happy Spring Break

It's Spring Break here in our part of Texas and we are enjoying not having to run here and there like we do typically. It's been a laid-back week so far and I love it.

I did get to do a little bit of scrapbooking, including this page that I shared today on the Noel Mignon kit club blog:

I like to use kit contents, especially packaging, in fun ways. The rainbow striped paper is actually packaging from the American Crafts foam Thickers in the You Go Girl Dialy Diary kit. I thought it would be great as part of this page with my girls in their colorful clothes. 

How do you find time to be creative? 

I'd love to hear your ideas of how to fit in some creative time amidst all of the other things in life.

a quick and easy page for Noel Mignon

Hello again!

It was a crazy week last week as we had another out of town gymnastics meet.

This was the last one of the season and now it's prep time for the state meet.

I've gotten behind on posting here because of trip prep so today I have a new project to share with you. I created this page using the You Go Girl Classic kit from Noel Mignon.

Do you ever find silly selfies from your kids on your phone? 

I sure do, even from my kids who have their OWN cell phones. 

I always love finding these and decided to use some recent selfies of my 6-year-old on this layout. 

I kept the page pretty basic. 

Do you tend to go quick and easy on your projects or do you spend a lot of time on the little details? 

Have a great day!

Noel Mignon and a cute kitty

I have a project to share featuring the February Noel Mignon kit and our cute little kitty, Crookshanks.

Crookshanks became part of the family on December 29 of last year, a birthday gift for one of my girls. While my husband wasn't ecstatic about the new addition he has been tolerant and has even on occasion been known to pet or hold the kitty. 

I used various household items to trace and then handcut the circles and x's. 

You can read more about the details of how I created this layout on the Noel Mignon blog.

a couple of quick cards

Good morning!

Today will be a quick post sharing a couple of super quick and easy cards I made using the Simple Stories sticker sheets from the February Noel Mignon Daily Diary kit, So Sweet.

With the crazy schedule we keep some days I just have to make a project fast, and that's what I did this week. I simply used some stickers, a bit of washi a strip of patterned paper and some twine and these cards were done.

What are you creating?

Drop a link and I will take a look. I love to see what others are up to.

sharing some quick cards

Hello again!

Today I have a few quick cards that I created in honor of the upcoming Valentine's Day.

These were all created using the February Daily Diary kit from Noel Mignon, So Sweet.

Each of these cards were created using pocket page cards, which makes for a quick and easy project. I simply added some little diecuts, flowers, tape and ribbon to finish the cards. They're all ready to go for Valentine's Day!

Thanks for stopping by today!

sharing some Noel Mignon love

My project for today is a layout that I created with the Noel Mignon kit club February kit:

This kit is a mix of product from Simple Stories, Pebbles, American Crafts, Carta Bella and more. Noel does such a beautiful job of coordinating products from many companies but that go so well together to make any kind of papercrafting project. 

My page this week is based off of a February PageMaps sketch by the wonderful Becky Fleck. 

You can see more details of my page on the Noel Mignon blog today.

New year, new post

I wanted to start out 2018 by posting on this long-forgotten blog of mine.

I am still designing for Noel Mignon so I will have projects to share now and then if there is anyone out there still reading my blog ☺

Here is the project that I created for this week at Noel Mignon using the new She's So Crafty Classic kit. 

This is one of only a few projects I've ever done where I didn't use any photos. 

What is something new that you would like to try this year? 

If you are reading, could you say hi? 

new kit from Noel Mignon

With a new month comes a new scrapbooking kit from Noel Mignon.

This month our kit is a Paris-inspired kit with lots of lace and textures and a softer color palette than last month's bright, summery kit.

Here is the first project that I have created with the kit, incorporating some hand stitching, which was our designer challenge for this week:
