Hip kit CT layout/ Oh, snow happy

Goof morning everyone! It is still cold here and we've actually had a really nice snow once, it didnt last long, about a day, but we had so much fun while it was here!! It actually made me think of my pictures from last year. So I went and dug them out and grabbed this one of my 2 daughters. They were having so much fun being pulled on a sled for the 1st time and the colors we perfect!! lol 

This layout came together in about 35 min. My youngest was napping, I had all the house work done, so I figured I would jump in to my scrappy room and see what I could do. I loved the Basic Grey, B-Side paper with those pretty light pink dots, I usually use a plain white background but I wanted to step out of my comfort zone a bit and I like the way it turned out. The light dots made it perfect, not to much for me lol. Then I grabbed some of the scraps I had left over from some of my other layouts and started layering. Oh and I just loved that calendar paper by Crate Paper!! It was perfect for putting the date and it looked cute!

After that I added a few strips from Crate paper  to the top and bottom and outlined everything with my zig pen. After that it was adding the title, American Crafts Crush thickers and one of the great exclusive vellum words. I added little hearts from the great Crate Paper 12x12 chipboard sticker sheet that we got in the main kit and the pretty little exclusive acrylic circles from the Embellishment kit.

We had so much fun last winter and this one was great too!! Not I have some more great memories to scrap! And I love how Januaries kits can work so many ways!!

Hip Kit club CT/ Love you Rose

Good morning everyone. I've been MIA for a weeks or so and I just wanted to say I'm sorry, I have been sick! And it has not been fun. But I'm back and I have a pretty layout that I created with this months January Hip Kits!!

My daughter is over 3 now and I hadn't scrapped this photo and when I saw the papers and embellishments in this kit, I knew I had found the right stuff to scrap it with! I used Crate paper, Hello,love My valentine paper for the background, I loved it, but I decided to tone down the background a bit with a piece of American crafts vellum from the Carsdstock kit and a little white wash on the top and faded it out towards the middle to made it look omber under the vellum. I just added a little bit of white paint to water to make it fade out just a little.

Next I grabber this beautiful cut file that the lovely Kim Watson made for the Hip Kit club this month. 

I used a lot of the pretty Crate paper Hello, love collection to embellish this layout. Everything was so pretty! And I loved all the gold!!

I added a a few touches from the My Minds Eye, My story brads sheet, with little messy clumps of gold thread here and there and those lovely Hip Kit exclusive acrylic confetti pieces from the Embellishment kit! 

I wanted this layout to be simple, but pretty, this was a special day and I wanted it to be shown that way as well. I love that my husband managed to get this sweet shot of me and her.

Well I hope you enjoyed my layout and I hope you share what you make with your kits too! and make sure, if you haven't already, head over to the Hip kit Club website and grab your January kit before there all gone and make sure you get next months kit too, Its GORGEOUS!!
