I am so loving this month’s mini kit. I’m a brown, earthy girl … so this kit is right up my alley. It’s the prefect kit for transitioning into fall and cooler weather!
Check out the adorable (seriously adorable) layouts Kelly Hansen created with this kit. Love ‘em.

Need help getting your July mini-book done? Here’s what Trace did with her Maya Road star shaped chipboard album:
Trace's mini-book for July
“The title of this album is ‘live laugh love.’ I alternated using the chipboard stars, some of the patterned paper tags, and the journaling tags.
An inside page from the mini-book
I covered most of the stars with patterned paper, but for the front & back cover, I repeatedly stamped all over them, using the Bingo stamp and brown ink.
The back of Trace's mini-book
On one of the inside pages, I covered the chipboard star with my leftover rub-ons, to make it look like funky patterned paper. My inside pages are very simple…2 small pictures, rub-ons, and maybe a simple embellishment. I kept my journaling to the tags inside the book. I made this book for my nephew as a reminder of the special bond he shares with my son.”

Love the colors. Love the flower. Love it all!
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.
Then check out this page by Miss Kim. I love, love her style.
What about this page? Isn’t it just adorable?
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.”
For more inspiration, check back tomorrow for more layouts by Kim. You can also head over to our gallery for more photos!
A layout from Michele Brooks, which she created with the March Add-on kit.
I got an email the other day from a cool girl named Michele. She sent me a picture of a layout she created using our March Add-on kit. It’s such a cute page, so I just had to share.
I was looking at Michele’s blog and I have to tell you, she does some very awesome work. I just love the pages she creates. Check her out. Trust me, you’ll be inspired.
Thanks so much for sharing with us Michele, you rock!
Check out the super cute pages Miss Kimcreated using the May 2009 Main kit. Love ‘em. I love them so much I might just scraplift them!
For more ideas on how to use your May kit, keep checking back! There are also more photos on Kim’s blog and in our gallery.
We 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.
Here are a couple of page ideas from Alex, using the April Main kit.
I love what she’s done with the pages. Her style is super cool and way different than my own, which was fun to see. I would have never, ever thought to create pages like this (which is exactly why we asked Alex to help us out).
Go create something cool and make an extra page for me, since I’m knee deep in breastfeeding and poopy diapers.

Cool Alex with a super cool picture!
We have a WONDERFUL guest designer this month, Alex Hardy. She graciously agreed to help us out, which we need this month given the arrival of my very hungry and needy little baby! As I’m spending all of my time nursing Cooper, Alex has been working away at creating samples with the April 2009 Main kit. And you’ll love what she’s done, I sure do!
I asked Alex to tell you all a little bit about herself and this is what she had to say:
“I’m a wife, mama of three boys, & craft lover. I’ve scrapbooked as
long as I can remember (going back to my childhood). I work and teach
part-time at my local scrapbook store. It’s such an honor to design
for Crazy Daisy Kits!”
Alex and I actually met while taking a class together at our local scrapbooking store (the one she teaches at). And she was one of my first new friends when I moved to town almost two years ago. She’s super cool, and has a great scrapbooking style.
Enjoy. There willl be more to come and the month goes on. And if I can get my little guy on a schedule, there are already SO many pages I want to scrap since his arrival.
Have a great day!
