More Spooktacular-ee-ness!


Velcome, my friends to another day of Spooktaculareeness at NoelMignon.com!!!
I have had lots of fun playing with my Something Wicked kit (hurry, only 7 left!) and have some really fun projects to share with you!!


Need a gift bag? This is a super quick one I made just using my paper scraps and some buttons. LOVE that sweet little tag by We R Memory Keepers, and that black baker's twine is PERFECT!!


I generally just do some pretty basic decorating at my house (my husband is a bit of a grinch in the lots of decorations - or as he calls it, crap all over the house - department) and so I generally try to keep it to the entry hutch, the catch-all table, and the mantle.


You'll have to excuse the old layouts - I still haven't gotten new ones up there....
I got the kraft skull at Michael's and made the banners from my Something Wicked kit. I love the colors Noel went with - classic orange, black and grey, but on the soft side, and with a little light blue mixed in.


I sewed the plain banner pieces together on my sewing machine, and tied the Trick or Treat banner with twine. I added one of the cute little buttons in the kit between each little banner piece and I am in love with how it turned out. Simple, but perfect for the hubbs and me.

Be sure to check back in everyday this week for lots more inspiration and check in at the message board too, because we'll be posting some extra goodies for you over there! Oh, and also, be sure to enter to win this awesome kit Noel is giving away!!

Happy Scrappin'!!

Spooky cards!

I've made some oh-so-creepy Halloween cards to share with you this afternoon.
I pulled some of the papers from the Study Hall kit (not just for school stuff...for sure!!) and paired them up with the new Too Cute to Spook line from Bella Blvd.


Prepare to be spooked...

Join Us!

Please be sure to join us over on the Message Board all week long for fun Halloween ideas and thoughts for using up those "Something Wicked" kits!

Challenge layout!


So, I challenged the design team this week to come up with a layout based on one of the sneak peek images from the kits. I know this would REALLY stretch us outside of the box and might be a fun way to look at some of the products in a new way.

This was the sneak peek image I chose, based on the Something Wicked kit (there's still a few left if you want to grab one in time for Halloween!). 

And here's the layout I made from it! The only thing I added was the cardstock for the background. All the papers are the fronts and backs of the patterned papers that are shown in the peek. I didn't have as much of the paper as I wanted to in order to create a mat around the photo block, so I cut strips and laid them haphardly around the back of it. I like the way it turned out! 

Come join us in the fun! I'd love to see your take on it!

Merry Not Scary & Spooky Cards


Hello, friends! Today I have a new layout to share with you using the "Something Wicked" kit. At our house, Halloween is "Merry, Not Scary" and this layout celebrates that!


I punched these circles from patterned paper and cut a few of them in half as well as used a My Mind's Eye layered brad. 


I cut the spider from the American Crafts "Night fall" patterned paper and stacked a My Mind's Eye layered brad and We R Memory Keepers chipboard tag.


I printed and cut a couple of my photos to look like Polaroids and then tied them off with twine and the girls' initial with Authentique Paper mini stickers. 


And finally, today I have what I created for the "Sneak Peek Challenge" over on the challenge blog. Here's the peek I used:


and here are the spooky cards I created. Everything came from the peek except I did add twine and cardstock. 


See you all next week!
