Hip Kit Club CT/ Real Life

Hi everyone!! I am here tonight to share another layout that I made using Hip Kit clubs March main kit and add ons. This months kits just keeps giving and giving! 

This picture is of my youngest daughter and my husband sitting in the hospital waiting for her to have surgery. All she wanted to do was cuddle. We managed to get some cartoons on, trying to keep her distracted for a bit while we wait, but it didn't work that well. The surgery before her ran long, so she was really hungry since she hadn't got to eat since midnight the previous night, oh I felt so bad!! You try telling a 3 year old you cant have anything to eat or drink all day, yeah her procedure got pushed till around 12:30 in the afternoon! Crazy!!

But it's now done and over with and shes doing better. Well she was, but now shes sick. :( poor baby! Anyways, back to the layout!

I grabbed the paper called ecstatic for my background, this paper is an exclusive to this kit and created by the lovely Kim Watson! Once I figured out my background, I moved on to the layering behind my photo. I grabbed the Pinkfresh Studio, Felicity, Flower Strings paper and cut apart the cut a parts lol. I loved the idea of using them for layering. I also grabbed the 6x6 Pinkfresh Studio paper pad that came in the Embellishment kit. 

I played with pieces of the Pinkfresh die cuts and the Pinkfresh washi stickers to add to the layering.

To finish off my layout I grabbed those cute little Pinkfresh puffy sequins and screen printed wood veneer, did a bit of sewing on my page, added my title with those beautiful American crafts greeny teal alpha stickers, I love them! I journaled a bit about the day and thanking God that things turned out ok. And that was it for this layout.

Hip Kit Club layout/ Oh happy day & Good times

Good morning everyone! I got my March kit and was so exited about it!! The exclusive papers created by Kim Watson are AMAZING! So beautiful and vibrant! So of course I grabbed a few of those to work on my 1st layout out of this kit with. 

I Started this layout with the sketch that Design Team member Ashley Horton created for Hip Kit this month. I loved it and then the papers added in with it, so great!

I flipped the sketch on its side to make it fit for what I was wanting to do and then started.

I grabbed 2 papers by Kim Watsons, Just Dream papers and started with those.

I used lots of the bits and pieces from the kits to finish this layout, most of the layout is made up of those pieces lol. I loved how the PinkFresh Studio papers and embellishments went to well with everything in this kit! And the great Basic Grey cork stickers are great!

I did a lot of layering of the ephemera for this layout as you can see and it really was a fast layout. I love when you can put them together so fast and be happy with it. I love when the mojo it flowing good!

There wasnt a ton to do with this layout and I loved that, theres a bunch on the page but it came together so fast it was great! 

Now if you havent already you need to jump over to the Hip Kit site and grab this kit quick before there gone, the kit it self is beautiful but you cant get the exclusive papers anywhere else either! And make sure to check out the Hip Kit blog for the Design team call and all the great work that the other designers do!!

Christmas morning / Hip Kit Club CT

Good morning everyone!! How is your Tuesday morning going?? And the 1st day of December??

I'm happy to share a layout with you today that I made using Hip Kit Clubs November kits. 

My background is form PinkFresh Studio, I loved that paper and didn't want to cut it up, so this was a perfect solution for me to using it! With this being the background, I didnt think it needed a bunch o f embellishing, well with that and the 9 photos I decided to use from last Christmas! lol

I matted my photos on an exclusive paper bu Kim Watson, I used another exclusive paper by Kim and a cutfile bu Nicole Nowodas to cut out the little snow flake. I added a bit of vellum and then started to embellish with the PinkFresh die cut pack. I added a few of the print and cut cut files by Kim Watson around the layout and a little of that beautiful gold washi by Freckled Fawn, that is just such a pretty washi!! I'm loving it!

And to finish it off, I used the October Afternoon alphas that came in the embellishment kit.

Like I said a pretty easy layout lol. 

I have to say Im pretty excited that today is the 1st day of December!! I am trying my 1st ever December Documented album! So I will be sharing that threw out the month as well!! Im so excited and a bit leery lol I want to stick to it and make sure I finish it! I've Made my foundation pages, so just making sure to get my pictures printed and little stories put it! 

Wish me luck!! And please come back by and check out my process with my December Documented album and my other layouts. And swing by the Hip Kit Club Blog and check out what all the talented ladies over there have been doing!

'Tis the season - Hip Kit club CT

Good Morning everyone and Happy Tuesday!! Im here today to share a layout I made for the Hip Kit Club creative team. Using the lovely November 2015 kits and the great cutfiles available for subscribers.

I love this layout!! lol. The papers that Kim Watson created are so amazing!! Its been so hard to cut into them but I have managed and man am I happy I did!! The background base is American Crafts Kraft cardstock from the cardstock kit, I layered a that pretty Christmas pudding paper by Kim ontop of it and sewed it down, again Im really loving sewing on my layouts. I love the look it gives, a bit more detail. 

I grabbed Bright Tinsel, also by Kim and used one of the cutfiles by Nicole Nowosad that says 'Tis the season to be Jolly.  I thought this totally fit for this layout. We were so happy, we'd been playing out in the snow for a good while, pulling the kiddos around on sleds and having snow ball fight and making snow angels. Everyone was so happy!!

I had already printed out and cut the print and cute files available in the shop by Kim Watson and I used them as layering pieces threw the layout along with cut little die cuts from Pink Fresh Studio, those came in the main kit. Along with the pretty silver foam glitter stickers created by Kim too!

I used another cut file created by Nicole Nowodas to cut out the vellum snowflakes and placed them around the layout. To finish it off I grabbed a few of the acrylic shapes from the Embellishment kit and layered them here and there around the layout and tucked some thread in some of the embellishment clusters.

I hope you enjoyed see what I made today and hope you some back and check out what else I make along the way! Head over to the shop and look at the beautiful December Daily kits that are available as well, with tons of exclusive products!!

Cold hands and Warm Heart/ Hip kit club CT

Hello everyone!! Hope this Tuesday is going well for you!?! Well Im going gaga over the November 2015 Hip Kit club kits!!! They are beautiful!! I dont know how but +Kimberly Hutchison always out does the last kit!!

There are so many exclusives in these kits its crazy!! Thanks to +Kim Watson , we have tons of beautiful papers, wood veneers, and OMG so much more, that she created for these kits!

I dove in the day I got them and created this layout of me and my hubby last winter playing in the snow. I had to play with the papers Kim Watson had made, there just to pretty not to! So I grabber this one, Oh what fun - Softly Falling. I thought the paper went great since we were outside playing in the snow!

Oh and yeah there are exclusive print and cuts and cut files on the Hip Kit site too!! And oh man did the ladies do fantastic on these too!! The cut files, like some of the other items in the kits are exclusive to Hip Kit Club. You can download some of the files by just being a member of the site, others you have to be a subscriber and they are all well worth it!!! I actually used one of the cut files on this layout and it was created by the lovely Kim Watson!!

I actually stared this layout by choosing the photo and then the background papers, and then I was like, hey I think Im going to sew on this lol. So I went to it. I sewed the white strip in the center and then all the way around the edges. And then i decided I wanted to use that beautiful cut file and thought hey lets sew that too! lol So I did and I think it worked pretty well, if I do say so myself :)

I grabbed my Pink Fresh Studio cardstock die cut pack and pulled a few things out of there, oh it was so hard not to use the penguin with balloons lol. I think he might be my Fav!! But I did manage to narrow it down to just a few things lol and then I grabbed my wood veneers from the Embellishment kit and a small tag from the Basic Grey Juniper Berry Tags that came in the main kit and started layering them behind the frame until I liked the way it looked.

Then I jumped to the other side and added a vellum tab diecut  that I cut out of the whit vellum from the cardstock kit, grabbed a Christmas tree from the Pink Fresh die cut pack, slid that behind the tab and placed the word December from the pack as well on the tab. And then I just had to at least use the squirrel, so I had it hold my little title lol, I figured one way to sneak the little guy in there!!

The kits are AMAZING though!! And theres also a December Daily kit up on the sire, its under November so that you can get them before December and be ready!! lol But there are TONS of exclusives in the DD too, you need to hurry over to the site and check them out!!
