One last Thursday with Kimberly! :)

Hello to all my favorite Noel Mignon friends! 

I just want to say how much I have LOVED every single month designing with Noel's AMAZING kits...and it's even better to have an AWESOME fun loving team to work with month after month! 

This has been one fun journey that has kept my JOY in this fun craft growing, and I am so thankful to Noel and all of the great wonderful people on the boards! It's been totally a great experience/bonding with great people! 

All of the changes to the site have been smooth and so great too...LOVE! 

I know you all will enjoy the new Team Noel has in store for you all...they too are my friends and super inspiring also! 

I have one last layout to share with you all using products from the June kit Summer Winds

I LOVED working with this kit...and it is loaded to the max with ALL of my personal favorites! 

I added a few little extra's to this from my stash of goodies from Greatest View products...as I was their June Guest Designer. It was fun to be able to incorporate This kit with their products as well. 

Sometimes it's fun to use one photograph repetitively on a page. For this layout, I used one photograph with different effect applied to each one, and made it an enlarged banner strip down the right side of the enlarged photograph. I really love how this all came together. 

Thanks so much for having me...and I will look forward to staying in touch with all of my friends I've made here and will continue to treasure! 

Ciao for now...

Loves,

Thursday with Kimberly *Summer Wind kit*

 Hello to all my favorite NM fans! 

I hope you all are having a wonderful Thursday! :) 

I'm here to share some fun with Summer Wind's Kit

Here are some close up's too!

I really LOVE playing with the doilies...such a great size to work with. I scrunched it in the middle and tied it with some of the twine in the kit, Then added the ribbon and button for an additional embellishment. :)

I love the stamps in this kit too. I used the paint dauber in the kit with the stamp and overlapped it once it was dry. It's also fun to stamp it a couple of times overlapping over the word for another interesting look. :)

 This layout was my layout for the challenge we did with Scrappin with Music. I loved doing that and this idea. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Father's Day cards with Summer Winds...

Hello to all my favorite peeps! ;)

Since Father's Day is this weekend, I thought I'd share with you a few cards I made to honor the wonderful men in my and my children's lives!
I used products from June's Summer Winds kit...which again, is another FABULOUS kit that Noel put together! :)

I decided to use Kraft paper for the background of all of these cards. I felt it helps give a masculine touch when adding fun things like, pink and flower embellishments right? :)

Often times I don't want to spend time trying to figure out something to do for cards, so I go on over to Pinterest and check out sketched for cards or just comb through the font page to find something that inspires me. :)

I found this fun sketch that Hero Arts put up, and it had 3 card sketches...PERFECT right? Just what I needed! I made a few little changes, but over all, these were what inspired me for the cards I created. :)

Here's another fun one that I didn't do, but maybe will be inspiring to you. I still may do it too! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day weekend this coming Sunday!

May Jack and Jill kit

Added Supplies for this layout: Vintage Pennants, Vintage Market tape, Handmade layer cut out's, Trinket Pins (these are actually in the kit),

This layout is a layout for Got Sketch Express 3 class that is going on right now too. I love how I get to share my Noel Mignon kits with fun sketch classes as well! :) 

These little Mini Kraft Alpha's are so much fun too!...and I just LOVE these fun Flair Girl buttons!

I LOVE a good team up PLUS challenge! :)

 Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a FANTASTIC week! xx :)
As you all know, we've done a team up with Got Sketch team with one of their sketches. The kicker to this fun team up, is that there is a challenge and a chance to win a $20 GC to Noel Mignon's store! Woop! AWESOME right? Come play! Click here to find out how you can participate in on all the fun! Plus, see how everyone else used this FABULOUS sketch to create their beautiful layouts too! :)

I LOVE sketches...and the first thing I do when I print my sketch out, is turn it in different directions to see if I can make it work in different unique ways. This always gets my crafting juices revved up and ready to get started. I so LOVE the paper doll with our Jack and Jill kit, that I had to find a way to slip her into my project too...she's so CUTE right? It seemed very fitting for this layout, with Olivia reading to this sweet little girl.

I cut the scallop border to slide my pictures into it for a fun effect.

Here are a few detailed shots of what I created.

May -Jack and Jill kit is a total MUST have with all the GORGEOUS elements and papers! LOVE it! 

Sketch for the challenge...Click here

Have fun! I can't wait to see what everyone created for this sketch challenge! 

Thanks for playing!

Thursday with Kimberly...

Hello to all my favorite crafters!

Kimberly here to share some more Cabin Fever Love! :)

I'm so in LOVE with this kit! I can't get enough of all the goodies in it!

Today I want to share a layout I created using the kit with a few little extra's from

Elle's Studio. We have some great Elle's Studio products in this kit too that work so perfectly with all the papers. Loving all the blues and kraft colors!

I used a small circle punch and pop dots for the smaller circles around the page for some dimension. I took a q-tip and sprayed it with the Mister Huey Dewey and highlighted the #4 on the calendar, which was the date the picture was taken.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have fun working with this kit and trying fun and new things! :)
