Pebbles National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop!

Pebbles is participating in National Scrapbook Day with a blog hop!  You can see layouts from nearly the entire design team today by starting at their blog and hopping around.

www.pebblesincblog.com

I chose to do a layout using the new "Special Delivery" collection, but with a twist.

I was inspired by the "Daddy's Girl" paper in the collection, which features a five generation genealogy sheet.  I thought it would be so much fun to feature five generations of women in my family, and the light pinks complement the theme.

Keep hopping along for more fun!

National Scrapbook Day- Bella Blvd "All About Me" layout (and blog hop!)

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

Bella Blvd is having an all-day celebration with posts featuring layouts from the entire design team every hour!  Here's mine:

I used a mix of two of Bella Blvd's newest collections:  Summer Squeeze and Sprinkles!

Super fun, graphic, bright and happy collections.

We were asked do create "all about me" layouts, and answer questions about ourselves that you can find on the Bella Blvd blog all day long.

Check out the rest of the fun at bellablvd.typepad.com

Pebbles Baby Girl Layout

Here's another Pebbles "Special Delivery" layout I did this month.  This one uses the baby girl items from the collection.

I added machine stitching around the edges, and cute die-cuts, thickers (with glitter!) and page pebbles.

The little bow clips are darling!

Pebbles "Special Delivery" Baby Boy Layouts

This month, since I'm expecting a baby, I decided to start catching up on my other children's baby scrapbook pages.  Here are two of my boys' layouts.  I'll show you my girl layout in a few days when it's on the Pebbles blog.

I used the "Special Delivery" boy collection for these pages.  The tags and banners and die cuts were already cut and come in a pack full of other adorable die cuts.

The Thickers letter stickers in this collection are some of my absolute favorites.

This patterned paper reminded me of a quilt, so I machine stitched it on all the borders to make it look like it's quilted.  

The animal die cuts are from the same die cut pack.  There are also lots of stickers from the Accent and Phrase Stickers sheets.

Here's a good close up shot of the Thickers.  Aren't they great?  I love them.

Thanks for visiting!

Pebbles "Yours Truly" Layout

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope yours was as fabulous as mine, with loved ones, and lots of treats.

This layout was on the Pebbles blog last week.  A pretty easy layout, which uses 6x6 paper sheets to make it quick.

I used the tags pack and stickers (chipboard and paper) and a Lifestyle Crafts die to cut the doily.

I misted the doily with a Mr. Huey's mist.

The stickers were applied using dimensional adhesive.

Thanks for visiting!

Doodlebug Holiday Traditions Layout- "Apples"

Our family has a lot of holiday traditions, we always to fondue on Christmas Eve, we go to a certain park with lights every year, we go to Temple Square to see the choir and the magnificent lights and scenes, and we always, always, always make our now "famous" caramel apples!

We've been making these since 2006, and we usually do them with my side of the family and the kids and cousins (and eat them all ourselves) and then later on, my husband and I have made it a tradition to make these for the neighbors- the cinnamon-sugar version.

The ones in the photos are mostly ones made by the kiddos, but the white chocolate cinnamon-sugar ones have become a perfected art, are very time consuming, and we only settle for perfect (or close to perfect) looking ones for our neighbors and friends.  It's so much fun!

What are some of your holiday traditions?

Pebbles Layout- "So Many Smiles Begin With You"

As you can see, I've been using the "From Me To You" collection a lot lately.  I am so in love with this beautiful collection.  I love the colors, the soft delicate details, the chalkboard  elements, and the beautiful stickers and photo frames.

These butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart butterfly punch.  Notice the cute little typewriter?  It's chipboard, and it one of my favorite embellishments from this collection.

These Thickers are "Kenzie" font, Gumball color.  They actually match better than the photo implies.

I love the chipboard embellishments.  This chalkboard frame and the flowers are both from the Chips pack of chipboard.

And these "LOVE" stickers are lovely.  Notice the photo frame overlay?  These come in a pack of various styles and sizes and make your photos pop.

Doodlebug Fall Wreath and Thankful Layout

This wreath should appear sometime on the Doodlebug Blog, but for now, I thought I'd show you since we're leaving the fall season and entering winter.

The wreath was done by cutting various shaped and sized leaves from my Silhouette Cameo using Doodlebug's Happy Harvest collection.

The leaves were then scored with my Scor-Pal to make them more life-like

And then folded to create dimension

I used grapevine to make the wreath base.  You can either make the wreath this way, by wrapping it in a circle and then tying it with craft (floral) wire, 

Or they do make grapevine wreaths already done for you.  I just had grapevine on hand already so that's what I used.  It's a bit difficult to work with and makes a huge mess, so do it outside.

The leaves were all adhered using a glue gun.

And the banner was also cut with the Cameo.  The font is Times New Roman.

I also made this layout for the blog, and since yesterday was Thanksgiving, I wanted to thank you all for being such great supporters of my blog and my work.  I love having great comments and emails from readers.

Thank you!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends!

I'm so thankful for all of you!

Doodlebug Pixies-Halloween Layout

The Doodlebug Design Team was challenged to use the new Pixies embellishments in a new way.

Pixies come with sticks and toppers in a pack, and are meant to be used like I used them in the bottom left corner, but they can also be used in a lot of other creative ways.

I chose to use them to make a black spiderweb, and I used Beetle Black Doodle Twine to complete the effect.  I used Crystal Effects adhesive but you can use any liquid adhesive like Zip Dry as well.

I used the Halloween Parade collection, and the new stickers and Doodads.

I think I've used Doodads on almost all of my new Doodlebug Projects.

These are fun new embellishments!  They add fun texture and dimension to your projects!

Goofball! A Doodlebug Layout

This is my adorable little boy who has the most entertaining personality on the planet.

He posed for these pictures three years ago, and I've been waiting to figure out what to do with them all.

It's so funny that these glasses actually fit on the picture :)

It fits his goofy personality perfectly.

The "Day to Day" collection by Doodlebug has the most fun little embellishments called "Pixies."

I am so excited to do a party with these things, and use them as food toppers.

But they're great for papercrafting and anything else you'd want to do with them.

I love them on cards.

And my other favorite embellishments are these adorable little "Doodads."

They're buttons, that actually have a pin on the back, so you could wear them if you wanted to!

Check out the Day to Day collection.

You'll love the bright colors, and fun cameras, eyeglasses, mustaches, and people.

It's just plain cute :)
