Day in the Life Planning
I have been madly in love with the safari theme in the January planners, but I decided to take a little break from it. Emily had said the exclusive stickers from the January Day in the Life Kit looked so “Doris,” and I have to agree, but who...
Planning for Adventure in My DaisyDori
I have to admit that I don’t have all that many adventures planned for this week. It’s more about working for pay day so I can pay the bills and then go grocery shopping. But it’s all that much more fun in my safari themed DaisyDori. The more I...
We’re cooking up some Scrapbook Soup
Last year, Christine was invited to film six episodes of Scrapbook Soup, a program hosted by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. We’ve been sending out emails when a new episode airs, but we thought we’d share the most recent one with you now. This week you can watch...
If Vicki Chrisman were in a band…
I always enjoy learning more about our guest designers through their answers to our questionnaires, and I think Vicki Chrisman is someone I could spend hours chatting and laughing with after I read through her responses. Not only is she personable, she’s...
Goal Setting in My January DaisyDori
I absolutely LOVE making lists and setting goals in January. A fresh start in the new year is so motivating. This year was extra inspiring as I did all my brainstorming in my January DaisyDori. I made a little video of what I have done so far, but the month is...

Can you believe it is almost 2016! It’s the time of year we start thinking about the future and setting New Year’s resolutions for ourselves. I know what some of you are thinking, not again, lol! Resolutions seem so final and intimidating sometimes....
Day in the Life Cards Deliver Creativity
We all know that the Cocoa Daisy Day in the Life cards are perfect for pocket pages, but when Project Life first hit the scene I absolutely refused to do it. No pocket pages for me! I couldn’t resist the cute little cards, however, and found places for...
December Daisy Devotion
We are wrapping up another year and I am reflecting on many things that have happened in 2015. I think we all can relate to not having enough time to do many of the things we would like. With so many options out there of where to spend our time it can be...
2015 Christmas Card and or ATC swap
For the past several years I have held a Christmas ATC swap here at Cocoa Daisy. It has always been something I really look forward to. This is such a busy time of year for most people but I think taking time out to create and share with friends is worth it. We have...

How I Finished Off My December Cocoa Daisy Kit . . .
Usually when I think about doing a “My Kit Is Here!” type post, I want to gush over all the pretty things that have just arrived in my beloved happy box from Cocoa Daisy, and I did that. This month, however, I thought it would be fun to talk for a minute...
Design Tip: Don’t Be Afraid to Repeat Yourself
My tip for today is simple. Don’t be afraid to repeat yourself. If you look through my gallery from month to month, you will find that the two by two grid is probably my favorite design. I use it all the time. It showcases photos and pretty patterned paper...
How about a Mini-album as a Letter?!
I had the most fun making this little card! It looks sweet and simple on the outside, but inside is PACKED with so much fun! It’s a flip letter, so basically it’s a little mini-album on the inside. See all the goodness revealed in this...
Three Tips from One Layout
This layout was so quick to make, and I think that was because I let the color work for me. I essentially went with the “gallon, quart, pint” concept. My background color is tone-on-tone and almost a neutral. Such an easy color to work with (gallon...
