Cooking Layout ft Along the Way

Mar

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today showing you how to create a Cooking Layout using supplies from the Along The Way line.

The Along the Way collection by @pebblesinc is perfect to record your recipes and cooking adventures! PC: @evapizarrov

My husband is from Italy and his family has many cooking traditions, one of them is making “Passata” or tomato sauce and “antipasto” that are vegetables cooked on tomato sauce. Every year we spend 1 or 2 whole days making preserves for the winter. This year we cooked more than 180 lbs of tomatoes! we were exhausted but it was totally worth it!

To create this layout I began with the cut file “The secret ingredient is always love”, because I thought it was perfect to document this memory, and backed the letters with the lovely papers from the Along The Way line.

Once I was done with my title I added my picture.

The final step was adding embellishments. I used a mix of stickers and die cuts and created two clusters on top and on the bottom of the layout.

I even included some fruit stickers to my clusters and a spoon with a paper strap attached to my picture.

This layout was very easy and quick! I love documenting our family traditions, do you scrapbook some of yours?

Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a great weekend!

Let’s party with Bigtop Dreams collection !

Hello friends it’s Lucile ! I find you to create cards to organize a party! What’s better than the new Bigtop Dreams collection for the occasion? It’s perfect for your party, birthday or other cards. I love the bright colors and cute characters around the circus theme.

Today, I propose to make two easy cards with rosettes paper. To achieve them it’s very simple: you cut a strip of paper that you fold accordion then you paste the ends to achieve a circle. You can find the full video tutorial at the end of the article.

To make the first card, I started by making a frame with a blue paper from the collection. Then I created several rosettes of different sizes in different papers in red and yellow tones. Then I arranged them to make a diagonal. In the center, I added die cuts to decorate my card. I ended up adding stars.

I glued my rosettes on each other to give a volume effect to my card. For that I used my glue gun and 3D foams.

To make the second card, I used the same blue paper as the first card to make the background. Then I made a rosette but I made only half for glued in an arc on the top of my card. Then I add my message and a die cuts that I love! I ended up adding stars.

I hope these cards will please you and that you will want to create with the collection Bigtop Dreams. We find ourselves very quickly for a new creation. See you soon !

How are we 2 months into the year?? Time doesn’t seem to slow down…and probably won’t for the near future. With this in mind, we are hoping to keep our challenges fun, easy and approachable because we want to hear from you!

Are you ready for a new challenge? The theme for March is “luck”. Whether you believer in luck, karma or blessings – there is something awesome in the universe that blesses us all. We want to celebrate that in this challenge by inviting you to create a project that is centered around luck (and all it’s possibilities). It could be directly related to the “luck of the Iris” (aka St. Patricks Day), it could be a wish of luck for others or it could speak more to the luck (and blessing) of being a parent, friend, daughter or son. Here are just 2 quick examples that show this idea quite nicely:

So…what will you make? We can’t wait to see! Submissions should be emailed to pbsocial@americancrafts.com by 11:59pm, March 18th. We will then post them on our Facebook page for all to see. Winners will be selected on March 28th.

Ready?? We can’t wait to hear from you!

It’s Not The Destination – Chasing Adventures

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I am so excited to be sharing a layout I created with the awesome Chasing Adventures collection by Jen Hadfield. This is such a fun collection! Perfect for capturing your adventures whatever they may be. I wanted to create a title page in my European vacation album that included some photos from all the destinations we visited on our recent vacation to Europe; London, Paris, Munich, and Berlin. Here is what I came up with…

I found this digital cut file in the HQ digital art Etsy store and was instantly drawn to it. I imaginied a layout with rays of photos and pattern papers emanating from the center. The quote in the middle works well for my title. I embellished around the title with one of the cute travel girl die cut ephemera pieces and puffy stickers.

To make the title pop more against all the pattern papers, I used a little bit of gesso underneath it and extended this onto my photos. This allowed me to add the names of the cities right on top of the photos. I then used some of the transparent sticker geo location icons near the names of the cities to draw attention to them.

Circling the title are some airplanes, one of these is from the pack of puffy stickers and another from the die cut pack. To create more movement, I added some dashed lines and arrow puffy stickers.
