There are so many ways to live our lives, and so many ways to document them. With some assistance from the Hip Kip Club September main and embellishment kits, I assembled a mini-album designed to share a few glimpses of my life and the way that I live it.

As much as I fawn and sigh over practically every sheet of paper, every sticker sheet, and every die-cut accent that comes my way as a crafter, there are times when particular pieces don't mesh well with the color scheme or theme I have in mind for a project.

Just in time for spring, Hip Kit Club's March 2018 main kit is setting my scrappy heart aflutter. It's filled with butterflies -- as is my yard, so I included both on this layout: To create the background, I painted white cardstock with watercolors in caterpillar and butterfly hues, and then layered it over a sheet...
