Too busy to scrapbook, then why not make a card or two? I personally love getting snail mail. Every time I go to my mailbox, I’m hoping for some real mail, instead of just bills. If I were to get a handmade card in the mail I’d really feel special.
Trace's card
Need a little help getting started with your card making? Well, Trace created a card using some scraps from this month’s kit. Here’s what she had to say about the the card she made:
“I made a card from the kit using my paper scraps and some of the leftover embellishments. The title of this card is ’everyday love.’ I applied the stitched letter rub-ons onto the paper that includes the days of the week. I stapled the flower onto a chipboard flower and then attached it to the card.”
Make a card with some of the supplies from you kit and send us a picture so when can see what you did. Email us info@crazydaisykits.com.

It’s Friday and I know all of you crafters out there are ready for the weekend. I know I look forward to the weekends, because I always have more time to create (maybe that’s because my husband is home and can wrangle the kids!).
Here are two different layouts, from two different design team members. Both were created using the June Main Kit. Hope you like them as much as we do!
"Play" by Trace
Here’s a little on how Trace created this page:
“Before I added anything to my cardstock, I sprayed some black Maya Mist over it to get a speckled look. Once that had dried (maybe 2 minutes) I cut some strips of patterned paper.
When I start a layout, I never have a plan ahead of time of what I will do with it. My first step is trimming patterned paper to different sizes, and arrange the paper and picture, and from there the layout comes together.
I hand cut a bee from the Basic Grey paper, added a pop dot and placed it over the bee print still on the patterned paper. I love the Canvas Prima tag!!! I added my journaling directly onto it. I’m also a huge fan of paint, so I added some to the S monogram.”
A layout by Grace
Here’s a little on how Grace created her “Walk with M” page:
“On this page, I used the felt ric-rac, green fabric, chipboard shapes, buttons and the stitched alphabet rub-on. I machine stitched the fabric onto my page which complemented the stitched letter rub-ons.”
So, now that you’ve seen some awesome layouts and have a little inspiration, I have a question. What are you going to work on this weekend? What are you going to create?

The cover of Kim's mini-book
I have been looking forward to seeing what our design team would do with this month’s mini-book. We’ve see what Grace did with hers, now check out what Kim created … a prayer book.
Here’s what Kim had to say about her project:
“I’ve been wanting to make (a prayer journal) for awhile — I knew immediately what I wanted to do with this when I saw it!
I actually took the book apart so I could work with the covers easier with my machine. I just carefully spread apart the spiral — remembering exactly how it went back together — and took the pages out.
I used the vinyl Thickers for the “PRAY” title, but I first peeled the thin layer of adhesive off the back so it would not gum up my needle on my sewing machine — knew that from experience! A little tip, if it does happen use some adhesive remover such as UnDu or Uh-Oh clean the needle and machine. I also sewed pieces of the cute green fabric & felt ric-rack and made some little flowers on back with machine stitching (or you could hand stitch) and a few of the buttons from the kit.
After I had the covers like I wanted them, I added some pattern paper from June’s kit to the inside cover so it would hide some of my sewing mess! I wanted to keep the inside pages pretty simple so I can fill them with my own prayer journaling or notes so I used some acrylic paint & black ink on the edges and then I just used bits and pieces of paper and embellies and my own handwriting to add some scripture about prayer on each page.
An inside page
These would make great gifts for a Sunday School teacher or prayer partner but I may have to keep this one for myself! 
”

Looking for some ideas on just how to use the June Main Kit? Here’s a layout from Trace, along with a little bit of info on how she created it …
A layout from Trace using items from the June 2009 Main Kit
“The title of this layout is ‘Love how I feel today.’
I outlined the Thickers to make them pop more over the blue patterned paper. I rubbed an ink pad over the chipboard journaling spot, and then inked the edges before adding my journaling to it. I added a button to each scallop.
I LOVE those stitched autumn leaves rub-ons, and added a heart to the end of my title, before adding the date from the pictures.”
Check back tomorrow to see what Kim did with her June mini-book … she created a prayer book out of it.

A look at the cover of Grace's mini-book
Our design team member Grace worked her magic on this month’s mini-book. Check out what she’s done. Interested in knowing how Grace came up with the idea for the mini-book and a little of what went into creating it? Then read on.
“The theme of the book was inspired by the ‘notes’ sheets in the kit. I cut out each of the titles of these sheets and used them as tabs for my ‘planner’ book.
I didn’t decorate the front that much since it had the pretty bird and floral pattern on it already. I did add a few pebbles to the top to create some balance.
I decorated the first page with pattern paper, border trims and flower. I used the leftover canvas sheet to write a little title.
To decorate the rest of the pages, I punched out circles from the pattern paper, cut them in half and adhere them on the edges. This gave the white pages some life and yet left room for whatever I have to write on there.
For the back, I created a monogrammed block by covering one of the chipboard blocks with pattern paper and adding my initial in the middle.”
