Documenting WK 13 with Vintage Spring DD

Happy Saturday! Danielle here to share with you my latest project using the Vintage Spring Daily Diary Kit

This weeks Design Team assignment was to incorporate "Texture" to your project.

I did this several ways. The first was to use the ribbon that Noel included in this months kit. I chose to ruffle and stitch it to the side of my layout. The other way I added texture was to use the sequins also included in the kit. I created a shaker pocket with a vellum die cut, then stitched it close. I also used my glossy accents to adhere several that I scattered across a photo.

Here are some close ups

Quote Mobile with the Vintage Spring Daily Diary Kit

Sorry everyone, another late night blog post from me.  Tonight I am showing how I used my kit to create a fun little home decor piece with my daily diary kit.  I love the vintage inspired cards in the kit and they really lend themselves with the look and feel in my living room.  I bought this wire mobile over a year ago and it has hung empty in my living room.  After my kit arrived I knew immediately what I wanted to hang from the clips.  Here is what I came up with:

I began by going online and finding some quotes that I really like and then printed these off on photo paper.  I then grabbed the vintage inspired cards and embellishments and went to town.  

Most of the cards I included quotes on both sides of the cards.  The few that are blank use cards with prints on the back.    

It makes a fun addition hanging in my front room corner and it's really nice putting to use my wire mobile.  

What have you been making with this months kits?  We always love to see your work, be sure to post over on the Noel Mignon Facebook Member board.

{Splash Pad} with the "Vintage Spring" Kits

Happy Monday, it's Meridy here today.  I have a layout to share using a combination of the "Vintage Spring" Daily Diary and the "Vintage Spring" Classic Kits.  The beautiful watercolor paper from the classic kit made the perfect background for a page about the splash pad.

I added a few of the Daily Diary cards, some small strips of paper, the packaging from the gold leaf trim, and a few labels to create the layers behind the photos.  But I thought it still needed a little textrue and detail, so I mixed in a couple of pieces of washi tape and outlined each layer with black pen.  I added my journaling, a few phrase stickers, a couple of bug stickers, and some gold heart stickers to dress up the layers.

Next, it was time to work on the title of the layout.  At first I just had the small title that read "Splash Pad" on the bottom left hand side of the layout, but it still looked too plain for my taste.  

So that's when I decided to add a bunch of phrases and stickers describing the experience.  Ultimately, this is what I came up with, and I love the look of the different fonts, stamps, Thickers, and stickers.

Once I added all of these textures and words, my layout finally looked complete.  I love the way it turned out.  Thank you so much for stopping by today!!!  Happy Spring!  I hope you are putting your "Vintage Spring" Kits to good use, I would love to see what you are creating on our Facebook page or Instagram #NoelMignon

Documenting Wk 12 with the Vintage Spring DD Kit

Happy Saturday everyone! Danielle here with another project using the super cute Vintage Spring Daily Diary Kit

 This week I chose to pull out the pops of green that were in this months kit. They add a pop of freshness to some otherwise dreary colour photos (due to weather)

I fussy cut the green butterfly out of one of the Maggie Holmes Flourish papers, and used my stapler to attach it. Another fun element I added was a piece of my sons favourite blue shirt that ripped. I sewed it onto the side of the page for a fun textural element and to bring out another pop of blue from the photos.

 I cut out a 3x4 section of a kraft bag that had a souvenir in it, from a work trip my husband was on. I like how it pulled over the wood tone on to this page, to mimic the "wood" style paper on the other page.

{5th Grade Promotion} with the "Vintage Spring" Kits

Hello!  It's Meridy here today, and I have a layout to share with you using the "Vintage Spring" Daily Diary and Classic kits.  Since this layout is about my daughter, I was able to use lots of the feminine elements from the kits.

I started with the background 12x12 patterned paper, added a strip of patterened paper down the left hand side of the layout, and embellished that seam with some of the gold glitter washi tape.  Next, I added 6x6 layers from the Daily Diary kit.  I even used one of the journal cards as a layer under the smaller photo.

After placing the photos where I wanted them, it was time to add embellishments.  I just loved the pack of floral embellishments that came in this month's kit.  So I pulled a few roses in various colors and started placing them to frame the main photo.  There were a few distractions in the original photo that I didn't want to show up on the layout, so that is why I placed the flowers in this configuration.  

Next, I added the paper rosette with the gold heart, a phrase sticker, and the label sticker stamped with the date.  Finally, it was time for me to go back in and add the greenery and leaves to the flowers.  I just adore the gold leaf trim in the Daily Diary kit, I used it in longer pieces and cut individual leaves from it as well.  It is so beautiful, I can't help using it over and over again.

Finally, I was able to use the beautiful rose gold Thickers and the mini gold letter stickers to create my title, and with that, the layout is complete.  

Thank you for stopping by today!!!  Have a great week!

Vintage Spring - Project Life Wk 11

Happy Saturday!!! Danielle here today to share with you my 2nd project using the Vintage Spring Daily Diary Kit.

This weeks theme is "Spring is in the air". We are having a bit of a late spring where I am from, but I managed to capture the sunrise one morning, showing the snow on the ground. I used the gorgeous rose gold Thickers as part of my title "Where is Spring?"

I also used the super cute puffy bird sticker from the Maggie Holmes Flourish collection as part of the "spring theme" on my project

and here are some close ups

Bloom and Grow with the Vintage Spring Daily Diary Kit

Better late than never today.  It has been a busy week already and it's only Tuesday . . .

Anyway I am here to share a layout using the Vintage Spring Daily Diary kit.   It is our first spring in our house and it has been fun watching different plants start blooming and seeing what the previous owners planted.  I decided to pair pictures of my yard starting to bloom with journaling that reflects my thoughts on my own personal changes right now. 
 I did pull cardstock from last months classic kit and the woodgrain pattern paper from the February kit. 

I started with the white cardstock for my background.  Using some Heidi Swapp gold shimmer mist I put a few gold splatters.

The rest of the picture block is cards and pattern papers I layered from the the kit.  I then tucked in some die cuts and stickers among the layers.  

And there you have it a pretty simple and quick layout documenting a little of me right now. How are you about recording your own personal thoughts and feelings at the moment?  I hope among the holidays, birthdays, and family vacations you are including you. 

Happy Scrapping!

{Eleven} with the "Vintage Spring" Kits

Happy Monday, friends!!!  It's Meridy here today, and the "Vintage Spring" Classic Kit  and Daily Diary Kit naturally scream "SPRINGTIME" to me, and since spring is a time for new beginnings, I decided to scrap another new beginning with these kits this week.  I'm scrapping a picture of my daughter's 11th birthday, which also happens to be 2 days before she started Jr. High.  So these spring images, embellishments, and flowers went prefectly with this photo.

This kit is so beautiful, and all of the Maggie Holmes papers and embellishments make me so happy, so I couldn't wait to use them.  I decided I wanted to use lots of die cuts and pieces of the beautiful gold leaf trim to frame my photo.

I stared with the deer and fussy cut a couple of quail.  We live in the desert, so we see lots of quail (and baby quail) each spring.  Although this page isn't about quail, these icons still work with the layout.

Next, I started layering up a few of the flowers and greenery.  I used pop dots to pop a few things up to add some dimention into the layout.  I spelled out "eleven" with the alphabet stickers and placed it at the bottom of the layout. I didn't want a large title, since there is already so much deatil on this layout, so these small alpha stickers were perfect!

I really liked using the gold leaf trim in whole pieces, as I did in the upper right hand corner of the layout, but I also liked the look of one or two leaves sticking out from under the die cut flowers, it added a little color and texture to the blooms.  

A few strips of washi and paper across the top of the layout and a journaling card tucked into the layers of paper finished off the layout.  Thank you so much for stopping by today!!!  Happy Srping!!!

Vintage Spring Kit - Project Life Wk 9

Hi everyone, Danielle here with my first layout using the 

VINTAGE SPRING DAILY DIARY KIT

I was so excited to break into this kit when it arrived! Noel packed it full of Maggie Holmes Flourish goodies!! I used the washi from the collection as a tab on my photo, and also on other cards. It added nice little pops of black throughout the spread.

I love the pops of rose gold on the Thickers, and on the stickers.

here is a close up
