This month, the focus at Two Peas is Fall! I had so much fun mixing & matching paper & embellishments to create this card full of fresh fall colors! And… with Thanksgiving quickly approaching, fall is also a time of year when I like to send cards to express my gratitude.

Did you see this awesome blog post by Marcy Penner this week?  She has great tips on creating a craft room/storage on a budget!

1.  If you're like me & love anything with arrows, stars, & awesome text... this Technique Tuesday stamp set is for you!  It can be used for so many occasions & it's definitely one of my favorite stamp sets right now.  (My friend Teri Anderson is the awesome designer behind this Awesome stamp set!)

2.  I am a sucker for any good school-themed collection & this new Yearbook collection by Studio Calico is my favorite of all time!  The collection pack is full of awesome patterns that could be used for all occasions.  The Journal Cards are a perfect starting point for cards & are perfect for Project Life as well.  And, the wood veneer Speech Bubbles are just oozing with trendiness!

3.  The Weekender Chipboard Tiles remind me of a colorful Scrabble tile.  The color is even more gorgeous in person.

4.  I love products that can be used all year long & this black Mesh Washi tape by OA definitely fits in that category.  I love the texture!

5.  Amy Tangerine's Ready Set Go collection just makes me smile from ear to ear.  If you were a child of the 80's, you probably collected puffy stickers for your sticker book.  These tiny Cute Overload Puffy stickers are just like those, only better!  They are the perfect size for adding just a tiny bit of dimension & cuteness to your projects.  The paper leaves from the same collection are great to layer or to tuck under handmade blossoms.  I think I need about 10 packages of them!

Step Up Your Scrapbooking
Class Description:

Have you ever finished a scrapbook page only to feel that you were missing that “something special”? Perhaps you are new to scrapbooking and looking for ways to take your layouts to the next level. Or you might be an experienced scrapbooker who is feeling the loss of your scrappy mojo, and looking for ways to increase the creative appeal of your pages. Well then this is the workshop for you! 

You’ll find this class packed with surefire ways to take your layouts to the next level with a toolkit full of tried and true designer tips and tricks. The techniques outlined in each lesson are straightforward and easy to follow, but really pack a big punch in the design department. You’ll find your layouts have gone from “good” to “great” just by following a few of the design guidelines covered in this class. 

Each lesson will focus on one of five main design categories: backgrounds, photos, titles, journaling, and embellishments. With 10 lessons per chapter that’s 50 designer tips & tricks to refer back to when you’re faced with your next “what’s missing?” dilemma. A brand new, never before seen page example by Lynn (as well as some other special guest designers) accompanies each lesson to help get you started. Additionally, an informative PDF and instructional video is provided for each chapter. Each video not only reviews the lessons included in the chapter, but also features the start to finish process of one of the chapter layouts as well. 

Whether you’re an experienced scrapbooker or new to the hobby, this workshop has something for everyone. So grab your scissors, paper, and glue and let’s step up your scrapbooking!
