Halloween Checklist Mini
By Grace Tolman
This mini was inspired by one of the papers in the kit. It was the MME kraft paper that had fun things noted about Halloween. One part there was the Halloween checklist. I decided to cut them off and use that as the spring board for the mini.
Of course I used the wonderful Basic Grey mini. I covered the more part of it with pattern paper. I used the Pink Paislee paper for the front page because I loved the tree and tombstone designs on it. With that on my front page, I knew that I didn’t have to dress the cover too much just to emphasize the theme.
I added some orange glitter glue around the front and back covers and placed the title block on the cover.
For the inside pages, I visualized it to be simple and repetitive. I feel there’s nothing wrong with the inside pages being the same basic design. It actually brings all of the pages together.
This book will most likely be for this year’s Halloween’s activities so I left lots of spaces for pictures with precut white cardstock. These cardstock will also act as matting for my photos when I’m ready to print and add them to the book. It’ll save me time in the future.
I also sprinkled the JBS buttons in there. The acted as my one constant embellishment all through out the book.
And for the back (above), the Pink Paislee paper again and added a simple strip of paper to add my signature.
Hope you like it!
-Grace

Be Prepared!
By Amy Kingsford
Though many of you may have children that aren’t quite in school yet, you can still put all of those beautiful school-themed chipboard elements and papers in September’s Main Kit to good use…by building a pre-made mini album for your child’s first year of school!
I put together this 1st Year of School album for my son Caleb, who is currently 2! Now some might call this a little over zealous, but I choose to call it “being prepared!” Something every parent longs to be, but rarely is…lol! So here is a peak at some of my pages and some ideas for creating your very own premade 1s Year if School Album for you little one!
Now every child’s school experience will be different, but here are a few ideas for generic pages to include before hand and then when the time is right you can tailor the album to your child’s specific school experience!
• A My School Page-perfect for a picture of your new academic in front of his school’s flagpole!
• An Introduction Page-Include your child’s name, school name,their grade and their teacher’s name.
• Projects Page- to chronicle your child’s assignments, creations, and projects.
• A Report Card/Grades-to keep track of grades or report cards.
• A Friends/Children at Play-perfect for pictures of friends or fun school photos.
• A Fieldtrips Page- to showcase some of the places your child visited in school.
• A Sports Page- pages for sports team photos and memorabilia.
• An Awards and Certificates Page-to showcase your child’s achievements
Note: The idea of creating a book BEFORE the event is super cool and takes some of the stress out of recording your memories. You could do this for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas …. Amy used the September Main kit for this project, but you could use anything in your stash.

Card trio
By Grace Tolman
I love, love, love the Crazy Daisy main kits. There’s enough products to give you a whole month’s worth of projects. Here’s what I made with my leftovers.
Yes, most of the items in these cards are leftovers from 5 layouts AND one album! You really can’t beat a kit like this!
For the cards, I used the MME journaling blocks as my main inspiration.
For the Sending Happy thoughts card (photo below), I used the bike block. I think it’s soo cool and vintage. I kept the card simple as to not overpower that wonderful bike image. I also used the MME flocked diamond paper as background to add to the sophisticated look. The tape was used here too.
For the Only you card, I used a green background to make the rest of the neutral colors to pop. I added a purple ribbon (from my stash) to compliment the green.
For the Happy Halloween card, I used the bird MME block as my inspiration then added the Happy Halloween strip and Oct. 31 which was cut from a MME paper.
Hope this set inspired you to dig through those October main kits and make something today.

I go through these phases where I create all sorts of goodies and right now I’m all about digital scrapbooking. I love, love the flexibility it gives me. I can scrap anywhere, at any time. Love it.
Here are a few new pages I’ve created.

My hubby was out of town this weekend, so I have had lots of time to create. I have been working on some digi layouts and wanted to share them!
I’m still working on a few more and hope to have them done soon … it’s so nice to feel productive!

I could apologize for posting these late and promise that I will never, ever be late again … but I’m sure I will be late again at some point! But, better late than never, right?
So, here’s the latest kit from Crazy Daisy Kits.
October 2010 Main Kit
And here’s a look at our October 2010 ”Dead Darlene Halloween” Mini Kit. Our fabulous friend Darlene loves, loves Halloween, so we asked her to design a “scary’ Halloween kit for us. This kit is adorable and features all of Darlene’s favorite spooky things:

What’s new you ask? I’ve been enjoying some much needed down time at home. Lots of snuggles. Lots of rest. And not very much Crazy Daisy. I needed a break from everything and my kiddos needed their mama. It’s been super nice.
But, there are some things I have been doing. I am taking a course with Big Picture Classses … Me: The Abridged Version taught by Cathy Zielske. I’m so loving it. It is super heavy on the writing, which is right up my alley. I’m doing my book 100 percent digi, so I’m hoping to finish it up soon and be able to share it. It’s been a great process.
I’m reading “Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life” by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. The book was Cathy’s inspiration for her Big Picture class and it’s quite inspiring. It’s an easy read and I highly recommend it.
I had a bunch of digi layouts (32 to be exact) printed at Persnickety Prints. They are having their semi-annual sale and 12×12 prints are just $1.49. The sale goes through tomorrow, Oct. 4. I can’t wait to get them and slide them into an album!
Check out some of these adorable layouts from our fab design team … if you’re like me, you’re still working through your September kit and could use a little inspiration!
From Katie Turner:
Amber Zimmerman:
Don’t you just love what Amber did in the layout above?
She stitched around some of the stars on the patterned paper. So cute. So clever.

Happy Thursday. I mean Friday. Happy Friday. I’ve been totally off this week and have had my days screwed up!
The September kits were shipped out last week, so most of you should have recieved yours by now or will very soon. As you’re getting started, here’s a look at what Grace did with the September Main Kit. I always love looking at what Grace does with our kits. She’s amazing. I’m always inspired with her work.
So feast on her amazingness!
*******************
1st day of 1st grade
This is the first page I made with the kit. I wanted to mat that notebook paper onto brown cardstock to make it stand out more. I cut out the report card paper to create an uneven border with it. I also used the typed paper from Crate Paper as part of my border and tore the top end of it for added interest.
I loved layering all the stickers that was in the kit. There were so much to choose from. And to make them stand out a little against the background I adhered them with dimensional adhesive.
I wanted something large for part of my title so I cut out some words from one of the Crate Paper pattern papers. To make it stand out more I also adhered them onto one of the Jillibean soup journaling block.
Animal Show
I’m into block design lately and this layout shows that. I think it makes it easy to create a clean simple design with it.
Anyways I added my pictures first, then on the black spots, I added papers, journaling block and title.
The journaling block had a sun with a number 2 on there. I really didn’t need that 2 in my layout so I covered it with journaling block and then more stickers.
Preschool
Another block design. I’m digging this style because I can place my pictures first and then just fill the empty spaces.
To break the square feel, I tilted that patter paper strips on the right hand side.
Lots of layering here again with the title against the 4 playing card, the border stickers and papers on top of the journaling block, the flower on top of the jillibean soup circle block and the butterfly with stickers collection.
