Creative Scrappers Reveal #262

Hi friends!! Happy Sunday! I don't know how the weather is where you are, but here it is cold and snowy..perfect weather for scrapping the day away, and I have just the thing to inspire you! The newest sketch from Creative Scrappers!


Sketch #262 is so fun with the chevron background, and it leaves it open for so many different interpretations! Here is my take:

I changed it up a bit and used just one larger photo instead of the three small...when I saw the sketch, I instantly thought of this photo, so I had to figure out how to make it work (I already had it printed lol) I used the fun Notable collection from We R Memory Keepers, which I am so in love with! The colors are fabulous!

If you would like a chance at a prize from this month's sponsor:

Hugs & Kisses

Hi friends!! What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Valentine's Day? Love, right? That is how I felt the minute I saw this photo...the quality is horrible, but this so sums up my baby boy and his feelings of his first Vday! I knew instantly I wanted this layout to be bright and fun...and I wanted to do a large title, not something I normally do. I found this file in the silhouette store, and knew it was perfect.



I also really wanted this to have a valentine feel, but not use "traditional" valentine colors. The pinks and navy blues in the Welcome Spring line were perfect for this!





Adding in a few fun elements and layers, I have a very fun and "love"-ly valentine's day layout!! :)





Supply List:

Imaginisce: Pattern Paper ( My Baby, Welcome Spring), Die Cut Tags Pad (Welcome Spring)

Creative Scrappers Reveal #261

HI friends!! I'm here today to share the new sketch that went up at Creative Scrappers!! Another great one!!!

I chose to go SUPER simple with my layout this week...was kind of a nice change...not sure I'll stick with this simple style, but it was a fun change. Here is my layout:

I used the Autumn Crisp line from American Crafts. I love the colors in this collection, and thought it went really good with my photo. Just a few simple layers, and I called it good. :)

Make sure you head over to Creative Scrappers and see inspiration from the rest of the team. Also, play along and link up your layout for a chance at a prize from our sponsor:

Hope you all have a great week, and take time to create something you love!!

So Foxy

Hi Friends!! I am in full on valentine mode! I love this special day of celebrating those you love...I think you should tell/show them everyday, but having that one special day to get as mushy as you want is pretty fun.
I am not much of a cardmaker, so normally, as much as I hate to admit it, I end up buying valentine's for my family. This year though, I am determined to make them. They may be simple, but they will be from my heart, and that's what it's all about!

So, when I saw the cut apart paper from Jillibean Soup in the Book Of Love kit from Noel Mignon, I knew this was going to help me a TON! Then I saw the " So Foxy" card and knew it would be perfect for my hubby...anybody that knows us knows that that is SO us.

So, here is the card I created:

Simple, but cute, right? I think he will love it....even though my 5 year old informed me that, "it's way too pink for Daddy!" lol.

Don't forget to join us next week for our Book of Love crop on the Noel Mignon facebook group!! It's going to be a blast!!!

Pocket Pages Monthly Review...Catching Up

Hi everyone!! I'm finally getting around to getting my Project 12 pages caught up. I was doing so good at keeping up, and then school started and it was all down hill from there. So trying to finish those up, and decide if I'm going to continue on for 2014. Very undecided at this point. This is probably my favorite album, but I'm just not sure if it's for me.

Anyways...here are my September layouts.

Love using mambi product for these pocket pages...makes it so easy, and isn't the orientation of the protectors fun! Loved working with this one! Here are a few close ups.

This was such a fun spread to make, loved how colorful it ended up being! :)

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

Lovely Day Together

Hi all!! I have a new layout up on the Noel Mignon blog today using the Fresh Start kit. For this layout I was inspired by fair ribbon embellishments like these:



These are from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan and the My Girl collection, both from American Crafts.
I thought it would be fun to take this inspiration and instead of using it as an embellishment, to work it with my photo to be the main focal point.

I fussy cut the banner from an Elle's Studio paper that was included in the kit, and then simply added in more texture and dimension with more layers and embellishment.

My final layout has all the embellishment centered under my photo which help to draw your eye to it. My using the lighter pastel colors with the darker tones of my photo, it helps it to really stand out!

Thanks for stopping by today, 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!!
