{Cub Scout Life} Layout with the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit

Hi!  It's Meridy here today, and I am excited to share a Cub Scout layout with you.  The colors in this month's kit and those two tone Thickers (gold and dark blue) matched the Cub Scout colors to the tee!

I created 2 12x12 layouts this week, they will face each other in the album, so the supplies and colors coordinate.  

This first layout will go on the left hand side.  I started by layering some cardstock to make a nice frame for the layout.  I only used a couple of patterned papers to pull some of the wood grain and orange from the photos and make them pop.  

The die cuts in this kit were an awesome addition to a Cub Scout layout.  I used those die cuts to ground the title of the layout.  Once I got die cut cluster placed, I was able to use those gorgeous Thickers to spell out "Cub Scout", the acrylic word "life", and the acrylic arrow to finish off the title.  I used a few stamps from my stash to add a few more phrases to the title and stamp some geotags sprinkled around---kind of the same effect as ink splatters or sequins, but more masculine.  

This next page will go on the right hand side of the layout.  I started with a grey cardstock "frame" and used the pretty orange plaid paper as the background.  I built up a few layers using the same scraps of patterned paper I used on the opposite page.  

I added twine to this layout to give it an outdoorsy, masculine feel.  I again used some die cuts and some stamps to embellish this top corner of the layout.  I also continued stamping the various small geotags on this layout to pull the two pages together.  

Finally, I created another die cut cluster on the bottom left hand side of this page.  The Arizona is actually a stamped image that I fussy cut from white paper, and used a geotag stamp to note the location of the campground.  

I carried the gold and blue Thickers to this side of the layout to spell the word "camp", again to maintain consistency between the two layouts.  That finishes off the layouts for a cute spread about Cub Scout Camp 2016.  Thank you for stopping by today!!!

{Happy Thanksgiving} Layout with the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit

Hello Friends!  It's Meridy here and fall is in full swing, we had a Fall Festival and a visit to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend.  I got lots of pictures, and I can't wait to get them printed.  In the meantime, I worked on a layout with a photo of Thanksgiving 2016 for today's layout using the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit.  This week the design team is heading over to Pinterest for inspiration.  I found this fall mood board, and decided to take cues from it when creating my layout this week.  I mainly went with a similar color scheme, the wood grain, and falling leaves, for inspiration.

 Here is what I came up with...

I used the wood grain patterned papers for the background of my layout, they just seemed to fit the style I was leaning towards from my inspiration board.  Next, I layered a few strips of paper that I had left over from previous layouts I created this month.  The photograph is the star of this layout for sure!!!

I did add a couple of doilies from my stash to bulk up the layers here, but I think they worked really well with the style and look I was going for.  

I used the acrylic word "happy" from the kit as a starting point for my "Happy Thanksgiving" title, and finished it off with the gold Thickers from the kit. 

Finally, I layered up some of the chipboard stickers from the kit, a little twine, some die cuts, crystal dots, and a few sequins (from my stash).  I even used some of the Prima packaging from the puffy stickers to create a subtle layer peeking out from beneath the chipboard stickers.  

That wraps up my layout for today!  I can't wait to see what you create with your "Apple Crisp" Kits!!!

{Family 2016} layout with the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit

Hello friends!  It's Meridy here with you today.  I have a layout to share with you this week featuring some mixed media and the "Apple Crisp" Classic Kit.  This layout is featuring photos of our Thanksgiving dinner in 2016.

For this layout, I started with the BEAUTIFUL Prima papers from the Autumn Moon line.  They are just gorgeous! 

 The left side of my layout features my 2 favorite pictures from Thanksgiving dinner.  I really enjoyed layering up different textures and media for this side of the layout.  I started with the dimensional leaves in the kit, then added some of the twine.  Next I stamped a few images directly onto the layout.  

I also splattered some of the beautiful stain that came in this month's kit across the corners of the page, right over my embellishment clusters.  

The right hand side of my layout features an 8x10 collage.  I find this is a great way to add multiple photos to a layout without making it feel cluttered.

I finished off this page with a strip of glitter washi and a cute cluster of embellishments from the great selection in this month's kit.  I love that everything in my Noel Mignon kits work so well together.  I used some crystal dots, paper leaves, a paper bow, some printed die cuts, and a few puffy stickers.

And that wraps up my layout this week, with a touch of mixes media.  Thanks for stopping by!!!
