Hello, Renee here today to share a couple of garden scrapbooking layouts with one of them having a short step-by-step tutorial. The layouts are not about gardening itself, but they are garden inspired. I used a combination of items from the Jen Hadfield’s Cottage Living and Home+Made, Happy Day, and Home Grown collections.
I was inspired by this image of a garden quote I found on Pinterest
Leave Room in Your Garden Layout
I love how this layout turned out! I used this adorable photo I took of Payton in her Tinkerbell costume from when she was three years old. I took the quote from the inspired image and put it directly onto the page.
I started by placing the Cottage Living Hardwood pattern paper in a box. I sprayed and splattered the Cottage Living Gold Glitter Color Mist around the page and focused it more around the spot where my photo would be.
My photo measures almost 4 ½” x 6 ½”. I used the center line on the Cottage Living Hardwood pattern paper to center my photo and placed it a ½ inch from the top of the paper. I lined up the Cottage Living Imprint Thickers onto my page by first arranging them on a ruler and then centering them again on the paper. The design of this pattern paper really did help me to center my photo and quote. The last line of the quote is a ½ inch from the bottom of the paper.
I fussy cut flowers from the Happy Day Garden Walk pattern paper. The colors just worked so well with this photo. I sprinkled some Happy Day Epoxy Stickers around the page. I love the colors of these enamel dots!
How cute is this garden gnome sticker?!
I love this quote. I love these Imprint Thickers!
I love the sparkle and shine on this page from the Gold Glitter Color Mist and the Thickers!
I love this sweet little garden scene under the glass dome sticker. It’s so cute!

Love & Be Kind Layout
Since I had more photos of Payton in her Tinkerbell costume and couldn’t decide on which photo I loved more. So, I just made another layout! Ha! I really love how this one turned out, too. A pretty little fairy playing outside in the garden.
I took six photos and placed them in a grid. Each photo measures about 2.75″ x 2.75″. I layered the Cottage Living Spring Meadow and Cottage Living Delightful Dots pattern papers. I added the “love” heart and “be kind” hexagon to the grid cut from the Sweet Greetings journaling cards pattern paper.
I added machine stitching around my photo grid and a few fussy cut flowers from the Cottage Living Floral Tapestry pattern paper.
I hand stitched the buzzing from this cute little bee sticker.
I love the gold glitter and font style of this ampersand sticker.

Both these layouts are beautiful! Love the woodgrain paper and how you centered your design around it and I am always a huge fan of grid style layouts! 🙂
