recent cocoa daisy projects

Here are a few of my recent projects I made with Cocoa Daisy:

adventure

Here are the projects I made with the Cocoa Daisy kit for December. This kit was travel themed, with lots of tags, envelopes, hot air balloons, and more. I made this accordion style mini album showing some current pictures. I didn't have a recent trip to document, but I made this with the travel theme anyway showing that our life is an adventure. 

Here is a process video I made:

I made this 12x12 layout showing my cute cub scout, Radley. 

Here is a pocket page documenting our Thanksgiving. I love those little tags that spell "happy."

And one more 12x12 page all about my little Crew sleeping in a big boy bed. The soft colors of the kit were great for a baby boy. 

about me reel

The Cocoa Daisy team members each made an "about me" layout for a fun Instagram hop. Here is the layout I made featuring pictures from my life, starting with my baby picture. I created the view master “reel” by tracing an 8 inch plate and cutting it out, then I punched the windows in the reel with a square shaped punch. I used cocoa daisy stamps to number each picture. I attached the reel with a brad so it turns. This is definitely one of the funnest pages I’ve made. I loved making it.

Here is a process video of how to make one:

Thanks for checking it out! 

hello holidays

The November Cocoa Daisy kit was full of cute holiday themed products. It was so fun to make these projects:  

First I made an interactive advent layout. I will leave it out as decor for the month of December and add a little something under the flap each day. When I am done, it will slide into a sheet protector in my album.

Here is a process video on how to make one:

Here is a layout featuring a recent visit to the family cabin. 

I made a some frayed cards and tags. I used regular scissors and just cut lots of slits. 

For this one, I used one of my kids' pokemon card holders to make 9 pockets. Those gold stars made the cutest shaker pocket. 

guess what?

Meet the 2018 Cocoa Daisy team. I am SO excited to get to design with these talented ladies. This last year has been a dream, and I am so happy I get to do it for another year. 

i heart october

I am so excited to share my October projects made with the Cocoa Daisy kit. 

I made this 12x12 layout with the cute paper from Pink Paislee's Turn the Page collection. The sweet sentiments in the background were perfect for our new family pictures. I also added some splashes of water color. 

Here is a close up. Gosh I love water color! 

Here is a smaller pocket page. I love the card with the "caption" spot. I added the cute pink HELLO stickers. This kit had lots of cute succulents. 

This layout turned out to be my FAVORITE one. Those cute little birds inspired me to use the darling alpha stamps to write "Our Flock." I fussy cut the birds out of a sheet of 12x12 paper. (Also from Pink Paislee). 

Here is how I typed my journaling. Then I cut each line into strips and glued them on. 

I tattered the edges of each layer a little to add dimension. 

Here is the process video I made for this layout.

And lastly, here is a pocket page I made showing our day at the pumpkin patch. The love the mint color with the traditional orange.

Thanks for checking out my October projects! 

fall florals

The September Cocoa Daisy kit was beautiful and had me feeling all the fall feels. I adore the fall florals.

Here is a pocket page made with the pocket kit. I love that vintage camera!

This 12x12 layout was so fun to make because I got to really layer those prints. 

Here is another 12x12 page with interactive flaps. The pictures and journaling tell our September stories. 

Click below for my process video on making the flaps layout. 

I made these fall greeting cards with the rest of my paper scraps. Its amazing how many projects you can get out of a few favorite papers. 

I heart typewriters

The August kit from Cocoa Daisy was my favorite so far. I LOVED all the typewriters.

I loved adding watercolor to this whimsical layout with the moon.

Here is a close up. My baby can't get enough of the moon right now. He loves going outside and finding the moon, day or night. And he squeals and says "moo, moo, moo!" So when I saw all the "I love you to the moon and back product, I knew I wanted to make a layout with Crew. I used a plate to trace the moon. There is a whole process video below: 

Here is a layout in my summer mini album. I love the paper with the waves and the cute "ADVENTURE" paper. Perfect for my Bear Lake pictures. 

This handsome guy has been "Just My Type" for 15 years now. Woot Woot

Here is another layout in my summer mini. You know me, I LOVE paper flaps. Quick video showing it better below:

And here is one more layout using pocket pages. I just love that card with the date on it.  Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

The good stuff

Here are the projects I made in July with the Cocoa Daisy kit:

 Cocoa Daisy collaborated with Page Maps this month and some of the designers made layouts with their awesome layouts. This is the one I made. I actually felt like it fit my style well and I loved creating it. 

Here is a page from my summer mini album. It's all about fire flies, so I loved using that sparkling gold foiled vellum. 

Here's a pocket page all about our fourth of July. I used the sparkle vellum once again here. 

Those Day In the Life cards are so cute. The "boom boom boom" one is my favorite. 

I hand cut letters out to make this 12x12 page. Those vintage cameras from Simple Stories are so cute. And perfect for showing pictures of my vintage camera thrift find. 

 My favorite project this month was this accordion style mini album all about my 3 boys. 

Here is the cover of the mini album. I made a process video of how I made this mini album. Click below:
