{Time for a Swim} Layout with the "Big Splash" Classic Kit

Hello friends!  Now that summer is in full swing, I am so excited to be working with "The Big Splash" Classic Kit.  I think there are still 2 more of these amazing kits available in the store.  I'm so sad that this will be Noel's final kit, but I'm going to make the most of it!!!

I absolutely loved the "Marco Polo" paper in this kit, and knew I wanted to use it right away!!!  So it became the background paper of the first layout I made with the kit.  I pulled the light blue from the water on the paper and matted it on light blue paper.  

I wanted to pull out the red, black, and gold color on the paper too.  So that's how I chose the papers to use in the layers behind the photos.  The ombre gold ribbon in the kit was so beautiful, I added a strip down the left hand side of the layout.  I layered the ribbon with a couple of border punch strips with inked edges to add a little more texture to the layout.

Next, it was time for me to add a title.  I really wanted to use the pink Thickers that came in the kit, but when I had the whole page completed, the pink looked a bit off to me.  So I colored right over the pink with a red sharpie for a perfectly matching title.

All 3 of the embellishment clusters contained a stamped phrase on yellow paper, some enamel dots, and a puffy sticker from the kit.  I also threw in some stickers, a chipboard sticker, and the date using the glitter alphabet stickers. 

I really loved working with these supplies from the kit and using a bit of an eclectic and unique color scheme for swimming photos.  Thanks for stopping by today!

{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!!!

Mad about Plaid

It's a cold day here in west Texas, a perfect day to cuddle up under a warm blanket in front of a toasty fire. But, since that isn't on the agenda for today I might settle for some hot chocolate and catching up on the blog here ☺

Today I am sharing my first project created with the Home Sweet Home Classic kit, and since it's Plaid week here at Noel Mignon, I have a plaid layout to share with you. This kit is still available in the shop so head on over to purchase yours!

I started out with a corner piece of this fantastic plaid paper. This sheet is one that caught my eye when I first went through my kit. I know it might seem weird but when I go through the papers I stack together the ones that I like the most and make sure to use those on my projects. This was one of my favorites. I then added some strips of other patterned papers and a piece of the ribbon from the kit. 

Can I share a tip? Since the patterned paper isn't wide enough for the paper strips to go all the way across the paper diagonally I simply cut them in half since the middle would be hidden by the photo anyway.

I added lots of chipboard pieces and some of those cute rub-ons along with a mix of the alphas and word stickers in the kit. 

Have a fantastic day!
