Cocoa Daisy Inspiration Day & Blog Hp

 

Hi! Welcome to my stop on the Cocoa Daisy Day of Inspiration Blog Hop!

You should have come from Kim’s blog.

 If you’re starting here, be sure to go to the Cocoa Daisy blog and check out the rest of the team’s bags!

Here’s my Maya Road hip bag

I used loads of Maya Mists on my bag and applied Jenni Bowlin acrylic paint dabbers from the Daisy Boutique with my fingers. Waiting for each colour to dry before starting another.
I added a big bow (which is the May Arts Ribbon from the April Kit) and some brads too. A couple of pins on the front are very special as they are from my fellow teamie Sharmaine who gave them to me whilst we were in LA.

 And because we ended up having more fun than we thought, we’d like to give a

chance to alter along with the Design Team. Hip bags will be available in the store

come the June kit. Pick up your own to alter and we’ll have the DT vote on a winning

bag. More details will follow!

I’m going to be giving away this Cocoa Daisy bundle.

I've been collecting bits and pieces from my kits and have so many bits unused.  Here are a whole load of stickers, brad packs, embellishment packs, Teresa Collins Sticker Notes, MME Stickers, Wooden & Chipboard embellishments, tags, doilees, glassine envelopes and some exclusive Cocoa Daisy Stamps too. All brand new. I've still got some more kits to go through so will be adding more to this bundle.

 

 

To win these goodies, please leave a comment on my blog and follow me if you don't already and if you LIKE the Cocoa Daisy Facebook page and let me know, I’ll enter you a second time in my drawing! I’ll be closing the drawing on Monday the 6^th of May at 8 AM EST.  One lucky winner will be randomly drawn. I’ll announce the winner here later that week.

Good luck!

I hope you’ve been inspired by my bag!

A Day in the Life - May

I am loving all this sunshine and blue sky business lately.
I hope it stays around for a while.

I've been keeping up with Project Life.
Go Me!

I got the Cocoa Daisy 'A Day in the Life Kit' this month.
It's soooo good and jam packed with goodies. Exclusive Simple Stories/Cocoa Daisy cards, word stickers, embellishments and exclusive Cocoa Daisy Stamps too.

Here's what I made.

 

I love these stamps!!

 

 

And some bits added from our travels this week.

The Day in the Life kits have reduced postage and no added postage at all when bought with a Cocoa Daisy Main kit by the end of the 3rd each month.

I've put together a blog post on Cocoa Daisy today showing the kit and how we on the DT used it this month. Come and see here.

Thanks xxx

Cocoa Daisy Inspiration Day

We would like to invite you to join us at Cocoa Daisy this Saturday 4th May for a day jam packed full of inspiration, fun and games with a blog hop with prizes and a competition.

If you aren't registered yet, please do so here. It's free and the day will be so much fun.

I have a cheeky page to share of Louis today made with my May Cocoa Daisy Kit.

We were sat in the Beaches and Cream Diner in Disneyworld. He was messing about with my camera and wouldn't give it back when Ade asked. He kept snapping away at himself instead. Ade got annoyed and Louis took a photo of him being annoyed before handing it back.
Looking back at these photos last week it did make me laugh. Little devil!!

I used the Buddy addon for this page.
I love those badges.

And the Teresa Collins 'He Said' papers and sticker sheet comes with it too.

The sun is shining again today.
I love these starts to the day.
Puts you in such a good mood.

I really hope you can join us on Saturday xxx

Curly Brown Hair

Happy Monday!!

What was your hair like as a child?
I look at this photo and think what went wrong?

It looks so cute here, I love my brown curls. But not long after Mum hacked it all off and I had short thick bushy hair all the way through until I grew it long when I was a teen.
Mum gave me some curls of mine taken when I was 3 just last weekend. That's how this LO came about. I used the glassine envelope from my Cocoa Daisy kit to pop them in.

 This is the first LO from my May Cocoa Daisy Kit. Record Label.
I struggled this month. I can't remember the last time I said that with a kit.
There's a fair bit of dark and I think that bothered me a little. Once I had pulled out the brights, I think I was fine and ended up with 5 projects made in 2 sittings, so it all came good in the end.

There are some cute addons this month to temp you in.
Like the one with those gorgeous fabric Cosmo Cricket Brads and those Thickers too.
So good!!
The kit and addons go on sale here on the 1st for all the non subbers.
Until then, here's the full designers gallery to see for some wicked inspiration.

Enjoy your Monday xxx

Some Sneaks

Hello.
Happy Sunday to you.
It's been a busy week.
Can you tell? No blogging : )

I've been working such long hours again.
I've also used my kitchen aid for the first time. I made an orange and cranberry cake to break it in.
I also made some spiced Pumpkin muffins to take to the crop yesterday.

The crop was fun and a taught a LO class too.
I made a new friend. Alexa Gill also known as Curly Wiggles online. 
I know Alexa through Cocoa Daisy and it was so good to sit next to her and scrap and chat in person. I can't wait to chat with her again.
And I had my lovely friend Paula on my other side too.
A lovely day.

Aswell as work this week I've been working on my new Cocoa Daisy kit that arrived.
The reveal is tonight here.

My LO's are finally loaded to the gallery ready for tonight.
Here are some sneaks in the meantime.

I'm about to get stuck in to some work.
We are having a home day today after us all being out all day yesterday.
The kids made pancakes for breakfast, homework is now being done and whilst I work in the family room we are going to catch up with this weeks Modern Family, The Middle and Big Bang.
We missed them on Friday as we watched the Grimm series to the end so we could return Paula's dvds to her yesterday.

I hope you are having a good weekend.
Lots of love xxx

10 Ways with Masks

That's the class that I'm teaching tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it.

We will be making something like this.

 

And a little mini canvas too.

 

 

All the details are here.

It's going to be a fun one. Just 2 more spaces left if you are free and want to play.

 

Have a fab weekend xxx

The Everyday Stuff

Hi.
It's Wednesday, it's raining and my mug is empty.
Not good.
I must go and make another latte in a sec.
How's the week going for you?

It's everyday stuff here today.

I've been doing some more with my Project Life-ish.
I'm enjoying keeping bits and pieces like receipts and tickets in my PL box ready to use. It feels good to record everyday stuff without having to make a whole 12x12 page about it.

    
I've put a blog post together for Papermaze which is live today here.
There are some more PL pages and some tips on cool photo editing and printing off instagram pics.

I've started back at work on my Orlando Trip Report. It's time consuming, but I kept a photo and written diary whilst away because I wanted to look back on the trip in detail like this, so I need to make an effort to continue. It's so fun to look back on.
I managed to get 2 more days done yesterday.
I've added a link on my sidebar today of the report in progress. Here's a link if you fancy a nose.  
541 days to go until we are back again : )

And finally today my Kitchenaid mixer is due for delivery.
How happy am I?????
I really wanted Ice Blue but it was out of stock, so Ade bought it for my birthday last month and I received a printed photo on the day.
I can't wait for it to arrive.

I need to make that second mug of latte now.
It feels so chilly today.
Thanks for stopping by. xxx

Ways with Masks & Stencils Class

I'm so looking forward to my 'Ways with Masks & Stencils' class on Sunday this weekend.
It's in Swindon, UK in Sparkle Dreams.

We will be covering lots of different techniques on how to get the most out of your masks & stencils, clean and dirty and not the usual misting.
The class runs from 10.30am-1pm and we will be making a mini canvas like this and a LO too.
It's £16 per person.

You can see here for all the details.
I love teaching here, it's such a friendly place. I look forward to it every month.

Cocoa Daisy Sneaks - Record Label & a Freebie

It's that time of month when we start wondering what's coming in the next Cocoa Daisy Kit.
This one is such a contrast to what we've had so far this year.
That's what I love about Cocoa Daisy, the kits are all so different.

Here's some sneaks for you.

We are also offering free Cocoa Daisy Grab Bags.
Here's how you can grab yourself one.

Every month we have leftover bits and pieces from our kits and add ons and the Bunker is starting to get a little tight, so we have decided to create some Grab Bags. Each Grab Bag will be filled with at least $25.00 worth of goodies from the last few month's kits and add ons.

We have two ways you can get one:

1. Get yours Free when you sign up for a 6 month main kit subscription. Just enter "GRAB BAG" in the comments section when you check out.

2. Share this Cocoa Daisy Facebook post on your timeline and be entered to win a Free Grab Bag! One winner will be picked on Friday April 19th.

Have a lovely day xx
