Sweet Story

I am loving the new Sweet Story collection by Maggie Holmes. The vibrant colors are so darling and perfect for spring and summer. Here is a 12x12 layout I made. That rainbow paper is my favorite.

Here is a pocket page with this collection. It has such fun tags and polaroids that I cut out of a 12x12 paper.

Here is a quick video of how I made the 12x12 layout:

Thanks for checking out my post. I'm sure you will love this collection too.

Be Mine

I love Valentine's day.  Here's a traditional 12x12 layout I made with cute paper from Crate Paper. I added a little of that minty color, and love how it goes with the red and pink. 

This pocket page is my "go-to" configuration. It's by Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. I love how versatile it is. I loved documenting my cute boys on Valentine's Day. 

Paper: Crate Paper

And one more layout for the other side of this pocket page. 

"Love you more every day" card: FifteenAcres

Hearts: Crate Paper 

Thanks for checking it out! Hope you had a fun Valentine's Day with your loved ones. 

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! 

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!

flutterby

The Cocoa Daisy kit for March was so springy and fun. The butterflies were my favorite part. Here is a 12x12 made with my favorite papers from the kit. And that little yellow pom pom ribbon is so cute. 

You know me, I love making banners!

Here is a pocket page with the cute Day in The Life kit. What goes better with pictures of my boys than a frog? I love it. And that fun sequins helped tie all the colors together. 

Then I covered a travelers notebook with this paper. This paper is my favorite one in the kit. It is all my favorite colors. 

Then I made my first layout in the book. With a kit called "flutterby," I knew I wanted to use my butterfly die cut punches. I made a whole process video on how I made this layout. See the link below!

The video

Here is my favorite card out of the whole kit. That RAINBOW! It is so springy and fun. It made a perfect journaling card for me to type on.

And here is a pocket page all about the spring weather we are loving! 

kiss a ginger day

I had so much fun with the Cocoa Daisy kit for February. There is lots of  Dear Lizzy products, so you know I love it. Here is a 12x12 layout with hand cut letters and a single 5x5 picture. (From Parabo Press) Kiss a Ginger Day with my little ginger.  

Here's a pocket scrapbook page I made with everyday photos. 

I made this banner with instax photos and fun embellishments. 

Here is a 12x12 layout with an interactive pocket with "things I love about you" for my boys to read.
