Pebbles: Cards of Hope with the Along The Way collection!

Hi Friends!

Welcome back for more Pebbles inspiration!

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,

Pebbles: Land That I Love 15 Minute Make!

Hi Friends!

Welcome back for a little Pebbles inspiration!

Today I am sharing a super quick but oh so stunning, scrapbook layout with the gorgeous

Land That I Love collection!

I was so excited when I read this week's theme for the blog - 15 minute craft ideas!

I set my timer and challenged myself with this one! Here's what I created....

"Happy"

Oh isn't this gorgeous?!!

I know, how did I make this in 15 minutes? Let me tell you......

Start by fussy cutting approximately one third of pattern paper, PATRIOTIC BLOSSOMS. I'm not going to lie, this took me a solid 7 minutes, but the rest of the layout is so quick it can still be created in the 15 minute time frame. If you're a slower fussy cutter you may want to prepare your cut blossoms a day before ;)

While your trusty scissors are handy, trim the reverse side of pattern paper HAPPY 4TH! The size is 2" x 12" and be sure to include the red gingham pattern strip at the base of the paper.

Attach the 2" trim to the left hand side of a 12" x 12" white cardstock base. Glue a 12" length of delicate white lace over the paper join - as shown above. While it's adhering, prepare your photograph!

Back your photo with a PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPES blossom & a lace doily. This doily will act as a circular guide for the fussy cut wreath. Line up your photo with the center of the trim and stick down with foam dots.

Arrange fussy cut blossoms in the wreath design, leaving two 'breaks' in the wreath. When happy, glue into place.

Fill those wreath 'breaks' with PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPES and 6 x 12 ACCENT STICKERS birds.

Embellish the blossoms wreath with PUFFY STICKERS: RED, WHITE & BLUE DOTS.....

Apply 6 x 12 blossom ACCENT STICKERS to the top and bottom right hand corners of the layout. Add a Thickers title (happy) and for finishing touches, add tiny silver Thickers stars to the wreath.

Sigh! SO preeeeeeetty!

Here's a few close ups for you.....

The lace really adds a soft touch to this crisp color scheme!

Those silver America Thickers are just fabulous! SO cool!

And there you have it!

Simple, sweet and in my album in just 15 minutes! Yessss!

Memory keeping doesn't need to take you hours.

I urge you to give this super quick layout design a try!

Pebbles: Documenting Summer - Patio Party Style!

Hi Creative Friends!

Welcome back to the Happy Arty Days blog!

Today I am sharing the Pebbles love, and a little tutorial on how I am documenting our Summer memories with the gorgeous Patio Party collection from Jen Hadfield!

It's no secret that I am an enormous fan of Jen's designs, and Patio Party has my heart!

All those bright colors just scream Summer FUN!

Here's what I've created for today's post.....

"Hello Sunshine"

Oh isn't this sweet for Summer?!!

Hearts, tropical colors, flamingos and pretty blooms!

Summer Lovin' at it's best!

And better still, it's really easy for you to recreate!

Here's how....

To get started you'll need pattern paper, Citrus Sweet (reverse side, with the stripes) , white cardstock, Patio Party Thickers, and a heart cut file or die cut.

The one I've used today is called Hello Hearts from The Cut Shoppe (get it HERE) , but you could even fussy cut your own hearts out.

You'll also need pattern paper Panels, and the 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

Trim your white cardstock to 11" x 11" and attach to that gorgeous striped paper.

The stripes on the reverse side of Citrus Sweet are so bright and just give me that happy Summer vibe!

Back your heart cut file with papers from the 6x6 Paper Pad, and the pattern paper called Panels.

It's important to include the woodgrain paper, as it compliments the Patio Party Thickers and creates balance on the page.

Glue your paper pieced cut file to the center of you layout, and then position the Thickers title into place - as shown above.

As I am documenting a Summer memory of my darling girl, Hello Sunshine was a perfect title choice. However, if this doesn't suit your needs, don't worry! There are so many other words and title options in this set of Thickers I'm sure you'll find something that works best!

Now it's time to prepare your Summer photograph!

For this layout, I've used a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" photo.

Using papers from the 6 x 6 Paper Pad, I trim two patterns to 2 3/4" x 3 3/4", and layer them beneath my photograph.

I attach a flamingo and blooms ephemera, before adhering it to my page.

Time to have some fun with embellishing!

I start by adding that Best Day Ever Wood Sticker to the top left hand side of my page, and popping a 6 x 12 Accent Stickers bloom beneath it. I also create a few embellishment clusters around my photo, using Ephemera, Accent Stickers and Dimensional Stickers. I add 2 more flamingos, to adorn the Sunshine element of my title, and a few more blooms scattered on my hearts. Oh, and don't forget those 3 super cute buzzy bee stickers - So cute!

If you love a really 'clean' layout, then this is complete!

But if you just need a lil more pop color for your Summer themes, then see below....
