{Christmas Eve Traditions} with the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit

Happy Day After Christmas!  I hope you are all relaxing and enjoying your family and gifts.  Hopefully you got some scrappy gifts!  I'm sharing a layout of our Christmas Eve traditions, using the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit...

I enjoyed creating this title space with the various alpha stickers, stamps, and the "santa's coming" label sticker from the kit.  

I had lots of pictures to use on this layout and 3 different traditions that I wanted to document.  So I decided to use the red glitter Thickers that came in this month's kit to number the different traditions, then describe them in the journaling space on the right hand side of the layout.

I used various embellishments to fill in areas around the photos with small clusters for a little added interest.  I also used some branding strips to ground the bottom of the page.

I finished off the layout with the red Studio Calico color mist spray from the kit sprinkled with a few of the gold Heidi Swapp sequins.  Thank you for stopping by today!!!  I would love to see some of your creations with the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit over at our Noel Mignon members FB page.

journey of a mini album with september's daily diary kit.

This month, I fell so in LOVE with the Daily Dairy kit.  I know, they are all fabulous and jam packed with absolute gorgeous product.  When I opened my kit I literally was in awe over every single piece.  So, when I was deciding what to create with this kit I knew I wanted a project to showcase all of the incredible pieces.  So I chose to use this months kit to create a super fun 6x8 mini album! Today I want to share the first few pages with you all.

I created my opening page with some of the gorgeous cards that come with the kit.  The 12x12 Crate Paper has so many fun cut outs and cards.  It really is amazing how much you can get out of one sheet of paper.  I chose 2 cards ('hello' and 'be brave') and then added some fun instax photos, stickers and matted my photos with the gorgeous foiled arrow paper from My Minds Eye. It's such a gorgeous collection!  I love the hot pink word strip stickers from Studio Calico that came with this kit.  They are the best! I am obsessed and want to put them on everything.

Awesome phrases, super fun colour and there are a ton to use!  I also embellished with the super adorable puffy stickers that come with the kit as well. I love them...and actually just want to hoard them! Ha!

This page came together in no time at all.  I love how the kit contents work so beautifully together.  The touches of gold foil, just make my heart happy!

On my next page, I added more photos and then used some of the pattern papers to create my own 3x4 cards.  I love the 6x6 pattern papers that are included in the Daily Diary kits because they are perfect for this reason.  So easy to trim down and add in 3x4 cards where needed.

I even added some layers and machine stitching to one card, and a simple sticker to the other.

This "3" card is actually from the Studio Calico word sticker packaging.  I love it and had to include it in my album with some journaling.  It was too perfect, and who doesn't love to use every little bit of stuff that they can when compiling a mini album?  The super cute 'cherish' Heidi Swapp fabric tab could not be left out so I attached it with my tiny attacher to the top of the card.  Added some journaling and voila! Custom page.

To cover the back of the card I just adhered some gorgeous pattern paper from the kit.

My last page that I am sharing is this really fun grid pocket page.  First, I adore the 2x2 size and it really is such a fabulous addition to my mini.  Not only can I add in a ton of photos, but I can also add in tons of bits of pattern paper to really make it pop.  I love the options here and it is such a great way to also use off cuts and scraps from the kits.

I love all the enamel stickers/dots that were included in this months kit.  They are so fun to add as embellishments and give just the perfect dimension in projects and on pages.

I hope you have enjoyed this first little sneak peek inside look into my mini album using the September Daily Diary kit.  I cannot wait to share more pages with you in the next couple of weeks.  It will be amazing to see just how much one kit can create.  Noel Mignon kits are seriously the best. :)

Halloween fun times

It is hard to believe that Halloween is almost here! 

Can you believe how quickly this year is flying? 

Today I have a fun Halloween-ish page to share with you that I made using the "Early Autumn" kit. This picture wasn't taken on Halloween but instead at a Halloween display at a local home store. I just couldn't resist taking this picture of my daughter and then scrapping it with this fun kit. She is normally pretty reserved so it was fun to capture this moment with her. 

I started off with a white carstock background. I trimmed 1/4" from each side of the white and then mounted that on a sheet of orange cardstock from the kit. I added some blue and green Heidi Swapp Color Shine mist. 

 

To create this background I just dipped a small paintbrush into the bottle of Studio Calico Mister Huey spray mist from the kit. I then added some more splatters with Mister Huey Dewey. After the ink was dry I added my title using a mix of the Thickers, alpha stickers and rub-ons from the kit. I also added a couple of October Afternoon enamel stars. 

I have never done this before but liked the look of the sheet of brads- don't they look like a strip of candy dots? I thought so and since I tend to not use all of my brads and they pile up in my stash I decided to use the entire sheet of Chickaniddy brads on my page. I just added some foam adhesive dots to the back. I used foam adhesive on back of the picture and strip of star paper as well to add some dimension to my page. 

I also used lots of little stickers here and there and finished it off with handwritten journaling around the edge of the layout.
