The Garden
Filed under Caroline Ouzts-Hay, Collage Sheets, Fairy Garden, Flowers, Giveaways, Pocket Letters, The Garden Kit
Are we all ready for spring? How about some roses, papers with zippy colors, a chipboard ivy frame (and a few fairies) to brighten your day? The theme for the March kit is The Garden!
Note: The Arched Windows Set is a good substitute for the sold out album.
There is also a related Door Album Add-On Kit with images of fountains, columns and statuary to use in a garden. More info on the add-on kit is below. (Psst! There are a bunch of related new paper flowers and trims below, too — things not included in either kit.)
Back to what is in this kit, there are THREE 12″ x 12″ scrapbook papers: bright pinks and turquoise-to-sky-blue, plus patterns from shabby damasks to birds and florals. I’m showing the fronts & backs of the 3 sheets in the photo.
This kit also includes TWO collage sheets:
– New! Fairies in the Garden Collage Sheet (A nice selection of fairies (and a few gardeners) sized for ATCs (most are a bit larger — and more specifically, sized to fit behind the Ivy ATC Frame). A lovely cover from a vintage copy of Sleeping Beauty found its way in here, too.)
– Pink Roses Collage Sheet (Beautiful roses, mainly from vintage seed catalog covers).
A bit of the ever-popular Stitched Leaf Ribbon – Moss Green to add some dimensional greenery to your projects.
And finally, the Ivy ATC Frame! A pretty frame plus it is extra versatile! In addition to having a border like a stained glass window, if you snip off the outmost rectangular frame, it will perfecty fit an ATC (3-1/2″” x 2-1/2″”) and so will also fit in a pocket of a pocket letter!
Otherwise it is a bit larger than an ATC on all sides, so the extra little bits of ivy, tendrils & frame will extend beyond the edges. It will make a garden scene extra festive!
Next up, the Door Album Add-On Kit!
This kit contains: An Album with Arched Door (A chipboard album with 6 pages, 6-1/2″ wide x 9″ tall with a door cut out of the front cover.)
A Balcony Balustrade (12″ length, designed to fit over the door on the cover of the Album with Arched Door. You can cut your balcony or railing to the length you need.)
AND 3 collage sheets designed to be used with the door on the album cover:
– New! Garden Columns Collage Sheet (Columns that could go on the front cover or on inside pages of your album; also, statues that could be in a garden, potted plants, a stairway…)
– New! Garden Urns Collage Sheet (More columns that could go on the front cover or on inside pages of your album; also, statues that could be in a garden, potted plants, urns; and a floral “Greenhouse” banner… )
– Balconies & Foliage Collage Sheet (A pretty balcony scene with a staircase that could go behind the door of your album; also, statues that could be in a garden, trees & plants, a fountain…)
Check out the lovely photos of a Tunnel of Love Poetry Book by Design Team Member Caroline Ouzts-Hay below (using parts of both of today’s kits). Or read about Caroline’s inspiration on her blog.

Highlights of Today’s New Goodies – ALL on Sale! | |||
I would make an album. I would use the cutouts and add more to make a look into the life album and think it would be quite beautiful. Thank you for the chance.
I would make a shadow box diorama to display small antique dolls.
I would love to use the items to decorate a journal. Thank you.
I’d make an elvish/Rivendell-themed shadow box garden, those arched doors, ivy atc frame, and stitched leaf ribbon would work great!
I would make a 3d roombox to give as a gift for my sweetie!
Yes, an album — filled with graden scenes and paper dolls in spring
dress! I would call it “Ladies of the Garden”.
I would make an art journal themed
gardens of discovery.
A secret garden display!
I would make a spring scene – kinda lie a shrine.
Hi Love, Love these kit would def. do a lovely diorama!
Thanks
I would make an album and set it in my living room to help me wait for
Spring to arrive.
I’ll make a teeny book for my wee little grand daughter. Thank you
I believe I’d make a little window & room niche so you could peek into the room and see how love it was…as well as peek out to see the garden, the idea of getting 2 kits to make this little scene is very nice !
I love the idea of a faux stained glass piece for a window. Things are so bleak here at this time of year! Something reminiscent of gardens blooming with color would be just right for lifting spirits.
I’m new to the album scene and totally enthralled with The Garden and Door album – so excited to get started!
A Fairy garden album, as I’m really into fairies lately. Wonderful giveaway! I’d love to decorate that “door” album!
Love this kit! Love the add-on kit and would be so tickled to win this! I have been wanting to make a garden shadow box and have been collecting florals to use in it. This would be wonderful. The ATC frame I think I would use as part of a book cover for a journal. It is beautiful. I can’t wait to go back to work so I have some money to spend!!
ATC hands down! I love all of the products but rarely do I immediately feel compelled to order the exact moment I see something…I usually wait a bit to put a list together, etc. but I have GOT to have several of those ivy Atc frames!!! I’d do Stained glass using transparencies and actual glass (tutorial by Laura Carson on stamped glass is the bomb!) and I’ve also got to do a version of Caroline’s album, which took my breath away!!! Gorgeous, Caroline! So sublime!! . I’m subscribed to the kit but doing the add on…I’m telling you that this is my favorite kit to date!!! Ty so much!!!!!
These are beautiful I just started with ATCs I would use them for that
I’m a relative newbie at this whole concept of creativity and am beyond intrigued. Since the home and garden, vintage style, are my hearts comfy place, I would love the opp to play with these elements, and combine them in my first journal. Hoping to win, and thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE all of these! My sister is a gardener extraordinare and I would make something for her – a frame or shadow box. That ivy border is stunning! Love the mini roses!
I see the Balcony Balustrade being used as a bridge and the book would be turned into a tree house. Lots of the Twiggy Leaf Garland and Curly Paper Roses to give the Leafy Canopy effect! How pretty would that be??!? I think I am in love!! TFS!
I would use them to embellish the inside of a Victorian dollhouse being used to showcase miniatures.
I have many projects going so I would be using the items in multiple ways. I do like the idea of an ATC too…
I want to do the album and the fairy house……with the doors…..luckily I have a set already ….now I just need the kits….lol
I would work these wonderful items into an Altered Book.
Oh! A fairy house WITH the faux stained glass windows!
I would make a glorious spring shadowbox complete with arched door and dimensional flowers. Perfect for now and even more perfect to display as a ray of hope in the dead of winter! Lovely items!
Would make such a beautiful Garden Journal.
I think I might change the cover of our garden journal after seeing all the wonderful products in this giveaway. It would be so much fun to “play” with all these things.
Love the garden things. I would make a photo album of pics of my garden.
This project is so perfect for spring and to feed my spring fever! I think I would make a fantasy fold out garden to display on my mantel every year. I’d put it up in those days after the holidays but before my own garden starts to bloom.
Faux stained glass I think 🙂
