In the fabulous September 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes, we showed you how to add flair to your everyday layouts using products with a farm, garden, homespun, and amusement-park theme. No matter if the only animal encounter you’re likely to have this year is with your pet Chihuahua or if you have the brownest thumb in the ‘burbs, these types of “country fair” products can enhance any layout you can imagine!
Just take a look at this fun layout from Dream Team member Suzy Plantamura taken straight from page 82 of our September issue.
Here, Suzy used the saying “two peas in a pod” to jump-start her adorable layout about her daughter’s friendship with the family dog, Mayzie. Garden-themed product from Cosmo Cricket was a perfect choice for her fanciful layout!
