April Garden Digest...


Spring is in the air! In Saskatchewan Canada, where I live, it's a huge relief to feel the warmth of the sun again! So, it's with that same spring feeling that i welcome you to another edition of the Gardeners' Digest. It's a monthly blog hop hosted by the Garden Girls (the design team of 2peasinabucket).
The blog hop starts at the new 2peas blog...  
and your NEXT stop after me is the lovely Jen Gallacher's blog.  
The Gardeners' Digest comes to you in 4 parts:
These previews almost look like a garden... : ) I used my new Silhouette Cameo on every single page this month... and i probably will in all the months to come. Spring was definitely an inspiration as well as this paper by Cosmo Cricket ... that just kept on showing up... i am saving every little scrap of it.


The whimsical playfulness to these 4 pages makes my heart flutter...not to mention the use of the Silhouette to inspire me to greater cut-fulness. (i think i just made up a word). Click on each of the links to see the wonderful beautiful pages.




1. I almost fell off my chair when i saw Crate Paper's new Pretty Party papers in the 2peas shop.  The colors is subtle yet deliciously fresh. + All the embellies that goes with it is soo pretty... 2. Washi Tape. It's all the craze lately and these from Cosmo Cricket is super pretty. I love the ruler idea here... 3. swoooon... Studio Calico seriously makes the most beautiful stuff. Like these wood shapes in arrows and hearts! I bought this so fast! There are other gorgeous wood shapes too like the little cameras. 4. With Ali Edwards annual "week in the life" challenge just this week to come, these stamps will be perfect! 5. And last but not least... Amy did it again with her stunning Sketchbook collection. It's young and hip and fresh and beautiful.







Guess what? Garden Girl Shannon Tidwell created a brand new workshop! It's called Sassy Scrapping with Shannon Tidwell

Cost of class: $25

**Special promo:  When you purchase this workshop before April 27th, you'll receive a FREE printable PDF made up of labels and fun designs! Find it in the "My: Downloads" section upon purchase, click on the Digikit tab, print and enjoy. You'll want to hurry, this is a limited time offer!  



Description:
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!


Leave a comment and you can win a SPOT in this workshop! Or, if you don't want to wait till Wednesday the 25th when I announce the winner, you can buy it now and get your money back... or gift it to a friend.Oh, and be sure to include your 2peas username in the comment as well.


love and a kiss
