Hey, friends!  Missy back with you today, and I have a new layout to share using the gorgeous 2016 May Hip Kits.  I seriously cannot get enough of these amazing papers & embellishments!  This week we are featuring pages about our pets or furry friends, and these photos are of my daughter riding horses at her school.  I started with one of Kim Watson’s exclusive papers available in the Main Kit & Paper Kit.  I knew I wanted to use that colorful floral Illustrated Faith paper, so I fussy cut out a few flower clusters.  I only added a little bit of Shimmerz No Yoking Coloringz from last month’s Color Kit to my background because I felt the orange and pink areas gave this layout a “mixed media” feel to it without adding any extra.

I used the Jeni B Bleu & Spun Sugar Shimmerz and the exclusive stencil from the Color Kit to create these fun little clouds.  I smudged the Dazzlerz on with a palette knife over the stencil, I sprayed the ink right on top of the stencil, and I also flipped it over and stamped it.  I fussy cut all the clouds out and spaced them around my photo.  I also machine stitched through them.

I layered in a Bella Blvd chipboard piece under my left photo, and used some pink Shimmerz from my stash and a gelato to color this other Bella chipboard piece.  Those awesome words are in the Embellishment Kit.  I combined the Bella alpha stickers from the Project Life Kit to create my title.

I love these cute Simple Stories chipboard frames!  This one fit perfectly over my photo, and I used one of the exclusive die cuts on top of it.  Those puffy stickers are exclusives this month, and they are in the Embellishment Kit.

Here’s a closer look at the title area and some of the beautiful fussy cut flower paper.  Aren’t these colors just so delicious?!

You can check out my process video if you’d like to see how this layout came together.  I hope you are inspired in some way!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
