ANNOUNCING THE BRAND NEW TWO PEAS DIGITAL STORE

For months 2PEAS ve been brainstorming, sketching, and perfecting the new Two Peas digital store.  We've partnered with talented artists and have even created many of the designs you see in-house! We're excited to finally reveal what we've been working hard to bring you. Introducing new printables and cut files:

Each month we'll reveal a new batch of products that coordinate with our theme!  The theme this month is 'Focus On Photos', with an emphasis on photos-on-the-go like polaroids, instax, etc. You'll want to hurry and scoop these up; our themed designs are limited releases, available just for the month. These are indicated with the "May only" banner in the corner. A few examples:

 

These are just a handful of the releases; check out the rest of the kits, including our freebies and popular photo action kits, here!

Studio Calico Happy Little Moments class is back!

Life is full of happy little moments that we often don't scrapbook. Join Maggie Holmes and Marcy Penner and capture those memories in a one of a kind altered book.

Your teachers will be walking you through the process of putting together a unique album filled with peek-a-boo windows, envelope pages and all of the moments that make you smile.

Maggie and Marcy have each curated a class kit that they'll be working with in their books. Those kits are available for purchase here. If you purchase both kits at the same time, you can use the code SCHLM to get a free set of 4x3in veneer journaling cards.

Our teachers are joined by contributor Lisa Truesdell, who will be sharing tips to adapt Maggie and Marcy's ideas into a Studio Calico Handbook format.

More Happy Little Moments students will also have access to a variety of digital files - printables by Hello Forever and Bananafish Studio, hand drawn die cut files by Maggie Holmes and icon, tag and tab die cut files by Hello Forever.

This is a self-paced class - all class information will be posted on June 1st. To help keep you on track to complete your book, Maggie and Marcy will be posting a journaling prompt and technique challenge on the classroom message board each week.

You can find a complete syllabus on the More Happy Little Moments registration page. Enrollment is open now through May 31st, and class starts June 1st. We hope to see you in class!

Last day to sign up for Pop Off the Page!

Feeling a little flat? Join layering expert Jen Jockisch for this sequel to last year’s popular class and learn how to layer your paper and embellishments to add detail, dimension and visual interest to any project. We’ll be kicking off the class with a refresher PDF to discuss ideas shared in the first class, and will follow that up with four PDFs discussing even more concepts in layering. In the end, you’ll have access to 5 PDFs filled with 28 new projects, 2 videos (one from Jen and one from me) and oodles of Pop Off The Page tips and tricks.

Jen is joined by a talented group of contributors - they have a diverse range of styles, but they all know how to rock the layers. Becky Novacek, Dawn McVey, Debee Campos, Emily Branch, Jill Sprott, Kim Stewart, Lilith Eeckels, Lisa Spangler, Marcy Penner, Patricia Roebuck, Sasha Farina, Shanna Noel, Stephanie Bryan and Stephanie Dagan will each be sharing a project and their own personal layering tips.

While supplies last, students will receive an embellishment kit of layering essentials, including an exclusive stamp set. This kit will ship free to you, no matter where you are! We will update this page when the class kit is sold out. The class also comes with exclusive downloads - printables from In A Creative Bubble and Blinks of Life and die cut files in .svg, .png and .studio from Kinsey Wilson. You can see all of the digital files here.

In addition, you'll have access to a private message board where you can ask Jen all of your layering questions! Here's a look at the class syllabus :

May 1 : Layering refresher – layouts from Jen, Marcy, Becky, Lilith and Sasha

May 6 : Layering with mixed media – layouts from Jen, Jill, Celine and Shanna, card from Lisa

May 13 : Layering with paper techniques – layouts from Jen, Patricia, and Kim, card from Dawn, Project Life spread from Stephanie Bryan

May 20 : Layering in other projects – 3 tags from Jen, mini album from Stephanie Dagan, art piece from Debee Campos, 3 cards from Emily

May 27 : Jen’s layering tips and tricks – 4 layouts and 1 card from Jen

Here's a sneak at my layout, which will be shownstep-by-step in a video :)

Welcome in my new Scraproom!

This weekend was...how can I say...VERY BUSY!

We got back from Paris a week ago, and we had a very busy catching up on orders, emails, re-organizing our office, working on upcoming online classes and such. But what kept us busy was re-organizing my Scraproom and the magazine office and WOW! What a change! It took us (my parents, Damien and I) two full days, from 8am to 8pm, to clean, throw away, rearrange, organize, build new furniture, move stuff...and finally, we made it.

I asked a brand new desk to my parents for my birthday and a few hours to help me re-organize my scraproom (which turned out to be a few days, hum hum...).

I used to stock all my workshops products and kits in my scraproom, which took lots of space and ended up being soooo messy.

We moved all of my workshops products and kits to our office downstairs so my scraproom is only about scrapbooking now! :)

You can see what my old scraproom looked like in my Twopeas gallery here...

And now, ladies and gentlemen, be welcome in my brand new Scraproom :)

My dad built the desk himself, using 2 Ikea expedit furniture and two white table desks. Both Expedit squares have cute Ikea baskets to store my favorite products :)

Another Expedit furniture to store my Big Shot stuff and fabric :)

Sizzix dies, Aladine stamps and Mr Huey inks are stored here...

My papers...

My beautiful Big Shot...

My scrapping desk... with a basket for each of my beloved Design Teams :) and my black box for Project Life favorite products.

Albums for my layouts (on the right), papers, mini albums, paints, washi tape, my music (I always scrapbook with music on), my telephone, my Selphy...

Most of my mini albums and my favorite Scrapbook & Mixed Media books :)

My Stamping corner...

Craft Origine stamps & other stamps from different manufacturers...

Photos, photos and photos, and this cute creation by my dear friend Edwige.

More storage and decoration...

I LOVE old photos...

I hope you enjoyed this little tour  :) 

Have a nice day!

2 Peas in a Bucket - April in Color!

All the 2peas Garden Girls have been inspired by COLORS this month! We were challenged to use COLOR as our main tool on our layouts, either in a monochromatic way, or using a rainbow kind of inspiration.

As nobody wanted purple, I gladly picked this color I'v always loved! Though it can be a tough exercise to play with this color, imagine a tiny bit of yellow/gold/pink with this color!

It wasn't easy at the beginning though, but by the time I picked all my products, I got giddy and really enjoyed the process!

I used some Fancy Pants Designs Stencils for this layout, that I colored with Distress inks. I then worked with one Studio Calico mask along with Mr Huey Gold.

Supplies I used on my layout...
