The One with & Another 2Peas History/Heritage-Themed Layout

I've got another Garden Girl layout up at twopeasinabucket.com!

THRIVE by Paige Evans
Description: This month it's all about families and history and heritage. When I think of our little family it takes me back to the days when I first had two children. I'll be honest, it took me a long time to muster up enough courage to take them both outside on a walk! But eventually I did and we took many "turns around the neighborhood." I finally felt like I could handle two kids and was thriving!
Journaling says: It took me about six months to finally feel like I knew what I was doing with 2 kids! I'm so grateful for the sunshine that allowed me to take you on lots of fun walks!
How to: Die cut the "Bloom Cut Files" by Blue Star Design from white cardstock.

Use watercolors to paint the cuts a rainbow of colors. Print the "Be Colorful Printables" by Blue Star Design.

And print the "May Printables" by I Heart Studio onto white cardstock.

Cut and punch out all of the printables then start layering and adding the cut files and printables in a 3x3 grid on a white cardstock layout background. Adhere the pieces in place. Tuck a small photo into the middle frame. Embellish with buttons, badges, and the smaller printables. Stamp the date on one of the tabs and journal on a ticket. Mix a light purple watercolor and drop it over three of the flower printables.
