Creative Daily – Cover Up

by coconutgoddess on September 15, 2010

easy covered notebook

I LOVE notebooks. I always have. Lately, I really don’t use them like I used to. These days I am more apt to type something into my ipad or iphone. But still, I could not help but pick up this very cool notebook. The inner pages are all KRAFT. LOVE IT! To make it my own, I just covered it with some decorative paper. To give it a nice finished look, I took the extra step to use some linen book tape at the top to cover the seam.

WATCH KIT WINNER!

Labor of Love

by coconutgoddess on September 3, 2010

Well, I have been a busy girl. I have so many fun projects coming up this fall… as you can see. My workspace has suffered a little. Not to mention taking a last moment vacation to California right before school started. I don’t know about you.. but I need to hit the reset button of my life. I think it will take me another week to get back into the groove of things.

So first up…I am so thrilled to be the guest designer for Scarlet Lime. The gallery will be going up tomorrow rather than today… so you still have time to leave a comment for your chance to win! I will announce the winner of the kit LATE tonight.  Be sure to swing by a little later too… I am photographing some projects today and would love to share. Once the gallery is live, I will post a link here.

I am really feeling the creativity rushing back to me. So let’s play! Creative Daily will resume after the weekend.

booth goods

by coconutgoddess on April 25, 2010

This last weekend, my little sister Lea had a booth at the Utah Women’s expo. It was a blast…

I got to help her out the best way I knew how… by creating some glittery goodness for the booth, and help with designing the her business  materials. I love how it all turned out, and most of all… so did she!

Getting ready for CHA

by coconutgoddess on January 14, 2010

So CHA is coming up and the buzz is really beginning to build. I have had the chance to get some super secret, had to sign contract, non-disclosure type sneak peeks. And as a crafter and fellow scrapbooker… I LIKEY!

I am REALLY hoping that this will be an exciting show again. The last was fun, and I always make the most of the show. However it really felt like everyone was really holding steady. This show, from what I have seen so far.. seems that more companies are going to spread their wings again. Will they all be a home run? Doubt it. The economy is just too tight and we have all gotten to be much more savvy. But still, I think that it will be a good show.

Not to mention, I have been on a diet. Seen success (Down 10lbs so far!) but I really could use some pizza and to hit a taco stand or two. If you see me on the show floor, please say hello. I am blind as a bat but would love to say howdy!

A friend of my sister, who has quickly become a friend of mine, recently adopted a little baby boy. As a shower gift.. I created this little house for her to put in his nursery. The colors match his decor colors, and the little froggy on the bingo card was taken from the shower invite.

I had to share it because this was such a great photograph of the project! The picture was taken by her sister who is obviously a very skilled photographer.
