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.

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

Hearts: Crate Paper 

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

Lovely

I’ve been busy wrapping up my 2018 album. Today I made a layout documenting the passing of Grandma Dixie in August. She loved flowers and being in her garden.  She often gave us seeds and starts. This collection was perfect for honoring this lovely lady. I love the butterflies. 💛 Made with Willow Lane collection by Maggie Holmes. 

Halloween layouts

How was your halloween? Hopefully spooky. Here are some layouts I made documenting ours.

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. 

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. 

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:

water color mother's day layout

I am the luckiest mama of these 3 cute boys.

I made a mother's day layout with a cluster of 3 photos of us. 

I added these fun flowers that I fussy cut out of a paper from Bella Blvd. It was in my June Cocoa Daisy kit.  

I added splashes of water color to tie it all together. It was SO much fun!
