December 1st Garden!

December, all ready? The theme for this month's Garden is two-page layouts! A bit of a challenge for me, but there were sure a lot of great designs this month:

• Rocker Chicks by Kristina Werner - so cool! and I love those digi stitches. I am so downloading those. Will appease the digi side of my stitching quirk.
• Naughty or Nice? by Nichol Magouirk - she is the queen of two page layouts. I really like her tip to use different backgrounds on each side of the two-pager, but still include some of the same papers.
• La chasse aux champignons by Stephanie Dagan - as if I would peek through the garden and NOT notice Stephanie's work. Yet again. Her style is awesome. 

And also check out this eye candy:

• A Very Good Day by Stephanie Dagan - LOVE this. LOVE.

And here is my two-page layout (with more details and links to supplies here):

Supplies:

• American Crafts patterned paper
• Basic Grey Patchwork Quilt patterned paper
• Bo Bunny Powder Double Dot patterned paper
• Baby Cute Flair Adhesive Badges
• Silhouette diecutting machine

A few things to note:

• I cut all the butterflies with my Silhouette machine using a free download available in their on-line library.
• I also cut the title with my Silhouette. The fonts are Clarendon ("18") and Cursif ("weeks").

And here's my product focus layout (with more details and links to supplies here):

Supplies:

• Scenic Route Paper Co. graph patterned paper
• Cosmo Cricket Happy Go Lucky rub-ons
• Basic Grey Rob Roy patterned paper
  
• Basic Grey Fuzzy Navel patterned paper
  
• Basic Grey Orange Cream patterned paper
  
• Basic Grey Howdy Doody patterned paper
  
• Basic Grey Sarsaparilla patterned paper
• Basic Grey Lime Rickey Elements stickers
  
• Basic Grey Lime Rickey epoxy brads
  
• American Crafts Rockabye Foam Thickers

A few things to note:

• I stuck with Basic Grey's Lime Rickey line for nearly everything on this layout, and boy did it speed up the process. Highly recommended way to quick layouts. Especially if you happen to be working with bright summer photos. :)
• That yellow birdie? In my mind, he is a duck. Hence, the title.

Back tomorrow with another layout to share.

Two wonderful layouts. I wish I'd seen the pregnancy one when I was busy scrapping my preg. photos. I would have done one like it.
Yes, looks like a duck to me too.

Great layout Mary! Congrats on your second pregnancy by-the-way!

I've always wondered how you get two page photos/sans of your layouts...if you could share your secret, I would love that.

Take care!
