It is Melanie here today, and I have a couple of really fun projects that I want to share with you.  Both of them were created using our May Hip Kit.  I love the bright colors!  They make me happy just looking at them!

The 1st project that I want to show you is a super sweet card.  The Dear Lizzy banner sticker inspired me to use it as a definition for my card.  I absolutely LOVE the blue gingham ribbon–so soft and the perfect addition to  my card.  Don’t you think this card could brighten up someone’s day?

My 2nd project is a layout that I created using the honeycomb patterned paper by Echo Park.  This one was very “me” as I love to fussy-cut elements for my projects.  This patterned paper was perfect thing for me to take my scissors to! 🙂

I backed the photo with the herringbone paper and a thin cardstock mat to make it stand out from the yellow background.

Adding in the Dear Lizzy heart-border stickers helps keep the eye moving around the page.

I cut out a few extra hexagons and used dimensional adhesive to pop them up off the page. I did the same thing behind the title banner. This added a nice touch to my page.
