Pebbles - hello, blue eyes

Hi everybody!  I have a new layout to share up on the Pebbles blog using the just released collection - Family Ties.  This is a wonderful family themed collection, but can also be used for everyday scrapping as well.  I absolutely love the colors in this collection - blue, green, yellow, and brown.  They combine wonderfully together and are just so vibrant and easy to work with.

This is my adorable nephew Eli.  Tell me he does not have the most amazing blue eyes and curly blonde hair.  He is such a little cutie!  I took this picture during our annual family vacation in Ocean City this past July.  I was trying so hard to get him to smile but he was just having none of it, so I settled on snapping whatever photos I could of him.  He's still pretty stinkin' cute, smile or no smile.  ;)

I used a pin from Basic Grey (that matches this collection perfectly btw) to pop up my "hello" banner for my title and these great new Thickers in Robin's Egg blue.  The collection has two new fonts - one capital and one lowercase - and each font comes in 3 different colors.  For Thickers fanatics like myself (yes, I fully admit I am addicted! LOL) this is music to your ears.

Pebbles came out with another set of Quote and Journarling card books with this collection.  LOVED these when they first appeared in the Seen & Noted collection.  LOVE them even more now.  I used one to write some of journaling.  I simply typed up my journaling in my word processing program and printed it out, adhered my card over my journaling, and ran it through my printer again.  Easy peasy.

A few stickers here and there that I adorned with enamel dots from My Minds Eye and some paper banners and this layout is complete!  Thanks for stopping by!  :)

PageMaps and Pebbles - Video Share!

Happy Monday everyone!  Today I am sharing a fun layout and video I created for the October PageMaps release.  If you're not familiar with PageMaps (and the fabulous Becky Fleck) I suggest you run (not walk! LOL) over to the PageMaps website to see what it's all about.  While you're there check out the other page samples for the month of October created by several of my Pebbles teammates.  Here's a look at the sketch I worked with as well as my layout ...

I used the fabulous new Seen & Noted collection by Pebbles for this layout.  The colors in this collection are so cheerful and perfect for so many different themes.  I converted my photo to black & white and used a die cut to house several different patterned papers within my layout design.  I had fun with the circular Silhouette shape I cut and layered on my background, filling the different circles with various patterned papers, and embellishing with stickers. 

I also cut my title with my Silhouette in coordinating grey cardstock and embellished the "o" in "photo" with a cardstock sticker for a sweet little pop of color.  I used an enamel dot from My Minds Eye to add a little detail and dimension to the heart, as well as on a few other places around my layout since the colors seemed to match this collection perfectly.

The Seen & Noted collection had lots of great embellishments and coordinating products including the tag and pocket I used to house my journaling.  I printed my journaling on the tag and added an Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday stamped phrase in red for a punch of color. 

Here's the video I created to go along with this layout.  ENJOY!

Pebbles - Hip Hip Hooray

Happy Saturday everyone!  I'm playing a little bit of catch up here on my blog.  I've been so busy working on various projects and assignments that my poor lil blog has been neglected.  Hoping to remedy that soon!

Today I'm sharing a layout I created using the fantastic Hip Hip Hooray collection from Pebbles.  I simply LOVE this collection.  Hands down my favorite from their recent releases.  It is so bright and fun.  And just screams happy to me.  For this layout I decided to scrap a photo of my sweet niece Gia.  This photo was taken at our local arboretum right before she turned one last July.

I cut the circle border using my Silhouette and backed it with lots of different patterns from the collection.  I added different embellishments here and there, used the fantastic glitter letters to spell out my title, and finished everything off with a sprinkling of sequin candy dots (my new love!).  Here are some detail images of my layout ...

Thanks so much for stopping by!  BTW I still have a few more scrap goodie boxes available for sale.  If you're interested send me an email at lghahary(at)cevant(dot)com.  Enjoy your weekend!  :)
