Two "Adventurous" Layouts using the {Let's Get Lost} Classic Kit

Hello Noel Mignon Friends!!!  This week the design team is working with the "Let's Get Lost" kits and creating "adventurous" layouts.  I am working with the Classic Kit. 

Today I'm sharing 2 layouts of pictures of my son back from 2011.  We were playing and fishing in the mountains.  I have quite a few layouts from this day, and I have so many pictures, so I didn't need to include jounaling on every single layout.  But I did want to try to fit as many pictures as possible on a few pages.  The "Let's Get Lost Kit" was perfect for these photos, this is what I came up with...

For this first layout, I used the Fancy Pants "Teal Dot" paper as the background.  I only used one more scrap of patterned paper on this layout, the chevron patterned paper by Pink Paislee.

I used a combination of an arrow stamp with blue ink,  a "+" stencil with watercolors, and some of the Heidi Swap "Ocean" Color Shine splattered on the Teal Dot background paper to create an interesting canvas.  I also used a little white acrylic paing under my title and the date to allow those to pop and not get lost in the background.  

I created my title with a combination of the glitter Thickers and a few stamps from my stash.  I added a few cork stickers to the title as well. 

I used one of the flair pieces and a cork sticker from this month's kit to embellish the 4x6 photo on the page. 

I used the canvas banner, a date stamp, another cork piece, and one of the glitter Thickers to embellish the bottom corner of my layout.  

The second "adventurous" layout that I made with the Let's Get Lost Kit is also packed with photos.  I used a "We R Memory Keepers" patterned paper as my background, and matted the entire layout on another "We R Memory Keepers" paper.

Again, I had so many photos, that I didn't need to use much more than a few scraps of the patterned papers from the kit.  I did pull the green gingham scraps from an older Noel Mignon kit. I matted all of the photos with the Kraft paper that came in this month's kit.

I used a glitter Thicker's phrase for my title "Let's Go!".

I fussy cut a few shapes from some various patterned papers in this month's kit to create embellishmnets.  I loved the Bingo card that came in the kit, so I made sure to use it here too!  My favorite part of this layout was when I realized our city "Tucson" was on the map paper!!!  It was very close to the edge but I HAD to stitch a little red heart around it.  It still looked a little bit lost, so I added some blue ink all around the heart to bring a little more attention to it.  I absolutely love this little area of the page! You can see the heart in the photo below.

Thank you so much for visiting today!  Check back on the blog all week to see other "adventurous" layouts by the rest of our creative design team.  We would love to see your work on Instagram #NoelMignon

{This Boy Loves an Adventure} with the "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit

Hello all!  It's Meridy here.  Today I'm sharing a double page layout using the "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit.  This kit is one of my favorites!  I love the bold colors and the blues throughout the kit.  I believe there is still ONE more of these kits in the store as of this morning.  

I pulled out some photos from 2011 to use with this kit, and unlike most of my layouts, I only used one piece of patterned paper! But I also managed to fit 13 photos on this layout! 

I did use lots of scraps of cardstock from my scrap bin to build up the layers.  I choose the colors based on the colors of the paddle paper.  These colors were also in my photos, so it worked out great!

I actually fussy cut a couple of designs from another sheet of patterned paper.  The blue embellishments that read "so loving this" and "let's be adventurous" came from one of the WeRMemory Keepers papers from this month's kit.  I paired them with a few puffy stickers, some glitter foam stars, a touch of washi, and some cork stickers from the kit to create some embellishment clusters.  

The letter stickers I used are from my stash, I thought I needed the blue in there to make the title stand out against the busy background paper and photos.  

I finished off the layout by adding a few more embellishments from the kit to the strip of photos that runs across the bottom of the left side of the layout.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  I would love to see what you are creating with your Noel Mignon kit either on our Members Facebook Page or on Instagram #NoelMignon

See you later!!!

Smile! It's Picture Perfect with the "Happy Days" Classic Kit

Hello Lynn here with my first layout using this month's "Happy Days" Classic Kit. There are still some of these gorgeous kits left so grab one quick - it's loaded with product perfect for your photos!! Our challenge this week is "Picture Perfect". We are using a camera, film or instagram motif somewhere on our page. Luckily this is quite easy with this month's kit - lots of options!!

Here's my page. My Mom's neighbor took these photos last week of my Mom and Dad enjoying the outdoors which is difficult for my Dad with his limitations - so this layout means alot to me!!

I used papers from Simple Stories "Life in Color" for this page. I recently made three cards from this collection as well so I was excited to see the full sized papers and embellies from this collection. 

I knew when I saw the paper with the camera and quote exactly what I wanted to create. Here's some close ups.

I clustered chipboard, enamel dots and stickers around the photos.

I added some word phrases on the camera as a final touch! 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great week. I'll be back next week with another layout using this month's kit!!
