Welcome to the Gardeners' Digest, a monthly update from the Garden Girls, the design team at Two Peas In a Bucket!
You can begin your hop at the Two Peas blog, where you'll find a complete list of all of the Garden Girls participating.
My best friend is about to send her youngest to Kindergarten & I thought this would be a fun card for her. I know she's looking forward to having a few hours to herself. ;) |
I covered the chipboard tab with washi tape & added a bit more to the bottom of my card. Shaped paper clips are a great embellishment for school-themed cards as well.
The new exclusive Studio Calico stamp set has a really cool frame that works perfectly with photographs. I took this Instagram photo, printed & trimmed it to size.
You can find more information as well as a complete source for supplies here.
This month Two Peas is featuring a Back to School theme - complete with product picks, challenges & inspiration from the Garden Girls. I love this season & was really inspired by it all!

1. Ormolu Fabric Tags: It was hard for me to pick a favorite from the new Tag Sale collection... but these fabric tags definitely top my list of faves! The designs are so fresh & fun & I LOVE the texture the fabric gives to any project.
2. Hero Arts Inks: I am a big fan of these ink pads and they just released several new colors that I need to add to my stash! The Neon inks are amazing as well.
3. Studio Calico Wood Veneer: I just can't get enough of these & they always fly off of the shelves. They were just restocked at Two Peas, so make sure to grab some yourself. :)
4. Elle's Studio Stamps: The summer release just popped up in the store & I am going nuts over the new stamps! How perfect would this be for layouts or Project Life?!?
5. Studio Calico FabRips: I used this aqua adhesive-backed FabRip on my Lawn Fawn journal this week. It's the perfect book binding, making handmade gifts a breeze!
How would you like to win a spot in the new Words Unsaid mini workshop by Jen Gallacher?!? Leave a comment on this post (you MUST include your Two Peas username!!!) and I'll chose a winner on Monday, August 27th.
"Words Unsaid" Class Description:
Memories fade quickly and making sure we include all our stories within our scrapbooks can seem daunting. In this Mini Workshop, Garden Girl Jen Gallacher shares her approach for meaningful journaling. Jen is a dedicated journal keeper and has kept personal journals for over 30 years (ever since she was old enough to write). Now she combines her love of record keeping with scrapbooking! This journaling-centered class covers topics from holidays, to day-to-day events, to family moments, and several often forgotten subjects.
Lessons include:
Chapter 1: Special Events
Chapter 2: Day-to-Day Living
Chapter 3: Stories to Remember
Each chapter includes 10 BRAND NEW layouts for a total of 30 layouts. An instructional video is provided for each chapter in which Jen discusses her philosophy on journaling each memory, as well as, her creative approach to journaling design. Each chapter video highlights the start-to-finish process of one of the chapter layouts. Watch Jen select the photos, journal her story, and complete a layout all under 30 minutes!
Beyond mere journaling, Jen discusses challenges to telling the story, creative methods for incorporating journaling on the page, and product suggestions for a fresh approach to journaling design. A helpful PDF is provided for each chapter and combines into a complete, comprehensive guide to meaningful journaling. Each layout is highlighted on its own page and includes the complete supply list, a close-up photo, and the approach to both documenting the story and the design of the journaling. Additional materials found within the PDF include topic ideas, journaling product ideas, and tips and tricks for journaling.
Whether you're an experienced writer looking to incorporate journaling into your scrapbooks, or you struggle with knowing what to say on your pages, this workshop's for you! Never leave "words unsaid" again!
The content of this workshop will be available immediately upon purchase. The lessons are available for you to work at your own pace and upon purchase can be accessed in the "Workshops" section under "Classes & Events." A private message board forum is also available to ask questions of both Jen and to connect with other participants. Enjoy!
