Monkey Bars - 1, Addie - 0

Hey all! I'm back with a couple pages from the Spring Fling Daily Diary kit along with some elements from the Let's Get Lost Kits. And since my daughter broke her arm last week I thought it fitting to do a couple pages on that!

I started with a main page using patterned paper from the Let's Get Lost Classic kit and paired it with elements from the Spring Fling Daily Diary kit. I thought the "You Are Brave" pennant banner from the Let's Get Lost kit (Daily Diary kit I believe) was fitting for this page.

I also created a pocket page to go along with it with additional photos using the Spring Fling Daily Diary Kit. The colors of the kit matched perfectly with Addie's new cast ;)

The Grand Canyon: April's "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit

Hey guys!  Sarah here with my last layout using the Let's Get Lost classic kit.  I really wanted to redo a layout that I made a long time ago.  During a cross-country military move, we were driving from California to Florida and decided to make a few pit stops.  One of them was The Grand Canyon.

I really wanted to use that Pink Paislee mountain scene paper since it really resembled the Grand Canyon to me.  Since I didn't want to cover it up too much, I used 3x3 photos and minimal embellishments.

I used a few papers leftover from other layouts and layered them up, using some Tim Holtz Distress Ink to bring them together (not included in kit).  I also used some Heidi Swapp Colorshine in Ocean all around both sides of the layout.

For the embellishing, I used a few stickers from We R Memory Keepers which had the blue tones I was looking for.  I also love the Pink Paislee puffy heart sticker that has the same mountain pattern as the opposite paper.  I adds a perfect echo of pattern to help bring the two sides together.

I used some of the teal cardstock to matte my photos.  For the "Under the Stars" theme for this week...I used a few gold glitter stars from the Thickers pack.  I cut out a heart from the Shimelle patterned paper which had the perfect colors in them.

To finish off, I added a few stickers and echoed the pink woodgrain banner from the other side of the layout.  And the WRMK sticker that says "Life is a GRAND Adventure" was just too good...right?

Thanks so much for joining me today!  Have you ever looked back on a layout and wanted to redo it?  Don't be afraid to go for it!

Game Day

Hey all! Are you all having fun playing with the Let's Get Lost kits?? They're pretty amazing! Today I'm sharing a simple & clean layout from my daughter's first tball game along with a coordinating pocket page. Oh my gosh, these little ones playing ball are the cutest!!

I was inspired by this layout that I found on Pinterest & used the mountain papers in the kit to create a similar design. Not only do I like those little mountains but it's fitting since I live in the PNW :)

After that I took a Project Life pocket page (design A) and cut it in half vertically so I was left with 2-4x6 slots and 2-3x4 slots. I used that for the few extra photos I had from that day. I could have created a 2 page spread but I like doing this because it adds visual interest to my scrapbooks when you're flipping through the album and there's different sized pages. 

I used cards from the daily diary kit along with more alphas from the classic kit. You can see I also added one of those tab stickers along the side of my pocket page.

Note: the chipboard alphas from the classic kit are not very sticky (like most thickers). Make sure that you secure them somehow, either with stitching like I have on these pages or with a thin line glue stick (I like the one from Stampin' Up!). Otherwise you'll find a mix of alphas at the bottom of your page protector!

Arches National Park with the Let's Get Lost Kits

Hello everyone!  Nicole here today to share with you something that hardly every happens - a double page layout.  I used both the daily diary and classic kit to put together this two page spread and I'm really loving the results. 

I started with the pattern paper.  I had two pieces of the map pattern paper and chose this for the majority of the background.  I then cut strips and placed them on both sides of my spread creating framing in my pictures. 

I then started my title.  I paired the thickers with a silhouette cut to spell out my title.  I also cut the iconic delicate arch from the same pattern paper and placed them all together.  I finished embellishing with the cork/puffy stickers. 

My journaling I ended up printing out on vellum so I wouldn't have to cover up the pattern paper. 

The second page I kept simple and added a small cluster with the date and three of the Queen and Co. lollies.  My last touch to tie the two pages together was by running a piece of washi tape along the top of the spread. 

I really love the way this turned out and really need to try and do double spreads more often - love how many photos I used!  Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.  Happy Scrapping :)

{Camp Cookout} with the "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit

 Hello friends!!!  It's Meridy here, I have a double page layout using the "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit today.  I choose some camping pictures from 2011 for my "Camp Cookout" layout.

I choose pictures that coordinated well with the mountain paper in this month's kit, then pulled a few more sheets of coordinating patterned paper from the kit to compliment those pictures. 

I was able to fit 6 photos on this layout, and still have lots of room to play with embellishments, add some journaling, and add a title.

I cut apart a "camp" die cut that came in my kit and made it into a little banner to create my "Camp Cookout" title.  I dressed it up with the deer flair, a cork sticker, a tag, and a puffy sticker from the kit.  I added a few sequins from my stash to give the title area a little more interest.

I treated my journaling area the same as my title, repeating the same elements so that the layout and embellishmnets flow from one page to the next.  I used the cute stamp that came in this month's kit for my journaling block.

Finally, I made a third embellishment cluster with the same elements that were in the title and journaling areas.  This formed a visual triangle across the entire layout.  I felt like the layout needed a little more "grounding" so I punched some starburst circles from a Martha Stewart punch I have and placed them to look like scallops across the bottom of the layout.  

That wraps up my layout for today!  Thank you for stopping by!  I would love to see your work on Instagram #NoelMignon.

Have a great day!

Hitting the Slopes: April "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit

Hey guys!  Sarah here with a very old picture of myself with my family when we were living overseas.  My father was in the military and we lived in Europe for a few years.  While there, we took advantage of where we were and did some traveling.  One thing we did almost every year was go on a group trip to Austria to do some skiing.  

All of the mountain papers really spoke to me to create this layout for my album about my childhood.  And it was perfect, since we are literally on a mountain in the picture!

The title fit perfectly right above the photo and I used a mix of the Thickers and the We R Memory Keepers tiny alphabets.  To top off the title, I used a puffy camera sticker from Pink Paislee and a Shimelle wood button with more mountains.

I wanted something bold on the bottom so those gold glitter Thickers were great for that.  I also added a few more little details including the black and gold washi tape.  To add some more dimension, I fussy cut around the mountain paper to give them some height and an added detail under the photo.

For the journaling, I used a die cut and covered up the sentiment with a strip of the washi so it made more sense for my layout.  

I hope you enjoyed this layout and it helps inspire you to pull out some older photos and get them documented.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Every book is an Adventure with the Let's Get Lost Daily Diary and Classic Kits

Hello!  Nicole here today to share a layout that takes the adventure theme to the kits in a different direction.  I recently found these photos of my grandma reading to my little guy.  I knew the colors would play off the colors in the kits perfectly.   For those that have both kits the colors and embellishments really work so well together. 

I started with the black cardstock and pattern papers from the classic kit.  I cut strips of pattern paper and layered them behind my photos.  I then grabbed a few of the journaling cards from the daily diary kit and layered them under the top of my photos.  Using my Silhouette I cut part of my title from the red cardstock in the kit and paired it with one of the glittered thickers to form the title. 

Once the foundation was built I got to work placing the simple embellishments:  flowers, stickers, washi tape, and ribbon. 

I added a "frame" of sorts with a simple white gel pen and a pattern paper.  I kept the overall look to the layout simple and let the pictures and simple embellishments shine. 

Thanks for stopping by the blog!

{Maddy} Layout with the "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit

Hi everyone!  It's Meridy here today.  I have a layout to share with you using the "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit.  I am having a great time scrapbooking outdoorsy pictures with this month's kit, and today's layout is no exception.  I pulled a couple of pictures of my daughter from a camping trip we took in 2011 (does that tell you how often I go camping?).  I'm more of a hotel and pool kind of mom!  But, we did go camping in 2011 and I had the most fun taking pictures (of course!).

My favorite part about this kit, and all of my Noel Mignon kits, is the wide variety of embellishments and patterned paper!  So I picked a few papers that really matched the photos, and built my layout up from that.  The title, "Maddy" is made with stickers from a previous Noel Mignon kit, and the bits and pieces that surround my title came from this month's beautiful kit!

I created another embellihsment cluster on the bottom left of my layout to balance out my title area.  Again, I used alphabet stickers from a previous kit, but the rest of the bits and pieces came from the "Let's Get Lost" Classic Kit.  I fussy cut the camera from a piece of Echo Park patterned paper in this month's kit.

Since the background paper already had lines, I journaled right on the background paper!  I think that about wraps up this layout.  I would love to see what you create with your "Let's Get Lost" kits on Instagram #NoelMignon  Have a great week!!!

Awesome Traveler - Let's Get Lost Kit (April Classic)

Hi!  Sarah here with my take on an adventurous layout.  Now...this one isn't about a particular event or trip.  This one is about how my younger sister didn't have the most adventurous spirit growing up.  She tended to get moody and whiny when we went on trips.  I have a series of pictures from different places and she just has the best "stink face" in all three photos.  I just had to document this!

I really loved the map paper from Echo Park that was in the kit so I used it to signify the traveling aspect of the photos.  

The title is a mix of the Thickers from the kit and a word sticker from the We R Memory Keepers sticker sheet.  I used the brackets also from the WRMK sheet to emphasize that this is a sarcastic title.  I fussy-cut some of the cameras out of the Echo Park paper to use as embellishments in three different areas.  Adding the yellow puffy sticker from Pink Paislee was the perfect way to finish off that camera!

I also used the "YAY" from the glitter Thickers pack and left out the exclamation point to further add to the sarcasm.  My journaling is right next to it talking about the topic of the layout.

I finished off the photos with some of the WRMK word tiles and used some of the Heidi Swapp Colorshine in Ocean as a finishing touch.  Since the map paper had so much design already, I didn't need to do too much to the layout.  Nice and simple and I love it!

Adventures come in different forms and mean different things to different people.  Do you have a funny story to tell that can be considered an adventure?  Maybe something sarcastic?  I can't wait to see what you make with your kits this month!

Let's Go!

We're going on an adventure this week with our Let's Get Lost kits! Now remember, adventures aren't just vacations and special planned excursions, adventures can happen in your own backyard or, as in the case of my layout today, in your own neighborhood!

I kept my layout pretty simple, letting the photos be the focal point. I splashed a little bit of the Heidi Swapp color shine on my white cardstock. I love this color because as it dries it's a very subtle blue and somewhat opaque. That washi is so hard to photograph with the gold foil but I love the look it adds to my page!

Some stitching finished off my page and now I'm itching for that warm weather so we can enjoy the outside again!! We had snow here in eastern Washington this week...I'm ready for shorts and flip flops!
