You Are Awesome: You Go Girl Daily Diary Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with my last layout using March's You Go Girl daily diary kit.  I really wanted to use that little puffy sticker of the Boston terrier....I had a Boston terrier...it was meant to be!!!  I had this picture of my sweet Brody, who passed away last April.  

For this layout, I made it 8.5x11 to go in an album I had started a few years ago and never gotten back to.  It's basically a "Stories" album where I'd like to house some special stories from our lives.  This picture of Brody is perfect to go into the album.  I used an 8.5x11 piece of navy paper with gold foil hearts on it that went really well with the 6x6 papers from the kit.

The navy foam Thickers were perfect for the color scheme.  I cut out the camera from one of the cards in the kit and put that adorable dog face in the center of the camera.  It was perfect!

The #flawless die cut was so great to use here because he was pretty flawless.  

One of the journaling cards from the kit was so great to place my journaling on.  I also pulled out a chipboard "Hello" from my stash and some navy enamel dots from my stash as well to help pull it all together.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  We can't wait to see what you're making with March's kits!

It's a great life

How are y'all doing today?

This will be my last post for a while...life necessitates that I cut back on scrapping for a little while but hopefully in the not-too-distant future maybe I will be able to do more again. With 4 kids things can get a little hectic. I don't know how I managed years ago to take on multiple design teams and actually get everything done!

I think that maybe it's because the kids were tiny and there was this thing called nap time when I could get some things done everyday. ☺

Anyway, I've used both You Go Girl kits from this month to create this layout below:

I started with a white cardstock base like I do a lot of the time and added some spray mist in pink hues to match my girls' shirts and then added the cute x's and o's diecut mat. I layered some patterned paper, Simple Stories little squares of paper and a journaling spot from the Elle's Studio calendar cards. 

The pale pink heart was cut from another calendar card from the Daily Diary kit. I added some washi and stickers to the card with the green box at the top. 

One of my favorite parts of these March kits was the cute icons like these adorable girls, pretzels, flowers and sunshines. SO fun! 

Thank you for stopping by Noel Mignon today ♥

Stay tuned every day for more creations with the You Go Girl kits and soon the design team will share some projects with the beautiful new Vintage Spring kits.  As always, check out the store to see what other things you might like to have to go along with your kits. 

Disney pages // You Go Girl Classic Kit

This week I was inspired to create some Disney pages after seeing what fellow DT member Meridy was creating with the You Go Girl kits. I have 2 pages to share today. The first is from my last trip to Disneyland last November. My son & I went for the 5k and even though we were only there for a few days we had so much fun. I mean, it's Disney! How could you not have fun, right?!

Most of my pages were created with the You Go Girl Classic Kit. Although I did use a few elements from the Daily Diary Kit. "The Best Thing" paper was actually the packaging from the Pretty Little Studio alphas. The "happiness" tag was from one of the 4x4 journaling cards that I cut down.

My second layout is actually 9x12 since that is the size album I'm using for that trip...I thought I'd mix things up a bit and deviate from the standard 12x12 size. I love this size when you're working with just 1 photo, it's much easier to manage.

Grad School: You Go Girl Daily Diary Kit

Hey!  Sarah here with a simple layout using the daily diary kit for March.  I wanted to document the fact that I decided to go back to school at the age of 39, which is scary!  The die cuts really helped me to put this together quickly.

I pulled a few papers from my stash to layer behind my photo since the last paper I have from the kit didn't really fit the look I was going for.  So I layered them up and used a full Felicity Jane paper for my background, which is a gray with a scalloped bottom.

I loved the backpack die cut from the kit and knew I could use it here since it is a school themed layout.  I also used a Pebbles puffy sticker of the coffee cup, because...school.  

I used the square die cuts in a grid pattern to embellish the left side of the layout.  I felt that the quotes on them were perfect for this layout.  The "You Got This" is cut from one of the 6x6 papers from the kit and layered on top of a die cut where I didn't need the quote, so I covered it up with a better one for the layout.

I used a long title!  I put the "Grad School" in white to highlight that as my overall title and the rest I used the navy Thickers.  I really like the look of the title.  The Pink Paislee butterflies helped to anchor the journaling.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I can't wait to see how you are using your March kits!

Taco Friday: You Go Girl Daily Diary Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with a layout using the You Go Girl daily diary kit.  When I saw the "Taco Tuesday" sticker in the Pebbles package, I knew exactly what layout I would make.  My girlfriends (and occasionally my husband) go out every Friday night and have tacos.  It was perfect!

I used a background paper from my stash since the only paper I have left to use in the kit didn't fit the look I was looking for.  I pulled out this neutral paper to use which had the top patterns and stars and the bottom drops already printed on it.  I also pulled the large gold doily and the blue branding strips with hearts from my stash as well.

For my title, I knew I had to use that "Taco Tuesday" sticker as a part of it.  For the rest of the title, I did a little take on the quote from The Lego Movie where Wyldstyle talks about Taco Tuesday turning into Freedom Friday...but still on a Tuesday.  So I took that to influence my title for "Taco Tuesday...but on a Friday."  I took two of the 6x6 pattern papers to layer behind my two photos which are both 4x4 sized.

For the outsides of the photos, I used a few stickers to embellish it.  On the right side here I used a Pink Paislee epoxy sticker and two Pebbles puffy stickers.  The little BFF phone was awesome because these girls are my BFFs!

For the left side I cut out this quote from one of the 6x6 papers that says "happy girls are the prettiest" because we are happy when we have tacos. And the #girlsquad was great, and I did preface in my journaling that it's always us girls and occasionally my husband, lol!

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I can't wait to see what you're making with this month's kits!

remembering the best times

Hey there!

Is it spring break where you are?

It is here and we've been lazily enjoying our time off.

We haven't gone anywhere amazing or done anything too exciting but it's been fun to be home and to relax and not have to be too many places like we would on a regular week. With one daughter in competitive gymnastics we get to travel a lot this time of year so we are happy to just be able to stay home and do nothing ☺

For this week's project I used the You Go Girl Daily Diary kit. It's adorable and there are still two left in the shop!

For this page I used the grid paper in the Daily Diary kit. The rainbow striped piece is actually the paper insert from the little foam Thickers. I just pulled it out of the packaging and cut a strip off and saved the remainder for another project. I love to use packaging and other kit contents in creative ways. 

This little frame was from the kit as well. I used spray mist in green and aqua to add some color to it and then added a couple of Pink Fresh Studios leatherette tags and other embellishments around it. 

One of my favorite parts of Noel's kits is the mix of alphas that can be used in titles. Here I used the foam Thickers from the Daily Diary kit and some puffy stickers and a chipboard word to make the title for my page. 

What have you been creating lately? 

We'd love to have you visit with us and share your creative ideas on our Noel Mignon Members Facebook page. 

Have a great day!

Book Fair: March "You Go Girl" DD kit

Hi!  Sarah here with a layout using March's daily diary kit.  I really wanted to highlight the school book fair this year because it's something that I volunteer for each year and it helped me come to the decision to pursue my master's in library sciences.

The Pebbles paper from the kit was perfect since it's really a school themed layout.  I also pulled fun little elements like the typewriter from a die cut pieces and the little girl's head.  I cut one of the 6x6 papers in half to make it look like it's a longer piece to take up more room on the layout.

I used the Thickers from the kit for my title along with a pieces from the circle die cut and a cute puffy sticker and flower.  I love the way it all came together.

The large epoxy sticker is from my stash and I was saving it for this layout because of the quote on it.  I have discovered my passion for books and reading and I'm not letting fear keep me away from my dreams!

I cut out the "woo hoo" from a die cut hat piece because I liked the words, but didn't need the hat part of it.  Make your supplies work for you!  I added some sequins to help finish it off.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I hope you will consider documenting a time when you didn't let fear get in your way of your passions!  This is a great kit to do just that!

Selfies from a silly 6 year old

It's a beautiful spring-like day and I'm happy to share my first layout with the You Go Girl kits from this month. I got both kits because they are so cute, and plan to mix and match items from both kits on my projects. This page, though, uses only product from the Classic kit.

Do your kids ever leave funny selfies on your phone?

I was moving pics from my phone to the computer and found these pics of my youngest daughter (along with about ten more pictures) and decided to use them for this page. The little camera and smile! chipboard went perfectly with the theme of my page.

It's been a bit of a crazy week and the west Texas wind lately has given me headaches. Truth be told, I made this layout late last night and decided to keep things quick and easy. 

Sometimes that is the best, though, to allow the photographs to take center stage. 

I used some strips of patterned paper along with some Pink Paislee washi tape strips. 

I drew some lines with the nozzle of my spray mist to create a spot for hand journaling. 

I finished off the page with lots of Simple Stories stickers and a mixed-alpha title using the chipboard Thickers and blue alphas from the You Go Girl Classic kit. 

I thought the little pink sunglasses were so cute and liked how they looked right on one of the pics of my silly girl ☺

Have a fantastic day!

My Girl

Happy March everyone!!! I am so happy to be playing with the March kits!! The colors, the patterns, it's all just so bright and fun! So today I have a layout to share using (mostly) the You Go Girl Classic Kit.

I adore the thickers in this kit. Well, let's be honest, I adore everything in these kits!! Gold doesn't really photograph well but that scallop along the bottom is from the Pink Paislee washi strips. The striped washi is from the You Go Girl Daily Diary kit.

Key Spouse: You Go Girl Daily Diary Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with my first March layout using the "You Go Girl" daily diary kit.  As a military spouse, we spend a lot of time supporting each other.  We have to.  Or we would go nuts.  Because of this, the military came up with a program called the Key Spouse Program.  Basically it is designated spouses who serve as liaisons between the spouses and the base and squadrons that they are a part of.  I am a key spouse currently and we will be on a new journey soon where I won't be a part of a spouse squadron like we are now, so I won't be a key spouse again for a while.  I wanted to take this time to reflect on it because it's a big part of my life currently.

I pulled a Studio Calico paper from my stash to use as my background.  The 6x6 paper is from the kit and adds a nice pop of pink.  

I used the Thickers form the kit for my title.  A strip of washi tape really helps ground it.  I also used a phone puffy sticker which is fun because as liaisons, we use our phones a lot for making calls, messaging and updating the facebook group constantly.  I thought that was a nice touch.  The blue "Air Force Key Spouse Program" piece is from a pin that we get after we go through our training.

I really like the die cut that says "Let's Do This" but I didn't want the headphones that are on the top.  So I tucked the headphones behind the photo and kept the words and scrolls that I love.

I loved that quote on this card and it really is relevant.  As a military spouse, you have to be strong because it can be difficult at times.

I really love the way this layout turned out.  It's a great memory for and I want to remember this time in our military career.

I hope you're enjoying your March kits!  Please share your layouts in the Facebook group so we can see them!
