Cocoa Daisy Jan. Kit is up…

Tri­cia with Cocoa Daisy has the Jan. kit post­ed and dang is it fab­u­lous! Ali Edwards hand-picked all her favorite prod­ucts and she worked won­ders I might add… her mini albums and lay­outs are incred­i­ble. I real­ly had a lot of fun work­ing with this kit. It was full of prod­ucts I would nor­mal­ly not pick and loved the chal­lenge. I’m not say­ing the prod­ucts are not great by any means just that I seem to get into a style and not ven­ture from it. So I loved the chal­lenge. I even stamped direct­ly on my lay­out. BIG MAJOR DEAL for me! I feel as though I must have per­fec­tion at all times so stamp­ing real­ly scares me. I must admit I loved it and am real­ly going to try hard to incor­po­rate more of this tech­nique in my scrap­ping.

I used the “Petals” chip­board from Maya Road for leaves as well as their “Atlanta” Upper and Low­er­case alpha­bets. Both are so fun to paint and glit­ter.

The oth­er day, I received my prod­ucts to cre­ate some projects for Maya Road to dis­play at CHA. I’m so thrilled. I still can­not believe I will have projects on view at CHA. Last year, this was a total dream. I remem­ber going to their booth and think­ing I real­ly wish I could be on their design team. I was so ner­vous I could not even intro­duce myself to Car­o­line or Deb. I saw them, looked them square in the face and just said hi. So to all of you who real­ly want to be on a DT, I say “enter” and sur­round your­self with peo­ple that encour­age you but that will also be hon­est. I hap­pen to have two of those in this indus­try… Suzy and Lisa! Thanks you two for being such won­der­ful friends.
