{Lazy River} with "The Big Splash" Classic Kit

I hope everyone is having an AMAZING summer, enjoying the sun, the heat, the outdoors, all of it.  Today I'm sharing another layout with "The Big Splash" Classic Kit.  This kit is a fun one, and it put me right into the "summer scrapping" mood.  

I wanted today's layout to feature some of the beautiful stamps that came in the kit.  So with that in mind, I began arranging the background layers and placing my photos.  I used fairly monochromatic papers and ink for this layout, with just a few pops of the complimentary color, orange, which I took directly from the photos.

Now that I knew where my papers were going to be, I went to work with a few of the palm frond stamps and 3 different colors of green/teal ink.  I randomly stamped the 2 different size palm frond and mixed that with the 2 different sized smaller leaves from the Heidi Swapp stamp set in the kit on the upper right and lower left corners of the layout.

I used the white glitter alphabet stickers, matted them on black paper, and fussy cut around them to create my title.  I added a chipboard sticker, a couple of puffy stickers, and a cardstock sticker to finish off the title area. 

Next, I mimicked the same types of embellishments on the bottom left hand corner of the layout, using chipboard stickers, puffy stickers, and a couple of cardstock stickers.  I kept the page balanced by using the same types of embellishments in both clusters.  I also made sure to add a couple of pops of orange in each cluster.

The last thing I did was splatter some of the blue mist that came in the kit on both embellished corners of the layout.  And with that, the layout is complete.  Thank you for stopping by today!!!

{Family 2016} layout with the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit

Hello friends!  It's Meridy here with you today.  I have a layout to share with you this week featuring some mixed media and the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit.  This layout is featuring photos of our Thanksgiving dinner in 2016.

For this layout, I started with the BEAUTIFUL Prima papers from the Autumn Moon line.  They are just gorgeous! 

 The left side of my layout features my 2 favorite pictures from Thanksgiving dinner.  I really enjoyed layering up different textures and media for this side of the layout.  I started with the dimensional leaves in the kit, then added some of the twine.  Next I stamped a few images directly onto the layout.  

I also splattered some of the beautiful stain that came in this month's kit across the corners of the page, right over my embellishment clusters.  

The right hand side of my layout features an 8x10 collage.  I find this is a great way to add multiple photos to a layout without making it feel cluttered.

I finished off this page with a strip of glitter washi and a cute cluster of embellishments from the great selection in this month's kit.  I love that everything in my Noel Mignon kits work so well together.  I used some crystal dots, paper leaves, a paper bow, some printed die cuts, and a few puffy stickers.

And that wraps up my layout this week, with a touch of mixes media.  Thanks for stopping by!!!

{Picking the Perfect Pumpkin} made with the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit

Happy October!!!  It's Meridy here today and I just love this time of year.  Today I'm using the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit to create a double page layout about my daughter at the pumpkin patch last year.

 

The colors in this kit are so beautiful!  I started with the plaid paper from the kit and added an extra plaid grid with the thin bronze glitter washi tape in the kit.  That is what I used to base this layout around. 

I couldn't wait to fussy cut the beautiful floral paper and use the floral clusters as embellishments on a layout, and this was the perfect "girly" layout to do that on.

I used the dark grey alphas from the sticker sheet in the kit to create my "Picking the Perfect Pumpkin" title on the layout. I paired the title with a couple die cuts, a leaf, and the acrylic word "lovely" from the kit.  

I mimicked the elements from the right hand side of the layout on the left hand side to keep it consistent and coherent. 

I, once again, fussy cut some floral clusters, added a few stickers, and a leaf from the kit to create an embellishment on the lower right hand side. 

To round out the layout, I splattered some gold mist that I have from an older Noel Mignon kit.  

And that completes my layout for this week.  Thank you for stopping by!!! Happy October!!!

{Daddy's Girl & A Tilt-a-Whirl} with the "High Five" Daily Diary Kit

Hello friends!  It's Meridy here today and I'm working with the "High Five" Daily Diary kit and the Paper Add On.  There are still a few of these beautiful kits in the store!!!  This kit is PERFECT for summer days and the beach, but Noel Mignon kits are so versatile that this week the design team is going to be using our kits to scrapbook pages that aren't necessarily summer themed.  The layout I'm doing today is about my husband and my daughter taking a ride on a Tilt-A-Whirl.

The colors in the kit matched the photos of the tilt-a-whirl just perfectly. I really adore the Thickers that came in the Daily Diary Kit this month...their ombre color is just dreamy! So I had to use them for an EXTRA long title on this layout.

I added a small embellishment cluster near the two areas where I placed my title. 

I added a few mist splatters across the page to add just a little more color to the white background paper.  Once I finished my journaling, that wrapped up the layout.  Thank you for stopping by the blog today!  Check back all week to see what other types of "out of the box" layouts the design team creates with this month's kit!

Two "Adventurous" Layouts using the {Let's Get Lost} Classic Kit

Hello Noel Mignon Friends!!!  This week the design team is working with the "Let's Get Lost" kits and creating "adventurous" layouts.  I am working with the Classic Kit. 

Today I'm sharing 2 layouts of pictures of my son back from 2011.  We were playing and fishing in the mountains.  I have quite a few layouts from this day, and I have so many pictures, so I didn't need to include jounaling on every single layout.  But I did want to try to fit as many pictures as possible on a few pages.  The "Let's Get Lost Kit" was perfect for these photos, this is what I came up with...

For this first layout, I used the Fancy Pants "Teal Dot" paper as the background.  I only used one more scrap of patterned paper on this layout, the chevron patterned paper by Pink Paislee.

I used a combination of an arrow stamp with blue ink,  a "+" stencil with watercolors, and some of the Heidi Swap "Ocean" Color Shine splattered on the Teal Dot background paper to create an interesting canvas.  I also used a little white acrylic paing under my title and the date to allow those to pop and not get lost in the background.  

I created my title with a combination of the glitter Thickers and a few stamps from my stash.  I added a few cork stickers to the title as well. 

I used one of the flair pieces and a cork sticker from this month's kit to embellish the 4x6 photo on the page. 

I used the canvas banner, a date stamp, another cork piece, and one of the glitter Thickers to embellish the bottom corner of my layout.  

The second "adventurous" layout that I made with the Let's Get Lost Kit is also packed with photos.  I used a "We R Memory Keepers" patterned paper as my background, and matted the entire layout on another "We R Memory Keepers" paper.

Again, I had so many photos, that I didn't need to use much more than a few scraps of the patterned papers from the kit.  I did pull the green gingham scraps from an older Noel Mignon kit. I matted all of the photos with the Kraft paper that came in this month's kit.

I used a glitter Thicker's phrase for my title "Let's Go!".

I fussy cut a few shapes from some various patterned papers in this month's kit to create embellishmnets.  I loved the Bingo card that came in the kit, so I made sure to use it here too!  My favorite part of this layout was when I realized our city "Tucson" was on the map paper!!!  It was very close to the edge but I HAD to stitch a little red heart around it.  It still looked a little bit lost, so I added some blue ink all around the heart to bring a little more attention to it.  I absolutely love this little area of the page! You can see the heart in the photo below.

Thank you so much for visiting today!  Check back on the blog all week to see other "adventurous" layouts by the rest of our creative design team.  We would love to see your work on Instagram #NoelMignon

{Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair} layout with the "Delightful" Daily Diary Kit

Happy Monday!!!  It's Meridy here today with another 12x12 layout using the "Delightful" Daily Diary Kit.  I also used a patterned paper and a piece of cardstock from the Classic Kit Paper Pack for the base of the layout.   Today's layout is yet another Disneyland layout.  If you like scrapbooking Disney photos---keep your eye out for an EXTRA Noel Mignon Kit being released soon, it's exclusively Disney!!!

Onto today's layout, I really wanted the layout to feature the pinks and purples in Rapunzel's dress, so I choose papers and cards with these colors.  The dark purple cardstock is from my stash.

Once I had the papers and photo adhered, I started embellishing.  This was a BREEZE with the great embellishments in the Daily Diary kit.  I misted the Prima flowers to make them the colors I wanted for the layout, blue and lavender.  The "Magical Moment" card was PERFECT for a Disneyland photo, the cork butterfly and mini pink doily were great feminine additions to the page.

I stamped journaling lines onto the pink and white 4x6 card, punched the heart from a 3x4 card in the kit, and stamped the date with the stamp from the January Daily Diary Kit---I love that most of Noel's kits come with supplies that are reusable!

I balanced the left side of my layout with a trimmed off portion of the 4x6 card I used on the layout, added a few more punched hearts, and finished off the layout by outlining most of the layers.

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

{Mommy's Little Artist} with the "Little Bird" Daily Diary Kit

Hello Noel Mignon fans!  Today I am sharing a 12x12 layout that I made using the "Little Bird" Daily Diary Kit and the "Little Bird" Paper Add On.  But first I want to share a photo of the kit, there are still a couple left in the store!!!

Isn't this kit just full of awesomeness!!!?!

I started this layout by blocking off the bottom half with the diamond patterned paper and the herringbone navy paper on the left hand side.  Next I built up the "love to create" card and the photo by layering them on some of he light blue paper from the paper pack.  I really loved the bright red Daily Diary card, but I didn't want to use the whole card on this layout.  So I cut it on the diagonal and created a partial photo matt and punched a heart out of the section that is behind the photo.  

I added a few really cute flags, tags, and tabs to embellish the 4x6 "love to create" card.  I also outlined a few various pieces with a thin red marker to bring in a little more red, and to make them stand out a little more.  I cut the lined paper I used for my journaling card from one of the 3x4 cards from this month's kit.   

I added a few splashes of mist since the pictures are of my son painting.  I thought the mist mimicked the look of paint splatters.  And finally, I added my title "Mommy's Little Artist".  The letters for the word "Mommy's" came from the sticker sheet in the Little Bird Daily Diary kit.  The red Thickers for the word "artist" came from my stash.  And that about wraps up my layout.  I love seeing you share your work on the Noel Mignon Members Facebook Page---I hope to see you there!  Have a great week.

{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.
