4th of July Fun Scrapbook Page Juliana Michaels Pebbles Americana
I know it's not the 4th of July yet, but as soon as I saw the Americana collection by Pebbles I knew that it would be perfect to scrapbook some photos from last year when we went to visit my BIL and his family in Florida. While we were there we celebrated the 4th with them. This photo is my great niece with my DH and she was all dolled up and ready for some 4th of July fun!

I did a lot of fussy cutting (Pebbles Americana Liberty) to create the flower clusters, but I like how they add a feminine touch to page. The background shape was done on a whim. It was originally a 9x10 piece of paper that I was going to use behind the photo, but it felt so boring, so I cut it into these random geometric shapes. Next, I added some machine stitching to the edges to give it a quilted feel. The funny thing is that after I took the photo and posted it on my blog, I thought it looked kind of like a firework exploding. What do you think?

Hoot! Hoot! Happy Graduation!

Owl Happy Graduation Gift Card Holder by Juliana Michaels for SRM Stickers

It's nearly the end of the school year and I have several family members who will be graduating from high school very soon. I knew that some sort of gift card holder was in store, because what teenager doesn't love a gift card? Right?! Today, I'm up on the SRM Stickers blog with a set of Owl Graduation Gift Card Holders that I made using the SRM new Graduation DIY Kit. I used the Graduation Owl by Lori Whitlock cut file from the Silhouette Online Store to create the owl. It is super easy to make the owl the school colors for your graduate and this adds a little personal touch to the gift box. I'd love for you to stop by the SRM Stickers blog to check out all the details and see the different colors I made.

Hello Butterfly Cards

Butterfly Cards Pebbles Inc Garden Party Collection by Juliana Michaels

Spring is here and with it comes the return of butterflies. One of the few insects that I just love! Today, I have a couple of butterfly cards to share with you using these fabulous 3D butterfly stickers from the Pebbles Inc Garden Party collection.

Hello Butterfly Card Pebbles Inc Garden Party Collection by Juliana Michaels

I just love the fan folded look of these and the wire antenna! So much texture and dimension. To dress them up a little more, I added the Pebbles Basics Glitter Candy Dots. I don't believe these are available anymore, but any bling would work. And if you don't have glittered ones, maybe try adding some with a bit of Ranger Glossy Accents and glitter!

I thought it would be nice to add a sentiment to the inside of the card as well. It is a die cut from the Garden Party Die Cut Cardstock Shapes pack that I trimmed into a banner shape and then layered with a scrap of patterned paper.

I created the floral background behind the butterfly using a couple of die cuts from the Garden Party Die Cut Cardstock Shapes pack as well. I cut them apart and arranged them on the background so that you could still read the "Hello" sentiment and in a way that once the butterfly was positioned on top of them you couldn't see the chop job!

This is another butterfly card I created using the same ideas as I shared above for the butterfly, inside sentiment and floral background behind the butterfly.

BoBunny's Our Lil' Monster Scrapbook Page

Mommy's Little Monster Scrapbook Page by Juliana Michaels using BoBunny's Our Lil' Monster collection
BoBunny's Our Lil' Monster collection is definitely perfect for all your boy scrapbook pages and projects, but when I first saw it, I knew it would be perfect to scrap some photos of my nieces making their silly, crazy faces. Invariably when I want to take a picture of them, they strike one of these crazy face poses. So, I take what I can get sometimes! By using this collection with my niece's photos, I think it really shows the versatility of this collection.

I also created another scrapbook page - Rawr - with a photo of my other niece with her best monster face and it is up on the BoBunny Blog today, so I hope you hop over and check it out. I'm sure you'll be inspired by the other scrapbook pages you see while you're there that were created by my fellow design team members, Ulrika and Megan!

Look closely here, and you can see that I added glitter glue to the letters on this sticker. I wanted to add a little bling to the layout.

I fussy cut the red monster and yellow monster head from the Our Lil' Monster Adventure patterned paper. I wanted to add a few of the monsters to the layout as embellishments and I had used all of the die cut monsters from the Noteworthy pack on the other layout that I have up on the BoBunny blog today. This was a simple solution and to me there is something enjoyable about fussy cutting paper!

To further embellish the layout, I layered the fussy cut monsters with a monster from the 12x12 Chipboard. I dressed him up with a pair of black jewels for eye balls. The border along the right hand side is a combination of Noteworthy die cuts, 12 x 12 Chipboard and Jewels.

Again, I used the glitter glue on the letters of this chipboard piece to help carry a little sparkle through the page design. 

Overall, I really loved working with this collection and I loved that it worked perfectly for photos of little girls. This collection is definitely not just for the boys!
