Happy Saturday! Today I have a new layout using the new June Daily Dairy Kit - Big Splash from Noel Mignon

I just happened to have the same stencil that was in the Big Splash Classic Kit. I decided to colour it with the Mermaid Lagoon Distress Marker from the Daily Diary Kit, mist it with water, then flip it over and press down on some white cardstock to give the background a nice watery look.

I used the cute star sequin stamp from the Heidi Swapp set, and a mix of different blue inks from my stash, and stamped randomly around my background.

I stitched some of the Maya Road Sheer Blue Ribbon in a ruffle to mimic waves, then layered the Fancy Pants Die Cuts.

I layered lots of bits from the kit around the page.

Next I used a piece of the 6x6 Carta Bella Paper and stitched it to the top corner of they layout, then ripped away the white cardstock to reveal the pattern

The clear Heidi Swapp flamingo sticker was the perfect finishing touch to this layout!

Adventure

Happy Canadian long weekend everyone!!! 

Today I want to share with you a new mixed media layout using the 

ENJOY THE JOURNEY Classic Kit

I had so much fun creating this layout. I started with the Kraft cardstock, and added some white gesso to the background. Once that dried, I splattered some Distress Spray in Blueprint Sketch.

Next I chose a handful of different pattern papers, and several circle punches, and started creating a layered circle pattern on my background. Once I had the circles glued into place, I stitched through some of them with some turquoise thread.

Next up I grabbed my Jane Davenport Coloured Pencils and coloured around every circle to add another pop of colour. I added some of the cork circle pieces, but lightened them up a bit with a White Gelato from my stash.

I used the Crate Paper Here and There roller stamp and a handful of different coloured inks and stamped phrases all over the background. 

To complete this layout I trimmed my page, and used my "Notebook" punch on the edges, then layered it on some yellow cardstock and stitched a messy border. 

I hope this inspired you to dig into your paper punches and create something new!

Memories Of Our Getaway

Happy Mothers Day weekend everyone! Danielle here with a new layout using the Noel Mignon "Enjoy The Journey" Classic Kit. In honour of Mothers Day, I chose to scrapbook a photo of a trip my Mom & I took 25 year ago.

My layout started with these super fun felt flowers in the kit

I started deconstructing the white one with a few nips from my scissors.

and here is the result.

I thought it added some great unexpected texture to my layout, so I used it as a trim at the top of the page. I adhered it with some tacky glue.

One of my favourite items from the kit this month is the Crate Paper Here and There roller stamp. I stamped different phrases using multiple shade of pink ink all around the layout.

I outlined the Dear Lizzy Thickers with my Sharpie Pen to help them "pop" a bit more.

And no page is complete without some random sequins and splatters from my stash!

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

Our Favourite Trip

Happy Monday Everyone! Danielle here with a new mixed media layout using the Enjoy The Journey Classic Kit

I was drawn to the Turquoise American Crafts Cardstock that was included in the kit. Right away I picked through my stash of Faber Castell Gelatos and came up with a watery colour palette.

I added some gesso to a piece of American Crafts White Cardstock from my stash. Next I grabbed the pack of Crate Paper Here & There Rub Ons from the kit and randomly used them in a circle around the page. ( Tip - as a former scrapbook stash hoarder, don't let your rub on sit around... as time goes by they don't hold up, so use them up while they are new!!! )

The rub ons will act as a resist when you apply Gelatos, or even watercolour paints over them. I used a piece of the plastic package from the rub ons, scribbled the gelatos on, then spritzed with water and mixed together with a paintbrush, then flipped the plastic over on to my paper to achieve this cool watercolour effect.

I used several different ink pads from my stash and the Crate Paper Here & There roller stamp from the kit, and stamped random phrases around the layout.

The ribbon that was included in this months kit was perfect for stitching a little ruffle at the top of the page for more texture.

I fussy cut the word "TRIP" out of one of the embellishments in the kit, then used the roller stamp on top of it.

To finish off the layout I used Sequins, Gold Mist and White Thread for more detail.

Project Life Week 38 2016

Today I have week 38 of my Project Life to share, using the Falloween Daily Diary Kit by Noel Mignon!

First up is the Process Video

This weeks Design Team challenge is Falling Leaves - use leaves somewhere on your layout.

This week my boys wanted to include some drawings. Noah drew a picture of our dogs, and Liam drew a picture of me! I also included a tag from a new shirt my husband purchased.

you can see here that for the challenge, I used 2 3x4 cards with leaves printed on them, then added one of the Pebbles Rubber Charms that is a leaf.

I found some pictures the boys drew, on their desks, and decided to include them, using a 8.5 x 11 page protector. For some added fun and texture I stitched a ruffled strip of purple velvet ribbon from my stash.

And here are some close ups

Thanks for stopping by! How is your 2016 Project Life coming along?
