Hip Kit club CT/ Hello Best day ever!!

Hello everyone!! How was your Christmas?? I hope everyone had a great holiday! I had quite a bit of family around and we were busy and its still like that a bit,lol, it'll probably be that way till around New years!

Well I'm here to share another layout I made with this months Hip Kit Clubs December kits!!! These kits were so pretty! And I'm not done with them yet! And then we've already got to see January's kits and WOW! Another beautiful one!!!

But this week I made a layout with the cut file by Ashley Horton. It was just so pretty and looked like string art to me, I just love it! I altered the cut file a little bit so that I can keep it attached to the page and then backed it with a piece of Maggie Holmes, Shine, Divine paper from the main kit. I matted my goofy photo of me, my sister and my youngest daughter on a piece of white cardstock from the cardstock kit , then I backed it again with the other end of that Maggie Holmes Divine paper and I also cut a tab out of it with one of my punches. After that I grabbed my 6x6 paper pad that came in the embellishment kit and grabbed the paper with the cute little zebras on it. I sometimes have a problem in finding away to incorporate the cute little zebras into my layouts, but there cute and quirky and this layout is a bit quirky, so I figured why not!! and I was just so happy to use it!! I thought it was so cute!

I added a few strips of the stripped paper from the paper pad to and put a little bit of the American Crafts glitter tape in there, its so sparkly! I grabbed a doily from my stash and put it under my photo and adhered down the zebra paper and my picture and a piece of paper from the 12x12  bright paper by Maggie Holmes under one of her wooden frames and added best day ever to the opposite side. 

I was almost done, I did a small amount of sewing and then grabbed the 12x12 chipboard sheet from the main kit and used a few pieces form that, those flowers and hearts are just so cute!! I also added a flower from the ephemera pack that came in the Embellishment kit too. And to finish it off I grabbed a few gold glitter stickers off of the American Crafts, Beautiful thickers. I love the gold glitter in these, so pretty!!

Well I hope you enjoyed my layout and I hope you head over to the Hip kit site and check out the beautiful kits that Kimberly puts together and join in on the fun!! Dont forget to head over the the Hip Kit Club blog and see what all of the talented ladies are making with the kits too!!

Hip Kit CT/ Happy Moments

Good morning everyone! I hope all is well with you all!

I've had a ruff few days here, sick kids and hubby. But I did get a chance to jump back into my December Hip kit and make a layout.

I loved this Studio Calico, Goldie paper as soon as I saw it. The first thing I did to it was adding stitching along the lines and separating all the triangles. I had already decided what picture I wanted to use and that I wanted it in the center of the page, do I added a few sewn circles to where I knew it would be under the picture and any layering I was going to do.

I grabbed a the pretty fountain blue American Crafts card stock from the card stock kit and ran it threw my Silhouette, using one of Nicole Nowosads cut files from this month. I threw a piece of the white vellum from the card stock kit on there as well and cut some pretty little snow flakes out, with another of Nicole's cut files from last month.

I also used Kim Watsons print and cut for this months kit to add a little layering and bits and pieces here and there.  I thought these were just gorgeous! The colors matched perfectly, just like they always do! And they were so cute! I loved the Hiya Life one, I just had to use it.

I used some of the white card stock from the card stock kit, ran it threw my silhouette using another of Nicoles cut files and placed the frame around my picture, along with the one with stars cut out of it. That was the majority of this layout, its really quite simple but I love it. I added a few pieces of paper from the Maggie Holmes Shine 6x6 paper pad that was in embellishment kit and one of Kim Watsons project life cards she created for this kit. I use Kims PL card as my title, Happy moments. Because this was a fun day for us. It was our youngest daughters 1st time building a snow man, or helping lol and she loved it and loved the snow.

The rest of  the kids had a blast too, they love the snow! There a bit disappointed that we haven't had any yet this year lol. I did use Missy Whiddens technique of putting messy bunches of thread around the layout, in the little clusters I made.

Well I really hope you enjoyed this layout and head over to the Hip kit blog to see what the other ladies have created with this fantastic kit!! And please feel free to subscribe to my page so you dont miss anything!! 

Thanks so much!
