In my opinion, one of the best things about the Crazy Daisy Kit Co. is that there is a mini book in every kit. I know that it’s tough getting all your scrapping done month after month … life keeps us all busy, doesn’t it.
I’ve found that if I bite off little bits at a time, I am more likely to keep up-to-date on my scrapping and actually get real, meanigful projects done. That’s why we wanted to have a mini book in every kit. It would give you a chance to start and finish at least one project a month. You could pat yourself on the back each month and feel great about committing your story to a mini book month after month. And then at the end of the year, you could look back and admire, not one, but 12 different mini books and their distinct perspective on your life.
For November, our design team did amazing things with the Bazzill Accordion Album from this month’s kit. I love how each of them had the same tools and supplies … but the end result is so distinct, so personal.
So, here’s a little inspiration on just what you could do with the November mini book. To let this month end without taking a little time to craft away and tell you story.

Grace Tolman and her Family Fave Mini book:
“I used all the leftover products from my making my five layouts to make this mini book. I love that Crazy Daisy kits are chock full of items that there’s no limit to how many projects you can finish with the kit.
Being a scrapbooker, I’ve accumulated a TONof pictures over the years. Most of them of course go into scrapbooks but there are certain ones that are my favorites that doesn’t go into any scrapbook category so I’m filing them here in this minibook.
I chose pictures from one year and will print them as regular 4×6 sized photos so I can slap them quickly into this book.
I’m intending to give this to my mother in law for Christmas but you can also keep this project to yourself as a brag book. I love that the Bazzill mini book is easily adaptable to any project theme.
The fun embellishments included in the kit made this project easy and full of great details.”

“This mini is for our great family friend Nancy who hosts an old fashioned hayride, bonfire fall party each year. I used photos from years past up through this year which I thought coordinated so well with this month’s selection of papers and embellishments. I used the Autumn Harvest Clear Cuts throughout the book and actually cut them into to use across two of the panels.
The Jenni Bowlin library cards were perfect for the bulk of my journaling throughout the mini.
This Bazzill mini accordian book has so many possibilities! I love that you can spread this out and display the entire thing. ”

Trace's mini-book
“I had a lot of fun working with the mini album included in the kit. The title of it is ’40 reasons to be thankful in these 8 days.’
I decided to take a picture every day for 8 days, and for each day to write 5 things that I was thankful for on that day. I find that its so easy to take every day things for granted, so if I take a step back and concentrate on these little things that I am thankful for, then maybe I will be more appreciative of things.
For the cover, I cut the flower/plant design from the ribbon, and adhered to the patterned paper. I used the “to” sticker as part of my title.
For the inside pages: When you open the book, on the left hand side of each page there will be a picture of something from that day, and then on the right hand side, I have my journaling of the 5 things I was thankful for on those days I have only journaled yesterday & today (because I just started my list yesterday). So I will add the pictures to the album as I go along.”
