Lucky to Be in Love!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm a little partial to this holiday because green is my favorite color! :) 

Today I have this "lucky" layout to share with you using the Wishing Well kit (still available). Oh and before I forget: Use Code  SPRING30 to save 30% off all paper packs and past kits, now through March 25th!

I loved this watercolor background paper and wanted to continue the "painted" theme on the rest of the layout, so I used a paintbrush with two different shades of green Heidi Swapp mists to write the word on white cardstock. Once it dried, I just cut it out and added it on. I love how the two shades add depth. 

The smattering of gold hearts from the kit make me happy... it's my little pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow. ;) 

Have a great day!

It's Friday and that means I have a new project to share with you using the Noel Mignon March Wishing Well Kit.

Hi everyone, it's Jana Eubank. This week we have been taking a cue from St. Patrick's Day and pulling inspiration for our projects from shades of green. I had already chopped up one of the green sheets from the Wishing Well kit for my project I'll be sharing with you next week, so I chose to pull out the next best thing ... the blue-green constellation paper from the Webster's Pages Recorded Collection. I adore this paper and immediately thought of some photos I had from when my kids had a sleepover with their cousins.

I used the constellation paper for the background, but I loved the other side of the sheet, too! So I decided to cut a strip off of the bottom, then flip it around. Love all of those ampersands.
I framed the smaller photo with one of the chipboard frames from the kit and then used a double layer of cardstock to frame my larger photo. The journal block was created from the product packaging of the Maggie Holmes Styleboard rubons included with the kit.

For the background and title area, I took a cue from the starry night paper and decided to add more sky-like elements. a sunburst anchors the main photo and sparkly title to one another. I cut the title from glitter paper I had in my stash using my Silhouette Cameo electronic die cutting machine and a word art file found in the Silhouette store.

I added a bit of the washi tape included in my kit across the top of the page and then layered the triangle sequins together in a random pattern to represent stars in the sky.

So, does St. Patrick's day have you itching to scrapbook in shades of green? What will you be inspired to make?

And Just Like That . . .

As you may have already heard, it's Green Week on the blog!!!  Today I have a project to share using the newest kit, Wishing Well.  I used mainly green patterned papers & embellishments, along with some neutral golds & tans.  I took this photo of my son the other day, and was amazed when I looked at it later and realized just how much of a "boy" he looked like.  I wanted to document that transition kids have, between being a toddler and all of a sudden wanting to be their own little person :)



For the title work I used a mix of those adorable kraft alphas in the kit, and some larger green alphas from my stash.



I created a journaling area within one of the frames from the kit.  I simply printed my journaling on vellum, and than attached it behind the frame.  I love the way the vellum looks against the photo :)



At the bottom of the page I mixed and matched a variety of papers & embellishments from the kit to create a patchwork type display.  This is a great way to use scraps!!



Thanks so much for stopping by!!  Feel free to share your green projects in our Facebook group!!

Get Yer Green On!

Hi friends! Cassie here to share a St. Patty's themed layout made using the oldie but goodie, Study Hall.  One of the things I LOVE about Noel's kits is that they never go bad, I can use them months later and still have a great and fresh layout at the end.  Plus it's fun being able to "shop" the kits in my stash when I want to.

Here's a simple one photo layout I made celebrating my son and I's green attire last St. Patty's Day.  No pinches for us ;)

Have a great Wednesday- and don't forget to get yer green on for St Pattys Day :)

Hey There...

Hi friends!! Today I have a cute and simple little card to share with you. Over the weekend, I went to a crop with some fun ladies, while there, they were all busy making the cutest cards. As you know, I am not much of a cardmaker, but the more I saw of there cards, the more I decided that I would really like to start doing that more...so when I sat down to make my project, I knew that I wanted to do a card this week.

Now...I had another challenge on this card. Virginia challenged us all to make "green" projects this week...she left this wide open for us, we could interpret green however we wanted, but I was still finding it to be a bit of a struggle, especially on trying to pair this with cardmaking.

I found this card on Pinterest, and thought it was adorable, pairing it with a fun greenish color scheme, I am pleasantly surprised with the card I have for you. 

I  used pieces from this kit, and also pulled out some papers from the last few kits. I loved adding in the little bit of gold and navy to give it some interest. Ribbon, mist, chipboard, and rub ons give lots of fun dimensions and texture...turned out pretty cute...I might even actually send this one out instead of boxing it up with other cards I've made! lol.

Fill Your Heart

Hello! Jana Eubank here to share with you my first scrapbook page using the NEW March 2014 Wishing Well Kit. I adore this kit! The gold accents are so trendy and add the perfect amount of warmth to any project.

FILL YOUR HEART

I love the quote on the wood card included with my kit. I have never heard this quote before, but they are words that I try to live by. I couldn't resist adding multiple heart elements all over my page to go along with these special words.

There are heart rubons in the upper left corner ...

Shiny gold hearts sprinkled down the right side of my photo ...

and die cut hearts clustered together on top of a doily cut out. There are even small subtle hearts in the print of the paper bag accent.

What projects have you been creating with the Wishing Well kit? Be sure to share them with us on the Noel Mignon Facebook page.

Have a creative day!
