Snowy Stories | Oh What Fun Classic Kit

Hello and Happy New Year's Eve!  It's Laura here today sharing a layout using the 'Oh What Fun" December classic kit!   This week the DT members were asked to use icy elements on their projects which was super simple with this gorgeous kit! I opted for snowy background paper, snowflakes, snowmen and metallics to pull off my look.

To further embrace the theme I opted to document this photo of my son in the snow fort that he created.

I began with a snowy background paper and built up a few simple layers.

Then I added in a gold embossed snow flake and chipboard snowman.

Snowmen, snowflakes a metallic sequins, as well as glitter gold colour shine further  add to the theme.

I even added the word snow in my title!

I also have a new process video today, you can watch the video for this layout below or here on my You-Tube channel

Oh What Fun: JOY

Hi, Everyone! Jana Eubank here. I hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. It's been so nice to cozy up here at home with the family ... no school schedules to contend with ... and do a little relaxing ... and scrapping.

I have one last holiday-themed December Oh What Fun page to share with you today before we switch over to the New Year.

JOY

This page documents my favorite part of Christmas ... just being together in our own little family unit instead of rushing out the door to extended family events. This is where we are making memories.

I grouped together Elle's Studio cut aparts and a tag to look like a present and letters to Sants. The bow was cut using a Stampin' Up die from my stash.

The confetti sprinkles here and at the top left corner of the page repeat the dots in the blue patterned paper at the bottom of the page and remind me of cookie sprinkles left on Santa's cookie plate after he takes a few bites of his treat.

I used the photo overlays from the Daily Diary kit on these two photos. I love the way they add color and make the photos feel that much more important in the design.

I couldn't resist using those two, big, gorgeous, red poinsettia blooms together on this page. I added several die cut pine sprigs created by using a Stampin' Up die from my stash. Isn't the texture delicious?!

Thanks for coming by! Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

Holiday Treats with "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit

Hello, Lynn here with my final layout using this month's "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit. It has been a pleasure to be on Noel's Design Team and I will definitely miss working with these kits each week!!
I used mostly Simple Stories papers and embellishments. Our challenge this week is "Decem-brrrr"... use something "icy" on your project like a snowflake shape, vellum, something clear and/or something sparkly. Here's my layout.

I love using vellum. I added an 8x8 piece of vellum from my stash. I love the transparency of vellum and the soft touch it adds to a project. Here's a few close ups. 

I love the gold shimmer in this beautiful green ribbon! Gold sequins also add an extra sparkle on my page. 

The thickers in this month's kit are perfect for Holiday pages and add a nice touch of glitter to my layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have an wonderful 2017!! 

{Christmas Eve Traditions} with the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit

Happy Day After Christmas!  I hope you are all relaxing and enjoying your family and gifts.  Hopefully you got some scrappy gifts!  I'm sharing a layout of our Christmas Eve traditions, using the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit...

I enjoyed creating this title space with the various alpha stickers, stamps, and the "santa's coming" label sticker from the kit.  

I had lots of pictures to use on this layout and 3 different traditions that I wanted to document.  So I decided to use the red glitter Thickers that came in this month's kit to number the different traditions, then describe them in the journaling space on the right hand side of the layout.

I used various embellishments to fill in areas around the photos with small clusters for a little added interest.  I also used some branding strips to ground the bottom of the page.

I finished off the layout with the red Studio Calico color mist spray from the kit sprinkled with a few of the gold Heidi Swapp sequins.  Thank you for stopping by today!!!  I would love to see some of your creations with the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit over at our Noel Mignon members FB page.

HOHOHO Memories | Oh What Fun Classic Kit

Hey there!  Laura here today, sharing a new layout using the 'Oh What Fun" December classic kit!   This week the DT members were asked to create with the theme "All the Trimmings' and more specifically to use 3 types of embellishments.  Since I am a huge fan of embellishments and tend to add a lot of them to my pages, I opted to go for a looser interpretation of this challenge.  I used a combination of paper, plastic and fabric embellishments! You know, paper as in Washi, cardstock leaves, and chipboard; fabric as is thread, ribbon and flowers; and plastic as is sequins and bradz, an acrylic word and a clip.

Any way, on to my layout.

I am documenting a new photo today, sent to me by my son shortly after they had the photos taken.  Actually he sent me a link to download all of the photos - how lucky am I!!

I opted to die cut a large stocking from white cardstock (a Silhouette store cut file) and back it with Pebbles patterned  paper and then hand stitch around it with white crochet thread. It wasn't too time consuming and only took about 30 minutes.

Then I worked on creating the cuff for the stocking, cutting the pieces from some of the cardstock that was included in the kit and adding some machine stitching around them.  These pieces were layered onto craft foam for some dimension.

And then I had fun with embellishing, layering chipboard, flowers, bradz and sequins.

I also added a small cluster embellishments to the upper right side of my page.

I have a new process video today, you can watch it on my You-Tube channel!

Supply List:  American Crafts cardstock in pine, scarlet and white; Pebbles patterned papers "Christmas greetings", "candy stripes" and "holly" all from the Holly Jolly collection; May Arts ribbon; Maya Road flowers; Echo Park Chipboard; Simple Stories bradz and clips; Elle's Studio washi tape; Pretty Little Studios acrylic word.  From my stash: white crochet thread; silver thread; silver sequins; Smooch mist (ice rink) My Mind's Eye vellum; Sharpie pen.

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Oh, What Fun: Christmas Cookies

I can't believe that Christmas is just a few days away! Are you ready for Santa? Have you made him some delicious cookies?

My page today is about our tradition of making cookies. Every Christmas my kids and I make gingerbread cookies. The kids each have to have their own ball of dough to roll out ... where they exercise their culinary creativity.

CHRISTMAS COOKIES

I combined both the Oh What Fun Classic Kit and Oh What Fun Daily Diary Kit on this page with it's cheerful color scheme of red, green, pink, white, and tan.

The two little gingerbread people were cut from one of the 3x4 cut apart journaling cards by Pebbles. Aren't they so cute?!

I used the brown color of the gingerbread people as an accent color, making sure to put it in a visual triangle around my page. The two other spots of brown are the reindeer die cut accenting the journal block, and the brown wood veneer accenting the top border strip.

The texture of the puffy stickers reminds me of icing decorating a Christmas cookie. I had lots of fun adding the puffy stickers all around the page.

Merry Christmas!

"Oh What Fun" with All the Trimmings

Hello Everyone, Lynn here with my latest layout using this month's "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit. Our challenge this week is "All the Trimmings - simply use three different types of embellishments on our project. Here's my page.

I came across this beautiful photo by my talented photographer friend of her adorable daughter. It was perfect for my Holiday page. Here's some close ups. 

Plenty of embellishments on this page ... thickers, washi tape, and an acrylic word.

I added sequins and a decorative paper clip.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season. 

{All the Trimmings} Challenge with the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit

Happy Monday before Christmas---yes, less than a week until the BIG day!  I have a layout to share today using the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit.  This week the design team is working with an "All the Trimmings" challenge, which means we are using a minimum of 3 different types of embellishments on our layouts.  

My layout is a picture of my kids visiting Santa last Christmas.  

I used quite a few different types of embellishments on this layout, why stop at 3???!?  I started off with a couple of layers of patterned paper mixed with cardstock to create a festive base for my photo.  Once I had the layers down, I began embellishing. 

I started with the title, which is a mix of the 2 alphas that came in this month's kit.  Next, I matted one of the cut apart quotes, threw in a "Santa's Toy Shop" chipboard piece, and tucked in a puffy sticker holly berries and leaf.  I paired this embellishment cluster with a home made journaling card.

Then I moved to the bottom of the photo.  I paired the "making spirits bright" die cut with a chipboard snowflake, a few branding strips, and the "be merry" label sticker to create this embellishment cluster.  I punched some 1" circles and "strung" them together with baker's twine to create the mini banner that swags across the top of the layout.

And with that, the layout was complete.  I am having so much fun with the "Oh What Fun" kit this month, and getting so many of those Christmas photos scrapbooked.  The giant Noel Mignon Kits have so much fun stuff in them---it's great for getting lots and lots of layouts completed.

Thank you for joining me today!  Have a Merry Christmas!!!!

Santa Hat | Oh What Fun Classic Kit

Hey there!  Laura here today with a new layout to share using the 'Oh What Fun" December classic kit!   As you know, this week the DT members were asked to use ribbon and / or washi on their projects and since the kit came with great options for both - this is a no brainer! I chose to pull papers from the Simple Stories Classic Christmas collection that were included in the kit to create my page.

I began my page with this photo of my youngest son, who likes to don the Santa hat and hand out the gifts each Christmas.  Then I had the idea that it may be fun to use a Santa hat cut file.  I altered a cut file that I made years back to incorporate a patch work or string art look, so that I could fill in the spaces with a variety of patterned papers.

I also added in swatches of ribbon and vellum paper from the kit to fill in some of the patches.

Once that was finished I layered on a second hat band and pompom, after embossing the with a snowflake embossing folder.

I love these glittery Thickers that were in the kit!

I also added in some journalling and a few more embellishments to the bottom of my layout, and finished it all off with some mist splatters in red and green.

I also have a new process video today, you can watch the video for this layout below or here on my You-Tube channel!

Supply List: Simple Stories Classic Christmas "Falala", "T'is the Season" and "Oh Christmas Tree" patterned papers, Bradz and enamel dots; Pretty Little Studio Holly vellum; Echo Park I love Christmas chipboard; Thickers Reindeer alphas; American Crafts cardstock; Elle's Studio T'is the Season puffy stickers, washi and cut aparts; May Arts ribbons; Mr Hue's peppermint mist.  (from my stash: The Twinery Twine; green Smooch Spritz; Sharpei).
