Gardeners' Digest // November edition

Welcome to the October edition of the Gardeners' Digest! Thanks for joining me from Jill's blog. That girl is crazy talented. The Two Peas in a Bucket blog is a great place to start if you miss a stop along the way. Plus, there are a few giveaways along the hop. Don't wanna miss out on that.
This layout went up in the garden yesterday. That sweet boy--gathering walnuts in a bucket to make it easier for the squirrels this winter. I used some of my favorite products here including this, this and this
Those acorns were fun. You can see the full layout and more photos here
I can't wait to share this one. Makes me smile.
How cute is this card by Julie? That sentiment on the wood banner= perfect.
And this one by Laura? Loving the colors and use of the 3 different stamps. 
 I'm not a great card maker so I just love what these girls do each month! 
These are either on my desk or in a box on their way to me...





*glitter tape from American Crafts: I've never been much for glitter in scrapbooking, probably because I'm scrapbooking boys. This time of year I start using it more in holiday projects and with this glitter tape I just might have to make the exception all year. So many pretty colors to choose from! Aqua, gold, silver and spinach are on there way to me. 
*Make it Merry Miscellany from October Afternoon: If you are needing a few bits and pieces for your holiday layouts or December daily type albums this is the perfect little pack of goodies. 
*new stamps and paper goods from Evalicious: so many cool stamps it is hard to choose. And don't get me started on the paper goods. Glad to see these in the store.
*Classic Calico 3 Roller Date stamp by Studio Calico: Like I need another roller date stamp! But this one says "instagrammed" AND has a woodgrain handle. SOLD.
*Candy Stripe Banner Stickers by Jenni Bowlin: I'm a sucker for any kind of label in this shape. Perfect to type on and add a date to a project. And I'm loving the candy cane stripes. 
* EIGHT mini album samples with nearly 200 pages total of inspiration.  You'll see four albums created by Amy and four mini books by special guests Kristina Nicolai-White, Jill Sprott, Suzanne Sergi and Jana Werner.

* Four album approaches.  Amy gives you the tools to assess what format is best for you.

* Over 80 minutes of video giving a close-up look at Amy's albums as well as in-depth tutorials.

* Five printable chapter guides featuring a detailed look at each album, extra tips, "Bucket lists" of topics, and notes from the designer.

* Exclusive printable journaling cards used as the base of one of the featured albums.

* A private message board forum where you can chat with Amy, ask questions and connect with other students.
The description and sneaks of this class by Amy Heller look amazing. You can read all about the class and sign up here
How about we giveaway a spot? Leave a comment (and your Two Peas user name) about anything, maybe what you are most excited to eat for Thanksgiving (if you are having Thanksgiving this week) and I'll draw a name next week! If your name is drawn and you have already signed up for class, no worries. You can choose to be refunded or give the class to a friend :)  
Now hop on to the one and only Jen's blog! Happy Tuesday!

  1. Your LO is so pretty!!! I can't wait to see the other up in the gallery. Laura Craigie is the queen of cards! I just love hers!! I have been on the fence about Amy's class. I am not much of a mini album maker. What am I most excited to eat?? Turkey. It is always just my DH and my kids and I. But I still make a big dinner. It is the only time I get to enjoy turkey (DH doesn't really care for it). Found the best brine recipe on FoodNetwork (Alton Brown's).. it's the juiciest turkey!!! YUM! Momma_Paparazzi

  8. When I saw the Hunt & Gather layout in the gallery it made me smile, reminded me of my Great Grandmother and how I'd always gather acorns when I went to her house. It's one of the few memories I have of her since she passed when I was still pretty young.
