{Vacation Pictures} and the "Summer Lovin'" Classic Kit

Hello Noel Mignon fans!!!  It's Meridy here today, sharing another double page layout I made with the "Summer Lovin'" Classic Kit.  This week the design team is using vacation photos on their layouts.  I choose to do a layout about all of the restaurants we loved while we were on vacation in San Diego a few years ago.  

I loved how to bright colors in the photos matched the bright summery paper in this month's kit!

I had so many photos & memorabilia that I wanted to use, such as business cards and menus, so I just choose a few patterned papers and embellishments this time.

One of my favorite parts of this layout is the title, I used one of the Jillibean soup script stickers that says "favorite" then I followed up with the Imaginisce letter stickers for "eats" and "treats".  I used the wood veneer "&" to ties the title together.  I finished the title off with an Elle Studio label and an Echo Park brad.  The journaling block that says "Receipt" is from my stash.

Since I had quite a bit of memorabilia, I really wanted to figure out a way to include it all on my layout.

I decided to make a little envelope out of a piece of patterned paper to hold the menus and business cards from some of favorite restaurants.  To finish off the layout, I attached a photo on the front of the little envelope since I had so many photos I needed to include!

Thank you for stopping by today!!!  I would love to see some of your vacation pictures on the Noel Mignon Members Facebook Page.

High Five Challenge Continues with Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Lynn here with another project life page using the gorgeous, summery Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit! I'm continuing with this week's High Five challenge. The challenge is to use 5 different manufacturers on our projects OR create a page documenting our 5 favorite things about summer. I chose the 5 manufacturers challenge! Here's my page featuring Elle's Studio papers for the cards. 

I printed my photos using the Collect App and sized them to fit the pocket. I scaled the photos down to allow room to decorate each photo. I also typed on my journaling cards this week. I used Echo Park, A Flair for Buttons, Imaginisce and Simple Stories on this page. Here are some close ups!

I added some enamel dots from my stash for more color. Here's my title card.

I added a few wood veneers included in this month's kit for dimension.

I LOVE using my vintage typewriter to add journaling and it coordinated with the font on the photos and on some of the cards. The green card below also fits the High Five Challenge - my five fav's of the summer! 

Here's my final card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and we'd love for you to join us in this week's challenge. Feel free to upload your projects to our Noel Mignon Members Group on Facebook.

Have a great week and I'll be back next week with another PL page!

{High Five} Challenge with the "Summer Lovin'" Classic Kit

It's Meridy here and I have a layout to share today from the "Summer Lovin'" Classic Kit!  Keeping with the "High 5" theme this week, I challenged myself to use at least 5 different manufacturer's products on my layout.  This is so simple to do with the Noel Mignon kits because they are so PACKED with products!

I started with paper from Simple Stories Sunshine & Happiness collection and added a strip of paper from the Imaginisce Sunny collection.  Once I had the background of my layout created, I used some of the yellow cardstock from the kit and punched it with a border punch to add a little interest.  Next I matted the photo with cardstock from my stash and adhered that to my page.

Then it was time to really add in some more manufacturers...

I used alphabet stickers from Imaginisce and green Thickers from the "Happy Days" June 2016 Classic Kit for my title.  

I layered up a Jillibean tag, the Elle's Studio puffy stickers & label, some Echo Park brads, and a vellum die cut from my stash.  I topped off the Jillibean tag with a little Tim Holt Distress Crayon for a water color effect, and did my journaling right on top of that.  

And with those finishing touches, my layout was complete!  I believe total, I used 8 different manufacturer's products on this layout.  I always have fun mixing and matching products (and past kits) to create cute layouts for my albums.  That's one reason I love these kits so much, Noel mixes and matches for me, so I can just sit down create!!!

Week 48 and a layout to share | Summer Lovin Daily Details kit

Welcome to a new week on the Noel Mignon blog!  Wendy here today with a Project Life page and a 12x12 layout using my Summer Lovin' Daily Details kit.  This week your challenge (if you choose to take it) is called High Five - Use 5 different manufacturers on your project or create a page documenting your Top 5 Favorite Things about Summer.

I managed to squeeze 5 different manufacturers on this spread 

(Imaginisce, Echo Park, Simple Stories, Queen & Co, Elle's Studio, and the ribbon) 

to showcase one of our favorite spots to visit, the beach.

But I couldn't just stop there as I was having so much fun!  So I grabbed a picture that was waiting to be scrapped and played with some more of the goodies from the Daily Details kit.

Now this layout is missing something I never leave out, my journaling.  I couldn't decide whether I should use the left margin to type up some lengthy thoughts on this picture, or should I add a few handwritten lines at the bottom?  What would you do?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on my journaling!  

See you next week with some more of our everyday life.

Sweet Summer Lovin'

Hello Everyone, Lynn here with a project life page using this month's Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit. Our challenge this week is "Summer Sweets". Simply, scrapbook you or your family enjoying a summer treat or use a summer treat like ice cream, watermelon, etc. as a motif on your project. I did both! I focused on the papers and embellies from Imaginisce from this month's kit.  Here's my page.

I kept my title card simple to keep more white space a some of the cards.

I decorated a few of the cards with banners and dimensional embellishments.

Here's where the challenge comes in. A few cards in the collection feature sweet treats, like the watermelon and ice cream cards.

I added a photo showing some cups of chocolate ice cream ready to be enjoyed!

Here's the final card.

We hope you will join us and show us your sweet side!! Please upload your project to the Noel Mignon Members Page on Facebook so we can see your projects! Have a great week and I'll see you next week with another project life page.

Week 47 Project Life and Planner pages with Wendy

Welcome back to the Noel Mignon blog!  Wendy here today to kick off a sweet week; this week you are challenged to scrapbook you or your family enjoying a summer treat, or use a summer treat as a motif on your project.  I am sharing the next week in my PL album and a planner page I created using the Summer Lovin' Daily Detail kit.

Here is my week 47 and a few detail shots, including our favorite ice cream restaurant Friendly's and the new cupcake ATM at Downtown Disney!

Here are the combined weeks, even though I made them at separate times, I chose to keep the green, pink, and teal throughout and using my kit allows everything to go together nicely.

Next I am sharing Week 28 in my planner.  For me this planner is somewhere to write my thoughts and feelings.  I do write a few assignments and appointments, but the mundane things are on another planner that I don't spend time decorating.  I never thought I'd jump onto the bandwagon for planners, but the way I have approached mine so works for me, and I love it!

See you next week with some more Project Life!

Summer Daze | Summer Lovin' Classic Kit

Hello friends!   It's Laura Whitaker here sharing a new layout and a short video.  The DT was challenged to use water-colours in some way on their projects this week.  How fun is that! I used water-colours in three ways on my page, so let me share them with you.

Summer Daze

This page documents the day my son and I took a few minutes away from unpacking to explore the beach at our new home, after our move last summer. I could not resist using this gorgeous patterned paper from Echo Park's Summer Party collection as my background, I just love that it looks like it was hand painted with water-colours! So that is the first way that I incorporated the water-colour challenge.

I used the "Peacock Feathers" Distress Crayon from my kit to add a water-colour look to the die cut clouds that adorn my layout.

I just love the way they look, the colour is so rich!  Here is a quick video to share my process.

That was the second way that I incorporated water-colours into my page!

The embellishments in the July kit are so super fun, the die cuts from Imaginisce blend so seamlessly with the puffy stickers from Elle's Studio and the brads and chipboard from Echo Park.

Just a tip, the acetate pieces from Imaginisce have a clear protective film on them that needs to be removed.

I haven't added ribbon to my layouts in quite a while, simply because I never remember to, so I am a bit out of practice.  This is why kits are so fabulous, everything is all together and it reminds you to use up your goodies!

The third way that I added water-colors to my layout was to use some of the leftover "paint"  from my clouds to "flick"onto my page

I used the washi tape in the kit as another layer and tore strips of it to tuck under my paper layers.

Supply List:

(From Kit) Echo Park Summer Party patterned papers "swimming fish", "beach love", vacation time"; American Crafts cardstock in Geyser; Elle's Studio Sunny Days cut outs and puffy stickers; Imaginisce Sunny ephemera and alpha stickers; Echo Park Summer Party chipboard, washi tape and brads; Tim Holtz Distress Crayon is Peacock Feather and Spiced Marmalade; ribbon. (From my stash) Tim Holtz Tiny Atacher; Dear Lizzy date stamp; CTMH black archival ink; Staedtler fine tip felt tip pin grey.

Thanks for visiting!

Career Day-"Country Life" Classic Kit

Hi again!  I have another layout using the "Country Life" Classic Kit.  I totally ADORE this kit, it's so bright and fun!!! 

When I saw the sewing/crafting themed papers and rub ons from Jillibean Soup in this kit, I knew exactly what photos I wanted to use.  My daughter had to dress up as a career she would be interested in for Spirit Week at school last spring.  She decided to dress as a Fashion Designer.  Best of all, the colors in the photos I took worked PERFECTLY with these papers!!!

The denim pocket from Inaginisce could not have been more perfect to add to a page about fashion design.

The little stitches on the Jillibean Soup rub on sheet were a subtle little addition to the journaling strips on this layout as well.

And to add some texture, the May Arts blue lace was just what I needed!

Thank you for joining me today!  I hope you are inspired to pull out some bright fun photos to use with the "Country Life" Classic Kit.  If you don't already have the kit, I believe there are still one or 2 left in the store.  Have a great weekend!!!!!
