August was so crazy that I'm still unsure how it's September 1st today! Only a couple more days and the boys are in school, I'm going to miss them, but they are ready (even though they don't want to admit it) and I am ready for them to be back in school!<br />
<br />
Our September kit and add ons sold out so quickly this month, in fact we sold out quickly last month as well, so we are going to up quantities next month in the hopes that we will have more to go around. We still have some of the September paper packs and the Embellishment packs available. We also have some of the September stamps still available.<br />
<br />
Here is a look at the main kit and add ons:<br />

And my September layouts:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HE SAID SHE SAID, I used mostly papers from the Compromise add on for this one. I also used the He Said She Said stamp set - so perfect for making a title! I loved how the theme of this kit gave me the jumping off point for this layout about having dinner with Jeffrey. I used an instigram photo taken when we were making dinner together. I also used my new Cameo for the first time to create the Today die cut. I love that Cameo!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
SUMMER MARKET, the bright patterned papers in this month's kit just make me happy :) I had to make a layout using a bunch of them so I cut out a bunch of chevrons with my Cameo and pieced them together. I machine stitched around them, I love the effect - makes me think of my Mom's quilts. I used the new Maya Mist White Out spray ink and a Balzer Designs stencil for the background. The little garland is from Basic Grey and comes pre-stitched! How cool is that! Another thing that makes me very happy is the moment that I captured in the photo of my Mom and Dad.</div>

TRASHIES, Again I used my Cameo to create the die cut of the days of the week. I love subtle tone on tone effects so I made sure to keep this layout simple and graphic and not overpower the die cut. I was also able to sneak in a bit of pink on this boy page about Nate playing with his trashies. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A kit inspired by all things travel. There are airplanes and maps, cars and postal strips, tickets and boats, just the things you need to create projects that pull at the traveler in each of us. But say you’re not into travel? You’re in luck because even with its travel theme, this kit can be used for everyday layouts about life. The DT has definitely expanded this kit beyond travel, and you can too! Featuring exclusives from Ormolu, Maya Road, and Cocoa Daisy as well as papers and embellishments from Basic Grey and Heidi Swapp, along with a few others,<a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/store/"> Santa Fe Sunset</a> is a kit you will enjoy just as much as you would watching the slowly sinking sun on the New Mexico horizon. And with our add on kits, you can make it last much, much longer.</span></div>

All you need to supply is the wanderlust.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong></strong>Loaded with Heidi Swapp’s No Limits line, we’ve put together an add on kit brimming with banners, typography and twine. You’ll love the playful feel this kit has!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">More Ormolu flair, created especially to coordinate with Santa Fe Sunset tops the list on our August Embellishment Pack. Add to that wooden cameras, washi tape that works the orange from WRMK, bling from KaiserCraft, and some fun word tags, we don’t need to embellish (hee hee) this description any more!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Meant to enhance the main kit, our patterned paper add on has a color palette rather similar to a golden dawn, even though we really named after an art gallery in Santa Fe. Yellows and blues with touches of red, brown, and black will give you the flexibility to create even more projects with this month’s kits!</span></div>

There’s a set that features fun travel inspired words, a set with a world map (yes, the whole world) and a You Are Here tag, and finally a camera encircled with text. It’s truly a fun collection that you’ll be using over and over again. You’re friends are going to be jealous!</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am about to dig and start packing for my CHA trip tomorrow, I love the summer show because it is so close and I can get there by train. I love traveling by train, so much more relaxing than flying! I also need to pack for the boys as they will be seeing their Grams and Poppy for a week :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So excited to see all the new product, but most of all to see all my friends and have some fabulous dinners, another bonus of CHA is that you do so much walking during the day that you can have nice big dinners without the guilt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before I go start packing though, I thought I should share some of the sneaks and happenings going on at Cocoa Daisy. First the sneaks! </span></div>

Our August kit is for anyone who’s ever traveled across regions, continents, or the world. It’s for those who simply dream of setting out to explore.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 12px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 7px; text-align: left;">
Inspired by the artwork of Santa Fe based artist <a href="http://www.markwhitefineart.com/index.php" style="color: #4d3b0f; text-decoration: none;">Mark White</a>, we’ve blended oranges, yellows, and degrees of blues together to create a scrapbooking masterpiece. Featuring exclusives from Maya Road and Ormolu, along with newly released product from Heidi Swapp, Basic Grey and My Mind’s Eye, we know you’ll love sitting down and scrapping with our colorful <em><strong>Santa Fe Sunset</strong></em>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 12px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 7px; text-align: left;">
Our add ons are named after two Santa Fe art galleries, and we’ve included a special travel based project kit designed by Christine.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our sweet Nat Kalbach is leaving Cocoa Daisy, I will miss her so much, but wish her all the best in her future endeavors. Thankfully I get to see her at CHA and give her a big hug :) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With an empty DT space needing to be filled I believe we found the perfect new addition to our team, Jody Ferlaak is joining us beginning with the August kit. I have know Jody since the "Michigan Sisters" would get together and scrap, our little group has all gone their own ways but we had some fun times scrapping together! You can read more about Jody and see a few examples of what she created with the July kit on the <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/blog/cocoa-daisy/7974/august-sneak-peeks-a-goodbye-and-a-hello/">Cocoa Daisy blog.</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We aim to please at Cocoa Daisy and after having a number of people inquire about using Paypal to check out at the store, I am thrilled to say we now accept Paypal!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It’s here! Our July Kit and add ons! We’ve had rave reviews from our Design Team about <b><a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/store/">Note to Self</a></b>, let us tell you why. We’ve got TWO alphabets, a whole pack of office themed tidbits, some fun mini paper clips, lots of vintage inspired papers, and a fabulous stamp set that you’ll come back to over and over again! And to make the kit even more special, we’ve included a sweet little metal note holder! We know you’ll love this kit as much as we do at Cocoa Daisy!</span></span><br />

Here is what I created with this month's kit; little side note I do not know what was in the air this month or this kit was just that inspiring to me, but I finally got my creative drive back! It's been so long since I had the NEED to scrapbook and it felt sooo good to want to spend any spare moment I could creating, LOVE THAT FEELING!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">We scrapbook because it’s important to get our lives and thoughts down on paper. <strong>Note to Self</strong>, our July kit, pays tribute to that concept. Filled with new releases from October Afternoon, My Mind’s Eye, Echo Park and an exclusive Cocoa Daisy Stamp Set you will be reaching for over and over again. Not to mention the very fun surprise we’ve included in each kit from 7gypsies. All of this combines to create a unique office themed kit, focused on capturing life, right now.</span><br />

It's always a bit of an adjustment for me, trying to work from home with the boys here, but they have been so good and this summer they seem to really understand that Mommy is working, in fact they have been great little helpers!<br />

Another sure sign of summer is that I have fresh herbs from the garden to use in the kitchen. Nothing makes plain old spaghetti better then some fresh Basil and Oregano!<br />

Say hello to my new best friend! I have never been much of an energy drinker, aside from a couple cups of coffee that is. The ones I have tried always leave me a bit too jittery, the 5 hour energy makes me strung out for more like 10 hours! But as of late I am finding myself dragging around 2pm and in real need of a boost! So I thought I would give this one a try, the carbs are pretty low and it has fruits and veggies in it, how can that be a bad thing! Well I love it! The taste is great, and it does the trick, a nice little pick me up in the afternoon.<br />
What I find humorous about this photo though is the string of beverages on my desk, and you can't even see the two bottles of water. It seems I get bored with what I am drinking.<br />

Seeing as how I am kind of on the subject of food I thought I would share this recipe for <a href="http://jennifercooks.com/2011/02/cinnamon-crescent-rolls/">Cinnamon Crescent Rolls</a>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I need to get groceries but have not had the time so the big question was what to make for dinner. The boys love breakfast for dinner and I had eggs and sausage but no bread for toast. Back the depths of the fridge I found some crescent rolls and I remembered this recipe that I had pinned. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mine did not look as pretty as these but they tasted sooooo good! Very quick and easy to make and they just melt in your mouth. So I highly recommend this one.</div>

We started off our Holiday weekend at 1 am Friday morning, when Zach walked into my bedroom and said "Mommy my tummy hurts....." and then you guessed it blap! All over my bed and the rug (both of which are white) I tried to get to him in time, amazing how fast a mommy can move in the middle of the night when clean, white, bed linens are in jeopardy. I told him run to the bathroom but instead of turning and going right into my bathroom he ran down the hall and tried to make it to his bathroom. I emphasize the word <i>tried</i>. So a little word to those of you that are new moms - if your child walks up to you and says either "My tummy hurts" or "I think I'm gonna.." it's already too late, they are <i>gonna</i>!<br />
Opt for the Stainmaster treatment on all your new furniture and have the name of a good carpet cleaner listed in your address book.<br />
So, my poor little itty bitty was so sick all night and well into the next morning. He was feeling a bit better by the afternoon so I gave him a bath and put him in bed where he stayed and slept until 8pm. Saturday he was much better but then being the sweet boy that he is, he decided to share his little tummy bug with Mommy. Thankfully I was not hit as hard and was only sick till Sunday afternoon. I really thought that we were out of the woods come Monday morning, and hoping to salvage the Holiday had plans of going to Grandma and Grandpa's for some burgers on the grill, that was until Nate walked up to me at noon and said "Mommy my tummy hurts". Now Nate being almost 10 knows were to run to when "his tummy hurts". I think Na-na got it the worst, he was so sick until almost 11 last night. He is home from school today and resting, had a smile for me this morning so I know he is feeling better.<br />
So all in all quite the Holiday weekend for us. But I did manage to get my June Cocoa Daisy layouts done on Sunday.<br />
<br />
This <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/store/">month's kit</a> is all about pretty primary colors and fun patterns that make me think of picnics and quilted blankets.<br />
Here is a pic of the full kit:<br />

<br /></div>
I had Ormolu design us some exclusive Flappers that coordinate with the kit so perfectly! And of course the stamp is exclusive to the main kit too! That stamp set is so versatile, you can create the sunshine like I did on the tag in the picture or you can create a chevron arrow design like I did in my "Watching" layout:<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Just like the art form it's named after, our <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/store/"><b>May kit, Graffiti Bridge</b></a>, is full of stunning hand drawn, colorful, and whimsical artwork. It features both papers and die cuts from Amy Tangerine's gorgeous new line, Sketchbook. It nods to the urban feel of graffiti, with Fancy Pants' Subway Art paper, and it rounds things out with Basic Grey and Crate. Two delightfully useful alphabets, the Blazonry stencil from Balzer Designs, fun kraft tags and flags, and a paint splat exclusive stamp make this kit alive and full of energy, reminiscent of the gorgeous street art. It's a kit that inspires you to get messy, but if that's not your style, Graffiti Bridge just as easily stays neat and clean. Don't you love it when a kit is this versatile?</span><br />

We had a great time at the <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/">Cocoa Daisy Spring Crop</a> this weekend! I don't think Bingo has ever been played like that before :) The Design Team had a ton of challenges, classes and inspiration to share with everyone and it is all still posted so make sure you stop by the message boards and check it all out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what I created for a few of the challenges using the May kit:</div>

The trees are starting to dress in fresh greens and the soft pastels of white and pink. It's a time of renewal, and we at Cocoa Daisy are celebrating with our April kit, appropriately named Sprout!<br />We're happy to bring you papers in the colors of spring from Basic Grey, Echo Park, My Mind's Eye, and Crate. We've added embellishments from Maya Road, Prima, Queen & Co., and a pack of exclusive-to-Cocoa Daisy flair from shopEvalicious.com sporting a spring theme. Sprout shouts spring even louder with our exclusive stamp this month, a 5" stem and leaf. We know you'll love this kit as much as we do!"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE2nktQDR1MY7UAj3oxoAlgTi2Vzm6tzGxX6jDbm09mSObzNqpvXHLgPhA4uzJCY9ucLYF4dHWcA9kwhTSDGS8lQFffJr7wss-VqHfEl8dwq10Z9IaPw7lytwK_Gck6QvGXfbBcrNGi70/s1600/Sprout+close+up+4.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Pink Paislee’s Nantucket, brand new Dear Lizzy from American Crafts, Crate Paper’s romantic Paper Heart’s line, Fancy Pants, and an exclusive Cocoa Daisy stamp come together in this lovely kit, sure to transport even the most landlocked scrapbookers to the water, if only by way of a kit.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxHjSjgHIiNRjvYcxkAI2eAGBbdJ1DPTeJJ6v-i8JncKFaEUGrgucH3urIbEYNRxGin-z8DccDATmLNSGzkSkalbWinthypBx0g-zfkWzfPvzMzpkbwSuWmPPAK5XbCYzc9huSJxa6jk/s1600/Pier+39.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxHjSjgHIiNRjvYcxkAI2eAGBbdJ1DPTeJJ6v-i8JncKFaEUGrgucH3urIbEYNRxGin-z8DccDATmLNSGzkSkalbWinthypBx0g-zfkWzfPvzMzpkbwSuWmPPAK5XbCYzc9huSJxa6jk/s400/Pier+39.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714950081399646706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbcpt_ciJDP_8ByQ4EimJohxcKtVlZTA4zdYbtCI47i8M2iaAj2ZeWaBxsWhb6gOmZUtQrRG9hsdcGvoet98RY087otl4JuF38d0Tdsco88xzbgbqLKRrRFmUaMS5slj0__HMYSmxAP0g/s1600/Pier+39+close+up+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbcpt_ciJDP_8ByQ4EimJohxcKtVlZTA4zdYbtCI47i8M2iaAj2ZeWaBxsWhb6gOmZUtQrRG9hsdcGvoet98RY087otl4JuF38d0Tdsco88xzbgbqLKRrRFmUaMS5slj0__HMYSmxAP0g/s400/Pier+39+close+up+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714950070681090178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxRhrMiCA_U1LPWR9j3kvoc9IohE33zhrXhu_-BcAkOLRQEjMcm4u7iFW0hoYgHjLMwBqY5eoJX0cxj696sunPNlvXM0R3HZjrSirD9IYF-8VH4HkARkaeAsaDj8dwMKFsmhSkQfiZhXE/s1600/Pier+39+close+up.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxRhrMiCA_U1LPWR9j3kvoc9IohE33zhrXhu_-BcAkOLRQEjMcm4u7iFW0hoYgHjLMwBqY5eoJX0cxj696sunPNlvXM0R3HZjrSirD9IYF-8VH4HkARkaeAsaDj8dwMKFsmhSkQfiZhXE/s400/Pier+39+close+up.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714950067685766418" /></a><br /><br />The add ons sold out really quickly but we still have a few of the <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/store/march-kit-addons-c-158.html">Fisherman's Wharf add ons</a> available:<br /><a href=""></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj50iNI3toHRtfo0Hfss4ugDtNTKIG8zopM5FMV18p2n7ByvA3FLRdoEmTcYin7ECdROguGFxQS0_sEjqTd05nURW0EVGT2PY8EPetD2Gyh-RNgjUGn_nmKa2iN9fPcnIAdD6jIAhvOqQ/s1600/Fishermans+Wharf.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 368px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj50iNI3toHRtfo0Hfss4ugDtNTKIG8zopM5FMV18p2n7ByvA3FLRdoEmTcYin7ECdROguGFxQS0_sEjqTd05nURW0EVGT2PY8EPetD2Gyh-RNgjUGn_nmKa2iN9fPcnIAdD6jIAhvOqQ/s400/Fishermans+Wharf.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714951111299007058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSEg3sVB-k7pVGPiZB3MvefHrfwHk8LXzhhc83VcjX5zgLtrexXUOZItF3wtiXgpnqSdR0qKDdQjuAIBEDG21-BHUPNWOyw8_3h7K9VPtvVljCPeCW9BNAiHStBTPBfuMWQTcGTO6yKOM/s1600/Fishermans+Wharf+close+up+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSEg3sVB-k7pVGPiZB3MvefHrfwHk8LXzhhc83VcjX5zgLtrexXUOZItF3wtiXgpnqSdR0qKDdQjuAIBEDG21-BHUPNWOyw8_3h7K9VPtvVljCPeCW9BNAiHStBTPBfuMWQTcGTO6yKOM/s400/Fishermans+Wharf+close+up+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714951109388783970" /></a><br /><br />And here is what I created with the March kit:<br />This first one is for my One Little Word for 2012.

I used this month's featured Crafter's Workshop stencil for the background - I love that stencil it reminds me of Nate's lego boards. I also used the grungy bullseye stamp for a little more texture and to further support the theme of the layout. We have sold out of the Arrow Row and Quatrefoil Stamps but we do have a very limited amount of the <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/store/bullseye-stamp-p-1126.html">Bullseye stamp</a> left.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJR9LczUj1xZZ6UYuHUrDO0i3Pgaed_JkzBS7WQqdxbFQclHQwpXRavHD8YtMPuNAlgCFiLKfyN1hgxXPTmbpiAzfcZS9hAyyrd7EcoZSisePFN0EGZY6c9cP16nzXWzCvVBfr3izpXs/s1600/Battle+Scenes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 395px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJR9LczUj1xZZ6UYuHUrDO0i3Pgaed_JkzBS7WQqdxbFQclHQwpXRavHD8YtMPuNAlgCFiLKfyN1hgxXPTmbpiAzfcZS9hAyyrd7EcoZSisePFN0EGZY6c9cP16nzXWzCvVBfr3izpXs/s400/Battle+Scenes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714951564158892018" /></a><br /><br />This last layout was actually a fun self imposed challenge - to see how many matching bits I could group together in each color block.

We were chatting about what our "word" was for this year and I said that I was having trouble deciding what mine should be. I was worried about my choice being too cliched etc. Ali said that it doesn't matter what the word is just that it have meaning to you. We talked about choosing a word that you can think about all year and have it motivate and inspire you. The reasons for choosing the word will be special to you.<br />Well I am happy to report that after the last couple weeks a word has really resonated in my mind and in my heart. My word for this year is: <span style="font-weight:bold;">STRONGER</span>.<br /><br />I even have have a theme song to go along with my word, how cool is that!<br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Xn676-fLq7I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />and a verse :)<br />"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9<br /><br />Have a great week and I hope you have picked your OLW for this year.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02868663385314410057noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740272631405545653.post-61775912960340604162012-01-31T13:02:00.009-05:002012-02-05T15:55:04.420-05:00by the numbers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDdeeSsLY1bUw3GdXCYMqqjoTo4aHKdeE8N3-jN4LD7vzoPCX8L-n4svYCEqE4SxoHgBfcyf5gWnUfBv4tUPXoBT8QPmGCPeZ41Bn_knXk83HjAf3I28WJnn1J6zyCgzUh4X3OvXS_8M/s1600/by+the+numbers+close+up+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDdeeSsLY1bUw3GdXCYMqqjoTo4aHKdeE8N3-jN4LD7vzoPCX8L-n4svYCEqE4SxoHgBfcyf5gWnUfBv4tUPXoBT8QPmGCPeZ41Bn_knXk83HjAf3I28WJnn1J6zyCgzUh4X3OvXS_8M/s400/by+the+numbers+close+up+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705754578211877938" /></a><br /><br />Cocoa Daisy's <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/store/">February kit "by the numbers"</a> really got my creativity flowing, I sketched out 5 layouts 2 cards and a mini Valentine album!

An exclusive Cocoa Daisy stamp of stacked numbers, silver metal numbers from Tim Holtz, 7 Gypsies' safety pins, Elle's Studio cards, Sassafras Lass tags, and a bit of My Mind's Eye paper all support our number theme this month, but don't worry, numbers aren't the only things you'll get. We've added some cheerful embellishments and lots of newly released great paper from Crate Paper, My Mind's Eye and Basic Grey to round it all out. Add to that our gorgeous add ons and new Embellishment Pack, and we know you'll definitely be counting the days until your Cocoa Daisy box, packed with goodness, hits your doorstep this February!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxo9FHMBWaywIIzzWMTWshxqw1TnzZ6b4SaITDe2lXnUSxTo7cGBmho2jXXMfeRHUMKmJGAOYp_rvc_qH6H17KL0GVQT8etzRV6PmK0TpSFVj3kbRMbdweRhwFfyTrxmPMA8SAlKV_11I/s1600/by+the+numbers+sneak.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I started out by misting the white cardstock then painting over parts of it with some white acryclic paint. Then I layered on some hole reinforcers. I used the plastic ring from an empty tape dispenser dipped in white paint and orange paint to create a few more circles. Then I brushed more white paint over areas and a bit of mist. The final step was some hand stitching.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDXqpd11zAZ7azRJe5LfRojPmzcfn8wQDo1WzU7HlTIEPzlZnQmq7iOPCKOOshIgKE7TNaHkgWBszZoCrKrdziFfsgE-YQbvkrHIKNFQAz_-AvL8f4VqyyG5BizNu9dqoJwuVCfIG8czQ/s1600/sunshine+layout.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Right now 2012 is not looking much better, a lot of things going on right now that make me think 2012 is going to be a big uphill year, but like the artwork that my Mom gave me says "choose FAITH over worry". I'm trying to keep that thought forefront in my mind but man some days it's hard! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje5cGN216riapFwu1jkdjgKnrbC98Vplc2HkiZpV8ze_eA24ymUlDSyqgvFek0QHtk6k_Xj5mz3fqcE1kKlFQCnvYNdknw9wnnjmdcNk5tqtnJXsXMXo_rQgdYZmNTMBNG64nRqJ8BpC4/s1600/me+with+big+tag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 341px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje5cGN216riapFwu1jkdjgKnrbC98Vplc2HkiZpV8ze_eA24ymUlDSyqgvFek0QHtk6k_Xj5mz3fqcE1kKlFQCnvYNdknw9wnnjmdcNk5tqtnJXsXMXo_rQgdYZmNTMBNG64nRqJ8BpC4/s400/me+with+big+tag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693451296386413090" /></a><br /><br />With all that said the one thing I realize that I need to do this year is make more time for me to meditate and just be still, to be creative and find the calm that it always brings me. So I guess that is the one thing I am setting as my goal for this year, I know I NEED to do this as presently I am no good to anyone all stressed and wore out! Hopefully with that I will be able to post more on my blog and again share my passions with all of you.<br /><br />Christmas was stressful and upsetting but fortunately I was able to get away and spend time with Jeffery (which always makes things better).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpIz0tOK56ddKNk9yC2IOwM9ywyHF8REqAsgVLjHyOP2hyahOlWYdMQiZfXDFm_pumJVXhlNR4SQuE4QeW5ZoV9icGyLXMBDiPnFoIKsCxL2TjbO02ZiHK1wxFFdpavft_iTjeThznDco/s1600/Jeffery+and+I+Christmas+2011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpIz0tOK56ddKNk9yC2IOwM9ywyHF8REqAsgVLjHyOP2hyahOlWYdMQiZfXDFm_pumJVXhlNR4SQuE4QeW5ZoV9icGyLXMBDiPnFoIKsCxL2TjbO02ZiHK1wxFFdpavft_iTjeThznDco/s400/Jeffery+and+I+Christmas+2011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693451454872561554" /></a><br /><br />So, here is to 2012 and the hopes for calmness and strength!!
