Hi Everyone!

It is Kristin here with you today!  I have a layout to share with you that I made using our awesome September 2012 Hip Kit.  This kit is full of great fall colors that are perfect for your fall photos & other projects.  For our family, it is a tradition to go to the pumpkin patch every year.  This year we went to a different one and they had a fun hay ride pulled with an antique  John Deer tractor.  My grandpa was a wheat farmer in Kansas, so I have a special fondness for old John Deeres.   So, I  just had to snap a picture of my kids standing by the tractor.  I love the way that my photo coordinated so perfectly with all of the goodies in our this kit.To start with, I inked the edges of all of the papers with brown ink to give them a little extra contrast against the Walnut Grove wood grained background paper.  I matted all of the Harvest Lane stickers from our Embellishment Add-On Kit onto kraft cardstock and then inked the edges of these as well.  Then, I used pop dots to give a little dimension to the leaves & tree.  The little bird has two pop dots behind him so the he looks like he is resting on top of the tree.If you look really closely behind the tree, you will notice that I used the packaging from the Amy Tangerine Stamp Set that was also included in our Embellishment Add-On Kit this month.  I loved that the grid was orange and it matched perfectly with everything else on my layout.  Take some time and check out some of the product packaging in your kits  – you might just find something inspiring & useful there.  If you create a project using packaging…  post a photo of it on our Facebook page.  We always love to see the projects that you share!!!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration to use some of your fall pictures with our wonderful September Hip Kit.  Happy Scrapping!
