Happy Day Layout With Amanda & Along The Way!

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Amanda here, & today I am sharing a really beautiful layout with our adorable Along The Way collection.

With so many pretty patterns and such a delightful color scheme, it’s an absolute joy to memory keep with! And this lovely layout is both effective and super easy to recreate at home! But enough chatter, here’s my lovely page….

“Happy Day”

Oh so pretty, indeed! Clean, & contemporary design with a soft, feminine twist!

Here’s how to recreate this layout….

Start by adhering 5 tags from the Along The Way Tags pk to the right hand side of white 12″ cardstock, as shown above. I adore this sweet pack of tags and just had to feature some of them in my layouts!

Next, trim the reverse side of pattern paper Flutter (blue with polka dots print) to 3 1/4″ x 12″ and attach to the right hand side, being sure to cover the prints on the Tags.  Then, trim Flutter to 2 3/4″ x 12″, mount with foam tape and attach from the right hand side also. This creates a raised paper overlay onto the polka dots print, and looks so impressive! A great point of interest to the right side of the layout, and such a wonderful way to showcase that divine Flutter paper!

Time to create the photo cluster….

Trim the reverse side of pattern paper Flutter to 4″ x 3″, and then trim the reverse side of Window Box to 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ and glue them together. Attach another of the Tags beneath the paper layers, as shown above. Glue your smaller size photo (mine was 2″ 2 1/2″ size) & embellish with an Ephemera sentiment. I applied foam dots to the Ephemera to make sure it was easy to see against the pattern papers.

Align this photo cluster beside the center Tag on the layout, and tape into position.

Tuck a couple of Ephemera leaves into the photo cluster. Embellish over the cluster with the pretty girl Ephemera. Again, I used foam dots to ensure this adornment was easily identified.

Embellish with butterflies! I used two of the 6″ x 12″ Cardstock Stickers butterflies, as well as that gorgeous Dimensional Sticker one! So pretty!

Add a title with the gold foil Katherine Thickers, and a few tiny spots of journaling with Phrase Stickers.

Tuck a floral sticker beneath the right hand corner of the photo, and add the extra pretty girl Cardstock Sticker. For finishing touches, add the smile always heart Cardstock Sticker, a baker’s twine bow to the photo cluster tag and a scattering of pastel pink sequins.

 

Such a lovely page to document the oh so pretty person in your life!

I hope I have inspired you to get creating with the beautiful Along The Way collection!

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo

Cards of Hope With The Along The Way Collection

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Amanda here, and today I am sharing something that’s a little close to my heart; raising cancer awareness & spreading hope. These days cancer is all too well known, with most of us being affected either with the disease, or having a friend or family member suffering. It is a thing of great despair & darkness.

So let’s bring some light to those who need it most, by creating cards of Hope!

Infact, why not host a little ‘Coffee, Cake & Create’ card making session to raise money for cancer awareness? Together we can all make a difference!

Here are my cards of hope with the beautiful Along The Way collection…..

Aren’t they beautiful?!

Here’s how to recreate them……

Start by trimming pattern paper Blooms into two sections,  10″ x 7″ and 10″ x  5″. Score down the center, and fold to create 2 card bases, as shown above. One card is a larger 5″ x 7″ size, and the other is cute 5″ square card. 

Next, trim the reverse side of pattern paper Window Box to 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ and adhere to the card fronts. Cut a 4 1/2″ x 3″ strip of pattern paper Bird Seed and attach to the Window Box base of the larger card. Glue doilies to the card centers.

Select a tag or two from the Along The Way Tags pk, and embellish with a Phrase Sticker or Ephemera sentiment.

To add dimension and interest, build up your card layers with foam mounted ephemera.

Add a few stickers, & a lil more ephemera!

Looking good!

Use the pretty laurel leaves from the Kacie Thickers to add another texture, & element of interest.

Apply a sentiment at the card base with the gorgeous gold foil Anne Thickers. 

For finishing touches add a coordinating bow, and some sequins. Simple, but oh so elegant!

Cards of Hope only take a few minutes to create, but their thoughtfulness will last for months. Let’s spread the hope, and support our community! I hope my cards have inspired you to get creating and maybe even raise a little money towards cancer awareness too!

The Along The Way collection is really beautiful, and just perfect for all those special projects.

Thanks so much for visiting,

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo

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!

Fall Memory Keeping with Spooky Boo!

07

Leave a Comment

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Amanda here, & today I have a super sweet Fall themed layout to share! Created with our new Spooky Boo line, the warm tones and pretty plaids are sure to win your heart!

Here’s my layout….

“Dream Big”

Isn’t this Halloween line just perfect for Fall memory keeping?! I was totally inspired by the Falling Leaves paper, as well as the plaid patterns, and my own memories of quilting and sewing in the cooler months. I love that this fun geometric heart design has a cut file appearance, but is actually created from hand cutting!

Here’s how to recreate it….

Start by preparing the layout base. I select pattern paper Falling Leaves , and layer it with an 11″ x 11″ white cardstock background.

 

Next, select your Spooky Boo pattern papers, and then trim at least five  3″x 3″ squares. I chose papers Meow, Hocus Pocus, Hey Pumpkin & Falling Leaves for my layout.

Trim each 3 inch square into equal triangle quarters by cutting diagonally.

Take the triangles and arrange them into a geometric heart design. Play around with the patterns & design, and once happy glue into place.

Prepare your photograph. I use a layer of vintage book paper, and those super cute pumpkins from the Printed Cardstock Shapes pack. These pumpkins are actually Jack-o-Lanterns with spooky faces, so I strategically covered them with the sentiment and blooms. Perfect!

Adhere your photograph to the geometric heart.

Embellish around the photo with more Printed Cardstock Shapes, as well as that gorgeous Wood Sticker from the Jen Hadfield Patio Party collection. The inclusion of the wooden embellishment really adds to the warm, outdoorsy, Fall feel of the layout.

Add the layout title and subtitle, with the Patio Party Thickers. Again, the wooden appearance really emphasises the  Fall look.

I even add a few of the laurel leaves from the Patio Party Thickers into my photo cluster.

So simple, and yet, oh so beauti-Fall!

In keeping with the quilted look, I also embellish with buttons and sequins from my sewing box. Cute!

I add the gold stars from the Printed Cardstock Shapes pack, as well as a few tiny butterflies which I fussy cut from the barcode trim on the bottom of the Falling Leaves pattern paper.

For final touches, I use my WeRMemoryKeepers Typewriter to add a little journaling beneath my photograph.

Voila! A lovely seasonal page that’s super easy to recreate! Love it!

I hope I have inspired you to get creating with our beautiful products!
