Documenting Week 22 with Happy Days

Happy Thursday! Danielle here, to share with you my Project Life Week 22 using the Happy Days Daily Diary Kit from Noel Mignon. 

Up first is a process video


And here are some photos
 I love how this layout came together!

 I added lots of little details, like stitching some cards together to make a 4x6 card, and to my titles
I loved all the yellow flowers in this months kit. They add a fun pop of colour & texture.
 Here is an 8.5x11 page protector I cut down, then stitched together using my sewing machine. I used the gorgeous teal ribbon that came in the kit to edge the page and add some extra texture
Next up I dumped a bunch of sequins from my mason jar, into the page. Then I used my sewing machine again to stitch a pocket to keep them in place. After that I added my ephemera and that cute felt ribbon paper clip.
 I mixed and matched some alphas and word stickers
 I used my Tim Holtz bird punch from my stash and added a few of these cute birds to my layout to keep in theme with the card and photo about the new Oriole feeder I got.
And here is a close up of my sequin pocket.

And don't forget to join us on the Noel Mignon Members Facebook Page June 21st for the Summer Lovin' Kit Reveal Party!

Happy Days: Mermaids

Hi, everyone! Jana Eubank here. This week on the Noel Mignon blog we are all working on a water/pool/beach/etc. theme with the "Splish Splash" challenge. This is perfect for me! Especially, since I've been trying to finish scrapping some photos from a trip to Lake Powell from a few years ago.

MERMAIDS

On this particular trip, grandma gave the grand-girls all a mermaid doll to play with at the lake. They LOVED them and took those mermaid dolls with them everywhere they went. It was so cute to see all the cousins walking around with them ... they even would give them baths in the shower! Ha! Too cute! Here is my page documenting this fun memory with the Happy Days Classic Kit.


I used the Echo Park cloud paper as the background of this page, and then built up a series of patterned paper strips on top to ground my photos and stamped postcard journal block (stamp included with the kit).


My Silhouette Cameo got a great workout on this page ... I created the title, mermaid, seashell, and seaweed all from paper scraps to decorate my page. This cute font (called PN Get Creative) and all of the images are by Lettering Delights.


The Simple Stories chipboard flowers were the perfect size to add to the mermaid's hair and the sequins included with the kit make the perfect bubbles!


The bright green Queen & Company flowers reminded me of something you would find under the sea and worked perfect here in this little cluster.

Thanks for taking a look at my page! I hope you have some fun beach-y things planned to do this summer. See you next time!

Splishin' and a Splashin' with Happy Days Classic Kit

Hello Bloggers. Lynn here with a layout using the Gorgeous "Happy Days" Classic Kit. This month's kit is summery, fresh and there are still a few left!! Grab one quick before they fly out of here! This week the Design Team is using water somewhere on our pages. I have tons of photos of the pool, beach and ocean but this one is so sweet of my niece's daughter at the beach. I used Amy Tangerine's "Better Together" papers and rub ons from the kit for my page. 
I love how fun these papers are - perfect for a summery photo. Here's a few close ups.
I bent the edges of the papers to give my page dimension. I added a few enamel dots here and there. 
The chose the large title so it would stand out from the busy patterned papers. 
I cut a tag and used both pieces. The top of the tag has coordinating rub ons from Amy Tangerine. The bottom of the tag says picture perfect and i tucked that under one of the lower layers - see my first photo. Come join the challenge this week - we'd love to see what you create. 
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week!!

Making a SPLASH with the "Happy Days" Classic Kit

Hello, it's Meridy here!!!  This week the design team is making a SPLASH working with a water theme in our layouts and I am using the "Happy Days" Classic Kit to do just that.  I have a couple of pictures of myself in the pool with both of my kiddos from last summer---these pictures with me in them rarely happen.  So I am really excited to get these photos scrapped. 


I cut the Echo Part striped paper diagonally and placed half of it on my background paper.  Next, I cut apart some of the green Echo Park paper following the interlocking pattern and placed it on the layout in 2 clusters.  I matted my photos with white cardstock and added a couple of scraps under the photos and journaling block to add a little dimension.  


I thought the Echo Park washi tape that came in this month's kit was adorable, so I used some on this layout.  I needed to build up the embellishment clusters a little, so I added a few self adhesive sequins from the "Happy Days" Kit, a few pink glitter dots from last month's kit, and some starburst punches from yellow cardstock.


I finished off the layout by adding the title, some pink and white bakers twine to the mini "sun" banner pieces, and matting the entire layout on a piece of yellow cardstock---for a little extra touch of color.


I would love to see some of the layouts you have created with this colorful "Happy Days" Classic Kit on our member's Facebook page.  Have a great week!!!

Happy Days are here again!

Good morning!

It's Becky here with you again today to share a couple of new projects that I made using the Happy Days Classic Kit, which as of today is still available in the online store.


For this first page I used the "Snapshots of a Happy Life!" from a Simple Stories patterned paper. It goes so perfectly with the challenge this week that I could not resist. I simply trimmed it from the patterned paper and added it to the bottom of my page, cut a thinner strip of patterned paper to use as a border and then added a group of smaller photos to create the focal point of my layout. 


From there I added my title using both sets of alpha stickers and finished off the page with a tag with handwritten journaling, a rubber charm "How sweet it is" as well as chipboard pieces and a floral rub-on. 


This photograph is one that means a lot to me and I knew that I wanted to use it with the "documented" chipboard from the kit. 

One of my girls LOVES gymnastics and does handstands just about everywhere she goes. 

She liked to practice handstands at her grandparents' house and her grandpa would give her tips about how to stay up longer, straighter, etc. He used to share stories about how he walked on his hands as a kid and was proud about the fact that he could walk on his hands all the way across the auditorium stage. 

It wasn't until my father-in-law passed away that I saw this picture of him standing on his hands and loved the picture of he and my daughter side by side in their handstands. This is such a fun thing to remember. 


To create the layout I trimmed a 1/2 inch from the length and width of a sheet of white cardstock and mounted that on patterned paper. I then misted the background (I'm not very good at keeping the background clean!) and then used another section of the Simple Stories patterned paper with the grid pattern as the center point of my layout. 

For this page I kind of worked from the bottom-up. I added the paper strips and then my title, making sure that I had enough room for the chipboard "documented" as well as the other stickers. After that I added my photo and lots of hearts and enamel dots. 

You may not have noticed but I also used one of the self-adhesive "brads" with the camera icon to fit in with this week's challenge. 

I hope that you've been inspired to scrapbook some memories as you've visited the Noel Mignon blog this week. 

We'll be back again soon with a new challenge.

preschool graduate

Hey guys, Michelle here and I'm pretty excited to share today's layout because it's my first (of many for sure!) using the new Happy Days Classic Kit. You guys, the embellishments in this kit are ah-mazing!!!! I can't wait to create and create and create with this kit!!!
And those alphas...there's 2 sets of alphas in the kit. I love when Noel includes a smaller alpha set. I get a lot of mileage out of those!

This week the design team is using camera accents in our pages and since my little one just had her preschool graduation {sniff sniff} that chipboard camera was a perfect addition to my page!
I decided to print one photo in color and 2 others in black and white. I also had my daughter write her name on that lined paper in the kit (it was easier for her to write in the white space and it actually looked better on my page). 
Side note - one of my favorite adhesives for those wood accents is the Stampin' Up! fine tip glue pen. I find it gives a nice hold to those oddly shaped accents like the wooden bookplate I used on my page. And it dries pretty fast!

So who's ready for summer vacation??? I know I am...one week to go!

Documenting Wk 21 with Happy Days!

Happy Thursday!
Danielle here to share Week 21 from my project life using the 
Happy Days Daily Diary Kit


 This weeks DT challenge is "Picture Perfect" - use a camera or film or instagram motif on your project
 On the left hand side of my project I used several. I used the camera flair that came in the kit with some coral thread bunched up behind it. I also used the frame that has cameras across the bottom, and I stitched the camera from the Simple Stories die cuts that were also included this month.
 On the right side of my project, I used the Camera Washi Tape strip from this month, along with the little camera sticker that I placed in the center of the "o" on the orange favorites card
 I tangled some gold thread and stapled it behind the butterfly on this card for some little detail
 I love the Basic Grey Banners that came in the kit. I used my hot glue gun to adhere it.
 Here I added a phrase sticker over top of the camera
