\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Collection Used: Noteworthy Days<\/a> (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop Australia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen\u2019s Tip:<\/strong>  <\/em>“After working with the Noteworthy Days collection all year, there hasn\u2019t been one month where I haven\u2019t been delighted with the options for my monthly layout! I suggest starting your monthly layout by looking at the colors in the stickers and then choosing your patterned papers to match. This sketch is super flexible in that you can substitute any basic shape you like as the embellishment \u201canchors\u201d \u2014 try circles, hexagons, tags, stars or hearts!<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Challenge #2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Collection Used: Winter Bliss<\/a> (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop <\/a>Australia<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen’s Tip:<\/strong> \u201c<\/strong>I loved the window paper and was able to trim strips to almost the same size as indicated on the sketch. They are a little short \u2014 1-1\/2″ instead of 1-1\/2″ \u2014 but they work just fine. This page comes together quickly and would make a great two-page spread if you created a second, mirrored page.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Challenge #4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Collection Used: <\/strong>Tropical Garden<\/a> (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop <\/a>Australia<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen\u2019s Tip:<\/strong> \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to use the bold pattern! This bright tropical floral paper is a showstopper, but it is<\/em> very strong. Balance it with a little white on one side and complement it with tonal papers in the same colors. And don\u2019t be shy about the embellishments \u2014 choose ones that are equally big and bright, because smaller, less bold ones will disappear on your page. Those with a white bleed around the edges will stand out even more!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Challenge #3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Collection Used: Gingerbread Fun<\/a> (Shop Canada<\/a> | Shop <\/a>Australia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noreen’s Tip: <\/strong>\u201c<\/strong>Another layout perfect for featuring a full sheet of your favorite bold and bright paper! Here, it is cut to span both pages, while a tonal paper and a solid cardstock provide some balance and contrast. I love cutting up sticker borders into smaller pieces and adhering them in a few different areas \u2014 they help draw the eye around the layout just like embellishment clusters do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
