I loved creating this layout as I had so many gardening photos from a horticultural course I have just finished. I choose to celebrate the end of my horticulture course with this double layout. I have loved every minute of learning and gardening. I am just waiting on my final assignment results,
I choose my photographs first to demonstrate the timeline while on the course and some of the jobs I did through the three seasons. I had so many photos to choose from, I decided to make a folding photo mat on my first page.
I have used the following supplies, which can be ordered from my online store at:

I love how the flowers (Paper Florist Dies) and the greenery (Notes of Nature Dies) highlight my photos.
I cut out more than I needed and used them around the whole page on both layouts.
The Alphabest stamp set and punch are great fun and such good value, making it easy to create a title for your page. It will remain in my stash for a very long time.
Finally the Meandering Meadows papers and stamp set and dies finished off the layouts with some fun elements. The wheelbarrow, watering can, and tools were coloured in using the water color pencils. My particular favourites are the gum boots coloured to look like my “Red Band” boots.
Here's my full double layout. Let me know what you think of it in the comments. If you have your own demonstrator please order supplies from them. If you don't and live in New Zealand, I would appreciate your business.

I love making scrapbook layouts using scraps of paper and a new punch. As part of the Scrapbook Global Blog Hop this month we are Portraying Pets. I have created a double layout with photos of my pet cat Cohen. He’s a beautiful Ragdoll, Persian cross and has such a character. Cohen loves to follow me around, helping me with my daily chores.

I started by punching out lots of hexagons using scraps of designer series paper and some coloured cardstock I had on my desk. I used the new heartfelt hexagon punch. I love using up scraps, don’t you!
Using black cardstock I die cut the new alphabet set twice to make sure I had enough letters. I found the letters to make my title and popped the left overs into an envelope. The negative black cardstock was then used to put some background colour on the 12 x 12 basic white cardstock.
Using the alphabet stencil put it on to your page several times, randomly and without inking your blending brushes. You can choose three or more different colours to give a very faint hint of colour. Try coordinating with the colours of your scraps. You don’t need to ink them up, just use your brushes straight from your storage rack, you’ll be surprised at how little ink you need.
I put my photos on to black mats and then place my photos on my page. I arranged the hexagons around them. Once I was happy I adhere the hexagons to my pages and added the photos on top.
Using an envelope as a ruler guide and my take your pick putty end I adhere the letters of the title on to one of my pages. I then wrote a few works on my computer, using a noteworthy font, and printed it out. I back it with cardstock and adhere the journal piece onto my other page.
I love the simplicity of this layout and plan to use up a few more of my scraps.
