1. Hi Friends! I have a new layout to share with you today using the October 2021 Hip Kits and one of the October HKC Exclusive Cut Files. I was challenged to use border punches and create my background using the negative space of the cut file. I chose the floral pumpkin cut file and used the hollow center of the pumpkin to create my background.

I used different border punches and my patterned papers from the Main Kit to create a balanced but fun background for my pumpkin.

I chose a square photo of me and my best friend from the last time I saw her in Madrid in 2013 and created a cluster around it. I included some die cuts from the Embellishment Kit and clear flower stickers and chipboard stickers from the PL Kit. I added my journaling on a die-cut tag also from the PL Kit.

I Used the Friends wood veneer from the Main Kit for my title and a few leaves to finish the cluster on the right side of the page. The enamel dots in two different colors Main Kit gave the layout the finishing touches.

I hope this layout inspires you to grab those border punches from your stash and play with your October Kits. Please let me know if you have any questions.
