One of my favorite things to do is surf craft blogs. When my hubby and kiddos are asleep, you’ll often find me sitting on my computer looking for inspiration. I love to read about what people are doing, how they’re doing it and come up with ways to incorporate their techniques into my crafting. There are so many talented people out there, which blogger do you find the most inspiring? Leave a comment and tell us who you’re checking out these days.

A Prayer 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.

These would make great gifts for a Sunday School teacher or prayer partner but I may have to keep this one for myself! :) ”

It’s time to meet another member of our Crazy Daisy 2009 Design Team. The amazing Kim Whitten. Kim served as Crazy Daisy’s guest designer in May and she created some of the cutest layouts ever. Every time I see something she creates I think, “If only I was a fraction as creative as she is.” I’ve been so impressed with everything she does! Kim will be acting as our design team leader and we’re so excited to have her on our team. Wanna know a little bit about Kim? Here’s a bio, in her own words:

kwhitten“I’m a wife, stepmom, dog-mom, daughter, Christian, and friend, who works full-time in marketing and PR for a small, rural community college.

My passion of scrapbooking comes from my love of photography, crafting, art, sewing and story-telling.

I currently have a small Facebook and Twitter addiction and am always adding new blogs to my blog reader, therefore never possibly being able to read them all each day!

I love trying new techniques in my scrapbooking and look forward to being part of the design team for Crazy Daisy Kit Co.”


1. I can’t imagine my life without … God.

1. My least favorite chore is … cleaning – ANYthing   ;)

3. I would love to win a shopping spree to … Etsy.

4. My must have treat and music when scrapbooking is … a bottle of water or coffee and my every changing online play lists featuring a crazy mix of every kind of music from Sara Bareilles to Soundgarden to George Strait

5. When scrapbooking, I love to use … gesso & paint, my sewing machine and every piece of scrap paper!

6. My favorite creative project is … my December Daily album that I did this past December inspired by Ali Edwards. I made it my own and it is full of great memories that I would have forgotten if not for my little daily.  I used pieces of junk mail envelopes, transparencies, kraft paper and other scraps to put it together.  I want to do a July Daily next.

7. I thought I would never … be a homebody.

8. My worst habit is … my lack of patience.

9. If I were a superhero, my super-power would be … to take pictures by blinking my eyes. My 17 yr. stepdaughter calls me the paparazzi!

10. You would never guess it, but I … love the smell of puppy breath! :)

So stinkin’ cute

Here are some more pages from Kim and they are just so stinkin’ cute. They are so bright and fresh … perfect for summer.

What a cute and clever way to spice up a silk flower.

A really cool thing to point out is that Kim has done a ton of pages, a whole mini-book and STILL has lots of supplies left from the May kit to work with. Seriously, there is a ton of stuff crammed into each kit. It’s really the best value out there. If you haven’t joined our club yet, get on it! You won’t be sorry.

Need some inspiration?

Posted on May 27, 2009 by crazydaisy

Then check out this page by Miss Kim. I love, love her style.

LO_MayKit

What about this page? Isn’t it just adorable?

LO_MayKit2

To create this page, Kim used her ruler to rip off the scalloped edges from the scalloped cardstock. The leftover square was just shy of 8×8 so she mounted it to a piece of black cardstock for the 8×8 “Summer” layout (first layout pictured), which also has pieces of leftover patterned paper from the May kit. She also used a the chipboard swirly piece from the March kit to make the ghost shape with spray paint (on the “Summer” layout). Kim say she’s “always looking for new ways to make my products go further.”

Guest Designer for May

Posted on May 11, 2009 by crazydaisy

kwhittenWe are so excited about our May guest designer, Kim Whitten.

We really loved what we she did with the March 2009 Main kit and wanted her to work her magic on the May kit!

When we asked her to share a little bit about herself, this is what she had to say:

“I’m a wife, stepmom, dog-mom, daughter, Christian, and friend, who works full-time in marketing and PR for a small, rural community college.  My passion of scrapbooking comes from my love of photography, crafting, art, sewing and story-telling.  I currently have a small Facebook and Twitter addiction and am always adding new blogs to my blog reader, therefore never possibly being able to read them all each day!  I’m totally honored to be the May guest designer for Crazy Daisy Kit Co.”

We’re honored to have Kim working with us and can’t wait to see what she creates using our amazing May Main kit. Check back for samples from this month’s kit.
