<br /></div>
<div>
I will leave it at that for now, as it is much to lengthy a share to post here. For now, I will share with you my creations made with June's Kit, "Let's Go" from Cocoa Daisy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This month is full of travel fun although I have used much of my kits to create in a non-thematic way as you will see below. (I did create some travel themed items however too! I couldn't resist!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This card was made with one of the exclusive cut files and exclusive stamps. Love the exclusive map patterned paper this month as well!</div>

Hello! Happy to begin a new year full of new possibilities, new adventures, a new One Little Word, and goals.<br />
<br />
To get you up to speed, my mom purchased a home near us in early December, and besides the usual December activities, Mick and I traveled to Oahu, Hawaii in early December and then the whole family made our annual family road trip to Colorado. Suffice it to say December was a whirlwind of activity, blessings, and adventures. I am happy to finally be home now though,and to be back at scrapbooking and creating.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is my first layout of the year which I created for Come On Get Crafty and using the Ali Edwards Daily Stamp set and lots of gold goodness. More details on the COGC blog. It documents some of my goals for 2015.<br />

Below is my first creation with October Afternoon goodies of the year. The inspiration for my design was the image of this butterfly-like cloud formation that I captured on the North Shore of Oahu.<br />
It took my breath away with its beauty and significance. It captures the essence of my One Little Word for this year; "courage." #olw<br />

I am back after a crazy busy month of December that has been filled with lots of travel and a move for a loved one.<br />
<br />
Tonight I am dropping in to share some of my gallery for this month's Cocoa Daisy Jan Kit; Pajama Time. <br />
I created my gallery away from home which meant - scrapping with the very basic tools. It's amazing how much I miss my scrapping tools but I did have fun creating with limited items.<br />
<br />
<br />
This month's kits are packed with awesome exclusive patterned papers, stamps and a whole lot of fabulous embellishments. The color combinations will make every scrapper happy as there are bold bright colors along with pastels and neutrals too. Just the perfect blend!<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my creations which I created from the main kit; Pajama Time as well as the DITL Kit and ala carte stamp set (the adorable monsters you will see below).<br />
<br />
For this card I used some of the beautiful teal trim to weave over the top of the exclusive plaid pattern paper in this month's kits.<br />

On the card below, I took a card from the monthly kit and used a circle cutter to cut out a circle window to place that fabulous wood veneer ornament in. I added the baker's twine and some pop dots to give the 3x4 card more dimension and showcase the ornament. Then I used the "fa la la" exclusive stamp for the sentiment on a smaller flag tag.</div>

I added a little bling to this one along with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Marshmallow. Love the subtle sheen it provides to the card. The "warmest wishes" is an exclusive Elle's Studio stamp.<br />

Sunday is predicted to be a high of 82 degrees? Say what?!!!!<br />

How I love it so! The perfect blend for both masculine or feminine layouts. As a mom to two boys it was such a fun kit to create with and my designs compared to the other designers are all so varied! It's is so fun every month to see just how different the looks are from the very same products! Seriously think that is my favorite part of the reveal!

This stamp set is awesome! It is about 4x8 and the letters range from about 3/4 inch in height to 1 1/4. I will use this set again and again! (it counts for 2 of the usual 3 stamp sets in the stamp sub this month due to its large size). It does not disappoint. Trust me on this. ;)<br />

Hi all! Back with you today to share my August edition of "When Your Kit Comes."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
First, I begin by taking my monthly #mycocoadaisykitishere photo for Instagram (--a favorite "must do" for me) ;)</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7392.jpg" href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7392.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-16741"><img alt="IMG_7392" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-16741" data-mce-src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7392-450x600.jpg" height="600" src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7392-450x600.jpg" width="450" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
I am <em><strong>@SuzMannecke</strong></em> if you want to follow along. :) Be sure to post your own as well and hashtag it #mycocoadaisykitishere. It's a fun way to get started and to get excited about creating, yes?!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
My scrapbooking and my life is always changing and evolving, and I am cognizant, therefore, that some of my habits or organizational needs might be too. For example, this month I began by creating with my kit at home but then ended up taking it on the road to our cabin, to complete my designing with the kits there. That's where my trusty ole plastic Iris container comes in! I get out my Cocoa Daisy Iris container and remove the previous month's contents. I add the past month's kit to a ziploc type crop bag and label it with the name of the kit. Now my container is ready to go for my new kit scrappiness! I add my new kit patterned papers to it. <em>Later, when I am done creating with my kits, the rest of the little bits and pieces I have left over (if any) go into it.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
And then on to the embellishments! Here is a new little dish that was begging to receive some Cocoa Daisy August Kit goodies:</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7677.jpg" href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7677.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-16567"><img alt="IMG_7677" class="alignnone wp-image-16567 size-medium" data-mce-src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7677-600x450.jpg" height="450" src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7677-600x450.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
While at home, I organized my kit embellies and tags as shown below. The woodgrain organizer is an acrylic brochure stand (like one might find in a doctor's office) that I gave fresh look to with some woodgrain contact paper. It is super handy and has four tiers to house my cards, tags, and CD cases of the month's stamps.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7690.jpg" href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7690.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-16568"><img alt="IMG_7690" class="alignnone wp-image-16568 size-medium" data-mce-src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7690-600x450.jpg" height="450" src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7690-600x450.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
I like to start by taking photos of each kit and making notations as to which kit they belong to. <em>This helps me later on when I am uploading and creating my Daisy Designer gallery, so I can label appropriately what comes from which kit. Sometimes I don't know this information at the time I receive it (as there are times some things arrive after our designer kits go out because of the timing of shipments from manufacturers) but it sure is helpful and doesn't take much time at all!</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
I then separate out the embellishments and place them in some type of organizing dish; in this case an old muffin tin I have down at our cabin. I love that everything is close at hand and visible!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7582-e1406651675379.jpg" href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7582-e1406651675379.jpg"><img alt="IMG_7582" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-16561" data-mce-src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7582-e1406651675379-800x600.jpg" height="600" src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7582-e1406651675379-800x600.jpg" width="800" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
After I figure out the papers and cards I am going to work with, I set aside the rest in the Iris plastic storage container that I mentioned earlier.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7591.jpg" href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7591.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-16560"><img alt="IMG_7591" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-16560" data-mce-src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7591-800x600.jpg" height="600" src="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7591-800x600.jpg" width="800" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<em> Regarding the exclusive kit stamps</em>: Another habit I do each month pertains to how I organize my stamps that come with my kits.<em> Fellow Daisy @Samara started a helpful post <span data-mce-style="color: #ff9900;" style="color: #ff9900;"><a data-mce-href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13314" href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13314"><span data-mce-style="color: #ff9900;" style="color: #ff9900;">here</span></a></span> about clear stamp storage with lots of great ideas! </em><em>There was much talk about the Avery Elle products. I may try those once I run out of CD cases, but for now this is what I have been doing and what has been working for me: </em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
I take some plain white paper or card stock and stamp the images onto it and then label what kit the stamp set comes from (if I know this information at the time. If not, I simply label it the August Kit and add the specific kit names later).</div>

Suz back today with a few tips to share that I implemented in the creation of this layout that celebrates 19 years of ...<br /><br />

I am back today as part of a fun little blog hop that is going on in the online scrapbooking community where we share and highlight a little bit of our favorite scrappy people that we are inspired by and then share a bit about ourselves. I was tickled and humbled when my crazy talented friend (from halfway around the world and more) Sasha Farina tagged me!<br />
<br />
If you are not familiar with Sasha and her beautiful hand stitched creations, I have to wager a guess that you are new to scrapbooking! ;) Sasha's designs are uniquely her own with hand stitching, meaningful journaling, and spectacular photography. You can get a great feel for Sasha's style, talent, voice, and sense of humor by clicking over to her blog here: <a href="http://www.sashafarina.com/2014/08/a-something-different-blog-hop.html"><span style="color: orange;">SASHA'S BLOG</span></a>.<br />
<br />
So, as part of this hop, each of us were given a few questions to answer.<br />
<br />
Q: What are you working on right now?<br />
A: Right now I am working on tidying up my scrap space and putting away some brand new products for a DT assignment of which I cannot share just yet, but I will as soon as possible! ;) I did find a little bit of time to scrap last week before leaving for NYC. This is a bit of what I was working on.<br />
Little bits of machine stitching, enamel dots, and lots of trims and embellishments. :)<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Q: How long does it take me to create a project?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A: Wayyy too long! Seriously I am a pretty slow scrapper unless I already have a sketch or a finite amount of items to create with (Like my <a href="http://www.cocoadaisy.com/"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Cocoa Daisy kit</span></a>), then I seem to be able to create a bit more quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Q: What are my favorite things to create with at the moment?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A: My Cocoa Daisy Kits never cease to disappoint me each month and get my creative mojo flowing! I also still love to use my Silhouette Cameo and recently my Fuji Instax printer. I love that I can get Instax photos but can use any image from my iPhone or Mac to print from it! <i>So cool!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Q: How does my writing/creating process work? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A: I'd like to say that my journaling comes first, but most often it does not. I have found, however, that if it is a really sentimental story, a story that pulls on my heartstrings (like stories about my Angel Sister; Linda, or her kiddos) those words seem to come more easily. I guess because it is a way to help me with my grief and it makes me feel good to know I am helping to document memories for her kiddos and for the rest of her loved ones she left behind. To help remember. To never forget. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Q: How do I become inspired and stay inspired? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A: I am seriously inspired by everything around me! Things my boys say, the tiles on an airport bathroom wall, magazines, music, commercials, nature, other people, and of course, Pinterest (although I really enjoy most being inspired by what my eyes see and my ears hear -in real life!) :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I best stay inspired by balancing my creative life with my daily life. For example, if I am not feeing super creative at a moment, I will go for a run on the treadmill and I often find myself feeling inspired to create afterwards!<i> Maybe its the endorphins kicking in, yes?</i> I don't try to force my creativity. If I am not feeling inspired, I often will tidy up my scrap space and that seems to help too. A clean space to create helps declutter my mind and makes it more open to creative possibilities. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Q: What is my signature style:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A: While I think my style is always evolving and changing as I grow, I think there are a few components to my style that seem to transcend time. My designs almost always have stitching on them, they always have repetition of design and visual triangles, and they usually have a fair share of white space. I love trying out new trends and techniques while still staying true to my own design aesthetic. I never tire of using my Silhouette Cameo and some stamping on my creations. (And my vintage typewriter. It's fun to use as well!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Little details that help add to the story that I am trying to convey on my design are always a must. I try to keep it simple and not overwhelm the eyes with too much visual clutter-especially if the stuff does not add to the story I am trying to tell. I think each detail should have a purpose in helping to add to the story. If it detracts, it doesn't make the final cut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a recent layout I created that I think is a good example of my current signature style:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYflinI5MxnaP20Zi-60jCLc6Rp3HnyWRH6E06EpFA__C-MR3Ll8IUny7U0paCgi5J8AtrD79a1O8c8tUI3poMOionh5HpcqrNqTLy4jFsAXay8-IREFuxKvb90jxdy5ldewj1/s1600/PositiveViewpointFullSuzJuly2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYflinI5MxnaP20Zi-60jCLc6Rp3HnyWRH6E06EpFA__C-MR3Ll8IUny7U0paCgi5J8AtrD79a1O8c8tUI3poMOionh5HpcqrNqTLy4jFsAXay8-IREFuxKvb90jxdy5ldewj1/s1600/PositiveViewpointFullSuzJuly2014.jpg" height="640" width="627" /></a>The inspiration for this layout was the "+" patterned paper and the wood veneer viewfinders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And while this design is a bit more "busy" than I customarily do, I think you can see my signature style exhibited in it and that there is some white space still evident!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The repetition of design; with the play of my title work to the wood veneer viewfinders, to the view in my photo, and me facing the title of my design, to the repetition of the theme of positivity in my title, the patterned paper, the stickers "picture positive" and to the Silhouette cut file I created. All of this was very intentional. I continued with repetition of design with the yellow color in my title work, the star pin, and the star sticker, and the yellow arrow sticker. The destination theme was repeated in the tags and geotags on my layout. My stitching was repeated as well; around the Silhouette cuts, along my title work down the side of my layout, and around "happiness". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, you can get a pretty good idea now why my creations take so long to create! Lots of thinking (<i>and overthinking)</i> involved! LOL </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now on to three of my favorite scrappers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First up is <b><i>Tara Elias</i></b>! I love this girl's spirit, her positivity, and her clean and simple style. It has been so fun watching her find her style over the years and to see it evolve to what it is today; stunning! Go find out more about Tara here: <a href="http://taraelias.com/"><span style="color: #e69138;">TARA'S BLOG</span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next is<b><i> Jan Matsunaga </i></b>(aka "MochaJan") I first met this lovely girl at Winter CHA. She is so talented and humble, and I love her giving spirit! She shares the love of all things Project Life with so many people not just online but in her local community, having taught several classes on PL in So Cal as well as helping others to get started with PL online via social media (namely Instagram and Facebook). And most recently, she has helped Shanna Noel get the story out on Bible Journaling too! You can read more about Jan and get a strong sense of her PL style and philosophy as well as her servant's heart here on her blog: <a href="http://mochajan.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">JAN'S BLOG</span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And lastly is<b><i> Ginny Hughes.</i></b> I have yet to meet Ginny in real life, but have had the honor and blessing of being on a few design teams with her and getting to be her "cyber friend" via the online community at SC. I just know if we ever met IRL, she would be exactly like her online presence is; radiant, positive, and supportive. Ginny has a huge heart and a hugely talented noggin for creativity. Her designs are some of the most inspiring I have found and seriously- the woman works outside of the home and cares for 5 little chickens! (er...I mean kiddos!) to boot! I love that she has taken on and embraced hybrid scrapbooking too and I look to her for inspiration on a regular basis. Please get to know Ginny a bit more on her "5 Little Chickens" blog here:<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><a href="http://5littlechickens.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">GINNY'S BLOG</span> </a></span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Go. Now!</div>

And I have serious love for the exclusive wood veneer viewfinders as well as the Papermania "All Aboard" flags and clips included in the Scenic Route add-on. I spy lots of October Afternoon Daily Flash and Crate Paper's The Open Road here too!</div>
