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 Nancy’s blog, then hello hello! (And if you’re just starting here, you can following it around, of course!)
First a little behind the scenes look at something you’ll find shortly at Two Peas. Any guesses on what aventure this may have started? All to be discovered next Wednesday!
This month I’ve found myself clicking on all of Amy Heller’s pages to see all the details she packs in to each design. I don’t think I’ve ever met an Amy page I didn’t like! You can find her gallery here. Be sure to click that with a bit of time on your hands, because you’ll find plenty to add to your bookmarks!
It’s been an amazing month of new products so far, with plenty of new releases arriving. I can’t wait to receive the box that is currently on its way to me! It includes label stickers by Jillibean Soup, grey baker’s twine by Doodlebug, the Note to Self collection by Echo Park, Cosmo Cricket’s 2Wenty-Thr3E collection and the Instaframes embellishment pack by Heidi Swapp. And… I may have gone slightly overboard on all the new washi tape and lace. Maybe. I mean… what qualifies as ‘overboard’ really? Because I don’t think I literally ordered so much tape that it would overfill a boat and fall overboard. Provided it was a decent sized boat. That’s wholly acceptable, right?
Another little new thing at Two Peas that isn’t a product: lots of people said they wanted a place to follow the Two Peas blog in a super easy format, so you can now find the Two Peas blog here at Typepad, so it’s nice and easy to add to your subscriptions! (If you read on the Two Peas site, no problem as you’ll find it there too!)
Three 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 next Thursday (the 29th of March) and the winner will be posted on the following Friday (the 30th).
Second, there are three giveaways that end tonight, so find them here, here and here so you’re in it to win it! Those will all be announced here tomorrow night.
Third, your next stop on the way is Jill Sprott. Go, go, go!
Gardeners’ Digest is a monthly update from the Garden Girls, the design team at Two Peas in a Bucket. To keep up with the Garden Girls throughout the month, check out the garden gallery, find us on Twitter or subscribe to all our blogs with just a couple clicks.

Great new products, can’t wait to see what you make with them. Perhaps your friend Glitter Girl should do a video on “Help what do I do with all this Washi tape!!!!”

Shimelle, is there such a thing as too many Washi tapes? I think not :-) A girl must have some variety.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

22 March 2012, 17:51
As he imfamously said in the movie Jaws, “I think we’re gonna need a bigger boat.” As long as they keep making must have new washi tapes, i’m loading em in my boat. Can’t help it!

Thanks Shimelle.

23 March 2012, 03:46
Everyone seems to be loving note to self collection. I have my eye on it. I’m staring it down until eventually I give in and buy it after I told myself I need to slow down on the new stuff. 2peas name brmartin
23 March 2012, 04:50
I have to agree with your 5 (6?) picks! Love the lace tape!
23 March 2012, 05:36
I agree, a tip on how to use washi tape (I mean in addition to simply attaching it to the page) would be nice=)
23 March 2012, 07:02
I’ll be watching for how you use the new stuff!
23 March 2012, 08:08
Like always thanks for leading me to new inspiration!!

23 March 2012, 22:43
mmm… that twine is yummy.
23 March 2012, 22:48
I love your description of going overboard, Shimelle. I guess that means I haven’t gone overboard on buying punches. Patterned paper — well that’s another story.
24 March 2012, 00:30
I’ve been seeing so many varieties of baker’s twine lately!
24 March 2012, 03:52
I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award! Check it out here (http://thisisthecraftyone.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/the-versatile-blogger-award/)

24 March 2012, 12:19
