All of the fun Crate Paper Notes & Things cards in the ephemera pack, included in our August 2014 Hip Kit & Add-On Kits, are perfect for creating a grid design. I started my design by placing the large Be Happy card in the top left hand corner and went from there. I love those Gold Buckaroo Thickers, so I used them to create a large title for my layout. I added in some stickers and cork embellishments from the Shimelle collection and used one of the Brighton Pier Masks from our August Color Add-On Kit to finish off my layout.

There is so much variety in the August 2014 Hip Kit & Add-On Kits, and I love that all of my layouts and cards have a unique look. For this card, I wanted to use the Shimelle diagonal Black & White paper for my card background. Then I mixed in some softer colors with the Teal and light Salmon. I created a photo theme for this card, by mixing the Transparent negative frame with one of the cork pieces from the Shimelle collection and the Captured tag from the Crate Paper Notes & Things ephemera pack. Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I will be back next Wednesday with another of projects created with our August Hip Kits.  xo – Ashley H –
