Gardeners' Digest :: Scrapbooking News from the Garden Girls
A little digest of news from the Garden Girls – on the twenty-second of the month, we bring you Gardeners’ Digest, a blog-hop style wrap up of our favourite projects and products at Two Peas in a Bucket. If you’ve just arrived from Shannon’s blog, then hello hello! (And if you’re just starting here, you can following it around, of course!)
First a little look at something you’ll find shortly at Two Peas – a peek at what’s coming up in this week’s glittery adventure! You don’t have to wait long to see that adventure though – it will be live for you later today.
(Random aside: yesterday I had a missed call on my phone from a number I didn’t recognise, so I Googled the number and it came up as the London Mayor’s office. Intrigued, I asked for theories on Twitter and Facebook. My very favourite was the suggestion that the mayor is creating a butterfly symbol to shine into the London sky in times of need. Oh goodness that sounds like a lot of responsibility!)
This month I have found my jaw dropping at the layouts from one particular Garden Girl: Wilna is on fire this month! She is so inspired by hearts and the lovey-dovey themes of February and her gallery is filled with such beautiful work, including this new coffee cup album and several 12×12 pages. I love every single thing she is making right now. Definitely one for your bookmarks.
Since our last digest, I have to admit I have received not one but TWO boxes from Two Peas! As the new releases roll in they sell out quickly so I end up ordering more often to make sure someone else doesn’t pinch what I want in my albums. (Selfish, I know!) My orders have included letter sticker collections from Prima, plenty of the new Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection, Rhonna Farrer’s new line with My Mind’s Eye called Follow your Heart, plus papers and a few embellishments from the Country Picnic collection by Pebbles. Since last month Two Peas has also added a bunch of printable designs, especially for journaling cards. I’m particularly loving these from Polka Dot Pixel. Love that splash of bright colour!
Two things for you:
First, leave a comment on this post to be entered to win a $10 gift certificate to Two Peas. Easy! Enter before the end of Thursday and the winner will be posted on Friday.
Second, your next stop on the way is Wendy Sue. Go, go, go!

Hi Shimelle,
It would be nice to win money to spend at 2 Peas, so thanks for the opportunity. Your new class sounds wonderful!
22 February 2012, 10:38
First, I want to say that if you got a message from the mayor of London, it’s a scam to try and get money from you. Second, I love your selections here. Of course, I ran right to 2Peas and ordered. Thanks for sharing.
22 February 2012, 10:38
I have gotten 2 boxes from 2 Peas also! Don’t want to miss any of the new stuff!

22 February 2012, 11:16
I must admit, I’ve been stalking 2Peas, but have yet to order. I’m a baby pea and have a tendency to go overboard. Must be restrained! Thank you for all your beautiful inspiration.

Hi Shimelle,
It may be that I’ve already posted, but I’ve been blog hopping for such a very long time, that I’m not sure. I enjoyed the Gardener’s Digest and all the buzz is about your new workshop! Just wondering, did the Mayor’s office ever call back? The probably want to give you the keys to the city or something!
22 February 2012, 13:38
Great post! I just signed up for your selfpaced class. Can’t wait to look at it. Love the projects highlighted.
22 February 2012, 13:46
