layout) with Cardstock Shapes die cuts, and 6 x 12 Accent Stickers. You’ll spy lots of pumpkins here too!

7. Continue to embellish this quadrant with more stickers, including the fabulous Spooky Boo Puffy Stickers.

8. Use the Maggie Thickers to add a title – BOO! & add a few more Puffy Stickers for good measure!

Voila!

A really BOO-tiful Halloween memory documented, and featuring all.the.pumpkin.things!!!

Here’s a few close ups for you….

Pure pumpkin perfection!!!

I just adore the the super cute mummy and skeleton Accent Stickers here – adorable!

SO much spooky fun!

I hope I have inspired you to document your Halloween memories with our fabulous Spooky Boo! collection.

Thanks so much for visiting,

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo

Inspiration with a globe from guest blogger Zinia!

Hello everyone! Zinia here! I’m really thrilled to be a guest designer on the Pebbles blog today.

Zinia here... and I LOVE the My Bright Life Collection from Jen Hadfield!
I’m madly in love with the My Bright Life collection by Jen Hadfield and you can probably tell by the amount of product I added on my page. I intended to make a simple page with a few elements but everything was so pretty that I couldn’t stop adding more and more!

Zinia here... and I LOVE the My Bright Life Collection from Jen Hadfield!The design of my page is inspired by one of the images in the collection, a globe with flowers around it. I couldn’t resist making this the spotlight of my page but since the ephemera piece that had this globe design was pretty small, I created my own version to cover the whole page.

Zinia here... and I LOVE the My Bright Life Collection from Jen Hadfield!I started by roughly drawing a circle with a pencil and then I doodled the globe structure around it. I pulled out all the ephemera pieces with flowers and I also fussy cut a few images from various pattern papers.

Zinia here... and I LOVE the My Bright Life Collection from Jen Hadfield!In the center of my globe, I added one of the beautiful layered stickers that comes in the collection.  I started building my floral arrangement around it after that. A bunch of layers later…the floral part of my globe was ready.

Zinia here... and I LOVE the My Bright Life Collection from Jen Hadfield!
To make the design even more fun and whimsical, I decided to add some mixed media. I colored the globe skeleton with a mermaid marker by Jane Davenport. I then used a couple of Heidi Swapp Color Shine sprays to add colorful splatters all around.

Zinia here... and I LOVE the My Bright Life Collection from Jen Hadfield!
I found a little corner for my photo at the side of the globe and I also added the title right below it using the gorgeous gold thickers from this collection.

Zinia here... and I LOVE the My Bright Life Collection from Jen Hadfield!
That’s pretty much it! It’s a really fun page to make and I’m crazy in love with the way it turned out.
I really hope you enjoyed this layout and are inspired to create your own version of this floral globe.  You won’t regret it, especially when using this beautiful collection.

Zinia here... and I LOVE the My Bright Life Collection from Jen Hadfield!
