Hi, Everyone! It's Jana Eubank. I am getting so excited for Thanksgiving next week! I always enjoy hanging out with family, telling stories, and eating delicious food.
I found this wood tray at Hobby Lobby and decided to dress it up for Thanksgiving using a mixture of the Golden Delicious Daily Diary and Classic kits. My plan is to change out the cards for the different holidays and seasons, and keep this decoration out year round. It's perfect on the side table of our family room!
The openings are a little smaller than the standard 4x6 and 3x4 cards, so I had to trim 1/8" off of each side of the cards. I was careful to select cards where this wouldn't be a problem with the design. Another option would be to add photos to the openings.
My favorite card is the "Autumn" card with the gold bow. I had fun layering a chipboard pieces and a brad on top of the bow for a unique look.
I also love that little owl critter! Doesn't he look like he is saying a prayer of gratitude with his eyes close like that?... How sweet!
This was so much fun to create! I can't wait to fill it with Christmas themed products next month!
Hey guys, are you having as much fun playing with the Golden Delicious kits as I am?? This kit seriously makes me smile every time I pull it out!
Today I have a pocket page layout. The original inspiration for this page came from some of the little drawings that my 4 yr old was making and I thought a pocket page would make more sense design wise and allow me to add more photos in with the drawings.
I used the classic kit for this page and even though it's not meant for pocket pages you can still make it work!
As I do with all of my pocket pages, I placed the photos in the spots where I wanted and then added embellishments & some patterned paper here and there until I was happy with it.
I also put a couple of the embellishments on top of and sticking out from my page protector because the placement worked better that way!
Today I am SO excited to share my latest Noel Mignon Daily Diary pocket pages using November's kit Golden Delicious. I am so excited because it surrounds one of my most favourite things in the world....gratitude and thankfulness.
I am continuing on creating pages in my 6x8 album with this kit. I just love this size for so many reasons. One thing that is really fabulous about the Daily Diary kits is that the are full of cards that already come either 2x2 or 4x4 sized. It makes these pocket pages SO convenient and quick to create. LOVE that!
The left hand side of my spread this month features a full page photo. I added some of the kit's embellishments on top. I am just loving the Tim Holtz Small Talk Occasions stickers that are included in this kit. Such beautiful sentiments and they make awesome additions onto pages.
As always, I have added my embellishments both directly onto the pocket sleeve, as well as onto my photo.
The right hand side of my spread consists of photos, 2x2 patterned paper cards, and those super cute chipboard photo frames I cannot get enough of. I LOVE these! They are so fun to add to photos and provide the most perfect dimension.
I love using the 4x4 cards in these pockets. I simply trim the card down to 2x2 and then I am able to fill 4 of the pockets.
Hands down, my family is where my deepest gratitude and thankfulness lies. He is our miracle baby and each day my heart bursts with gratitude for him.
I am so thankful for these photos and memories of our life.
Each fall we go to the pumpkin patch (as many families do). I am so thankful that we are able to slow down, enjoy the weather, spend time as a family, and "Enjoy the Ride"...
This layout is pretty simple, I really wanted to take advantage of the great patterned papers in the Golden Delicious Classic Kit that coordinated with the photos so well, so I used small pieces of them to line both sides of the layout...this way I still have plenty more of those same papers to use on another layout as well!!!
A few details from the layout include those awesome puffy stickers by Imaginisce, letter stickers by Jillibean Soup, Echo Park washi tape, and the October Afternoon label stickers.
And of course, I had to use the Maya Road fabric lace...my favorite part of this month's kit for sure!!!!
Thank you for letting me share my layout with you today. Don't forget our December 2015 Kit (Mistletoe & Holly) Reveal Party is this Sunday, Nov 22 at 7:00pm PST on our Reveal Facebook Page. You can pre order a kit before they sell out!!! The December kit is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
... or that's what I would call this page! Sometimes I can't help myself and my pages end up like a giant explosion of all my favorite things. This kit is so beautiful and had so many fun elements, I just wanted to squeeze a ton of them onto my page!
This week I am so thankful for the friendships God has put into my life... He has surrounded me with so many wonderful people. I think about this little community and y'all- it kind of breaks my heart that I can't see your faces in real life! I am glad I am not alone.
Y'all, there's no real technique here. Just lots of layers and adding on of things! It just makes me happy to see it all jumbled up on here. That's just me!
And here is what I created for the week of October 5 - 11 2015
The colours and cards were perfect for this week because it was Thanksgiving. And seriously, how cute is that 2x2 Acorn card?!!!
I loved mixing up the different size cards and stitching them together! I also loved the dimensional stickers from Imaginisce that came in this kit! How adorable is that fox?!!
Here are a few close up photos showing how I stitched together different size cards to create a 3x4 and 4x6 card!
Have you tried working with the Daily Diary Kits yet? If not, I suggest you give them a try! They are packed full of amazing goodies! I created 5 weeks worth of double page spreads with product left over! Stay tuned this month for the other 3 weeks I created!!!
Hi Everyone! It's Jana Eubank. I have all kinds of fun things to share with you today using the Golden Delicious kits! I just can't stop playing with them! I am having so much fun!
First up, I have a layout that I created using the Classic Kit. I usually have a hard time starting with a pre-printed design on a background paper, but this barnwood pattern by Echo Park Paper was calling my name! I love the way the lace looks against the rustic wood.
I created a process video of me putting together this page. If you would like to watch it, just click on the video below, or visit my YouTube Channel HERE.

Last week I shared a couple of two-page pocket layouts. Most of the time, I try to use coordinating products on facing pages of my pocket albums ... but it doesn't always have to be that way. Sometimes the photos on the facing pages just don't go with each other. That is when I treat each side of the two-page spread as separate layouts.
Today I wanted to share with you a few single-page pocket pages, using the Golden Delicious Daily Diary kit. Here is what I came up with!
GRATEFUL
This pages uses a mixture of all of the manufacturers in the Daily Diary Kit. That cute bacon card was perfect for this page! We like to eat lunch at a place called "The Corner Bakery." My daughter loves that they serve breakfast all day and every time we go, she orders pancakes and bacon. :)
I added a strip of washi tape to the bottom of the title card and then accented it with a stickers, sequins and brads from the Classic Kit. How cute is that little squirrel!
I cut the little house out from one of the Simple Stories cards to use as an accent. The egg brad looks so cute accenting it on the bacon card!
I *HEART* FALL
For this page, I cut one of the 2x2 cards into a banner shape to accent the top left photo, stapling it on with my mini stapler and accenting it with a couple of sequins from the Classic Kit.
My kit included these two scalloped circle accents. They weren't quite large enough to stand on their own, so I used a circle punch and the packaging of the October Afternoon Memory Mix cards to add a background layer to them. I LOVE using packaging as patterned paper. A lot of times, you can find a complimentary pattern on them that isn't included in the actual product line.
FALL
Finally, I created this page about Fall last year. My birthday is in the fall ... I wonder if that is one of the reasons I love it so much?! Hehe! All I wanted to do for my birthday last year was spend the day crafting in my room. My husband went to the local bakery and brought me home all kinds of yummy treats to snack on throughout the day. He's a keeper!
I also loved how cozy our house and yard were feeling to me. I snapped a few pictures to remember the way the sun comes in the windows. I love taking pictures of the inside of my house once in awhile because it seems like we are always changing and improving things. It's fun to look back on the way we used to have things!
Thanks for letting me share! I hope you find something to inspire you to make some projects with your Golden Delicious Kits.
