Not amused / Leave a little sparkle wherever you go / Cocoa Daisy DT

Good morning everyone!! I hope your weekend has went well and I hope you had a great turkey day!!

 We've had a long one and its been great.We got to see a bunch of family and friends and eat lots of great food too!

I thought I would drop in real quick this morning and share a few layouts I made with my November 2016 Cocoa Daisy kits.

This one was made for a sketch challenge over at Cocoa Daisy and I had so much fun with it! I love to work with sketches, You can work as close to the sketch as you want if you just want to or if your mojo is low or you can just use it as a jumping off point. I stuck pretty close to it, just because Iiked the sketch. 

I was fun and I loved how it worked with the goofy pics of my youngest daughter.

Speaking of goofy.....

Here is another layout I made of me and my middle daughter. We were playing around taking goofy selfies lol. I loved the Cocoa Daisy exclusive paper, so I used it as a larger strip of the right side. Did a bit of layering behind the photos with some of the DITL cards, patterned papers and some of the exclusive little stickers and die-cuts.

I finished it off with some of the pretty Spiegelmom scraps sequins.

Heres a few more close ups of that layout for you to look at.

Thanksgiving Inspired door hanger / Cocoa Daisy DT

Hello!! So whos ready for the Thanksgiving holiday to start?? This girl right here, that who!! lol For us it starts today!! The kiddos headed out to school this morning so excited that break starts when they get out of school today. We have a lot of family stuff planned and I have lots of scrappy stuff planned lol.

Speaking of.....
I'm sharing a door hanger I created with this months Cocoa Daisy Sprinkles kit and the Glazed add-on. The colors are fantastic, I'm not really that traditional so I love the teal popped in here too! I started by butting a cut-file created by Ashley Horton, it says Happy fall y'all, I backed that with the pretty teal paper.

After I did the backing I ran a bunch of the papers threw my silhouette, cutting out a bunch of leaves. I played with the placement for a short period of time and was happy so I lightly glued them down and then sewed threw them all a few times, all the way around in a circle. After I sewed them down I lifted up the edges of the leafs to add come dimension. I loved it already but wanted more to it.

So I thought I'd put a saying on it. And if you know me, I'm a bit goofy and I like things to be fun so I chose a fun little saying. Gobble til you wobble. lol My kids liked it too.

I thought I wanted it out of that pretty yellow, but when I cut it out I realized I didnt like it. So I grabbed the brown paper that looked like leather and thought it would look great and I was way happier with that one!! 

Finishing it off I placed some of the awesome Spiegelmom Scraps sequins here and there around the little leaf wreath and I was happy. 

I had fun with this one, I always love having new home decor for the holidays, now I have family members wanting some too lol. 

Remember to head over to Cocoa Daisy and check out the kits and grab them before there all gone!! And make sure to check back for the new kits for December too!!

The sweetest thing / 12x12 layout Cocoa Daisy DT

Good morning everyone!! How is your Sunday going?? Mine is pretty good. Got up and it had frosted outside!! So excited for winter!! Everything is back to normal now, and it should be in the high 60's today but its starting!! lol So after I noticed that, I grabbed me a cup of coffee while everyone but the youngest was down and drank my 1st cup in quite, except for a bit of cooing, lol Kiddos got up and we had a yummy breakfast and now there all off to chores, baby is asleep and I'm here, still drinking coffee!! lol

Anyways.....lol back to scrapping.....

So this precious little one is my newest addition to the family and here in this picture she was sick :( An upper respiratory infection and nothing they could give her for it since she was only right over a month old, so sad. But she looked so precious, I still had to scrap it and OMG this months Cocoa Daisy Scrapbook Kit, Sprinkles, the DITL kit and paper add on, Glazed are all so pretty and an amazing combination of products!

I used an old cut file and used that for most of the background. I liked the white on white and the sewing on top of that. I grabbed that pretty Maggie Holmes bird paper for the bottom and that was the base for my layout. After that I started the layering behind my photo. I used bits and pieces of scraps and a DITL card tucked in there.

I punched out a circle and used a few of the exclusive stickers/cut outs and that oh so sweet wood veneer.

I did pop in a little doily from my stash, I love the soft look of them! I finished it all off by adding a few hearts from the Dear Lizzy thickers set and then my journaling about my sweet little girl.

I'm loving my kits and have so much more to share!! These kits just keep going and I'm loving it!!

Thanks for stopping by to check out what I created today and I hope you come back by to see what else I do. If you dont want to miss anything, feel free to hit that follow button and make sure to head to the Cocoa Daisy site and grab your kits before there gone!!

Hello / 12x12 layout

Good morning everyone!! 

This is my newest little one here. Shes cuddling with my hubby, pre-hair cut lol, and I thought it was sweet that she just kept staring up at him. So I wanted to capture that. She would just sit there and stare at him, still dose now that shes a few months old, but now she jabbers more and simles, LOVE that!! lol.

Well I used my September Hip kit to make this layout. I had made it when I was still on the design team, but never shared it. I was in my craft room cleaning up and found it, so I thought Id share it. I love the nice soft colors that are mixed in with the new Maggie Holmes Gather collection, but I also like the yellow and blues! 

Here are a few close ups for you to check out!

XOXO / 12X12 Stash scrapping

Hello everyone!! Happy Saturday! I'm a bit late in the day posting this, but I thought I'd share it anyhow.

This is my 2 youngest daughters. Older loves to spend time with her little sister, any time she gets! Baby was getting tummy time and older was sitting there talking to her and playing with her. I thought they looked cute so I snapped a few pics and this was my favorite.

I used some of what was left from the last kit I got from Hip Kits when I was on the design team to make this layout. I love all the Maggie Holmes, Gather collection. Everything I used was on the soft side. I wanted it that way because of the photo I used.

I added a few close up pictures for you to take a look at

Thanks so much for you coming by and checking out what I made, if you dont want to miss any of my posts, feel free to follow me.

Love love love you so much / Hip Kit club CT

Good morning everyone!
Well I'm sharing my last layout that I created for Hip Kit club as a design team member. Septembers kit was AMAZING!! I loved all the beautiful papers and embellishments that there were to play with.

This layout is of me and my oldest son at his elementary school graduation. He did so good and I'm so proud of him! He ended the year on such a high note, so happy, cant tell I'm a proud momma hu? lol

This was actually after graduation, there was a little celebration for all the kids and their families and of course were a goofy family, so we took a nice picture and then the goofy took over!

The pretty papers from the Maggie Holmes, Gather collection were fantastic along with the Simple Stories, Posh papers, the combination was great and it worked great for a page with a boy. A lot of people may see this as a kit full of pretty pinks and florals, but there are plenty of things to make a boy page too!

I layered that great cut-file Ashley Horton created on the teal paper by Simple Stories and both of those on a sheet of white cardstock by American crafts. I added layers behind my pictures and then I started playing with all the little pretties in the kit and layering them around my layout.

I enjoyed my time with Hip kit club, but now its on to new adventures so I hope you come back and check out what I'm up to and keep checking out the Hip Kit blog!
