Cocoa Daisy Guest Designer- REVEAL

In my normal muddle through things to do and things done I lost track of some major milestones.

1. My 4 year anniversary came and went and neither my husband or I realized it for Three. Weeks.
The penny finally dropped when I spoke to my sister and she started talking about about HER 1 year anniversary. DOUBLE DOH!
I had forgotten to call and congratulate them as well!
Applying palm to forehead BRISKLY... now. Now. Now. Now.

2. My daughter's third birthday is days away!
HOW did I let the date get so close without planning something?
Granted- she's three.
Hoots? She gives none.
But it would have been nice to send out cards and maybe learn to bake a cake?
Right.
It's the pizza parlor and huge pink cupcake in the park across the street for us.
Let's save the drama for her Quinceanero.

WHAT has been distracting me so much (other than breathing, walking upright and eating the occasional daily bag of potato chips?)

I'm the September Guest Designer at Cocoa Daisy Kit Club!
I know I already said so in my last post but today I will show you 2 (of 5 projects) I made.

A page made with the Cocoa Daisy Main kit for September and embellishments from the "His" Add-on.
Those itty bitty bathroom people veneer shapes? I ignored them for a while now.
SO GLAD they came in this kit! They are THE COOLEST!
I tried writing directly on a photo for the first time. DUDE! White gel pens are kicking my butt!
Any suggestions? This one was new but completely non-functional!

I had a LOT of fun combining the prints in this kit. I would never think to get the October Afternoon Woodland Park page (the green floral) on my own. It would have been my loss because it's beautiful! Also? Basic Gray is KILLING it lately with their collections!!! I LOVE the Paper Clippings line so much I used the packaging in this page.

The idea that my face was going out on their mid-september newsletter freaked me out just a tad.
So I put-off getting a professional headshot till I ran out time.
And sent my usual crazed Muppet Instagram.
I'll be instantly recognizable!

Darned if I can't get this photo to load up as my avatar!
I've sized it down 10 different times yet the website insists it's too big.
It's 30 dpi! Sorry guys! I'll keep trying.

If you want to see the rest, pretty please swing by the Cocoa Daisy gallery.
And while you are there check out the September Kit- it's a perfect blend of feminine and masculine colors and prints.
And like any good marriage- there's plenty of neutral ground in between.

Thank you so much to Christine and Emily and the rest of the Cocoa Daisy team for hosting me this month.
I'm hoping I lived up to the challenge!
I had a lot of fun and I learned even more.

MuChOS SmOoChEs!
