Someday...

Hi friends!! Hopping on today to share a fun layout I have up on the Noel Mignon blog. For this layout, I had a few challenges I gave myself. Kill some of those old kits, no trimmer, scissors only ( so if you notice something crooked, that's why!), and I started my base layout on a trimmed down piece of white cardstock, then later matted it on a 12x12.

This really helped get my creative wheels turning!!

I didn't follow any rules or design principals here, and I am so happy with it. I am slowly getting back to where I enjoy creating, thank goodness!! I'm missing it, just having fun and not worrying so much makes ALL the difference!! :)

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day, and take time to create something you love!

My Little Man **Noel Mignon***

Hi everyone!! I'm here today to to share another layout made with the Fresh Start kit, that is up on the NoelMignon blog. I love this kit so much...the colors are fabulous, and I love that I have gotten two very different layout looks out of it, (this layout and my princess layout).

Over the summer we love to spend as much time outdoors as possible. I was able to snatch this picture of our baby boy on his first fishing trip out last year. He, obviously, was too young to participate yet, but he had such fun watching his sisters and just enjoying the environment around us..so of course, it had to have a layout to go with it! :)



I loved that Hey Kid banner piece from Pink Paislee, and knew I wanted to use it for the color scheme on this layout, I also used it for my title. Some very simple layering and I love the finished product.

This corner here was actually done as an after thought, I originally had adhered the wood veneer speech bubble in this spot, but it just wasn't working. I went to remove it, and it tore my photo a bit, along with leaving behind some adhesive. A few simple cuts and the adorable arrow clip, and I was able to cover the spot AND it ended up being one of my favorite details of the layout!

I felt the corners need a little something more, so I just cut a few strips from that fabulous Elle's Studio paper ( I am saving every sngle scrap of that one LOVE it!) and some messy stamping was the perfect finishing touch!
Love how this kit worked absolutely perfect for both a very girly layout and a very boy layout! Noel sure knows how to put them together!! So...if you haven't yet, make sure you scoop up this deal!! Only a very limited number left!! Also, don't forget about the 50% off sale that is going on right now...good on past kits and shop items!!

             

Thanks for stopping in, and I hope you all have a great day, and take time to create something you love!!

Sweet, Beautiful Princess....in training

Hi everyone!!! So excited to  share my very first layout as a member of the Noel Mignon design team with you!! I was beyond excited when Virginia contacted me about joining this team. I am honored to be among the amazing talent on this team, and I absolutely love the sweet community.

So here is my first layout using the "Fresh Start" kit.

I love the colors in this kit, and it was so good to go with these photos of my oldest daughter from our recent Disney trip. The minute I saw this "princess in training" saying on one of the papers, I knew it had to be fussy cut, and used on this layout!

I had so much fun layering and just using all the fun girly elements that I could for this one! I am having  a problem with those glitter heart toothpicks...I love them so much I want to use them all, but then I love them so much I want to keep them all! ha!

I'm also up on the Noel Mignon blog today, sharing this layout and a few organizational tips if you want to head over and check it out!

Thanks for stopping in today, and hope you take time to create something you love!!!
