Family // member scraplift

Hey guys, Michelle here with another member scraplift! I've been playing with the fabulous Falloween kits over the last week and it's really getting me even more into the fall mood!! I'm finding ways to document the Fall season including a family photo shoot we had in the park last week. Many of the leaves have turned and are beginning to fall and it makes for gorgeous photos! 

Today I'm scraplifting Noel Mignon member Kristina Corzatt MacKeen and here is her layout:

I love a collage or grouping of photos on a page so this one popped out at me when I was looking for someone to scraplift. And here's what I came up with:

I kept the same basic design of the layout, just changing title placement and some embellishments. Falloween classic kit had the perfect colors to compliment my family photos!

Member Scraplift with the Falloween Daily Diary Kit

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Lynn here with a pocket page using this month's "Falloween" Daily Diary Kit.  There are a few of these kits left and they are well worth it. This month's kits can be used for BOTH Fall and Halloween projects. The Design Team's theme this week is to scraplift another design team member or a Noel Mignon Member. I chose to scraplift a Noel Mignon member Brenda Becknell. I created a Fall themed pocket page.

I used Brenda's layout below as my inspiration for my title card.

Here's a close up of my title card. I used a title in place of Brenda's photos.

This is such a lovely time of year, especially here in New England. The humidity is gone, the air quality is much better and the Fall colors are spectacular. The leaves here are just starting to turn so I look forward to photographing the seasonal transition. This month's kit couldn't be more perfect to showcase the highlight of the season. Here's more close ups of my cards. I printed all my photos with the Instax printer. I love the cute polaroid style of the photos. 

I used lots of stickers and some enamel dots from my stash to embellish my cards. 

Here's more close ups.

I stapled my photos to the cards. This allows for hidden journaling, especially nice if your journaling is more personal. I chose not to journal but I'm still able to peek under the photos for a sentiment.

As always Lola is on my pages! She is my 6 month old Cockapoo puppy and is so adorable!

Here's the last few close ups.

Thanks again to Brenda Becknell for your inspiration. Stay tuned for more scraplifting this week by the design team. 

Have a great week and I'll see you next week with another pocket page with the Falloween Daily Dairy Kit!!

{Scraplift Challenge} with the "Falloween" Classic Kit

Happy Monday!  It's Meridy here with a layout to share with you using the October 2016 "Falloween" Classic Kit.  This week the Design Team is scraplifting either another design team member, or a current Noel Mignon subscriber.  I choose to scraplift one of our designers, Jana Eubank.  Her layouts are lovely and she works in a style similar to mine.  

I created this double page layout using her single page layout as inspiration.  

This is the layout that I choose to scraplift, I really liked the diagonal line across the top portion.

I took my main inspiration from the diagonal line, and recreated the layout using the photos that I had.  They were not the same sizes and orientation, but I was able to use what I had and not worry about it looking exactly the same.

I also mimicked the design on the right side of the layout.  I didn't want to make the right side identical to the left side, so I changed it up a bit.  

I kept the title placement the same as it was in my inspiration piece and added a few embellishment clusters.  I got rid of the journaling on the left side of my layout, and included it on the right side of the layout instead.  

I also included a "secondary" title on the right hand side.  I replaced one of the "o"'s in "Spooky" with  chipboard spider web embellishment.  I thought it would be a cute touch on the layout. 

I created small embellishment clusters, just like Jana's inspiration layout.  And when I was just about done, I decided I wanted to add a few ink splatters for the finishing touch.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Come back all week and see if the Design Team scraplifted YOU!!!

Made To Create - You've Been Scraplifted, Crystal Butler!

Happy Black Friday! Did you do some shopping in the wee hours of the morning? 

Today is one of my favorite days of the year! I stay in my pajamas, usually do some Christmas crafting, clean house, and decorate for Christmas! It's so fun and relaxing! 

Today I'm sharing with you a wonderful layout from our friend Crystal Butler! She posted this during our fall crop, and I used the grid layout and embellishing as inspiration for my layout today! 

I used what I had- 4x4 photos and lots of goodies from the Golden Delicious kit. 

It was so fun to tuck in all these little goodies in here. 

This whole layout celebrates a weekend retreat I went to recently... being reminded that we are ALL made to create. I'd forgotten that this year.. there's been a lot of time this year that I haven't had to feed that side of me, and I've felt pretty crappy because of it. It is not easy, but it is so important to be able to take a little time to do the things you love. The people around you enjoy it! 

Member Scraplift---Jackie George

This week is dedicated to scraplifting our members...I really enjoy scraplifting layouts every so often. I created this layout using the "Golden Delicious" Classic Kit.

It is based off of the following layout by Jackie George...

When I "lift" a design, I typically copy it pretty loosely.  I'm not very good at scraplifting every piece, layer, and embellishment exactly the same.

As soon as I saw this combination of mint colored papers in the Golden Delicious kit, I knew EXACTLY which photos I wanted to scrapbook with them.  They matched my kids' 2014 Christmas photos perfectly!  I couldn't have asked for better color coordination!

I've decided to try to add little bits of my own handwriting as embellishments on my layouts.  This one I wrote "merry", "noel", and "love" and well as "2014".  I like the little added touch!  I need to keep practicing creative lettering so I can do more in the future.

Thank you Jackie, for sharing your work on our Noel Mignon Members Facebook page---you really inspired me!

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow, I will see you all next week with another layout!

Scraplifting: Lynn Kopas!

I got the privilege of scraplifting Lynn Kopas this week. And she's got some amazing inspiration to choose from, but I chose to scraplift this layout by Lynn.


I used my Tea for Two kit to create this layered layout of my 2 girlies with one of their neighbors and best friends. I recently found their secret club notebook while I was cleaning up their room. It was so sweet. I'm looking forward to watching these 3 grow up together.
 

I chose to layer several of the Crate Paper sheets that came in Tea for Two. I used the inspiration of the slide more as an embellishment instead of around my photo because of its size. I also got inspiration from Lynn's use of arrows, which I included at the top left as well as in my title work.

Be sure to upload your layouts to the Noel Mignon Members board and you may see your creations scraplifted too!  Thanks for the inspiration Lynn!

Happy Friday everyone!

You've been scraplifted!!

I hope you have all been enjoying our member lift week! It has been so fun to see how we were inspired by the amazing projects that YOU all share with us!

The member I chose is some one who I am continuously wowed by! Her layouts are always so gorgeous, and her photos are fabulous! She is, in my mind, the queen of 2-pagers! Can anyone guess who I chose?? Meridy Twilling!! I think you are amazing, and was so honored to be inspired by you for this challenge!
 I was honestly, a little intimidated, but I picked one of my favorite layouts of hers, and just went to town with it! I stayed very closer to her design, I loved it and was so inspired by it, but I tweaked it a little to make it mine...and I only chose to lift one side of her gorgeous two page layout!

This is her layout that I chose:



Here is my version of the left side of her layout, also using the Tea for Two kit!

We hope you all are enjoying this week, and hope you'll continue to share your work to inspire us!!

The new Early Autumn classic kit is still available, you can pick yours up here!!

Lift Challenge: Jackie George!

Hi all! This week we've been scrap-lifting member layouts, and I picked Jackie George to lift!

Here is her layout:

I love the strips and all the scattered sequins! Also, I love the little clusters of embellies around the photos - so cute!

For my take on this layout, I used the Tea for Two kit. This has been my very favorite kit to date. And as I sit here writing this, I know my new Early Autumn kit is "out for delivery" and will be on my doorstep in just a few hours. And I'm so excited to crack that little baby open! But I must say, I am so sad to move Tea for Two out of it's little special spot on my desk for current kits. Sad indeed. So sad that I might not. I might just have to keep pulling from that one for a while...

But I digress.

We are here for a scraplift, and here it is!

 

I copied all the strips Jackie used - a great way to get rid of scraps, by the way! I just notched the ends and stitched them onto the base. This added a whole lotta dimension just right there!

Then I added a couple of cards from my Daily Diary kit as a background for the photos. From there I just kept layering and layering, trying to stay true to where Jackie had her layers and clusters around her photos.

This is kind of  an unofficial title. It's in a different cluster than Jackie has hers, but I just couldn't find the perfect thing for a title in that spot. I love how these two pieces sit above the stitched pieces, and the confetti fell so nicely around them. How perfect is it that the card pack in the Daily Diary kit had that cute little envelope of confetti?! Lucky me!

I had to steal a couple of little things from my stash - this "love this" sticker from the Shimelle sticker pack, a little type-written sticker, and the "remember" is from a roller stamp I got a million years ago. I love the look of stamping off!

 The last little cluster Jackie had was at the top right of the page. I just cut down a tag from the kit, layered a couple of stickers, and stitched the whole thing to the page. Easy peasy.

And that's my scraplift! Thanks for the inspiration, Jackie - love your layout!

Have a great HUMP DAAAAAAY everyone!
