The Craft Mom: Cocoa Daisy Mini Book and Monthly Kits

Mini Book Feature
with Denise Morrison

Dear Julia,

I am starting to think of some Christmas presents and wanted to make a little mini book for one of my grand daughters. Shelby loves to tell and write stories so I decided to use a little notebook that I would leave blank pages in between my photo pages for her to write in.

I loved the accent cuts by Crate Paper that comes in The Bean add-on. I used that as my main paper focus and built my mini around that. With the American Crafts Color remarks stickers, and the dear lizzy tags from The L, this mini was a breeze to put together.

I apologize for the not so clear photos. I leave for work in the dark and get home in the dark so it's been a little hard to take photos!

I used one of the beautiful paper flowers in the embellishment kit for the cover.

Here are some inside pages.

I really enjoyed keeping the book simple and not using my regular crazy paint mess. I figured this would be something Shelby would want to probably take with her to school and write in and look at often. One Christmas present down!

If you like the supplies Denise used to create this cute mini book there are still a few November Kits left grab one and you too could create your own cute mini book inspired by Denise.

Navy Pier

November's kit features papers from Crate Paper's Acorn Avenue, Echo Park, Jillibean Soup, and Dear Lizzy. We included two contrasting alphabets in a soft green and a bold navy blue.

We're proud to bring you a kit that captures the lovely faded memories of summer perfectly. So please, join us on Navy Pier this November.
