Hip Kit Club: Dream & Go Layout


Hello friends! The September kits from Hip Kit Club had a completely different vibe from July and August, and that is not a bad thing! This kit is filled with more tone down colors, not as bright, but still just as fun. You will find shades of purple, violet, pink, magenta, green, orange, and yellow.

Dream & Go Layout

I started this layout by layering the "hello" patterned paper on top of pink paper. I wanted something different, so I saw the purple striped patterned paper, and trimmer a few pieces off to make an "x". I added stitching to my "x".


I layered several papers behind my photo and added it my layout. The kit came with pink crepe streamers. I placed that at the bottom of my page topped with the pom poms that also came with the kit.


I added floral and bigger ephemeras around my photo. I added my date and titles.


I finished my layouts with enamels and wood enamels.

Hip Kit Club: Hello Layout


Hello friends! The Hip Kit Club's August kits were just as fun and beautiful as the July kit. The theme of this kit were citrisy, vibrant, bright, with a few pinks. Here's my creation and I hope you will love!

Hello Layout

For this layout, I wanted to incorporate all my favorites, which are bright colors, cheery, and a dog. I was still in the mood to play with mixed media, so I decided to white gesso to this polka dotted background. The first thing I wanted to make sure my layout has was that "hello" sentiment from the kit. From there, I chose all the papers and embellishment that gave that same vibe as the sentiment.


I layered patterned paper after pattern paper to my photo. I added the "hello" sentiment, and played around from there.


This is where the fun begins. I added the tags, labels, and banner. I finished the layout off with those vellum hearts from the kit along with enamels. Hope my layout gave you a BRIGHT inspiration.

Everleigh Hope: Sunshine Layout


Hello! Hello! It's Wednesday, and I have a scrapbook layout to share with you using the March kit, Daffodil.

Sunshine

I started this layout using a white solid cardstock for the background. Then, I layered on the cloud paper and rainbow paper to the right side of my page. I also framed my photo with the leaf paper along with the polka dot paper.


Next, I added the tags and labels to the top of my photos, and near the bottom left corner. After that, I added the hearts and rainbows along with my journaling to my page. I added some stitches here and there.


Last, I used my electronic cutting machine to cut out two Everleigh Hope's daffodils, and attached them to my page. Hope you love my page and don't forget to check out all of Everleigh Hope's collections!

Pretty Layout


It's Wednesday. Life's been a bit rough these past days, but God is helping me hang in there.. I believe that God allows things to happen for a reason, and sometimes (or, most of the time) we might not understand it. As I reflect my past, I start to see why God allow certain things to unfold, and His reasons are always perfect even if we don't understant it during that time. So, if you're having a hard time today or been having a hard time, just know this: YOU ARE LOVED (by God), God understands you, and keep hanging on. He will take care of you as long as you believe in Him. It will work out.

For this layout, I did a bit of mixed media once I figured out where I wanted my photo. I learn my lesson from the past, so I added gesso and let that dry before anything. This step is necessary if you are using normal cardstock. It helps prevent paper buckling, and provides stability. As for technique, I used the kissing technique where you add a little bit of paint to a sheet of plastic or something sturdy, and water it down just a little bit. You flip the plastic over the top of your page and gently smoosh the colors unto our layout, pick it up, move it around, and do it all over again. I used 3 different colors for this layout. Sometimes, people add all three colors on the sheet of plastic, but I did color by color. I just find that I have more control over the colors, and able to add more color easier this way.




I typically start to layer my photo(s) with pattern papers throughout my layout. However, I only use a small torn sheet at the top left of my page.


Last, I played around with embelishments and added a diecut doily to the back of my photo.
