My Dad Is Awesome | Scrapbook Page

With Father's Day coming up next weekend, I thought I would share a recent layout that I created of me and my Dad. Last year I went and spent an entire week with my Dad...just me and him. It was a great week and one that I will always treasure. One day while out riding around on the polaris, I decided to pull out my phone and snap a selfie of the two us.  I'm so glad I did, because this ended up being one of my favorite photos from the trip!

I used the Pebbles Inc Happy Day collection. Because I used a black and white photo, I choose to limit my color palette to mostly neutrals. I added pops of color with the strips of blue patterned paper and the green stars. I positioned the larger green stars and the "selfie" sticker around the photo to help draw your attention to the photo.

Best Day Ever | Lincoln's First Day

I was so excited to finally get to scrapbook a photo of Lincoln! This is the first page I've made
and I used a photo from the first day that he came home with us. It was really the best day ever!

I have been itching to use the new Pebbles Homemade collection and I pulled it out for this page. The peach matched perfectly with my shirt. I added some of the fabulous gold Thickers and gold glitter stickers! Just love this collection. I also used a new digital cut file that I created called Mini Wagon Wheels Background. I'll be sharing more about it soon!

Quick and Easy Birthday Cards | Pebbles Birthday Wishes Collection

Quick and Easy Birthday Cards Pebbles Birthday Wishes Collection Juliana Michaels
Hello and Happy Friday! I don't know about you, but I prefer to give handmade birthday cards. In fact, if I don't have time to make one, I will usually just not even give the person a card. This is terrible! To help me remedy this problem, I recently created a set of quick and easy birthday cards that I'm sharing with you today. I created them using the Pebbles Birthday Wishes collection. I just love how quickly this set of cards came together using the Journaling Cards and Cardmaking Pad. On some of the cards, I simply layered the journaling cards with scraps of patterned paper from other projects that I've created using this collection. On others, I added some of the coordinating die cuts embellishments. I then adhered them to the card base. So super quick and easy!

Along with keeping them quick and easy, I also wanted the cards to be easy to mail. With that in mind, I purposely avoided bulky embellishments. I didn't let this make the cards boring though! I used a Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pen to add a touch of bling to the journaling cards by coloring in some of the designs. It added such a nice touch of sparkle without the mess of glitter. It is a little difficult to photograph, but easily enjoyed in person!

Along with this set of quick and easy birthday cards, I also created a Birthday Calendar and Card Organizer that you can see on the Pebbles blog today. The organizer has fun pockets that I created using the Birthday Wishes Gift Bags. They easily hold several cards, so that I am always ready when I need a handmade birthday card for a friend or family member. I hope you'll take a minute to stop over and visit the Pebbles blog to check out my project!

So, do you make your birthday cards or do you buy them? Inquiring minds want to know!

Birthday Scrapbook Page Ideas | Pebbles

Make A Wish Scrapbook Page by Juliana Michaels for Pebbles Inc using Birthday Wishes

INSPIRATION | PAPER SCRAPS

I warned you, I would be sharing more birthday projects and today that is exactly what I am doing. Do you remember my recent Happy Birthday scrapbook page with the huge pink star? Well, I saved the scraps from when I cut that star out. As I was starting to pull things together to create my Make A Wish page I found that scrap and I thought "hmmm, this might be a cool background" and so that is what I used it for. I simply backed the opening with the Hip Hip Hooray striped paper and then added my photos, embellishments and journaling on top of it. 

The Pebbles Birthday Wishes collection really makes creating birthday scrapbook pages a breeze. Everything coordinates so well. I had fun using one of the elements in an unexpected way though. This collection comes with a pack of Cardstock Sticker Envelope Seals that are shiny gold and embossed with "Happy Birthday". I thought they added a perfect touch, along with one of the Birthday Wishes Buttons, to the center of the rosette stickers from the Birthday Wishes Cardstock Stickers.

I also used one of their Happy Birthday Rub Ons. They go on like butter!

Happy Birthday Scrapbook Page | Pebbles Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday Scrapbook Page by Juliana Michaels #pebblesinc #birthday #scrapbookpage

I'm warning you now, you will be seeing quite a few "birthday" scrapbook pages on my blog this month. I am officially in love with the new Pebbles Inc Birthday Wishes collection! I think this collection was made for me and the birthday photos that I have to scrap. In fact, after I write this post, I have plans to work on a new layout with it and I will of course, be sharing it soon.

This photo is of my youngest niece celebrating her 5th birthday. She wanted a Princess theme for her party, so her Mom, Grandma and myself set out to do just that. My Mom created her Princess cake and decorated it with a princess crown and wands that she found at the Dollar Store. Ava was of course, thrilled with the pinkness of it all! 

Happy Birthday Scrapbook Page by Juliana Michaels #pebblesinc #birthday #scrapbookpage

To create my layout I used a mix of the patterned papers, washi tape paper, die cuts and Thickers that come with the Birthday Wishes collection.

INSPIRATION | BIRTHDAY CAKE DECORATIONS

I was inspired to use a large pink star on the background because of the pink star wands that my Mom used to decorate the cake. I cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo.

I then layered strips from the washi tape paper and patterned paper strips to embellish the page.

I don't know about you, but these Thickers make me HAPPY!

Vellum Sequin Shaker Pocket Tutorial

Sweet 16 Happy Birthday Card by Juliana Michaels #pebblesinc #birthdaycard #vellum #sequins

Well, I have finished all of my family visits and vacations for the summer! It was a great start to the summer getting to see a lot of my family and to go on vacation. But, now it's back to the real world and work. I must say though, that it will be good to get back into a routine of some sort. We still have lots planned for the summer, but not as much traveling.


Today, I'm sharing a Sweet 16 birthday card that I created for a friend of mine. This sweet lady contacted me recently asking me to create a card for her niece who was turning 16. I don't normally create cards to sell, but this was an exception that I was happy help out with. It was almost like it was meant to be, because I had just received the new Birthday Wishes collection from Pebbles. See what I mean? It was perfect timing!!!

I began by creating a Sweet 16 cut file to use with my Silhouette Cameo. The card base is from the Pebbles Birthday Wishes Cardmaking Paper Pad. Next, I created a vellum sequin shaker pocket (TUTORIAL BELOW) and then added the cupcake die cut. Yesterday I shared a Celebrate Birthday Card that also had a vellum sequin shaker pocket. I really think I could have made a ton of these. It was so much fun making the sequin pockets and shaking them! And if you are looking for some Happy Birthday digital cut files, make sure you check out my Happy Birthday FREE Digital Cut File too.

Oh and I also added a little glitter glue to the cherry on top!

TUTORIAL | VELLUM SEQUIN SHAKER POCKET TUTORIAL


Begin by cutting two pieces of vellum to 3.75" x 5". Use your sewing machine to stitch around three of the edges. Make sure to leave one side open or you won't be able to have fun with the sequins!

Vellum Sequin Shaker Pocket Tutorial #sequins #vellum

Leave a long loose thread on each side of the pocket. You will use this later to help close the pocket.

Next, fill the pocket with sequins. Make sure you don't add to many sequins. I know it's tempting, but more is not necessarily better in this case! You want the pocket to lay flat with the sequins inside, even when you turn it and the sequins move around.

After finish having fun adding the sequins, return to your sewing machine and stitch the open edge closed. Take the loose threads and tie them into a knot and trim the excess close to the tied knot. This will help secure the stitching. Now your pocket is complete and ready to be added to your project.
