by the numbers | february 2012 cocoa daisy kit...

it's that time of the month, again. the february reveal at cocoa daisy was saturday night and, i know it say this every month, this one is awesome! (i think the reason i keep saying they are all so amazing is because christine has done an amazing job of putting these kits together) this month is LOADED with numbers. if you love numbers, and chevrons, like i do, you will REALLY want this kit. REALLY! :)

here's a look at the main kit...

loaded, right? :)

and the add ons are just as fabulous! and the stamps. don't for get the stamps.


and the stencil this month. you don't want to let this one get away...

right? ;)

ok. on to my layouts. (and, i've got more in the works)

you four are my favorites...

those confetti pockets were totally inspired by lisa. love them!

just the 2 of us...

yep. another banner. i know. it's a sickness.

the countdown...

i love the white misted chevron on the kraft.

now, head on over to cocoa daisy to check out what the US girls have created this month. (the international reveal will be on feb 14) 

have a fabulous monday!

peace, lovelies...

hello all! i hope this post is finding you all well.

how may of you remember this project?

i've been thinking of doing it, again. a 2012 version. a leap year 29 days special version. what do you all think? is it something you all want to do with me? something you want to do yourself? 

here's a post with the details from last year...

28 days of love...

i've had a few emails asking if i was doing this, again, this year and i have been thinking about it. i'm just wondering if my blog readers are interested. :)

leave me a comment saying "yay" and i'll get moving! :)

have a great monday!

peace, lovelies...

tea & cupcakes | january 2012 cocoa daisy kit...

good morning, all! last night the january kit was revealed at cocoa daisy and it's a GOOD one! it's all about bringing some color to an otherwise gray january. (not that i don't LOVE a good gray) and, as you all are aware, sassafras is no longer manufacturing scrapbooking product. so, christine wanted to give us all a little more sass before it's gone for good. because i don't know about you, but i'm going to miss some of that cool sassafras product.

subscribers should have gotten your emails last night for the presale. the rest of you will be able to get your goods on the 1st. :) and, you are definitely going to want to scoop up these goods. 

don't forget about the stamps. there is one in the kit and the rest are ala carte. keeps the cost of the add ons down and allows you to get the stamps you want. and, you are going to want these stamps! my favorite is the instax photo frame.

there is also a cute cupcake and sprinkles stamp set.

and, my projects...

the greats...

i just LOVE those tiny little letters from kaiser.

like you love her...

this one is probably my favorite of the 3.

bite me cupcakes...

now, you need to go check out the rest of the designers galleries here. gorgeous stuff, people!

have a great thursday!

peace, lovelies...

 

days 01-16 | december daily...

good morning! and, it's finally here! LOL! (actually, i finally got it photographed)

remember this?

well, she has insides, too. :)

here we go (lots of photos. don't say i didn't warn you)

white embossed "december" on starbucks cup

the back of day 5 and a page from the november anthropologie catalog (i used it a bit in here)

the front of the card in the starbucks bag

and the back

there are additional photos inside the TJs holiday guide. just too hard to photograph

these are older photos from a mini book i made for treasury a few years ago. i wanted to get the movies documented and didn't have a story for the 13th.

14 is a vintage christmas card i found. the inside is not yet complete.

forgot to take photos on the 15th, so, i made another snowflake with the stencil that came in the merry and bright kit from cocoa daisy.

that's all for today. i'm still plugging along with both books. i've got my lists and i will finish and will continue to post until the end. (hope you don't mind a little holiday lag over.)

have a fabulous day. i'm off to work and then am off tomorrow and thursday! woohoo!

peace, lovelies...
