Book Fair: March "You Go Girl" DD kit

Hi!  Sarah here with a layout using March's daily diary kit.  I really wanted to highlight the school book fair this year because it's something that I volunteer for each year and it helped me come to the decision to pursue my master's in library sciences.

The Pebbles paper from the kit was perfect since it's really a school themed layout.  I also pulled fun little elements like the typewriter from a die cut pieces and the little girl's head.  I cut one of the 6x6 papers in half to make it look like it's a longer piece to take up more room on the layout.

I used the Thickers from the kit for my title along with a pieces from the circle die cut and a cute puffy sticker and flower.  I love the way it all came together.

The large epoxy sticker is from my stash and I was saving it for this layout because of the quote on it.  I have discovered my passion for books and reading and I'm not letting fear keep me away from my dreams!

I cut out the "woo hoo" from a die cut hat piece because I liked the words, but didn't need the hat part of it.  Make your supplies work for you!  I added some sequins to help finish it off.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I hope you will consider documenting a time when you didn't let fear get in your way of your passions!  This is a great kit to do just that!

Selfies from a silly 6 year old

It's a beautiful spring-like day and I'm happy to share my first layout with the You Go Girl kits from this month. I got both kits because they are so cute, and plan to mix and match items from both kits on my projects. This page, though, uses only product from the Classic kit.

Do your kids ever leave funny selfies on your phone?

I was moving pics from my phone to the computer and found these pics of my youngest daughter (along with about ten more pictures) and decided to use them for this page. The little camera and smile! chipboard went perfectly with the theme of my page.

It's been a bit of a crazy week and the west Texas wind lately has given me headaches. Truth be told, I made this layout late last night and decided to keep things quick and easy. 

Sometimes that is the best, though, to allow the photographs to take center stage. 

I used some strips of patterned paper along with some Pink Paislee washi tape strips. 

I drew some lines with the nozzle of my spray mist to create a spot for hand journaling. 

I finished off the page with lots of Simple Stories stickers and a mixed-alpha title using the chipboard Thickers and blue alphas from the You Go Girl Classic kit. 

I thought the little pink sunglasses were so cute and liked how they looked right on one of the pics of my silly girl ☺

Have a fantastic day!

My Girl

Happy March everyone!!! I am so happy to be playing with the March kits!! The colors, the patterns, it's all just so bright and fun! So today I have a layout to share using (mostly) the You Go Girl Classic Kit.

I adore the thickers in this kit. Well, let's be honest, I adore everything in these kits!! Gold doesn't really photograph well but that scallop along the bottom is from the Pink Paislee washi strips. The striped washi is from the You Go Girl Daily Diary kit.

Teacher Gifts with the You Go Girl Classic Kit

Happy Tuesday all!  I hope you are having a great week.  Can you believe we are already six days into March.  I have been helping put together items for my ladies group at church next week.  One of the tables at our upcoming party is themed in pencils to go along with a story.  I found these cute pencils on Pinterest and knew they would be perfect for our favors.  As I was going through the kit this month all the colors and materials jumped out and I knew they would work perfectly for putting these favors together. 

For anyone needing thank you gifts for teachers I am throwing this out in plenty of time to make a few up.  We know the end of school will be here before we know it.   :)

The base is Rolo candy topped with a Hershey Kiss.  

I started with cardstock and used a bone folder to score every 1/2 inch along the length.  Once scored I folded along the score lines and hot glued it around the rolos.

For the pencils eraser I cut pink cardstock and hot glued the strip along the top.

I finished the pencils off with a little place to leave a note.  These frames are cut from the pattern paper in the kit and then glued to ribbon and topped with the gorgeous paper flowers in the kit.  

Once the ribbons were glued on to each pencil I covered it with the metallic washi tape in the kit to mimic the metal on the tops of wooden pencils.  

I love how these turned out and the beautiful feminine touches items from the kit gave these cute favors.  

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.  Happy Crafting!

{Disney Day 4} layout with the "You Go Girl" Classic Kit

Hello friends, it's Monday with Meridy.  Today I am sharing a layout I made with my new "You Go Girl" Classic Kit.  Before I even received my kit in the mail, I could tell from the photos of it that it would go wonderfully with my Disneyland photos.  And I was right!  I have already pulled photos for 6 Disneyland layouts to make with this kit...perfection! 

Today's layout was really inspired by a Stuck Sketches sketch, found here (the second sketch in this link).  The layout is of our 4th day in Disneyland, our Alice in Wonderland outfit day.

I started by pulling bits and pieces from the kit that really coordinated with the colors in my photo.  Then I went to the sketch to cut the banner background shape,the washi scallop across the top, and the small embellishment cluster placement on the upper left.

Next, it was time for me to start layering scraps of paper and washi strips under the photo, and pile on the embellishments.

My "day 4" title was a chipboard sticker that read "today", so I trimmed off the "to" part and it was perfect!  Adding embellishments went pretty quickly on this layout because there were so many beautiful ones that really matched the colors in the photo so well.

The butterflies were cut from a patterned paper in the kit, and I popped the wings up with pop dots, to add a little dimension.

I have absolutely LOVED working with this kit and my Disneyland photos this past week, I can't wait to share more of my creations with you over the next few weeks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Key Spouse: You Go Girl Daily Diary Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with my first March layout using the "You Go Girl" daily diary kit.  As a military spouse, we spend a lot of time supporting each other.  We have to.  Or we would go nuts.  Because of this, the military came up with a program called the Key Spouse Program.  Basically it is designated spouses who serve as liaisons between the spouses and the base and squadrons that they are a part of.  I am a key spouse currently and we will be on a new journey soon where I won't be a part of a spouse squadron like we are now, so I won't be a key spouse again for a while.  I wanted to take this time to reflect on it because it's a big part of my life currently.

I pulled a Studio Calico paper from my stash to use as my background.  The 6x6 paper is from the kit and adds a nice pop of pink.  

I used the Thickers form the kit for my title.  A strip of washi tape really helps ground it.  I also used a phone puffy sticker which is fun because as liaisons, we use our phones a lot for making calls, messaging and updating the facebook group constantly.  I thought that was a nice touch.  The blue "Air Force Key Spouse Program" piece is from a pin that we get after we go through our training.

I really like the die cut that says "Let's Do This" but I didn't want the headphones that are on the top.  So I tucked the headphones behind the photo and kept the words and scrolls that I love.

I loved that quote on this card and it really is relevant.  As a military spouse, you have to be strong because it can be difficult at times.

I really love the way this layout turned out.  It's a great memory for and I want to remember this time in our military career.

I hope you're enjoying your March kits!  Please share your layouts in the Facebook group so we can see them!

cousins and best friends

Hello again!

I have one more project to share this week using the So Sweet Daily Diary kit.

This page features one of my kids and her cousin. They are not just cousins but great friends.

I used a 6x6 sheet of patterned paper and a couple of journaling card as the base of my page. I cut the extra part off of the card with the zigzag top and layered the cards and added a couple of strips of washi tape. I cut out some hearts by hand and added the black pen detailing. 

These gold Thicker words were one of my favorite parts of the kit. The "best friends' words were perfect for the theme of my page.

On each of my pages I try to add some handwritten journaling. 

Soon you will start to see projects created using the March kit. 

I can't wait for mine to get here so that I can start creating and sharing with you. 

Have a wonderful day and thank you for visiting Noel Mignon!
