{San Diego} Layout with the "Enjoy the Journey" Classic Kit

Hello friends, it's Meridy here today, I have a layout to share using the "Enjoy the Journey" Classic Kit.  I had a fairly dark photo that I wanted to use on this layout, therefore, I knew I needed to brighten the page up by using some brighter papers. So I used this beautiful ticket paper from this month's kit as my background. 

I wanted to add some memorabilia from our hotel, so I made a little pocket envelope from the same paper that I matted the layout on.  I added an embellishment cluster on top of the pocket.  I used some of the puffy stickers, some washi tape, the "adventure" ephemera card, a car clip, and a few stamped sentiments to get a good variety of embellishments.

Next, it was time to add my title.  I used the pretty glittery Thickers from this month's kit and grounded them on a small map die cut.  I added a couple more black puffy stickers, and a few more stamps, and my title area was complete.

That wraps up my layout for today, thank you so much for stopping by!!!

{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

{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!

{Disneyland Day 2} with the "You Go Girl" Classic Kit

Hello friends, it's finally SPRING!!!!  And I'm super excited to get BOTH of the "Vintage Spring" Kits next month.  If you have not seen them yet, you should go check them out.  Until then, I have one more layout to share with you using the "You Go Girl" Classic Kit.  I really enjoyed scrapping quite a few Disneyland layouts with this kit, and the layout I'm sharing today is no exception...

I started with the frame background paper, built up my layers for my photo mat and then started adding scraps of paper, chipoard stickers, and pieces of washi tape in the frames to fill them up.

Once I felt like the background was complete, I went to work adding my title "California Adventure" with the beautiful Thickers that came in this month's kit.

Next, I worked on an embellishment cluster for the top right hand side of the layout to balance out the title area.  I used chipboard stickers, ephemera die cuts, the double sided tassles, and a flower for this embellishment cluster.  I added the subtitle "Day #2" in the same Thickers I used for the main title.

And that wraps up my layout for today!  Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a great week.

Unicorns Exist with the You Go Girl Classic Kit

Happy Tuesday!  I have really enjoyed creating with this months kit and have made quite a few fun projects.  I decided though to make an actual scrapbook page this week.  A few of the products in the kit reminded me of a few cakes I have made lately at my new job and I thought it would be fun to document the trend of unicorns that seems to be making an appearance everywhere. 

I started with my title.  I used a combination of chipboard stickers and a Silhouette machine cut.  I then backed this with pattern paper and a tag. 

I then started layering my photos and pattern paper strips on the bottom.  Placing a few bits of washi tape down and tucked in the date. 

Once I had placed all my elements I began to embellish with rubons, chipboard stickers, and a rhinestone brad to dot the "i" in my title. 

I decided the left hand side needed something so I took a couple of pattern papers and placed them along the side and topped the corner with an old photo corner from my stash. 

I love how all the colors and supplies work in this months kit and it was fun to use a feminine color palette.  What are you making with this months kit?  Be sure to share with us over on the Noel Mignon Member Facebook group. 

Happy Crafting!

{Meeting Belle} Layout with the "You Go Girl" Classic Kit

Hello, it's Meridy here, and I have another Disney layout to share with you using the "You Go Girl" Classic Kit.  I loved the butterfly paper that came in the kit, and I immediately knew I wanted to fussy cut the butterflies from the paper.  So that's what I did for today's layout.

I popped the butterfly wing up with small pop dots to add dimention.  Naturally, the butterflies are the focal point of ths layout but I also used a couple of layers layered some cardstock with packaging from the embellishments.  I used a piece of the gold washi to seperate the patterned paper on the top portion of the layout from the bottom portion of cardstock.

I stamped the journaling lines right onto the layout and added a few phrase stickers around the photo.

I created my title with a stamped tag I made and the mini alphabet stickers from last month's kit.  I used some stickers and a small strip of the bow washi from the kit to embellish my title.

The layout itself is really fairly simple, since the butterflies add such a punch.  Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

Teacher Gifts with the You Go Girl Classic Kit

Happy Tuesday all!  I hope you are having a great week.  Can you believe we are already six days into March.  I have been helping put together items for my ladies group at church next week.  One of the tables at our upcoming party is themed in pencils to go along with a story.  I found these cute pencils on Pinterest and knew they would be perfect for our favors.  As I was going through the kit this month all the colors and materials jumped out and I knew they would work perfectly for putting these favors together. 

For anyone needing thank you gifts for teachers I am throwing this out in plenty of time to make a few up.  We know the end of school will be here before we know it.   :)

The base is Rolo candy topped with a Hershey Kiss.  

I started with cardstock and used a bone folder to score every 1/2 inch along the length.  Once scored I folded along the score lines and hot glued it around the rolos.

For the pencils eraser I cut pink cardstock and hot glued the strip along the top.

I finished the pencils off with a little place to leave a note.  These frames are cut from the pattern paper in the kit and then glued to ribbon and topped with the gorgeous paper flowers in the kit.  

Once the ribbons were glued on to each pencil I covered it with the metallic washi tape in the kit to mimic the metal on the tops of wooden pencils.  

I love how these turned out and the beautiful feminine touches items from the kit gave these cute favors.  

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.  Happy Crafting!

{Disney Day 4} layout with the "You Go Girl" Classic Kit

Hello friends, it's Monday with Meridy.  Today I am sharing a layout I made with my new "You Go Girl" Classic Kit.  Before I even received my kit in the mail, I could tell from the photos of it that it would go wonderfully with my Disneyland photos.  And I was right!  I have already pulled photos for 6 Disneyland layouts to make with this kit...perfection! 

Today's layout was really inspired by a Stuck Sketches sketch, found here (the second sketch in this link).  The layout is of our 4th day in Disneyland, our Alice in Wonderland outfit day.

I started by pulling bits and pieces from the kit that really coordinated with the colors in my photo.  Then I went to the sketch to cut the banner background shape,the washi scallop across the top, and the small embellishment cluster placement on the upper left.

Next, it was time for me to start layering scraps of paper and washi strips under the photo, and pile on the embellishments.

My "day 4" title was a chipboard sticker that read "today", so I trimmed off the "to" part and it was perfect!  Adding embellishments went pretty quickly on this layout because there were so many beautiful ones that really matched the colors in the photo so well.

The butterflies were cut from a patterned paper in the kit, and I popped the wings up with pop dots, to add a little dimension.

I have absolutely LOVED working with this kit and my Disneyland photos this past week, I can't wait to share more of my creations with you over the next few weeks.

Thanks for stopping by!

{Sweetie} Layout with the "So Sweet" Daily Diary Kit

Hello Friends!  It's Meridy with you today, and I'm sharing a Sweet layout using the "So Sweet" Daily Diary and Paper Add-On kits.  These papers and embellishments lent themselves to the photos I had taken of my kids for Valentine's Day this year, the pinks and light aqua blue were the perfect match!

I started by layering a few scraps that I had left from the kit, and cut some strips of the doily print paper to add to the layers.  Once I had my layers and photo in place, I decided I wanted to add ALL the flowers to the layout!

I started by fussy cutting a couple of flower bunches from the patterned paper to use as an anchor for the more delicate flowers.

Next, I went to work layering the paper flowers, sticker flowers, epoxy hearts, a heart charm, a few heart stickers, and some of the phrase stickers from the kit.  Once I got the cluster how I wanted it, I did a very similar design on the opposite side of the photo.

I finished the layout off with a strip of washi tape to anchor the Thickers word "Sweetie" and added the date with a date stamp.

Have you been able to scrap some Valentine's photos this month with your kit?  I would love to see on Instagram #NoelMignon.  Have a great week!!!
