Hard to believe it's February already. January was over in the blink of an eye.
Since it's the first it's time for a new Garden over at 2Peas. This month's focus was 2Peas 10th Birthday. Hard to believe I've been a member since July of 2000. Wow. :)
Here's a peek at my projects:
This layout was inspired by the Member Gallery. I stumbled across several layouts people had done about the Twilight series and thought since I've blogged so much about it since last June that I should probably document for myself my obsession. ha! This was an excellent reminder to me that I need to scrapbook about ME and those little things about me more often. Click HERE for supply list, etc.

For this layout I wanted to document something funny Ethan says to me all the time lately that I don't want to forget. I was inspired and encouraged to start stamping, specifically stamping on my layouts, by 2Peas and the Garden way back when. :) I remember thinking that stamping was for cards, and I was never going to be a card maker. ha! How quickly that changed into an all-consuming addiction of stamping supplies (both for layout and cards!). Click HERE for supply list, instructions, etc.

Finally, this layout was for the New Product Spotlight, focusing on the new Quickutz dies (Jacqueline Alpha & Birds dies) all cut from glitter paper. Love these products! So addicted to all things die-cutting. So sad. lol Click HERE for supplies, etc.

And here are just a few layouts that caught my eye this morning.
- Love THIS layout by new Garden Girl, Caroline Ikegi. All the little photos and papers assembled into strips plus the sentiment behind the design. So cool.
- Robyn always does such lovely work. And LOVE that she was inspired by Cathy Blackstone. LOVE Cathy. :) Click HERE.
- THIS layout by Cindy Liebel...oh my...those circles are amazing! I want to create a page like this!
- I love both THIS layout by Laura Kurz and the original by Rhonda Bonifay. stunning.
- I looked at THIS layout by Erica Hernandez and gasped. Seriously. Perfection.
- Love Laura Kurz scraplift of Ali Edwards. One of my favorite layouts ever. Reminded me I still want to lift that design. :)
- I *heart* Jennifer Gallacher and her style. Love THIS layout. Such a great use of the October Afternoon Night Light Collection.
- More Robyn. Love THIS.
Take care!
Great layouts! I haven't been able to see the new layouts in the garden yet this morning...maybe I need to go check again.

What a great page about Twilight...said I would not get sucked in. I am 200 pages into book 4 and can't wait to see how it ends. Thanks for the creativity and the reminder that I must do a page about me and some of the things that I am into. Have never done one of these. Must do. Would love to see other pages about you but really enjoy all of your stuff!

Your layouts are amazing! I just love how you use stamping and die-cuts.
Thanks also for all the really cool layouts on 2peas too.
Have a great day!

Ok so I know I'm commenting on this post like 3 months later but I found it thanks to that handy dandy LinkWithin at the bottom of each of your posts. Anyhoo...love the Twilight layout. Very cool. I resisted the Twilight mania for so long...then I caved. Glad I did! ;D Nice Job!
