{2017 Goals} with the "Little Bird" Daily Diary Kit

Hi!  It's Meridy here.  Before I share my layout, I want to share a link to my video showing everything you get in the January 2017 "Little Bird" Daily Diary Kit.  There is so much great stuff in this kit, I wanted to share it with you!  I think there are still a couple of these cute kits available in the Noel Mignon store.

Onto my layout share for today...The Design Team is sharing layouts about our GOALS this week.

Since I will be using the Daily Diary kit every other month, I decided I needed to create a pocket page album, and I wanted to go in a little different direction than a typical "project life" style album. I'm not sure exactly what direction this album will go, but for now, it's to track my goals and progress on my goals for 2017.  This is an 8 1/2x11 album.  I purchased one of the Becky Higgins Project Life Fuse Tools so that I can create my own page layouts and pockets in various sizes.  I really love his little tool, it give me so much creative freedom!

The first layout in my album is where I documented my main goals for 2017.  I used the "Reset Girls" 3x4 cards, since they were preprinted with "plan" and quotes about resetting your life.  I decided to add a photo of my family, so every time I look at my goals, I will be reminded of why I am working so hard to achieve them.

I used some green Thickers from an older NM Kit to write "2017" and stickers from the "Little Bird" Kit for the subtitle "goals".  I added stickers from this kit to all of the cards to dress them up a bit. I also added some of the pretty silk ribbon to one of the cards. 

My "word" for 2017 is REDUCE.  I would like to reduce things in all areas of my life, so I noted that on the card as well.

I decided to make one of the pockets into a shaker pocket.  I filled it with a few sequins and sealed it up with my Fuse tool.  I added 2 heart stickers from the kit to the outside of this pocket to complete it.

That wraps up my first pocket page of my new album.  If you made a layout about your 2017 goals, please share it on our Noel Mignon Members Facebook page.  I would love to see it!!!

Weeks 42 & 43 | Buttons and Bows Daily Diary kit

Wendy here this morning with a new challenge to inspire you with, this week we are going to be Magical!  You challenge this week is to use "Magical" as the inspiration for your layout (or other project) this week.

I found the Becky Higgins PL cards to be so fun and light, almost magical, so I chose to limit my products to keep my layout consistent and magical.  I also created a shaker pocket card with the fun sequins included in the daily details kit for a magical feel, course it would have been nice if I had put the right week number on it!

I hope you have a magical week as you are inspired to be creative in all you do!

Falling Leaves Challenge

Hi There, Lynn here wrapping up our Fall Crop week over on our Facebook Members Page! Hope you've had fun - we LOVE seeing your projects based on our challenges - keep them coming! My challenge for you today is to use a leaf in some form on your project. This could be leaf paper, leaf ribbon or leaf shapes. I created a Project Life page and incorporated leaves that I cut from Pink Paislee's Cedar Lane paper from this month's Blue Moon Classic Kit. The PL cards are from October's Blue Moon Daily Diary Kit. Here's my page ... I apologize for my photo quality - I need a new CF card reader so these were taken with my iphone late yesterday after work :(

I added leaves as embellishments to several of the cards - including my title card.

It's hard to see but the leaves have yellow stickers on them that say "WK 40". Here's another card where I layered some leaves as an embellishment.

I created a few shaker pockets with my Fuse Tool around this 4x4 card which also has lots of fussy cut leaves as a border.

So, lets see how you incorporate leaves on your project. Please upload them to the "Falling Leaves" album on the Noel Mignon Facebook Members Page. Thanks so much for playing along with us this week and keep those projects coming!!

 

Documenting the Changing Seasons with October's Blue Moon Daily Diary Kit

Howdy Everyone, I'm here with my first Pocket Page using October's Blue Moon Daily Diary Kit! I wanted to document the changing seasons here in New England and this kit is perfect. I love the fall colors in this kit, especially the Simple Stories "We are Family" collection. Here's my page

I created some extra pockets using the Fuse tool. One pocket became a shaker pocket and I altered a 4x6 pocket to accommodate two 3x4 cards.

I added a frame around one of the photos to add some interest.

Since there are so many pockets on this page I didn't want it to get too busy. So the middle section is filled with simple 2x2 squares.

 

I attached a few of the photos with the fun Washi Tape included in the kit and that allowed for me to journal under one of the photos.

This is the last pocket that I converted into two 3x4 pockets

I hope this page give you some ideas on how to document your fall photos using the Blue Moon Daily Diary Kit! Embrace the season if you can - it's such a beautiful time of the year!

Be sure to sign up for the next term of kits - from January to June 2016! You will not be disappointed in our kits - they are LOADED with fun current products!! Have a great week!!
