You & Me

Good morning!

I've got another layout to share with you today using the "Our Summer" kit. 

I have to admit, this one is pretty sappy!

:)

And I am still on a heart-punch-kick!

OK short and sweet from me today!

But don't forget to sign up for Cassandra's fabulous mini album class!!

Just the kit for this class looks spookily delicious!

And Cassandra makes some sweet mini albums so you know that the album you make will be awesome!

You can learn more about her class and sign up for it {here on her blog}.

Do it! Do it!

Have a great day and happy scrapping!

How I Made My Layout Go from Drab to Fab

I started playing with the Boardwalk kit earlier this week and started this layout,

but it just didn't feel "finished" to me, so I set it aside for a few days. It just didn't feel like me. 

I pulled it out again and began tweaking it, and adding all those 

special touches that make a layout me. 

I added a flower to make a bigger "design triangle:"

I distressed all the edges with my scissors:

And I added some doodling and crumpled the little paper flower: 

I also added a paper strip and a piece of ribbon to ground the bottom of the layout: 

I love how a few simple touches make a layout look a little more polished and put together.

Mini Madness is Coming!!

How about another post from me for today, hmmmmm??

I am so excited to be teaching my second class here at NoelMignon.com!!

We are going to have so much fun learning all kinds of different techniques to make your own mini albums - bindings, materials, long-term and event-focused, project types, and just general awesomeness!!

I am going to be using lots of different materials - many from the upcoming Hudson Valley kit that Noel will be releasing for November, and believe me, you're not going to want to miss it!!

There's nothing I find more satisfying to make than minis, whether they are completely made by hand or start with a pre-fab book. I'll be covering both types, but of course, you will always put your unique spin on it. We'll be doing a little mixed-media, a little stitching, a little padding, a little of everything!!

This will be a great opportunity to make some fun albums for yourself or gifts for friends and family.

I'll be giving out some awesome printables for not only theme albums, but also address books and calendars - you won't want to miss it!!

To register, just email me at brittnykvilhaug@yahoo.com and I'll get you all set up with access to our own private classroom at the NoelMignon.com message boards. Once there you will find everything you need to get started - shopping list, printables, and prep info, so you will be ready to go on November 7th!!

Class fee is only $15

aaaaaannnnndddd

Noel will be giving away a $10 shop credit to one lucky student!

Be sure to sign up soon, and pre-order your Hudson Valley kit as soon as possible - go to the message board to see sneaks you won't want to miss!!
