What type of hoarder are you?? Specifically, what type of Cocoa Daisy hoarder are you?? Do you keep your kits together or dekit them with each new month?? I’m one of those who takes it all apart and adds everything to my stash. I’m usually pretty good at...

Do you often ask yourself… “To pattern paper or to not pattern paper?” That is the question! When I first started scrapbooking patter papers scared the scrap out of me! I would look at the mix of colours, bold designs and irrelevant text and think NO...

Have you ever asked yourself… “How do I get that to work for me?” I am sure you have, because I know I have. The great thing about a Cocoa Daisy kit is that you know it will just work, but how can you make it work harder? When I created this page I...

With a change of seasons comes a sense of freshness and something new. Each season provides a different colour palette as well as different adventures and stories to tell. So your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to scrap a “seasonal” photo with...

How are you liking the change of seasons? Here in Australia we are seeing the leaves change colour as the days get shorter and cooler. Autumn brings the warmth of earthy tones and thoughts of apple pie Or is that just me?! I know that most of you are thankful for...

Inspired by the frames Christine shared a while ago and the need for a quick Christmas present I pulled out a few items and got to work. I took a plain black frame and (inspired by Alissa who makes all thing gold look… well GOLD!) sprayed it gold. I then pulled...

So this post is meant to be a tips & tricks post. But instead of being some ideas for a scrap project I’m going to talk about life. Have you seen the Monty Python movie “Holy Grail”? Are you familiar with the scene with King Arthur and the Black...

Hello Daisies!! I am excited to be sharing the Designer Challenge for June. Lately I have been in a sort of creative funk. You may know the feeling – feel like you are repeating yourself and every page looks the same. Whenever I get this feeling, I try a new...

I say it every month but Cocoa Daisy kits really are so versatile! I love that the colour options are almost endless. This is definitely shown as Alissa’s page is so different from Piradee’s. My page is a complete contrast as I set about to make a gold...
