HI friends! For this weeks Hip Kit Club assignment, I got to work with the awesome January 2018 kits and a great sketch by fellow DT member Irit. Here is my take on the sketch:

Here is the sketch:

And here are a few close ups:

I did a little fussy cutting for the hearts! I followed the sketch pretty much -- except more photos. :-)   I used my hexagon punch and grabbed some black and white, yellow, green, and peachy-pink papers. I love these colors together!

I stitched around some of the hexagons, and added some butterflies and hearts around the page.

I used a HKC exclusive card from the PL kit -- but I fussy cut the important parts (the pears and the tea). This helped make the card work -- even with three photos. I also made a process video if that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon!

Hi friends! Sharing a little bit of MJ love on the {a flair for buttons} blog today!

I was actually able to combine three of my favorite things in this layout -- Color Cast Designs products, Shimmerz Paints, and flair from {a flair for buttons}! Here are a few close ups:

The 'love' comes from Color Cast Designs January release "Into You" set which can be found here.

I made a process video if that something that suits your fancy!

I used several shades of blue Shimmerz Vibez for this layout (Snow Way Man, Cold as Ice, and Frost Bite). You can grab them here.  If you mention my name at check out you will get a little extra something included in your order for free!

The flair I used came from the Phrases 1 Flair set.  I love the messy circles on the flair!

Hi friends! Here to share my most recent assignment for Hip Kit Club -- and a process video.  My assignment this week was to use the Main Kit only. I am using the 2018 January Main kit for this layout.  I started with a gorgeous cut file by Kim Watson -- available under the cut files tab here. 

I decided to go big or go home with this one and I cut it out as big as possible.  Then I backed it with the rainbow Hip Kit Club Exclusive paper found in the main kit (also designed by Kim Watson). I cut the cut file into two parts so that I have it go off the edge of the paper on two sides.

I stitched around the flower cut file with several colors of floss -- and I love how that turned out!!!

To finish off the layout, I used the Hip Kit Club exclusive die cut ephemera -- and then fussy cut a few extra flowers from the opposite side of that rainbow paper. I also added a few black and white elements from the Vicki Boutin stickers included in the kit.

I also made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy.

Thanks for stopping by -- see you again soon!
