The One with the 2Peas Gardeners' Digest June 2013 Blog Hop


Saturday, June 22, 2013

The 22nd of the month means it's the 2Peas Gardeners' Digest Day - a monthly blog hop hosted by the Garden Girls! Below you will find a sneak of one of my upcoming layouts for the 2Peas Project Gallery a couple of projects from a scrapbooker that inspires me (Becky Williams), a list of 5 items that I've placed in my shopping cart, and a giveaway!

Here is a little sneak of the summer-themed layout that I created for the July 1st Garden Girl debut. Check out the rest of my Garden Girl creations HERE.
I'll post the entire layout on July 1st!
I've been working with Becky Williams through American Crafts for almost a year now (plus another year a year before that!) and am BIG FAN of her scrappy style. Since it's officially the 2nd day of summer, these summery and colorful layouts she made have me bursting at the seams to get outside and play in the sunshine!

Be sure to check out more of Becky's projects on her blog and her 2Peas Gallery.
Neon is IN! A lot of the clothes we're wearing lately have pops of neon so these enamel dew drop stickers by Freckled Fawn would make the perfect embellishment to my upcoming layouts.
I always hand cut my hearts and it takes forever and a day, so a heart punch by Fiskars would make the process sooooo much easier!
I want to frame this Lemon Zest 12x12 paper from the Citrus Squeeze collection by Webster's Pages and hang it on the wall...
An assortment of die cuts, cards, buttons, ribbon, and other ephemera from the new Travel Girl line by October Afternoon.
And last but certainly not least, still my favorite product these days, a 6x6 patterned paper pad called I (HEART) SUMMER from Simple Stories!
These fun products are only a click away!

I've got a giveaway to go along with this post! Just some extra goodies I've got hanging around begging to be scrapped including Pinwheels from The Pier by Crate Paper, Thickers from Mayberry by American Crafts, die cut cards from Hipster and Hey You! by BasicGrey, a smashbook type journal from BasicGrey, and two rolls of washi tape from the Valley High July 2013 kit from Studio Calico!
 Leave a comment on this post by Saturday June 29th letting me know what your summer plans are and I'll pick one lucky winner!

Next on the hop is Lilith Eeckels

    Summer plans? Going to Seattle for a mini family reunion to meet our newest member (another nephew!), a visit to Catalina Island, and running the Neon Splash Dash 5k (this is why I must get those enamel dots - ha ha!).
