{CWE PTSA} Layout with the "Spring Fling" Daily Diary Kit

Happy Memorial Day, for those of you living in the USA!  

If you like scrapping patriotic events, Memorial Day parties, 4th of July festivities, or military photos, Noel has a Limited Edition "All Star" Kit.  This is not a monthly kit, but can be purchased separately via this link.  

I wanted to share that beautiful kit, before jumping into my layout for today!

It's Meridy here, I am sharing a 12x12 layout that I created with the "Spring Fling" Daily Diary Kit.  This is the last layout I made with this kit, and I created it using leftover scraps and bits and pieces.

I used a couple of pictures from the beginning of last school year, I paired them with coordinating patterned papers from the Daily Diary Kit and the paper add on pack.  Since I didn't have very many papers left, I used 2 branding strips across the top along with the yellow and white washi from the kit.

After I choose which papers to use, I began to arrange them on the layout, I used the striped paper as the anchor for my design and built up from there.  I used the "Hello" chipboard and the "you got this girl" 3x4 card as sort of a sub title.  I also added some flair from a previous kit, and fussy cut the "less Monday" & "more Friday" from a paper in this month's kit.

I did have to use some alpha stickers from my stash for my "CWE PTSA 2016-2017" title.  They matched the rest of the layout really well, so I decided to use them.  There was a cute 4x6 card with pencils in this month's kit.  I wanted to use it on this layout, but I was running out of room, so I decided to fussy cut the pencils from the card, pop them up with pop dots, and use them as embellishments!  I love how they turned out.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Have a great week.  See you next week where I'll be using the "Dive In" kit!

Unicorn - May Spring Fling DD Kit

Hey!  Sarah here with my last layout using the May Spring Fling Daily Diary kit.  Who else got a Unicorn Frappaccino when Starbucks had them?  I sure did and it was good.  I didn't enjoy the sour aspect quite as much, but overall I enjoyed the drink.

I love that some of the papers and embellishments in the kit went perfectly with the theme I was going for.  I printed the picture to a 4x4 and printed out that Starbucks image I found online.  For the layering around the photo, I used two 4x6 project life cards and a scrap from one of the 6x6 papers.

I used an old Studio Calico coffee stain stamp and pink and purple inks to create these coffee stain clusters (none included in the kit).  The purple flowers from the kit were on a "vine" so I cut them off and scattered them around the stain stamps.  I also loved that "Ain't Life Grand" flair badge since the drink in the picture is a grande size.

I immediately knew I wanted to use this Dear Lizzy sentiment Thicker on this page.  Many people were "mad" about the drink or thought it was a dumb idea.  I didn't - I totally bought into it, lol!

The purple glitter Thickers are from my stash, but I HAD to use them here!  And I finished off the layout with a wood veneer and puffy stickers from the kit.

I love how whimsical this layout turned out and how girly it looks for that pink and purple drink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  If you have photos of this drink, I encourage you to use your May kit with it, it's awesome!

hello spring!

I don't know about anyone else but I absolutely love spring! Now the pollen is an entirely different topic all together but I digress...

Every year I look forward to the day when my favorite nursery opens so I can wander through all of the beautiful flowers envisioning all of the color I can add to my yard...especially after the very long winter we had this year! I always make sure to take a picture of my cart full of flowers - all of those flowers together are just gorgeous :)

This is a pretty simple spread using the Spring Fling Daily Diary Kit (only 2 left!) As I've said before, the kits are designed so that you don't really have to think much about your pages. Everything is right there for you!

{Live Wild and Free} with the "Spring Fling" Daily Diary Kit

Hello friends!  It's Meridy here, working with the "Spring Fling" Daily Diary kit and the 12x12 paper add on.  This week the design team is featuring EMBELLISHMENTS on our layouts.  We are trying to use quite a few embellishments from Noel Mignon kits on our layouts.  I typically love using embellishments, so this was right up my alley!

I decided to scrap some photos of my kids at the splash pad last summer.  I love the navy color that is so trendy right now.  It looks excellent, and really pops when paired with soft, bright colors, like the salmon, yellow, and white on this layout.

First, I matted my photos into a strip, and placed them approximately where I wanted them to go on the layout.  Next, I began embellishing.  The first "embellishment" I made, was punched hexagons from the patterned papers.  I using those hexagons as the base for my layout.  I punched them in 2 different sizes, and placed them randomly across the layout until it looked balanced to me.

My next step was to add the title.  I used the chipboard that came in the Daily Diary kit.  The word "LIVE" kind of got lost on the white background paper, so I decided to mat it on some navy cardstock.  After I did that, it really popped!!!

I embellished the title with a yellow chipboard heart and a few enamel dots that I had left over from an older Noel Mignon kit.  The color scheme matched perfectly.

I added a wood veneer embellishment and a few more enamel dots to the upper right side of the layout, to balance out that area, and add a little interest to those few hexagons.

  

Finally, I decided to embellish my strip of photos a bit, I used some of the yellow washi tape that came in this month's kit, a few stamps that I had in my stash, and again, some enamel dots.

That wraps up my layout for today.  Thank you for stopping by.  Have a great week :)

June/July 2016 Project Life: May Spring Fling DD Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with a double page Project Life spread that includes two months from 2016.  These colors in the kit were perfect for documenting our summer last year.  It was a quiet summer, so I didn't need a ton of room for documenting anything.

I used up a ton of those Pebbles letter stickers.  They are the perfect size to add to cards and photos!  I used a few of the strips of paper from one of the 6x6 paper pad papers to add color and a place for my titles on the cards and photos.  Also, I'm having a love affair with those tiny puffy stickers from Jillibean Soup!

I went heart crazy on this card to document my heart murmur diagnosis.  The heart card, the wood veneer and the puffy stickers were perfect!

I finished off the spread with Finding Dory, because she's awesome!  This paper and the yellow stars paper are both from my stash.

ON TO JULY!!!!

Starting off the month right with a date night!  It's rare for my husband and I to get time to ourselves, so we soak it up when we can.

I wanted to include some fun stuff we discovered and did over the summer.  My girls love those mini Funko Pop mystery boxes.  We've collected quite a few.  I cut out images from some of the boxes and added them to the card.  My daughter Caylan got her first library card.  I snapped a picture of her holding her card and the first book she checked out all by herself.  The journaling piece a cut from Elle's Studio.  I also journaled about a read-a-thon I participated in that month.  I didn't need the "4" or the "5" so I stuck some flower puffy stickers over them and used that space to journal.  For the blank card, that will house a story about my husband's job.  It's not something I can share publicly for security reasons, but that will go there.

For The Secret Life of Pets card, I used some paper from my stash.  In one of the cut apart papers from the kit, there was a tag with a bunny head on it.  That was perfect, since there is a bunny in the movie!

And to finish it all off - Layla turned 5!!!  My baby!!!  I used that cute house paper and broke it up a little with the yellow washi from the kit.  The Pebbles letter stickers are puffy sticker were great, and the large cork 5 is from Freckled Fawn from my stash.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  This kit was perfect for a summer feel and now I have two more months complete in my album.

I can't wait to see how you guys are using your May kits!

Monkey Bars - 1, Addie - 0

Hey all! I'm back with a couple pages from the Spring Fling Daily Diary kit along with some elements from the Let's Get Lost Kits. And since my daughter broke her arm last week I thought it fitting to do a couple pages on that!

I started with a main page using patterned paper from the Let's Get Lost Classic kit and paired it with elements from the Spring Fling Daily Diary kit. I thought the "You Are Brave" pennant banner from the Let's Get Lost kit (Daily Diary kit I believe) was fitting for this page.

I also created a pocket page to go along with it with additional photos using the Spring Fling Daily Diary Kit. The colors of the kit matched perfectly with Addie's new cast ;)

{Went to Bed Age 9...} Layout with the Spring Fling Daily Diary Kit

Hello friends!  First off, I wanted to remind everyone that subscriptions for July-December 2017 are only open through today, so if you would like to sign up to sub to Noel Mignon kits, today is your last chance to do that for another 6 months.  

And now for my layout using the Spring Fling Daily Diary Kit and the 12x12 paper add on.  I really love the color schemes in the products this month.  I am really excited about all of the navy in the various paper lines lately, so the navy floral paper is the foundation of today's layout. 

I had a lot of fun fussy cutting floral elements from papers in this month's kit.  I mixed those cuts with a few of the chipboard stickers, and a flair button, to build up my embellishment clusters.

I also used a few different 3x4 project life cards to add more layers to the layout.  Once I mixed in a couple of Thickers from my stash, I was able to use some of the mini letter stickers to finish off my titles.  I covered one of the wood veneer half circles with paper and stamped a few sentiments on it before placing  it on the top right of my layout. Finally, I added a little bit of journaling to the journaling card on the right hand side of my layout. 

That wraps up my layout share for today! Thank you for stopping by.

Don't Grow Up - May Spring Fling Daily Diary Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with this week's challenge layout.  This week, we are challenging everyone to document something Spring-y.  Is that a word???  I have these two pictures of my girls, who brought home these GORGEOUS spring photos from school.  I can't even....

 

I really wanted to use the "Don't Grow Up It's A Trap" piece from the Dear Lizzy Thicker set.  Because really....kids grow up way too fast!  I layered up my photos with some of the neutral 6x6 papers from the kit.  

The Jillibean Soup wire words were perfect for this layout since it's about some school pictures.  I used both of them on the layout, one for each kid!  From the 6x6 papers, one of them had a strip of numbers, so I used a small epoxy sticker (not in the kit) and made two little flair badges to signify their ages.

The Elle's Studio ampersand card was the perfect base for the Thicker title and a great place for my journaling as well.  I added some washi and Jillibean Soup puffy stickers to help highlight the photos around the title.

Some more of the Thickers and sequins (not in the kit) helped to finish off the layout.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I can't wait to see how you will take on the challenge this week to scrap something about the spring!!!

March 2017 Project Life: May Spring Fling Daily Diary Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with a project life spread using the May Spring Fling Daily Dairy kit.  I chose this month to document with this kit because of the roses and tea pot cards that were PERFECT for documenting the Beauty and the Beast movie we went to see in March.  As it turned out, there were some other elements that were perfect for my spread as well.

To start the month, the main thing I documented was my daughter's 9th birthday party.  She's very artistic and wanted to do a guided art party.  

The paint swatch card from Elle's Studio was perfect for documenting her party.  I had saved a "9" and a transparent "March" circle for her birthday.  I also added a chipboard paint brush (not in the kit) which tied it in nicely.

Towards the beginning of the month, our military base experienced a tragedy.  One of the planes crashed into a field nearby, killing three airmen.  I was really hard.  Although it wasn't my husband's squadron, we all rallied to support the squadron that was affected.  

I was sent an early copy of a book that's coming out later this year from the publishers and I'm SO EXCITED!  It's one of my most anticipated reads for this year.

Those Jillibean Soup puffy stickers???  I can't get enough of them!!!

For the second side of the spread, my main inspiration came from the rose and tea pot 4x6 cards.  Is anything else more perfect for the Beauty and the Beast movie???  

I cut out a rose from one of the 3x4 cards to tie in with the journal card.  I added a Thicker "Love" and added a puffy sticker to the large card.

My daughter wanted to do a page in my journaling bible, which I let her do.  I was nervous, but she did a great job!  I also added that 3x4 card as a filler and put down two little puffy flowers.

I have two cards about reading.  One where I was sick and curling up with Alexander Hamilton, and one journal card about some books I read during two read-a-thons I did that month.

And my a sweet card about Caylan's first real cross-stitch that she completed.  That pink card was perfect, along with the wood circle.

I also had a very sweet letter that a friend sent me in a the mail.  It was one of the best letters I've gotten, so I added some Basic Grey attachment stickers to add as an insert in my album.  I used a strip of the washi from the kit, an envelope I saved and a puffy sticker form the kit to add a little something to it.

Thanks so much for joining me today for this project life spread.  I'm so happy that these kits are helping me to easily keep on top of my album this year!

I can't wait to see how you all are using your May kits!
