Quiet Time: Apple Crisp Classic Kit

Hi!  Sarah here with this week's layout and challenge.  This week we are using Pinterest for inspiration.  We each made a Pinterest board and used it as inspiration for a layout.  Here is a screenshot of my board.

Here is the link for the full board.

My board and my layout have an Outlander theme...because Outlander...  

Ok, technically it's about what I like to do for my down time, but we all know it's really about sneaking Jamie Fraser into my scrapbooks.  I like to get my girls in bed and get my house settled and quiet.  Then I make myself a mug of hot tea, light a candle and turn on a fantastic TV show that I love.  In this case, it's Outlander.  I pinned some greens and browns in my board so I used the papers to play off of that. 

I also pinned some mason jars and the paper with the mason jars and flowers were perfect to tie that in.  I used a few die cuts to kind of make a collage type of design around my title.

I also pinned some cork items to my board and had some cork in my stash that I wanted to use.  It was great to use it up and add some good fall-themed texture.

I loved using this month's kit and it has helped me get into the fall spirit!

{House of Mirrors} with the "Vintage Charm" Classic Kit

Happy Monday!  It's Meridy here with my first layout using the "Vintage Charm" Classic Kit.  I believe there are a few of these kits still left in the store this week!  This kit is packed with colorful papers and a ton of different embellishments.  So head over there and pick one up for yourself!!!

I started working with this kit by pulling a single photo that I had of my kids exploring a House of Mirrors.

I layered quite a few pieces of paper to create the background of my layout.  The colors in the papers all matched my photo, so it was easy to incorporate them on the background. I couldn't wait to use the Jen Hadfield gold glittered scalloped tape---so I placed a strip of that across the top portion of the page. 

Next I added a few different branding strips to the right side of my photo.  I always like to utilize branding strips on my layouts, they are already cut and they add a little more variety to the papers. Along side the branding strips I placed one of the Maggie Holmes crepe paper ribbon embellishments.  I included a few of the We R memory Keepers stickers and finished this area off with a journaling card and a date stamp.

Then I created my title, I used the yellow circle frame that came in the kit.  I pulled in a somewhat reflective piece of gold cardstock, to mimic the look of a mirror and use that behind the frame.  I decided to place my title right across this "mirror" using both sets of alphabet stickers that came in the kit. 

I finished off the top left of the layout with a We R Memory Keepers painted wood veneer, a Jillibean Soup wood veneer, and a few We R Memory Keepers stickers.  Finally, I scattered a few sequins (from my stash) across the layout for a finishing touch.

I would love to see what you are creating with your Vintage Charm kits on our Noel Mignon Members Facebook page.  Check back every day this week to see what else our design team creates!

Have a good week!
