It’s a layout extravaganza this week on the Crazy Daisy blog. I’m so loving all the different layouts from the Crazy Daisy girls and just how different each of their styles and perspectives are. Who knew you could do so many different things with all the same supplies? Today’s installment comes from the wonderful JJ Sobey.
“He Makes Her Laugh”
- A layout by JJ Sobey using the August Main Kit
“I really wanted to try something different with the wonderful die cut paper from Crate, so I cut it in two, and arranged it as shown on the background paper. Then I stitched between the two pieces. I used the Pink Paisley chipboard shape for my title, and added some buttons and a couple flowers from my stash. I also used one of the phrase stickers as part of my title. I wanted to rough up the chipboard a little, so I sanded the edges and added StazOn ink.
I loved this suede flower from Maya Road. Such great texture. After I adhered it to my layout, I realized there wasn’t enough contrast, so I added some chocolate brown flowers around the edge. I added a few of the Pink Paisley rub-ons around the journaling, to draw a little more attention to the strips. I took this picture back in December. Even then, at only 4 months old, Rhys found Liam to be very funny. He still makes her laugh, and I love the sound!”

“Bottoms Up”
“I love how well the Basic Grey and Pink Paisley lines coordinated in this kit. Like they were made for each other. I did a lot of layering and inking on this page. There was a title card from My Mind’s Eye in the kit, and I really liked how it looked behind part of the layers. I didn’t want to hide the entire card though, so I just cut off and used the ends. I traced around the felt letters with a marker to make them pop a little more. I also added a few items to the top corner, to balance the layout. I had the coordinating Pink Paisley journal spot in my stash, so I used it here. I distressed the edges to make it work better with the layout.”

As promised, here are another batch of layouts using the August 2009 Main scrapbooking kit. These layouts are courtesy of Jackie, who recently joined our design team. We’re so excited to have Jackie on our team and love what she’s done with the August kit.
“TOGETHER”
A layout by Jackie Laing using the August Main Kit
“I sanded the chipboard butterfly in the circle and then paper pierced all the way around it….and tied knots of thread to add some texture.”
“PURE JOY”
“The big butterfly is a link from the mini book. I also added half of the cute overlay from the kit on the butterfly!”
“REMEMBER”
“If you look at the ribbon you can see I applied some of the rub ons right on the ribbon to dress it up a bit.”
“HAPPINESS”
“I used the other half of the overlay as a pocket to hold my journaling card.”

As our wonderful Design Team has been submitting their creations for the month of August, I’ve been struck by how different each of these ladies are when it comes to their interpretation of the August 2009 Main kit. It just goes to show you no matter what you style or perspective is, you can take the supplies in our kit and create lots of amazing layouts.
For today, here’s a look at what Grace did. Tomorrow, check back to see Jackie’s take on the kit. And later in the week, I’ll post post some creations from Kim, JJ and Trace.
Enjoy!
Our Family
"Our Family" by Grace Tolman
“At the end of last year, I wrote a little summary of what each member of my family accomplished that year in my blog. I liked the idea so much that I printed the same pictures that I used in the post plus copy and paste the text onto a word document and printed that out as well. I strongly feel that blog is another great way of scrapbooking. Sometimes we think it’s time taking away from actual paper crafting but when you have pictures and text already saves somewhere, like the blog, it frees you up from shuffling through your picture files and writing text/journaling. It’s all in the blog, all you need to do is copy and paste. More time to play with paper is always a plus in my book.
Since this is a two page spread, I had to spread the supplies a little further to cover up the bigger space. I cut out patter paper strips, glued them down as borders (top and bottom of my pictures) and added machine stitching for texture. I created a visual triangle with the orange color word sticker, flower and rubon.”

Star Student
“This page documented how well my son has grown through his first year in school. I had a heavy load of journaling which I balanced with picture and stars from pattern paper on the top.
I was able to feature a few of the papers in the kit here by using them for my stars. The big chipboard star in the middle was from July’s kit (it’s a good thing to save leftovers from previous kits) and used that as my foundation for the collage of elements in the middle.”

This is Fun
“I got the idea for this page when I saw the Heidi Swapp stickers in the kit, especially the one that I used here for my title. It definitely worked out for these pictures of my sister on the trampoline. I played up the butterflies here, using the foiled embossed butterflies, butterfly ribbon and cutting out some from the Jenni Bowlin paper. I also added a butterfly stamp (from my stash) to complete the visual triangle.”

Pio Pico
“Here’s some pictures of a trip that my family took to a local historic museum last year. I was so surprise that by lining up little pictures,I was able to fit so many of them in one page. I used the transparency here to give more emphasis to my focal picture and added my title to an empty space on the picture as well. I had to take the picture of this page at an angle cause the transparency is causing a glare in the picture. I loved the bright orange flowers in the kit. I prettied them up with the buttons, also in the kit.”
