Two Peas In A Bucket - Gardeners' Digest

Hey everybody!  Welcome to the April edition of the Gardeners' Digest.  The Garderners' Digest is simply a monthly update from the Garden Girls, the design team at Two Peas In A Bucket.  It's a place for us to share what we're currently working on, inspired by, using in our projects, etc.  A little diary of sorts for you to keep up with all of us on our personal blogs as well as over at Two Peas In A Bucket.

First, I want to share with you a little sneak peek of one of my Garden projects for the month of April.  Our monthly theme in the garden is Easter so I created this layout using some photos from our family Easter egg hunt.  I used lots of Bella Blvd goodies on this layout including their brand new designer tapes and flags.

Browsing the gallery at Two Peas is one of my favorite things to do when I'm looking for inspiration.  This card by Susan Weinroth caught my eye recently.  I adore the colors and the simple sophistication of the design.  There are so many tiny details rolled up into one fabulous project.  Thanks for the inspiration Susan!

Next I'd like to share a few recent purchases I've made from the shop at Two Peas.  With all of the new releases from CHA Winter the Two Peas shop has been hopping with new products arriving weekly.  And so has my wallet!  LOL!  So here are my five most recent purchases ...

•  PB&J Collection (LOVE the bright colors and fun patterns in this collection.  A favorite for sure!)

•  What's Up Collection (Another amazing collection from Basic Grey.  I am just loving the hot air balloon motifs and funky color scheme)

• Mister Huey's Spray Mists (With a whole new batch of colors in the shop it's hard to choose just one - this light kraft color has made it's way to my Mister Huey collection recently) 

• Chevron Backdrops Clear Stamp Set (I still can't get enough of the chevron craze and recently added these little cuties to my stamp collection so that I can create my own chevron patterns any time I like!)

• Hello Routine April Studio AE Clear Stamp Set (Always a sucker for Ali's stamps, I love that these are different than the usual Studio AE stamps in that they have a more solid design!)

Garden Girl Shannon Tidwell just launched a brand new workshop called Sassy Scrapping with Shannon Tidwell.  Here's a description of Shannon's new class ...

Are you looking to add something extra to your pages? More color, more punch, more pizazz? Are you ready for a fresh and energizing approach? Then come scrap with me, Garden Girl Shannon Tidwell. I love making big and bold pages that are full of life, but not full of time. (someone has to do the laundry!) I’m going to give you tips, tricks, and ideas so that you can make pages that pop no matter your style. Together we’ll cover five chapters, with over 50 layouts, including two themed albums!

You’ll get ideas from the beginning stages of finding and using inspiration, building bold pages, making the most of collection kits, and then finish it off with a ‘through the years’ album as well as a ‘school year’ album.

This is a self paced workshop that you can use any time. The workshop comes complete with easy to follow PDF’s as well as a coordinating video for each of the 5 chapters. Not to mention we’ll be able to chat it up on a private message board.

So let’s add a bit of sass to our scrapbooks together!

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 for Shannon and to connect with other participants. Enjoy!
