Falling Leaves Challenge

Hi There, Lynn here wrapping up our Fall Crop week over on our Facebook Members Page! Hope you've had fun - we LOVE seeing your projects based on our challenges - keep them coming! My challenge for you today is to use a leaf in some form on your project. This could be leaf paper, leaf ribbon or leaf shapes. I created a Project Life page and incorporated leaves that I cut from Pink Paislee's Cedar Lane paper from this month's Blue Moon Classic Kit. The PL cards are from October's Blue Moon Daily Diary Kit. Here's my page ... I apologize for my photo quality - I need a new CF card reader so these were taken with my iphone late yesterday after work :(

I added leaves as embellishments to several of the cards - including my title card.

It's hard to see but the leaves have yellow stickers on them that say "WK 40". Here's another card where I layered some leaves as an embellishment.

I created a few shaker pockets with my Fuse Tool around this 4x4 card which also has lots of fussy cut leaves as a border.

So, lets see how you incorporate leaves on your project. Please upload them to the "Falling Leaves" album on the Noel Mignon Facebook Members Page. Thanks so much for playing along with us this week and keep those projects coming!!

 

recipe challenge

Hey guys, Michelle here! We're nearing the end of our Fall Crop week and I have a recipe challenge for you. I love to bake so when fall rolls around with its cooler temps I'm in heaven because I can fire up my oven and whip up some yummy treats!! And my favorite ones go in my recipe book. 

I like to use a 6x8 Project Life album because it's a nice size to have on my counter while I'm baking and I have the option of using a full 6x8 pocket page like this page for larger recipes and the 4x6 size for smaller ones.

Sometimes I include a photo in my album, sometimes not. This recipe deserved a photo since these cookies are ridiculously good!!! I printed out the recipe on patterned paper from the Blue Moon kit (excuse the typo) and used some embellies from the kit. I don't go all crazy with decorating these pages. Afterall, they will get a lot of love over the years (i.e. food splatters on them!)

So the challenge for you croppers is to scrap your favorite recipe, food, place to eat, whatever! You could do a pocket style page, traditional layout, or even a recipe card!

Upload your challenge project to the "Recipe Challenge" album on the Noel Mignon facebook group page here.

And here is the link to the pumpkin snickerdoodles in my layout. If you love pumpkin and snickerdoodles you must try this recipe!! I've already made them twice and now that I've done this post I might have to make them again today ;)

Hayride!: NoelMignon Natural Elements Layout Challenge

Hello!
Michelle Zerull here this morning with a new challenge! As you recall, this is our Fall Crop week, so be sure to check out our Facebook NoelMignon Members Group to see how you can win PRIZES!

This morning the challenge is "Hayride".....
I would like for you to incorporate a Natural Element into your layout. If you haven't been on a hayride for awhile (neither have I!), you can use another subject. That's what I did.
Here's some ideas of things that you can use...
Leaves, Bark, Twigs, Cork, Moss, Burlap, Straw, Wood, Cotton, or any other natural element that you can think of.

For my Pocket Page Layout, I used this month's Blue Moon Daily Diary Kit, as well Natural Elements. Elements with a lot of texture make a large statement, so I kept my pockets simple.

Here's a tip for using moss:

Using a white glue that dries clear, apply the moss to Freezer Paper and let dry completely overnight. (Smoosh lots of moss down on the paper!) When the glue is dry, you will be able to cut shapes from the freezer paper with regular scissors.

Share your project with us on our Facebook Page. We are looking forward to seeing what you create!
