Caribbean blue

Good Monday morning! Caribbean Blue couldn't be further from the gray nasty day I'm staring down, so at least it's a nice escape posting these Cocoa Daisy April kit layouts (Caribbean bliss is actually the name) here:

This one is made with everything from the main kit except the AC Bliss coffee Thickers and Crate Brook epoxy brad (add-on #1-not sure what the names will be just yet). The kit goes on sale to the general public 3/30, right now the subscribers are getting first crack at everything. For those of you from the sneaks that thought I was pregnant, I'm not. Two refers to J and dh, and me realizing that even though I only dared hope for love from one boy in this life, I got lucky and have two boys who love me. Sweet! :)
This one is actually my favorite I think. My dad gives me lots of little pieces of parenting wisdom, and he told me that someday soon J would be my shadow, doing everything I do and helping me. And he is such a big help to me, especially this week in the yard. I really liked those Maya Road chipboard butterflies (add-on #3). I hope I used them in ways that aren't girly. :) The patterned paper is from the patterned paper add-on. The heart and AC bliss coffee thickers from add-on #1. And all the cardstock is from the main kit.
These photos were from last year. All the paper and alphas are in the main kit, the butterflies in add-on #3 and "spring" is from those AC bliss coffee thickers (Love those lots too.)
Everything on this is from the main kit, including the stamp, journaling tag, ticket, Tim Holtz thing-a-ma-bob (I have no idea what those things are called, but they are really fun to use!), patterned paper (Crate's Brook collection) and those tiny blue alphas. I love those! They come with 2 sheets to a package too, so you have alphas to spell out your kids full name (including the middle one) plus continue on for several sentences! I couldn't believe how many you get, it's really crazy in a good way. :) I hope you can see the fish in that photo, you might have to blow the photo up to see them right next to J's face.
Last is one of J and I at the beach, also home to me. I used patterned paper from the patterned paper add-on, and embellishments from add-ons #1 (AC thickers, Crate brook brads and stickers) and #3 (butterflies).

I had hoped to make a few more layouts, but time got away from me. I need to prepare for CD May (we have that kit already), make some things for the AC blog and blog hop and I'm looking forward to a guest design team position I have next month. I'm waiting on this to arrive for J's room:

How cute is that? I've never shopped at Land of Nod before, and all I can say is that I probably should not be allowed to go to Susan Weinroth's blog anymore. She linked to LON about something she wanted for her son's room and it was all down hill from there for me. I tried to talk myself out of it for about a month. It didn't work though. :) Clearly.

Happy Monday to you! Until tomorrow.
