A little something from Becky

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Hello there. Happy Saturday. Christmas preparations are in full swing at my house. I’ve made a goal to wrap at least one present a day, so I won’t be stuck wrapping a mountain of presents late into the night on Christmas Eve. I know already have most of my children’s presents wrapped, so I’m feeling great. My daughter thinks it’s awesome that there are presents under the tree, though she is constantly begging to open “just one present!”

Here are a couple of wonderful layouts from our guest designer of the month, BeckyNovacek. There are more pages coming, but I just couldn’t wait to show you some fun pages from Becky.

I know I say this every month, but I think this is my favorite kit. It’s so festive. I just love, love it!

me 044 webAre you ready for some Guest Designer goodness?

We are super excited to welcome Becky Novacek  as our December Guest Designer.

She’ll be whipping out December Main Kit into some fabulous layouts and we can’t wait to show you all her creations.

Here’s a little bit about Becky to tide you over until we unveil her crafty goodness.

“about 8 years ago, i started really getting into scrapbooking. i mean i really got into it! i loved looking online at layouts in galleries and found myself wanting my scrapbooking to be more than just documenting birthdays and holidays. i wanted to document the every day happenings….as well as my feelings. it became my way of expressing myself not only visually, but i also felt like it was almost therapeutic for me to express my feelings toward my family and loved ones. the empty nest season of life hit me pretty hard at first….but as i created pages about my children as they became more and more independent, it helped me to feel better about what i had done with the child rearing season of life. deep, i know :) but it is true! i still love it as much, if not more than i did in the beginning. i love to spend time in my studio making pages about us. i also have a passion for photography, so it’s the perfect combination of interests for me.”

Becky, thank you for being a part of the Crazy Daisy experience. We think you’re one cool and talented chica.

She recently accepted a new job with Basic Grey and is thrilled to be working for such a great company with such yummy products!

October Guest Designer: Celeste Smith

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

We are so thrilled to have the talented Celeste Smith as our guest designer for October. Here’s a little but about Celeste.

October's Guest Designer, Celeste Smith

October's Guest Designer, Celeste Smith

“I live in Connecticut with my wonderful husband of ten years, Terry and our two cute boys, Adam (7) and Sam (5). They are my primary scrapping subjects and my sometimes unwilling models.

 Scrapbooking is my creative outlet. As a full-time competitive analyst at a large insurance company, my days are filled with details and numbers. My evenings are filled with patterns, color and design. A real stress reliever!

My style has been consistently clean and graphic with a bit of funkiness thrown in for good measure. I love clean straight lines and lots of color. Don’t get me started talking about scrapbook product – I am a collector extraordinaire!

I’m excited to have the opportunity to guest design for Crazy Daisy Kits! “

And now for the really exciting part. Here’s what Celeste did with our October 2009 Main Scrapbooking Kit.

By now you have your September kit in hand and are crafting away. Here’s what the amazing Celine Navarro did with her kit. Be inspired! I know I was/am by her work .

I love the color.

I love the paint.

I love the boldness.

I love what she did with the teardrop shaped chipboard pieces. How clever is that?

I just love Celine (I mean come on, how can you not lover her work? And her wonderful French name? I love that too. )

P.S. I have some more photos to share from Celine. Detailed shots of all her layouts. I’m having some technical issues (which also might just be me being tired, sick and ready for bed!). Once I resolves those I promise to share.

August Guest Designer: Debee Campos

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

There are so many talented artists out there creating away and I’m beyond excited that one of my favorites agreed to be our guest designer for the month of August. Debee Campos accepted the challenge of putting her signature touch on the August Main kit … and boy did she. Everything she created with the August kit is stunning. Simply stunning.

debee__loves_artHere’s a little bit about Debee and then I’ll show you what she created!

“Hello I’m Debee. I love art. Spray paint and crazy sewing lines. I’m on the verge of change both in my life and in my art. I recently married my best friend Mr. Handsome and we purchased a home together at the same time. We are crazy but altogether happy :) He inspires me to reach higher, dream bigger and live a life full of grace. And I love him for that. I LOVE being a free-lance Graphic Designer/Artist and playing with paper & my Mac. I enjoy Happy Meals, rockin’ the drums, salty chips, cinnamon dulce fraps from Starbucks and a good chick flick. I share my art, my loves and thoughts here at my blog. Thank you Crazy Daisy Kits for letting me rock with you!”
