Fun Times with Terhi

Jan

Hi everyone, it’s Terhi here again!
When you start creating a scrapbook page, which is leading you: the photograph or the products?

For me this answer is simple.
The photographs and the memories. And I must admit sometimes I can’t stop myself from saving a precious photo as long as I find the right supplies for it.
However, this time the process of creating started started very differently, when I saw the most inspiring cut file ever.
*The cut file is from Paige Evans

The beautiful circle design kind of funny one and as I love backing cut files I thought it would be wonderful to use the cut file as a colour wheel, with the brightest colors I could find. So I did and I found, all thanks to Pebbles.
I used patterned papers from “Happy Cake Day” line and created four coloured colour wheel for the background of the page.
I had four selfies waiting for the perfect products to scrapbook with, and I love the way black and white photos goes with colourful design.
Also, these selfies aren’t very seriously taken and the story behind tells about how much we all laugh together, so all the colors and design supports the theme.

Once I was ready with the background, I dived in to my scraps and found lots of colourful blooms to decorate the page. All from Pebbles of course, from the lines below:
Big Top Dreams
Chasing Adventures
This is Family
Heart of Home
I cut out as much flowers and blooms as possible and layered the flowers to make them more dimensional. To create the flowers I followed my own tutorial from last fall, please watch it here from my YouTube channel.

To finish this colourful and fun layout I added the photographs vertically in the middle and wrote a small title with thickers from Big Top Dreams.

Inspiring? Hope so! Let me know what you think by writing a comment below. I’ll be here reading them while I’m waiting to see the new lines from Pebbles arrive at my house.

Hey all!
It’s Terhi here. Before going to my scrapbook layout, I need to make sure you saw the post here from yesterday? New releases are here!
I can’t wait to see all!

This layout is made with Happy Cake Day. As you can see, as good as it is with making cards it’s also perfect for scrapbooking.

The layout tells about my thoughts, goals and ideas for the year 2020. I don’t do New Year’s resolutions as such, but I like to think and dream all that I might see and do during the new year.
As many times before, I’ve written the journaling to the backside of the layout this time too. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to see anything other than the text! Scrapbook layouts I do for myself about myself are always going to separate album, which is like a huge diary for me.
Now that I have written my goals and thoughts down, I can go back and see how it all went after this year is over.

I created the layout with only couple patterned papers and few embellishments. The rolled flowers are always a good idea, as they give so much depth for the layout. And surely the green leaves goes well with the flowers.

As there’s quite much height difference between the background and rolled flowers, I added couple strings of thick cotton thread to make it look better. This is also a reason why I used more foam dots than glue.

I wish your 2020 is bright and colourful!

Merry Little Christmas with Terhi

Hello Pebbles Fans, it’s Terhi here with another cheerful Christmas layout.
Just as I told you in my previous post (link here), I’m super excited about the upcoming holiday time. As I can’t be decorating and preparing our home for Christmas, I’ve been focusing on Christmas scrapbooking which I’ve usually almost skipped for numerous reasons.

After the last layout I made, I had all the Merry Little Christmas leftovers laying on the table and I couldn’t stop myself from creating another. To make this layout much more dimensional, I created the lovely layered flowers.

Both the flowers and the wreath are cut with my electronic cutting machine, and as usual I’ve picked the cut files free from charge from the endless world of internet. I guess the flowers aren’t anything like poinsettias, but the color scheme will keep the layout tightly on the Christmas theme.

After cutting the petals were attached to each other. This time I chose to use foam dots instead of glue to give the flowers as much dimension as possible. I also used my fingers to curl, wrinkle and fold the petals to give them a good and pretty look.

Finally I finished the layout with couple of embellishments, and by adding the title on the photograph.

Hope you are inspired by this!

Documenting Christmas Joy with Terhi

Hey Pebbles Fans, are you ready for Christmas?
I AM!
Can’t wait the lights, can’t wait the ginger breads, the chocolate, the tree… Oh, I’m ready for all. But more than anything else, I’m waiting for giving gifts.

This layout was inspired by my passion to give gifts and there’s a very long story behind the picture. As this post would grow way too long if I’d tell the whole story now, I’ll just say I didn’t know I was taking such precious pics when I took these shots couple Christmases ago and will focus now only for the scrapbooking part.
And literally the story IS behind the pic, I couldn’t fit it on the page so it’s written to the backside of the layout.

Last time I created a small Christmas mini book and today I’m using Merry Little Christmas, too. The mini book was easy to make, but trust me this layout is even easier!

Instead of using electricity or any other cutting machines, I created the background of this layout by punching away with one simple star punch. One star is about 1″ wide, so I punched a lot of stars. I used all green-ish patterned papers from Merry Little Christmas line and simply adhered the stars on white cardstock with foam dots.

Then, to give the layout some texture I added some thread on top, again keeping the tones on green. And then on top the photographs. First I was adding only the biggest photo, but soon I thought why not to add a row of smaller pics too. Seeing more faces of my sweet little girl makes the whole Christmas happiness even bigger!

Last phase of the creation process was to add watercolour drops here and there, a title and some embellishments.
Can’t wait to see what this Christmas brings!

Happy Cake Day with Terhi

Hello everyone! It’s Terhi here with a scrapbook layout made with Happy Cake Day collection! I can’t describe how much I adore the bright and crisp colors this line has. As well as all the balloons, cupcakes, candles and so much more! All so fun and pretty! Instead of picking one or two colors to work with, I added them all to this one layout and it was so fun to do!

Happy Cake Day can be used to all kind of celebrations and everything around parties. For cards, invitations, party decor and of course memory keeping. My younger daughter turned nine just couple weeks ago, and scrapbooking her balloon photos was a true joy with this lovely line!

To make interesting and very large title, I used my electronic cutting machine and cut out a phrase matching perfectly to the birthday theme. The cut file is from Paige Evans, here’s a link to her Facebook group called Happy Scrappy Place from where you can download some cut files for free.

All the letters are backed with different patterned papers. All the Happy Cake Day patterned papers are so pretty! There’s one more patterned paper behind the whole phrase, and only couple carefully chose embellishments next to the photos. I’ve noticed that if you have a title as big as the background, it’s better to keep other elements small.

The Happy Cake Day Puffy Phrase Thickers are great to give your creative project some extra texture. I added couple words to my layout, and continued with other puffy stickers to finish the look.
Hope you are inspired by this!
