family time in newport

Hey all, Michelle here! I pulled out my Summer Lovin' Daily Diary kit to document a trip to Newport, OR that my family and I took last month. We were there for about a week and I took lots of photos so the bulk of those are actually going to go in a mini album. But I didn't want to just skip over this trip in my family scrapbook so I picked out some of my favorites to document in some pocket pages!

The Summer Lovin' kits have bright, fun colors which are perfect for any summer project! 

Smores on the beach is pretty much awesome!!
 
On most of my photos I simply added a little tag or sticker, most attached with my tiny attacher for simplicity.

I didn't quite have enough photos to need 2 full spreads (front and back) so I took a second pocket page and cut it down with my paper trimmer.

In the top 4x6 slot I used a 3x4 photo and 3x4 card and taped them together on the back.

If you have lots of summer photos that still need to be scrapbooked there still a couple Summer Lovin' Daily Diary kits left (classic kit is sold out). I will also be using this kit to finish up my Summer Mini...only 1 week of summer vacation left!!!

 

Can't Get Enough Sunshine and Happiness

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Lynn here with a new project life page. I am still crushing on the Simple Stories "Sunshine and Happiness" collection from last month's Summer Lovin Daily Daily Kit that I had to create one more PL page before I moved on to this month's kit. Sunshine and Happiness is one of my FAV collections from Simple Stories to date. The bright, fresh colors are so perfect for summer. I took advantage of all the 2 x 2 squares that came with the collection for this page. Here's the whole page.

I used the coordinating die cuts and stickers to decorate the cards. Here's my title card.

My photos are printed on my Instax printer - I'm kinda hooked on this style photo!! I layered stickers, ribbons and papers for this card.

Here's more close ups. I used the 2 x 2 squares included in this kit. This photo pocket page is perfect to showcase these squares.

Some of the squares are decorated with die cut and stickers. I popped up a few of added dimension.

Here's the last few cards. I used more ribbon to add banners under the dimensional circle sticker.

All my photos capture my summer living. Love this time of year so much!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I'll be back next week with  project using this month's Daily Diary kit called "Vintage Charm".

Have a great week!!!

Documenting Week 28 with Summer Lovin'

Danielle here today, 

to share with you Week 28 from my Project Life 2016 using the amazing 

Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit!!!

This weeks Design Team Challenge is 

"Vacation Time" - scrapbook your vacation photos. We have not left for our summer vacation yet, so I chose document photos my husband has sent me while he is working in Iqaluit, Nunavut - 2547km away from home!

Here is my process video

 In the spirit of the Design Team challenge, I also include a journal card, 

called Vacation Plans

 Here are some close up photos

 I wrote out the title "July" with some of the paper included this month, then fussy cut the letters out and glued them to the date card.

 I used some lime green thread this week for stitching, and I just love the pop of colour it add to the spread

So, what are your plans for summer vacation?

Summer Lovin' Kits: Soak Up the Sun

Happy Wednesday! Jana Eubank here. This past week I have been creating projects with a combination of both the Summer Lovin' Classic Kit and Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit.

I'll be sharing all of them on my blog over the coming week, so be sure to check in there! Today, I'm sharing a page I created for our design team "Vacation Time" challenge, which was to pull out those neglected vacation photos and get them on paper. Here is what I came up with! (For a process video of this page, scroll to the bottom of this post.)

SOAK UP THE SUN

Every year we go to Lake Powell with my family. We stay on a houseboat for a week and just relax and play in the water. It is magical! However, because it's a yearly tradition ... I tend to neglect scrapbooking those memories. I've been making a focused effort this summer to get as many of them done and in our books as I can.

The color scheme I went with on this page are the juicy, citrus colors of orange, yellow, and lime green. Very summer-y, don'tcha think?!

I love the little rainfall of circles to the left of the title card using the wood veneer circle and Bradz. Especially that adorable smiley face!

The wood veneer sunglasses and camera flair were the perfect icons to accent these photos of the lake.

And how cute is that little crab die cut from Imaginisce. I have LOVED all of the Imaginisce Sunny collection items we got to play with in this month's kits. I couldn't get enough of them!

Here is one last look at my page. If you would like to hear my thought process as I created this page, be sure to check out the process video below.

Have a great week!

Staycation with Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit!

Hello Bloggers, Lynn here with my final project life page using this month's Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit. I have enjoyed this month's kit -  the colors are so bright and fun and highlight the summer season very well. I'm continuing this week's vacation challenge - scrapping those vaca pics. Like Wendy I didn't have a formal vacation this year so I scrapped some Staycation pics. I used more of the Elle's Studio products so it would be a good match for last week's page. Here's my whole page.

I printed my photos with my Instax printer and stapled them to the cards - I love the cute little polaroids on my pocket pages. Here's close ups of the cards.

All I did with this card was to add a sun cardstock sticker and a decorative brad from Simple Stories for the camera lens. For the next card I added more cardstock stickers and typed the date on the title card.

I typed the journaling this week - sometimes I hand journal, but I gravitate towards typing.

Here's the last few cards. I printed this photo in landscape format to carry over onto two 3 x 4 pocket cards.

We would love for you to join us in this week's challenge. You can post your projects on the Noel Mignon Members Facebook Group page so we can see all your fun vacation pics!! 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great week!!

Week 49 with Wendy | Summer Lovin' Daily Details kit

Welcome back to the Noel Mignon blog!  Wendy here this morning to issue you a new challenge to help you finish up your kit before your new one arrives.  This week, your challenge is a Vacation Time challenge, pull out a few of those neglected vacation photos and make a point to get them scrapped.  Whose up for the challenge?

Our family hasn't actually been on a vacation in a LONG time, but part of the reason is we live in FL.  Some might think our daily life looks like vacation as we take daily trips to the pool, weekly trips to the beach, and a few visits to the mouse each month.  Course, everyday things happen to like work, school, errands, and a whole lot of heat!

To carry my theme over from last week I incorporated the pink ribbon and teal colors so that my weeks would go well together in my book.

And here is a picture of the complete spread, Week 48 & 49.

Even though it was made separately by tying in colors (teal and red) and elements (the bow, layered stickers, brads) the pages go very well together and tell our everyday story.

So if you are feeling challenged to scrap those Vacation moments (whether far away or close to home), share them on the Noel Mignon FB page, we'd love to see them!

Documenting Week 27 with Summer Lovin'

Happy Thursday! 

Danielle here today to share with you a new Project Life spread and process video using the Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit.

This weeks Design Team challenge is "Top 5" - the element of 5, I chose to create 5 pink titles on this project

This week I really tried to focus on journaling more, to tell the story.

I also used some ribbon from my stash to stitch along the edge of the page. I love the texture it adds.

Here are some close ups

I used some orange mist and created splatters all over. 

I added lots of stitching, using white, lime green and hot pink thread. I love the little pop of colour it adds.

I layered lots of bits...I love the arrow paper clip from the kit!

Thanks for stopping by! 

Summer Lovin': Happy Summer Layout

Hello Friends! It's Jana Eubank, here to share with you a Happy Summer layout using the Summer Lovin' Classic Kit and the Summer Lovin' Daily Diary Kit.

HAPPY SUMMER

This month I ordered both kits, because I love being able to mix and match the embellishments. On this page, I use the papers and wood sun embellishment from the Classic kit. Everything else on the page was taken from the Daily Diary kit.

For the title, I cut the letters out of one of the 4x6 Simple Stories Journal Cards and popped up each letter using foam tape. I love the bright burst of color this added to my page!

I punched a couple of hearts from one of the journal cards (the pattern side) and layered phrase stickers on top of them to create these embellishments.

I layered two 3x4 journal cards together to the left of my photos and then cut the birds out from a third card. Normally, you would think of these birds as "love" birds, but here I am using them to denote friendship.

I found a pink cardstock scrap in my stash, and punched it using a border punch to add a bit more pink to the bottom of this page.

This week was the High Five Challenge, where we were challenged to use 5 different manufacturers on a page, OR scrapbook 5 things about Summer that we love. The five manufacturers I included on this page are: Elle's Studio, Simple Stories, Freckled Fawn, Imaginisce, May Arts, and A Flair for Buttons.

If you'd like to see my process for creating this page, watch the video below.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you feel inspried to create a bright, summery layout using your Summer Lovin' kits. 

See you again soon!
