Hi, guys!  Mandie here with my first post for the Cocoa Daisy blog.  I spent some time going through the gallery and had a hard time choosing just a few!  So here goes!

I loved the simplicity of this layout from Margrethe.  I thought the arrow paper was so fun and worked so well for the topic!

The second layout I chose was from Kristined.  I loved the bright, fun colors she used.  And I loved the pie chart and the products!

the 3rd layout I chose is from Christap.  Again, I loved it for the bright colors and product she used.  (Are you beginning to feel out the kind of colors I am drawn to?  LOL!)

The layout I chose to lift comes to us from Nzingha.  I loved, again, the simple design and color scheme she used.  It looked like a layout that, while easily replicated, could pack a big punch!  I love how she framed the circle photo. Very clever!

Here is my lift.  While I loved her circle (A LOT!), I wanted to use this fun square grid print I had ordered from Postal Pix.   So, my design was a little wider.  (the grid print is 6×6).  Without even realizing it, I even used some of the same papers!  (That Midway line is adorable!)

Thank you all for all of the lovely inspiration in the gallery.  I hope this inspires you to do a lift of your own! Post them in the gallery, and let us see!!!
