"Birthday Wishes"


Eeeep! Isn't this the cutest!!!
I have used the super bright and fun, Pebbles Happy Hooray collection - LOVE it!

When it comes to buying #allthethings I may have issues! 
Why on earth did I buy that Cake Topper Set when I don't get time to bake?!! LOL!
Well never fear, I used it, as well as some party straws, to create my layout today! 
And I have to say, I am pretty pleased with how this page came together.
Here's a closer view for you.....


Oh this just screams PARTY time!!! SO cute! 
I've created an adorable lil party scene around my birthday boys photo!
I use pattern paper Party Animal and my Fringe Scissors to create the appearance of grass, and then I  proceed to build the 'scene' up. 
The Die Cut party animals in the grass are the cutest! 


I insert my Cake Toppers Happy Hooray skewers into my paper straws, so they no longer look like cake decorations, and I apply the banner too! 
Who would've thought the Cake Toppers would be perfect for a layout?!!
I fussy cut some sprinkle clouds from pattern paper, Sprinkles On Top, and add Puffy Icon Sticker balloons to the 'sky'. SO cool!


A few more Ephemera Die Cuts & embellishments complete my Happy Birthday page!


Cuteness overload!
Such a bright and fun collection for documenting those celebrations with!
Absolutely adorable!

I hope you feel inspired by my colorful creation!

Pebbles: New Year's Resolutions with Happy Hooray!




Hi Paper Loving Friends!
 I trust that you all had a very Merry Christmas and are now preparing for all the New Year festivities! 
One of my resolutions this year is to inspire my daughter with a new scrapbook album that offers inspiration, affirmations and general messages for strength and gratitude. For the first page of her album, I wanted to remind her of her own resolutions for the year; to be brave, live fully and be bold!

The Pebbles Happy Hooray collection is so bright, and playful, and just perfect for this happy message layout!


Isn't this fabulous?! Live (color)fully, I say!
I begin my layout with that fabulous diagonal stripe paper, Rainbowtastic! I trim this paper to the 8 1/2 inch by 11 inch size, and then cut my white cardstock to 7 1/2 inch by 10 inch. Before I attach the two sheets together, I use the Silhouette Cameo Sketch Pens to draw my title in pink ink. 
I then hand colour my sketch pen title with watercolor paints, which I try to color match with the patterned paper. I add a gentle flick of pink and blue paint for interest. 
Once dry, I use my sewing machine to stitch the cardstock to the pattern paper.


I embellish the top of my layout with the Thicker Stickers banners, as well as that super cute Die Cut speech bubble! And decorate the title with a couple Die Cut stars.


My photo is 2 1/2 inch by 3 inch size, and is mounted onto pattern papers, Beary Sweet and Eat Cake. I partially secure it down with a strip of the rainbow striped Happy Hooray Washi Tape, and use my favourite Sticky Thumb Marathon Runner tape to finish the job.
 Foam Dots are added to my sentiment Die Cut, and positioned onto my photograph as a subtitle. Celebrate life! 
And nothing says celebrate more than scattered confetti sprinkles!
 (aren't those Enamel Sprinkle Stickers the best?!!!) 
My final touch is to use my Typecast Typewriter to print my 'be bold' sentiment. Perfect!


Such a beautiful page for my darling daughter! I hope it has inspired you to start thinking of your resolutions for 2018, and how to document them.

Happy New Year!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pebbles: Happy Hooray, It's Christmas!




Hi Friends!

I am SO excited to be sharing my first official Design Team project for Pebbles with you today!
  When I received my Pebbles Design Team kit I was delighted to find the Happy Hooray collection - perfect for all our birthday celebrations! 
Then, before I could consider creating, it dawned on me that it's only 3 days til Christmas?!! 
Oh me, oh my! Not to mention, I needed a last minute Christmas gift?!
Never fear! Pebbles collections are always super versatile and I just love to get creative!
Happy Hooray it's Christmas!
I had an American Crafts mini clipboard in my stash, and decided to alter it in Festive fashion.....


Oh isn't this the sweetest last minute Christmas gift?!
& because it is 'last minute' it's super quick and easy to put together.
I cut a few pattern paper strips, and scallop border punch one side.....


Concertina fold each scallop, and hot glue the two ends together to create my own paper rosettes.
Tip: I like to add a lil extra hot glue in the rosette centers to really hold them in place.


Embellish the rosettes with buttons, bows and those fabulous gold foil stickers from the Jen Hadfield Sticker Book.
 

Voila! The perfect adornment for cards, tags, and in my case, an altered clipboard!


Add a couple of white die cut or cut file snowflakes, and attach to clipboard.
Clip on your Christmas message, or favorite Festive photograph, & add a couple more of those sweet stickers.
For finishing touches add a few ribbons, twine or even lace bows to soften the clipboard.


And there you have it!
A super quick Christmas gift with the Happy Hooray collection!
I hope you'll give this quick craft a try!
Merry Christmas!

Happy Arty Days,
