Hello everyone! It’s Terhi here with my second layout with May Hip Kits. This layout features goodies from almost every May Kit – stamps from May Project Life Kit, white cardstock and vellum from May Cardstock Kit, paints and stencils from May Color Kit, Pink Paislee chipboard accents from May Embellishment Kit and the rest is from the May Main Kit. I even used the plastic pack you get your Hip Kits – if you want to know how, just watch the video below! Using recycled items is one thing I love about mixed media, your imagination is always the limit.

After creating a layout, I often have a worktable covered with scraps and leftovers. Instead of cleaning the desk by putting things away I like to do some easy cards to give away. These two took just about 5 minutes each and the techniques I used were just about the same than in the video above. Layered papers, some thread and mists of the top. These were made for our children daycare teachers as a thank you cards: Left one says “Wonderful!” ja right one says “Thank you” in Finnish.

I hope you feel inspired and find your own way to use leftovers! Enjoy the video!

Terhi xx
