Well then here you go. Here are some really cool ways to use the June Main kit, courtesy of the talented ladies of the Crazy Daisy Design Team.
Here’s “Lunch with Godzilla” by JJ Sobey:
“These pictures of my son are just so typical, I couldn’t wait to scrap them. He loves his grilled cheese, and he loves his monster toys. 
Pictures of a big monster needed a big title, so the corrugated letters in the kit were ideal. I linked them with Distress Ink in ‘Peeled Paint’ and ‘Brushed Corduroy.’ Then I stapled them to the layout, because staples are just so perfect with kraft coloured cardstock. I used a little StazOn ink in brown, to grunge up the buttons, as I wanted a more ‘dirty’ look for this page.
I had fun with a new border punch on this layout – it’s supposed to make an edge like a postage stamp. If you aren’t going for a postage stamp look, though, you’d never know – it’s just an interesting edge, and a lot less girly than most, so perfect for ‘boy pages’. I also kept some of the punched bits, and used them as little accents around the page.
I also cut out one of the captions from the printed note papers, and glued it to the fabric tag. And if you look close, I took some of the scraps leftover from the fabric piece (after making my flowers for another LO), and tucked them in a couple of spots. Why waste those cute little triangles?”
Now here’s a really cute page by Kim Whitten:
“An 8.5×11 LO I did early this week. The inspiration for this entire layout was actually an accident which is that crazy flower piece under the picture. I had used the Basic Grey chipboard piece on an earlier layout so I just used the reverse part left in the sheet as a sort of stencil and placed it on a scrap piece of black cardstock laying on my table and gesso’d the image.
It seeped through in places, but I decided to just play around with it and broke out my watercolor pencils (LOVE THOSE THINGS) and colored in the leaves with red, orange and yellow. After some outlining with my Sharpie, I cut around it and, voila! I used a piece of kraft paper as the base then layered some patterned paper from the June kit and a page from a vintage paperback I had.
I also used the Prima packaging from the felt branch in last month’s kit – I loved the kraft and blue grid pattern, the birds, and the scalloped edges! I had picked up several paint chips awhile back at my local Wal-Mart paint department so I used the orange one on this LO. Journaling right on the photo was perfect for this one with the light background.. ”
This is my stepdaughter whom I am very proud of.”
Check back tomorrow for some more layouts from our design team. And be on the look out for more sneak peeks for July. We’ll be posting more photos all week.
