September 2012 Hip Kit… A fun fall

Hi Everyone!

It is Melanie here with you today. 😀 I have a fun layout to share with you that I created with our awesome September Hip Kit.  This page features a few photos that I snapped of my daughter on her 1st day of crossing guard duty. (I just had to capture this moment for posterity). haha…

I used the bright orange Thickers in our main kit for my the title.  They matched her crossing guard flag perfectly.  I backed my title with navy cardstock to help it stand out from the woodgrain background paper.  (Thanks for the tip, Cindy!).  Then I added a tree sticker from the Harvest Lane Fundamental Sticker Sheet that was included in our Embellishment Add-On Kit.  Using pop dots behind it to gave it some dimension.  To “ground” the tree onto my page -  I added a border along the bottom of my layout using the yellow scallop ribbon.I have to say that I absolutely love all of the stars in this kit!  Between the October Afternoon die cut stars and the Studio Calico Mistable Stars -  I was able to find the perfect finishing touches for my page.

I hope you are feeling inspired to create something wonderful today!  Thanks so much for visiting.  Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see another great project created with our September Hip Kit.  xo – Melanie
