I was super duper excited to be asked to be the Guest Garden Girl for 2 Peas for August. That was a fun email to receive! I created six layouts for the first of the month garden and I will be making a few more for the mid month garden.
I used the Autumn Leaves lines called Heather Bailey and Manhattan - I loved working with both of these lines! The Heather Bailey line is right up my alley, all girly and bright. The Manhattan line was a challenge for me as it is more subdued then I usually use, but I had a lot of fun working with colors I don't normally choose. Here are a couple of the layouts and you can see them all here.
I used lots of Heidi Grace products on this second layout - the bird paper was perfect for my photos. I think The Little Bird's Tale line might be my favorite line ever.
The theme for the garden this month is Finishing Touches. It made me push a little harder to add more to my layouts and find some unique things to try. Thanks so much for all your kind words and congrats!!! Have a great weekend! Suzy
congrats on the GGG gig! Love looking at your pages! :)

I love these Suzy! You even put finishing touches on Chloe's shirt! And I'll forever be impressed at how you get your journaling to end at just the right place when you journal around things.
Congrats to you, my friend!
