Happy day, friends! Today I’m sharing a full walkthrough of the Peaceful Gardens 7-Page Kit, along with a fun technique AND the official announcement of our June 2026 retreat:🌞 Summer Picnic to Ketchup with Friends!
🌿 Peaceful Gardens 7-Page Kit
This kit is incredibly versatile and perfect for:• Masculine photos• Snow days• Christmas light shows• Garden strolls — especially stepping stones over water!
Inside the video, I walk you page-by-page through all seven pages. As always, we use every single sticker and leftover extras to build an additional title/closing page — with just a tiny bit of paper left over… enough for one more page if you love to stretch your supplies!
✂️ Featured Technique: The Leather Look
You’ll also learn the crinkled leather technique using just water and cardstock — a favorite texture trick we’ll use in the November class recording.

You only need three items to complete the full 7-page kit:
• Peaceful Gardens Paper Pack + Stickers — #167363• Peaceful Gardens Cardstock Pack — #166803• Hues of Blue Flowers Embellishments — #16593
