Cocoa Daisy Layouts…

Jun 1, 2009

I finally get to share the lay­outs I cre­ated using this months kit by Cocoa Daisy. As you can see the June Kit and the Add On Kit are very ver­sa­tile. It was loads of fun play­ing the Daisy Divas once again.

I used Vin­tage Photo Dis­tress Ink to darken the Eye­let Card­stock. Traced a din­ner plate to cre­ate the cir­cle out of pat­terned paper, cut out leaves and but­ter­flies from a piece of Webster’s Pages pat­terned paper using a craft knife, attached Maya Road green pom pom trim around the edge, cre­ated a scal­lop bor­der using scal­lop scis­sors and a paper piercer, accented the hor­i­zon­tal strip with self adhe­sive pearls then used my sewing machine to add addi­tional tex­ture by sewing a straight stitch along the cir­cle and hor­i­zon­tal strip.

I wanted this lay­out to have a year­book feel so I cre­ated jour­nal­ing blocks the same size as the pho­tos and arranged them as you would in a year­book. Then I added basic infor­ma­tion (schools and event) about my Mom and Dad using Tiny Alphas by Mak­ing Mem­o­ries. I added Maya Road Cro­chet Trim around the outer edge of the lay­out to soften the edges just a tad. I accented the flower’s but­ton with a bow using Red & White Twine.

Tomor­row I will show you the lit­tle wall hang­ing I cre­atead with left over scraps from the kit. I am also includ­ing a lit­tle tuto­r­ial on how I made the vel­vet flowers.
