March 2013 Hip Kit… Four cheery design team

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are having a good weekend so far.  Here in the Seattle area it is almost 80 degrees and sunny.  Today I have a collection of great “sunny” projects created by our amazing designers using our March Hip Kit & Add-On Kits.  Enjoy!!!

Bethany Crowell created these two cheery cards.  She has a knack for cardmaking…  each and every one of her cards are have a perfect combination of papers and accents.  How happy would you be if you got one of these sweet cards in your mailbox?

This layout is by Cindy Stevens.  I love the bright cheery colors and the whimsical design.  Using a black and white photo is a great idea when you are using colorful products.  This little trick allows your photo to stand out and be the focus of your page.Notice how Cindy added the white Jillibean diecut Placemat to the white cardstock to create an interesting foundation for her page.  She also hand stitched around the inside perimeter of a few of the honeycomb shapes with white floss.  This is a nice detail that adds a little extra texture to her page.The Amy Tangerine Daybook (from our March Embellishment Add-On Kit) has lots of interesting pages that can easily be used as accent layers on your scrapbook layouts and cards.  The chevron stripe vellum page layered under the photo is one of the pages from that book.

Mel Blackburn created this next layout using another sweet photo of her baby girl.  Mel’s pages always have an artistic flair to them.  I love the patchwork background and the machine stitching gives it a nice finished look.

Thanks for visiting again today!  I hope you are feeling inspired to do some creating of your own today.  Tomorrow I will have another collection of projects created with our March Hip Kit to share with you.  So, make sure to stop by to check them out.  Have a scrappy day!  xo – Kimberly –
