We're excited to have Cocoa Dais as a permanent sponsor for 2018!


Cocoa Daisy started almost 10 years ago as is a monthly kit club selling carefully curated scrapbooking products, delivered straight to your doorstep. The idea was all you had to add was your designs and photos, we give you the rest every month. We've stayed true to that original concept, bringing you beautiful scrapbooking kits packed with papers, embellishments, and alphabets, but as the industry has changed, so have we. We now have three different varieties of kits that coordinate together every month!

Our Memory Keeping: 12x12 kit for the traditional scrapbooker. 
Our Memory Keeping: Pocket kit for the pocket scrapbooker who loves to do Project Life.
Our Planner kits for organizing your life in a very beautiful way.

Each kit can be used independently or together, mixed or matched. We have two different design teams, our Memory Keeping Team and our Planner Team, each sharing how they incorporate the different kits into their creative lives. Join us at our site or online for plenty of inspiration.

Cocoa Daisy is donating a goodie box worth at least $35.00 of product, either in the form of a kit or scrapbooking products. This prize is eligible for residents of the United States or Canada. Here is a sample of the beautiful products Cocoa Daisy carries in their store:

Lindy's Stamp Gang has continued with her daughter, Tracey, at the wheel, keeping Lindy's memory & creativity alive in her products. PLEASE ENJOY OUR UNIQUE, ORIGINAL PRODUCTS BECAUSE THEY ALL CONTAIN A LITTLE OF LINDY'S INFECTIOUS LAUGHTER, SPUNK, SPARKLE & CREATIVITY!

After that wonderful walk on the field, picking flowers and enjoying the lovely smells, it’s time for some strawberries with milk. Mmm, tastes like summer. The cute summer dress is on, and the sun gives freckles on your nose. Let’s jump up on the bike and head down to the beach. The wind is in your hair and you can hear the waves. Once there, you will enjoy watching the glittering water and the boats bobbing in the harbor. Oh, such a joy – the summer is finally here..!

Whether you spend your summer in the garden among the flowers and greenery, or at the ocean with sand between your toes and the wind in your hair – there will be something for you in this collection.

The collection consists of 18 different designs, 2 diecut sheets are included. As always – double-sided, high quality patterned papers.

We're excited to present a new sponsor, The Midnight Kraft Desk!


The Midnight Kraft Desk was opened in 2009. The name of my shop is based on the fact that I do all of my crafting late at night--usually either up to or through midnight & in the comfort of my craft desk. The 'K' in Kraft represents my nickname 'Kay'.

My shop began simply as a way of sharing a few of my handmade items. I opened my shop with a couple of hand stamped cards, embellishments & a few pre-made scrapbook pages. Within a year, I stopped making cards & pre-made pages and decided to concentrate on specific embellishments--I went with the butterfly. I've always admired the butterfly & what it symbolizes. Change, transformation, a new start, beginnings...with this concept I started making scrapbook embellishments based on existing butterflies from all around the world as well as butterflies that I have designed myself. Through the years I've added hummingbirds, dragonflies & other miscellaneous embellishments. Each embellishment is hand cut & carefully assembled by me.

Recently, I've been expanding my shop to include my other creations such as mini albums, cards, photo frames etc. I'm also open to custom requests. Each item sold in my shop is made with much TLC, thoughtfulness and careful precision.
