{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!

{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!!!

{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.

Welcome spring

Hello again!

It's always great to be here to share projects with you that I make using Noel's kits.

The You Go Girl kits are gorgeous- and if you think so, you should see the kits for April. They are so beautiful. You will love them ♥

Anyway, for my project today I decided to create a piece of home decor using bits from both of the You Go Girl kits:

I started with this wooden piece from Jillibean Soup Mix the Media that I found at my local Walmart store.

I cut some flowers out of cardstock using my Silhouette diecutting machine and then covered those with patterned paper from the kits. I also cut the word "welcome" to use on this project. I layered the diecut flowers with Prima paper flowers found in both of the in the kits this month.

The butterflies are from a sheet of patterned paper in the Classic kit. I simply cut around them and glued them onto the project.

I finished off this simple project with a strip of gold scalloped washi tape from the washi book included in the kit. 

Thanks for stopping by Noel Mignon today ♥

{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!!!

I have a 13 year old?

Hello!

It's Becky here with you to share a new Noel Mignon kit project.

I know that you're not used to seeing me on Wednesdays, but here I am!

I am filling in for one of our other designers today and have a project to share using the cute She's Crafty Classic Kit. 

The focal point of this page is the picture of my oldest daughter, now a teenager. 

How does the time go by so quickly? 

I drew attention to the photo with some handcut flowers from a piece of patterned paper in the kit as well as a pretty bow from the satin ribbon also in the kit. 

I used a couple of rub-on butterflies. I love the rub-ons in this kit. They are super smooth and easy to use. 

Yes, I know that this picture has a little something extra in it, a little something fuzzy, ha ha. 

We got a new kitty last month and he likes to be where we are. 

That's real life for ya ☺

He just wanted to make sure that you noticed the bow, ha ha. 

I used a couple of strips of patterned paper- I liked how the black and white print contrasted nicely with the colors on the flowers. I added enamel dots to many of the flowers on my page and finished it off with a title using the chipboard Thickers in the kit. 

Have a wonderful day!
