Gardeners' Digest scrapbooking blog hop (September 2012)
On the twenty-second of every month, we bring you Gardeners’ Digest – a blog hop of scrapbooking news from the Garden Girls at Two Peas in a Bucket!
This week, Glitter Girl went on a bit of a longer adventure than usual, with a masterclass in clustered embellishments. You might want to grab a drink first… and maybe a few crafty pieces to play along with this week’s forty-two minutes of scrapping tv!
This month I’ve been loving this look from Laura – I need to stop admiring the mason jar trend and actually put it to use! Fancy a look in my shopping bucket? Right now, it includes Cute Overload stickers from Amy Tangerine’s new Ready Set Go collection, This is true happiness stamp by Elle’s Studio, Tell Your Story badges (cameras, woodgrain and turquoise? Yes please.), pink polka dot camera washi tape (perfection!) and the classic label stickers from October Afternoon in a new all black edition.
How about a shopping spree? This month’s Gardeners’ Digest giveaway is Two Peas shopping money! For every hundred comments, the prize goes up by $10. Ten bucks for the first hundred comments… then twenty, thirty, forty. You can only comment once and you have until the end of next Thursday. If there are lots and lots of comments, that prize pot might make it up to a $100 shopping spree perhaps! You might want to tell a friend.
Now, once you’ve left that comment, remember to click on over to the next Garden Girl. Your next stop is the lovely Laura Craigie, at PaperLuLu, a blog filled with the cutest of handmades. And enjoy the digest posts from all the Garden Girls! You can also catch up with the Two Peas blog for everything happening in Pealand!
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.

Really loved your cluster video. Enjoying this hop around the garden! TFS!
23 September 2012, 08:45
Loved the video. You had covered some of the material in one (or more) of your classes I took but there is lots to take in so like your clusters of embellishments, repetition is good! Thanks.
23 September 2012, 09:14
I find it so funny that the items in your cart right now are the same ones sitting in mine. Maybe I should get them ordered before they disappear.
23 September 2012, 09:21
Learned a lot of great tips from the video! TFS!

23 September 2012, 18:52
The video was such an inspiration. I know many were intimidated by creating the cluster first, but I am amazed at how you can pull so many collections together and still have repeating elements!
I love all your videos, 40 minutes seems like 20.

23 September 2012, 21:56
I just loved the longer video. I am still afraid to pre make embellishment clusters though. One of these days I will just dive right in. It is not like I do not have enough stash to experiment with.
23 September 2012, 22:46
A shipping spree sounds good to me! I’m on a self imposed shopping ban, but if it’s a free shopping spree, I think I should lift the ban :) TFS
23 September 2012, 23:17
Awesome giveaway! My limited scrap shopping budget hasn’t allowed me to shop at twopea yet. I’d love to put in my first order, though. So many goodies on the site!

I discovered Glitter Girl over the summer and immediately watched all the videos. They really spoke to me and inspired me to be creative. I did 4 layouts over the course of 2 weeks – not bad for someone who only did a total of 3 layouts last year. I find myself checking your blog daily and anxiously awaiting each new video. thanks for the inspiration!
