Two Peas In A Bucket - Seeing Double

Recently Two Peas In A Bucket launched a brand new educational program for 2013 that includes videos from the Garden Girls six days a week.  Yep, that's right!  SIX days a week - Monday through Saturday.  I was asked to contribute to the Seeing Double which focuses on creating both a scrapbook layout and a card (or tag, altered project, etc) with the same set of supplies and/or techniques.  I often call myself a card making scrapbooker (or is that scrapbooking card maker? LOL) so this video series is simply perfect for me!

For my first video I chose to focus on using the same set of supplies - the adorable Flashback collection by KI Memories - to create both a layout and a card (seen here at Two Peas In A Bucket).  I am generally a “collection scrapper” - I will often pull out an entire collection of products from a particular manufacturer to use, and then add in bits and pieces from other companies when needed. Scrapping this way just seems natural to me - I'm a wee bit “matchy matchy” so I know the colors will all work together and it saves a ton of time as I don't have to search for other products that match, etc.

I thought the bright colors and fun, quirky patterns of the KI Memories Flashback papers were perfect for a birthday themed layout for my oldest son Darian.  Here are a few detail images of the layout ... 

And while all of the supplies I needed were right out on my work table, I created a card as well.  It's a great way to use up those smaller pieces of paper leftover from your layout. You will see in the video that I use similar design elements and principals when creating my card. If something works on a layout, chances are it will work on a card as well (it may just need to be scaled down in size).  

You can watch the video on YouTube to see how I created both the layout and the card below ...
