TGIF and Good Friday to you all. Today I have a layout share using the Hip Kits and it was so much fun to create. Here's my attempt at mixed media and it looks nothing like those I've been watching on YouTube. I used the Hip Kit from Jan and Feb 2016 (I believe). I was going for a monochromatic layout but couldn't stick to just blue. I also used some Glitter card stock (DCWV), 6x6 paper pad (Authentique), The yellow card stock is Stampin' Up and the Binding Edge punch (EK success). I tried the smooshing technique using the Heidi Swapp Gold and Teal color shine. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . Close up of elements. . I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration.

It's Saturday and although I had to work today I had an opportunity to create this layout using photos that were taken at JCPenny in June 2013. I love the way the photographer captured my son's happy side at just the right time because in realty he hates baths at the tender age of three. This layout uses the Feb. 2016 Hip Kit and I used a rotary stamp from Project Life/Becky Higgins to stamp 3 phrases in the bottom left corner. I will be using this layout in a Sketches in Thyme challenge. Take a look at the layout below and let me know what you think. . I do all of my journaling on the back of my layouts so as not to detract from the photos and elements used. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Hello and welcome to the post for today. I'm not sure I actually created a layout I wanted for this photo since it is so precious to me, but I think it came out pretty good.
