Sunday Hip Kit Club layout & Card

Hey y'all! It's me with this weeks Sunday with Mandy projects from my post on the Hip Kit Club Blog you can read the full post HERE.
I absolutely love this new Echo Park line!! The colors and patterns are fabulous!! I did some layering and stitching which you can read about on the link above. This wasn't exactly the photo I planned to use but I like how it turned out so it's a winner :) 

A fun and fast card created with leftover scraps from the layout above. Again the colors!!!

I've survived the weekend from Hell! OMG it's been a doozy. Let me just share the Facebook status to give you an idea.

Off to bed. Maybe a rambling Monday post.

Hello Summer

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing my last 2 projects created for Evalicious. The last few months creating with Eve's products have been fun and I suggest when she has her new dt call in the fall y'all apply!!  

 
One thing I really loved about creating with the Evalicious products for the last few months was that  no matter how old or new the paper I was creating with her product still works, it's like that little black dress. On this layout I used old Sassafras Lass pattern paper.

I had a basic simple design in mind when I started creating this layout. I wanted to stick with just a few colors and I made a I searched through my Evalicious products I pulled all those colors that fell into the the scheme. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.  
Thanks for joining me today!

Right Now - Hip Kit Club

Hey y'all! Taking a minute from this busy crazy week to share this recent layout and tag created with the awesome June Hip Kit club kit. Having so much fun working with Kimberly and the design team over the. Love the kit they are totally up my alley every month. Really excited about July!!  

This layout was really simple and easy to create. I say that a lot I guess but I'm that kind of scraper it has to be simple and easy. 
 Usually we create a card and layout weekly for assignments but sometimes cards bewilder me and I can see you rolling your eyes now saying what? but seriously sometimes I just can't do the card thing so I opt for tags. I've always loved tags no matter how my style, love for layouts or minis etc has changed I've always loved creating tags. This week I decided forget the card I'm making a tag because the card just wasn't working for me. This tag was snap snap and done. You can see my blog post with 5 tips/tricks on the Hip Kit Club Blog.

Off to try to figure out how to get the girls new show to work online since we missed it the other night. wish me luck.

Speaking of projects today I am sharing a 12x12 layout I created for the hop. I used the June Hip Kit Club kit featuring Elle's Studio Shine collection. 
Hello There a cheeser layout about myself. Journaling is about how I perk myself up after doctor appointments by taking photo booth shoots in the car with the phone app. 
I think the veneer of the Elle's Studio Shine collection are so cute not only for summer but for other projects like how I've used them on this page. By tucking the lemon slice under a few layers it almost looks like a viewfinder or movie reel and fits my photo booth photos. 
I love the colors of both the Hip Kit June kits and the Shine collection. The colors and patterns on these papers totally fit the story I was trying to tell about how my moody changes from not so great to ok.

And Today is Brought to By the Letter H

That's right y'all this post is brought to you by the letter H as in Hip Kit Club! I am delighted to share
I was in TjMaxx shopping for luggage when I got the message from Kimberly asking me to join her team to say I got little happy was an understatement I got all giddy and did a little dance enough of a show that a store employee came to see if I needed help. "Uh nope just trying to decide if I need this extra bag to go with these 2, oh I can see you're happy about those 2 so you should get the bigger too." I device against the bigger but I did wear a huge smile the rest of that rainy day! 

I truly think these kits are a perfect match for me and my style of scrapbooking. I love how Kimberly's(the owner) mind works it's like she can see my wants list and puts it together in kits. 

JUNE 2014 EMBELLISHMENT KIT
I love that the kit and add-ons are affordably priced and will fit any scrappers style. 

JUNE 2014 COLOR ADD-ON KIT
The color kits have me thinking outside the box and I love that. I'm excited to share what I have in mind for this months Heidi Swapp Mini Stencils. 

JUNE 2014 STAMP ADD-ON
One thing that I think stands out about the stamp add-on with Hip Kit Club is that K usually includes some sort of supply to use with the stamp like ink or embossing powder. so cool. 

JUNE 2014 PATTERN PAPER ADD-ON


June 2014 Add-On CARDSTOCK 

I'll be back soon to share some sneaks using these awesome kits! Thanks for letting me share my exciting news and if you have time take a look at the fabulous kit Kimberly puts together I know you'll love them!
