Happy Thursday!

Hiya everyone!!

Sorry this post is so late getting up.
Sigh.  I've had quite the week this week and I will be glad when it is over. I was all ready to do my post this morning when I realized the pictures I took were of extreme poor quality (not that these are much better).

Double Sigh.

One of the happy things about this week (aside from tomorrow being Friday) was getting to create with the fabulous, but sold out, Student Council Kit.  Don't worry though, if you didn't get a chance to snag one of these kits, be sure to check out the Student Council Limited Kit which is just as fabulous.

I decided to use the kit to document my son's discovery and new love of face time on his new-he saved up for it all by himself-he's so stoked ipod touch that he recently got in the mail.

He has been face timing a friend of his ever since it arrived in his hot lil hands.  They watch tv together, they eat together, there are times that I don't even know his friend is on the phone until I hear Mikey talking.

Mikey told me "It's like having him sleepover without him being here".  He's pretty right!  I only wish that I had one of these as a kid :)

I hope you guys are having a much better week and I will see you next Thursday with something quite spooktacular ;)

Frame it!!!

 Hello everyone!!!  Today I'm excited to share a layout I created using the Student Council kit.  Mini frames are such a huge trend right now & I was ecstatic to see the adorable Pink Paislee insta frame within my kit :)  I decided to make that my main focus point of my page, adding layered patterned paper, a title, and journaling around it.



I loved the library card patterned paper by Studio Calico.  This was one of those papers that is great to cut apart a tuck behind here & there.



I'm big on mixing fonts within a title, the grey Thickers were from the kit, and the teal Thickers & orange sticker alphas from my stash.  I created those little arrows simple by cutting them from one of the little ribbon stickers on the Lawn Fawn Dewey Decimal sticker sheet found within the kit.



Alrighty!!!  Grab your latest Noel Mignon kit. or simply some of your stash, add a mini frame or two & see what you can come up with :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

File this under ADORABLE!

Hi everyone! I'm back with another layout using the October Student Council kit! Although it is school themed, I've made two layouts with it now that are not school related at all! I love the versatility of this kit! Seriously, love!

I decided to use all that adorable Lawn Fawn paper and stickers, along with a few October Afternoon pieces in the kit. Here is what I did:

The title was inspired by the catalog file paper. The "File this under" was stamped using a Lawn Fawn alphabet stamp set I had in my stash!

Here are a few close-ups.

I used the Heidi Swapp Color Shine Spritz for some splatters again. LOVE this mist...the shimmer is fabulous! There are some additional colors of the Color Shine Spritz in the shop. The yellow and grey would be fabulous with the Mint Green that was included in the Student Council kit.

If you missed out on the Student Council kit, swing by the shop and pick-up the Limited Edition Student Council kit, which looks equally as fun! Make sure you don't miss another kit, and sign up for a subscription. The kits are such a great value and have everything you need to make 10-15 layouts. You definitely get a bang for your buck!

Thanks for coming by. Have a great week!

My College Kids

Good Monday morning, friends!

Did this weekend fly by or WHAT! I blinked and ::poof:: it's Monday.

Today I'm stopping by to share another layout I made using

October's Student Council kit. I really hate to say that this kit has already sold out,

but it's just your luck that there's a limited edition one right here:  Student Council Limited

Here's  -  My College Kids:

I love the versatality of this kit. It's perfect for any school age.

Preschool, Elementary - heck, even college!

These are just a couple of shots of my kids from the summer before they both headed

back to their colleges.  I just can't even believe they're both college kids!

I had alot of fun putting all the final details on this project.

The twine that comes in the kit are some of my FAVORITE colors to scrap with

right now. I just love that touch of gray.  I also love the oh so CUTE Lawn Fawn

school stickers. How CUTE are those apples??



I can't get ENOUGH of the Heidi Swapp Mint Green mist that Noel includes in the kit.

It's so shiny & sparkly! Perfect for just a touch of color where you want it.

Thanks for letting me share with you today!

I hope your day is wonderful!

Have a great creative week,

~Leslie

First Day of School

I finally got a chance to pull out the wonderful Student Council kit and got the first day of school pictures of my two bigs that I've been saving to use with it! 

(The Student Council kit is sold out, BUT there is a Student Council Limited Edition up for grabs!)

This was the first time I've gotten to use the MME acrylic dots, and boy do I love them! I really like how they fit right in with a splattering of mist and big brads!

Also, a small tip for other "literal" scrappers like myself... for some reason, I have a hard time using things like speech bubbles if it's not coming out of someone's mouth (hence why I call myself a "literal" scrapper), so I just snipped off the tip of the "school days" wooden speech bubble and used it as a regular ol' embellishment. Perfect! (I also have a hard time using animals like deer on my pages unless it has some connection to the theme of my layout. Weird much? Yes.) 

And now you know another little peek inside of my crazy brain. Please still be my friend. ;) heheh

My Wheels Are Spinning!

Happy Thursday gals (and guys?)!!!

I hope you're week is a lovely one.  I for one think it's running a lil too slow for my taste, but only one more day to go till the weekend!

One thing that has been helping with the long week is playing with the October Student Council Kit and my newest addiction....SPINNING!!!

So I thought that I would make a lo combining the two especially since I really would like to document this new journey to a healthier lifestyle.

I had soooo much FUN creating this lo for quite a few reasons:

1.  It always helps when you're scrapping an event/topic/picture that you feel really strongly about.

2.  The Heidi Swapp Glimmer Mists will knock.your.socks.off

3.  Even though your Silhouette blade is dull, you can still manage to get something that resembles a bike wheel...lol

4.  The different embellies in this kit are SO much fun to play with!

Now unfortunately, this kit is sold out, buuuuuuttttt.....Noel has put together a Student Council Limited Edition Kit which is equally as fabulous so get it while you can!!
