Member Spotlight: Heather

Posted on March 4, 2010 by crazydaisy

Our member spotlight is my favorite post of the week. I love the opportunity to see what you all are creating and get to know you a little better in the process. Our latest in Heather Innusa. She won our giveaway a few weeks back and we’re pleased to have her in our little scrappy family.

So here’s a little bit about Heather:


1. I started scrapbooking …I’ve loved everything sticker/paper//pens/glue … sigh … since I was a teenager, however, it wasn’t until my niece was born 9 years ago that I really got the scrapbooking bug. Now that I have 2 babies of my own (Christian is almost 5 and Alivia’s almost 2) there’s just no end in sight.

2. My favorite scrapbooking product, tool or manufacturer is …my Fiscars paper trimmer has to be at the top of the LOOOONGlist along with my crop-a-dile. I use both of them almost every time I scrap!! Glossy Accents is my fave glue for everything!! I’ve fallen in love with making mini books, so Maya Road is a must for that. October Afternoon has beautiful papers and stickers, and American Crafts … gosh, I love them as well … almost nothing can make my day as happy as those cute little “flair” buttons and all those Thickers!! Fancy Pants is always great! Tim Holtz’s products are also on my must haves!!

3. My favorite thing to scrapbook about is … My babies, niece, and my hubby. They inspire me daily and everyday is something new.

4. I scrapbook because … First and foremost, I want to preserve and document our memories. It seems that they fade so quickly in the busyness of life. I want to preserve them for both my babies and myself. I want them to know how we felt at the time, what we experienced … the feelings and stories behind the pictures are very important to me. Secondly, I LOOOOVEscrapbooking because it IS my creative outlet. There is this quote from Michael Bridge “When our eyes see our hands doing the works of our hearts, the circle of creation is completed inside us, the doors of our soul flies open and love steps forth to heal everything in sight”. I feel that way when I scrap. It just makes me happy.

5. I am the happiest when … I think of all of the blessings that God has given me (my wonderful husband, my amazing babies, our families, church, friends, health, jobs, etc.) … and, I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say that I’m filled with bliss every time I complete a scrapping project ;)

And a bonus question:

My favorite scrappy or crafty web site is ….I love October Afternoon, Maya Road, and Two Peas in a Bucket. I check out Ali Edwards, Jennifer McGuire, Elizabeth Kartchner, and Tim Holtz’ blogs often for inspiration, and then I just basically blog hop from there – there’s no telling where I’ll end up ;) !!

As always, I have saved the best for last … a look at some pages Heather created. I love her style. And is’t especially gratifiying to see the pieces of our kit come together to make such a lovely creation! Thanks for sharing Heather … you rock!

Member Spotlight: Kristen Stewart

Posted on February 25, 2010 by crazydaisy

One of the best parts of starting and running Crazy Daisy has been the opportunity we have had to meet really cool people. Jennifer and I live in different states. We have know each other forever. Even with the distance, she is the person I talk to and confide in the most. Jen has a lot of girlfriends, whereas I’m a little more isolated and have had trouble making friends since moving to Arizona (I know, pathetic!). But I find great joy and comfort in the virtual friends I have been making thanks to Crazy Daisy. I look forward to your emails. I stalk your blogs. I think it would be really awesome if we actually meet some day!

Why do I tell you this? ‘Cause I want to introduce you to one of my new “virtual” friends: Kristen Stewart. Kristen is a member of Crazy Daisy, super cute and of course a mama like many of us out there who love to scrapbook. I was checking out some of the scrapbook pages she created recently and I LOVE, LOVE her style.

So, meet my new friend Kristen!


 

1. I started scrapbooking … somewhere around 2000, I think.

2. My favorite scrapbooking product, tool or manufacturer is … Right now it would have to be chipboard; letters, number, shapes…heck anything chipboard.

3. My favorite thing to scrapbook about is … My kids (cliché I know). But, specifically, when they were little, because now they are teenagers and scrapping pictures of them when they were little reminds me that they once loved me and didn’t think I was the meanest human being on earth.

4. I scrapbook because … It exercises the left side of my brain…I work with my right as a tax accountant, this makes me balanced.

5. I am the happiest when … I am on a scrap retreat with my friends…lots of food, fun, laughing, and of coarse scrapping.

And a bonus question:

My favorite scrappy or crafty web site is …. I love Cathy Zielske’s blog, Bits & Pieces. She just cracks me up. She is open and honest and I love her style.


And of course … here’s a looksy at some pages Kristen has created!



Kristen, thank you so much for sharing! It’s been great to get to know you better and see some layouts you’ve created! We are happy to have you in the Crazy Daisy family.

If you’d like to be featured in our Member spotlight section, send me an email.  Have a GREAT Thursday.

Member Spotlight: Susan E.

Posted on February 18, 2010 by crazydaisy

Another new addition to the Crazy Daisy Blog will be weekly member spotlights.

In order to do this, we need your help. Send us pictures of what you create with out kits. We’d love to see what you do, share it with others and be inspired by your craftiness. Please! Share! We all want to see what you do with the kit! Email me  and I’ll get you on the blog.

This week we are excited to introduce you to Susan Eldridge.  I was so excited when Susan answered my call for members to send in their work. Before I even asked for members to send in their creations, I have been to Susan’s blog and thought she was pretty cool. Now all of you can think she’s cool too!

So, here’s a little bit about Susan …


1. I started scrapbooking … about six years ago because I love crafting and I finally gave in to scrapbooking. I haven’t really been a fast scrapbooker, but I’m hoping to pick up the pace this year.

2. My favorite scrapbooking product, tool or manufacturer is … I don’t think I could scrapbook without my ruler and xacto knife. I’m always impressed with the papers from Basic Grey.

3. My favorite thing to scrapbook about is …  my girls. Probably 95% of what I scrapbook is about them, but this year I’m trying to include myself and the hubs more.

4. I scrapbook because …  it’s my creative outlet and my de-stresser. I love capturing the memories for my girls and hope they love my scrapbooks as much I would have loved to have some from my mother.

5. I am the happiest when … I’m looking back at old photos and recall various memories from that time.

Check out more of Susan’s work and get to know her a little better on her blog. And her are some layouts Susan created using the Crazy Daisy February 2010 Main Kit.

According to Lisa, “This is an altered tissue box.  I was going to use it for a desktop trash can, but it is too cute for trash…or at least I think so. Those are my boys!
