Felicity Jane Layout Share: Next Stop Kit

Happy Monday, friends! I have a quick Layout Share video for you today showing you the projects I made with my Felicity Jane “Next Stop” Kit that I purchased a few months ago. I’ve been dying to use this kit! I just adore the colors and that floral paper … SWOON!

If you’d like to see close up photos of each page, just scroll past the video (there is also a BONUS layout, that wasn’t included in the video).

Here’s a quick look at what the kit looked like before I dug into it.

This kit was from July, so unfortunately it is no longer available, but hopefully, you will still gain some inspiration from the designs and stories. (The chipboard letters from this kit are available in the Felicity Jane shop HERE.)

Okay! Now for the layouts … I included detail shots, in case you wanted to get a better look at something. Enjoy!

HELLO AGAIN

My relatives from Minnesota were driving through Utah on a road trip and called us to go for a quick lunch. It’s always so much fun to see them! We always pick up right where we left off … I love these people! They have blessed my life more than they know!

I cut out all the flowers from the floral patterned paper and used them as embellishments on every single page I’m sharing today.

That bit of black/white patterned paper was actually a leftover strip from another Felicity Jane kit … it worked perfectly as a little accent across the top of this page to ground everything.

I cut the word “hello” from a thank you insert card from the kit. The aqua letters are from my stash (Heidi Swapp).

I used my Mini Stapler to accent the word stickers.

I love the flair that comes with Felicity Jane kits. It is the perfect size! I added two of them here and they aren’t too large to take away from other things happening on the page.

I believe this is the only page I used the stamp on … Just a bit at the bottom to fill that empty space.

HEART ATTACK

In my congregation I was serving as “Activity Days Leader” with the 8 to 12 year old girls. Every other week we would get together to craft, learn, and/or do a service project. I adore these girls so much!

On this particular day we covered the Bishop’s office (leader of our congregation) with hearts and notes to let him know how much we appreciate all he does for us! It was a lot of fun!

I layered a few bits from the cut apart sticker sheet at the top along with another piece of flair from the kit.

Below the photos, I clustered together more of the cut apart stickers, and a fussy-cut flower framed by a wood piece included with the kit.

These gorgeous chipboard letters were part of the kit and I adore them!

EMBRACING MY CURLY HAIR

I’ve always hated my cotton-candy-frizzy hair … then one day my hair dresser informed me, “You know your hair isn’t frizzy … it’s just curly!” She loaned me a book about curly hair and I learned to embrace my hair’s true nature … now I LOVE that I have curly hair!

More of those gorgeous handcut florals at the top of the page, (LOOOOVE!) and tons of patterned paper layers behind the photo. I even used the embossed glassine bag that held some of the kit items as one of the layers behind the photo. I love the varied texture it adds!

For the title, I combined the kit’s black/white chipboard letters with a few other sets of alphabets from my stash. The red letters are by American Crafts, and the aqua letters are an oldie-but-goodie by Making Memories (Pitter Patter collection).

.

BE MY VALENTINE

The colors and flowers in this kit screamed “Valentine’s Day” to me, even though this kit was released in July. I couldn’t resist pulling out a few photos of my daughter with her Valentine treats to scrap.

Another handcut flower spray … the tag from the cut-apart sticker sheet, a white tag from my stash, and the puffy heart stickers from the Felicity Jane store (sold out right now).

For the title, I used the kit’s chipboard letters along with a script letter sticker set by American Crafts.

At the bottom of the page, I combined the cut-apart sticker flag with a few punched flags (using scraps from the kit).

PERFECT TIMING

This last page was born from all of the leftover patterned paper strips from the kit. I stacked them vertically and then added a punch of black around the photos to help them stand out even more.

A few gold sequins from my stash and a bit of aqua ribbon from my stash to embellish … and then the same American Crafts Thickers that I used before.

Thanks so much for coming by! I hope you enjoyed my “gallery” of projects today!

Happy Scrapping!

         

Noel Mignon: So Fab!

Happy Friday, scrappy souls! I’m back with another page using the Noel Mignon September 2016 “Buttons & Bows” Classic Kit mixed with some elements from the “Buttons & Bows” Daily Diary kit. Oh, my gosh! I have LOVED playing with this kit … who am I kidding? … I love every kit that Noel Mignon puts out. Ha!

Today’s page features a lot of elements from one of my favorite manufacturers, Simple Stories!

SO FAB

Even though I still have one more page with this kit to share with you next week, this is actually the last page I created with the kit. I pulled in all the Simple Stories products I had left and then paired them with the scraps I had left.

(Sidenote: The pics on this page are blurry iPhone pics, … so some of the detail shots MAY look out-of-focus, but it actually the poor quality photos ON the page. Ha!)

I was running low on full sheets of patterned papers, so I actually ended up pulling in a few sheets of paper from my stash to create these layered circles. The pink sheet is from a past Noel Mignon kit, the heart dot paper is from the Buttons & Bows Daily Diary kit, and the yellow sheet is actually a REALLY OLD sheet from American Crafts (the Hello Sunshine collection).

The title was created by cutting out the letters out of one of the Simple Stories journaling cards from the Buttons & Bows Daily Diary kit. I’ve actually done that on a few other pages lately … I LOVE the mixed color letters! They just end up looking so fun and fresh!

In the right corner of the photo I added a couple of Simple Stories “Posh” clips, and a tag die cut from the same collection. I wanted another tag, so I punched one from the patterned side of one of the journaling cards.

The journal block and flower cluster were also fussy-cut from journaling cards. The pencil jar and envelope are die cuts, the bird and smaller flower cluster come from the chipboard sticker sheet, and the foiled hearts were cut from the “Laugh Lots” patterned paper (Classic Kit).

Finally! … a suede bow and dimensional heart from the Pink Paislee “Take Me Away” collection to cap off this little cluster. Too cute!

Thanks for taking a minute to stop by and check out my work. I ALWAYS appreciate your time! My readers are the BEST!

Wishing you a wonderful and creative weekend!

         

Noel Mignon: Happy 10th Birthday

Hello! I’m up on the Noel Mignon blog for another design team challenge today … this week we are using the word MAGICAL as inspiration for our projects. I took the opportunity to scrapbook one of my daughter’s birthdays, because birthdays always felt magical and special to ME when I was a girl.🙂

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY

I fell in love with the colorful Thickers in the Buttons & Bows Classic kit this month and really wanted to make them the star on this page. I sliced off the pink section of the Simple Stories “Live Simply” color-blocked paper and used it as a home for my larger title.

I placed the Maya Road lace trim along the edge of the title block to add a feminine touch. The gold puffy Fancy Pants Millie & June stickers add a fun bit of shimmer!

The lower portion of my page is dedicated to the photos. I placed my trio of shots on different colors of cardstock that coordinate with the colorful title above.

Next, I treated each photo as it’s own little vignette; embellishing each one and achoring the journaling cards to them.

How cute is that poodle sticker by Fancy Pants Designs?! And I adore that suede bow sticker from Pink Paislee!❤❤❤

This was a different look for me this time, but I had a lot of fun creating it all the same. I hope it helped to inspire you to scrap the “magical” moments in your life!

Have a great day!

         

Noel Mignon: Hey Sunshine

I’ve been plowing through my Noel Mignon Buttons & Bows Classic and Daily Diary kit the past week … oh, my goodness! How I love these sweet papers and colors! This week I’ll share three of those pages with you and then I’ll share my last page on the 28th before I dig into October’s kits. Here’s what I have for you today!

HEY SUNSHINE

I love these photos of my youngest daughter playing with her dolls from a couple years ago. Sadly, we are transitioning out of that phase and so these photos are even more precious to me. Sure! They still love their toys now-and-then, but they aren’t set up in little vignettes around the house like they used to be. (I always enjoyed seeing how their creativity shined in those little vignettes.🙂 )

For the background of this page, I layered up the kraft and geyser cardstock along with the ombre watercolor paper from Pink Paislee. I love the coral hues in that sheet. The Prima flowers look divine against the gradation of color! I placed the lighter large flower on the left side against the darker wash of the pattern; and the darker large flower on the right side on top of the lighter end. Love how they contrast against that background! The gray leaves I added were fussy-cut from the floral #02 Pink Paislee “Take Me Away” paper. (Swoon!)

I also love the way the colors of the floral pattern in the bow and flair button tie everything together on this page.

I don’t know why … but it has taken me a long time to warm up to the watercolor look in scrapbook products. I can truly say now that I am in love with it! I like to mix them up with more graphic patterns; like the triangle and scattered dot paper you see on this page.

The Queen & Co. green iridescent dots were such a fun finishing touch on this page. I love the way they add a bit of shimmer and shine, along with the beaded centers of the Prima flowers.

I hope you enjoyed my project today!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
