I was so excited when Emily asked me to guest design for Cocoa Daisy this month.
I got the main and the Now Showing add-on and I had so much fun that I decided to do a mini when I was done with my layouts.
And I haven't done a mini in forever. I have to say that I want to do more now...i had a BALL!
Thanks for this honor and opportunity, Cocoa Daisy!
Winter CHA layout
I love the star background stamp that comes in the main kit. I used it on a layout for my BPC class too.
A little white embossing powder really makes it pop!
Simply Wonderful layout
A pretty simple layout but it makes me very happy. I need about 1928301280128 of these "choose happy" badges.
It's kind of my mantra. :)
This is a little mini album listing all of the things I love about Newport.
I made it by cutting up some of the Echo Park Photo Freedom patterned papers.
I hole punched each journaling card and bound them with jump rings.
The perfect little Instagram album. I printed each Insta at 2.5x2.5.
Super simple and super HAPPY. Oh- I added doilies from my own stash but everything else is from the kits. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by tonight!

Oh my your mini book leaves me almost speechless. It is probably the most informative, enjoyable one I have seen in my twelve years of scrapbooking. I didnt want it to end. Can you tell I might start gushing? lol As the years go by this little book will become more and more precious to you. I just love it and wish I had done something like it when my children were young. Kudos to you!!!!

Sandi- Thank you SO much. This means a lot to me as I had NO idea what I was doing when I was making it. HAHAH!

You scrap with your heart like no one else. Love your minibook and the way you journal. Thanks for always touching my heart. Hugs.

Oh this mini is amazing...I can just imagine your girls looking at it someday as grown women and recalling all those wonderful memories! This...this right here is what scrap booking is all about...the therapy and fun it gives to the now and the joy it holds for the future...sigh....

Hi Stephanie! It has been way too long since I have visited your blog! We have added our 4th baby to the mix, and as you know, life with 4 has limited my time for just about everything! Your kiddos are just as adorable as ever! I love the first picture in this post! Congratulations on all of your new ventures, like your class!!! That is awesome! I just wanted to say hi!
