July’s Color Me Daisy kit Summertime Fun is available.  I love this kit, it is one of my favorites we have done.  Featuring Basic Grey Lime Rickey and Fancy Pants Designs Summer Soiree, this kit is packed with tons of fun embellishments to capture your summer memories.  It’s bright, happy, whimsical and tons of fun. 

I used this kit to make this for Mr. Daisy for Father’s Day.  I had recently picked up some Fancy Pants Designs big chipboard and thought this kit would work perfectly for what I wanted to do with them. Almost everything is from the July kit except the chipboard and  one other Lime Rickey paper for the pants & shorts.  I had a bit of help from my Cricut and the Zoobaloo cartridge for the grass and the dog shapes.  I was able to cut the dog shapes on chipboard with the deep cut housing blade. 

The final result was the look I was going for.  Sort of  the doll shapes made famous by Claudine Helmuth.  Sorry there is a bit of a glare on the picture, but I wanted to show this in the frame.  I found the frame at Michaels, and it is perfect for a 12×12 page with a lot of dimension.  I used a lot of foam dot layers to get all the chipboard and pictures layered the way I wanted.

Time for a sneak peek at July’s kit.  This kit is packed with lots of yumminess to help celebrate and scrap those summer photos.  You won’t want to miss out on all this goodness!

Enjoy!  Just a little over a week until the full reveal!

Happy Friday!  The Daisy Girls have been creating some beautiful layouts, cards and projects with the June kit.  This kit has lots of specialty papers like foil, glittered, metallic, and more from GCD Studios. The colors in this month’s kit are great for so many of our summer activities. Pool or beach pages, wedding pages, playing outside and more.

Here is a layout from Daisy Girl Aimee Kidd, I love all the fussy cutting of the glittered paper and how she cut the circle die cut paper to frame her page.

Deanna used the die cut paper as part of her background and fussy cut the flowers out of another paper.

Do you want to play with this kit and more Color Me Daisy goodies, we have a 6 month subscriber offer available now too, get the details here.

Want a chance to win the June kit? We gave GCD Studios a kit to give away on their blog.
