March Hip Kit layouts

What a fun mix of products the March Hip Kit is!

For this first layout I used Pencil Lines #179 for the design. DD #1 has such a happy smile and I loved finding a quiz that she had filled out, saying she was 100% happy with who she was. For the % sign I cut the "x" for the slant piece.

Lifted myself for this one :) I love getting lots of photos on one page.

For the banner I cut the red Prima paper with white dots into triangles then traced those onto the green cardstock and cut the shapes slightly smaller. My little secret? I didn't really string the whole banner together. Just overlapped the pieces and punched a hole in the end ones to tie the twine through. :)

This layout was inspired by Shannon Zickel. The Hip DT is using this LO by Shannon for inspiration on our 2-page layouts. Here is how mine turned out:

Since the pink Thickers didn't work with the colors I used the Cat's Eye ink pad from the add-on kit to color them. Oh, and the leaves behind the flowers--I cut those myself and then just copied the vein design from the Crate Paper patterned paper leaves. The green on the MME paper matched better. (disclaimer: I added some Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type letters since this was such a LONG title--thanks for those, Amy!)

These photos of Merek are some of my favorites from March! I love how he is holding his hands behind his back while he walks up and down the sidewalk. Kept this design pretty simple and linear. Oh, and I colored those pink Thickers again by using my Zig brown marker.

This is one of my favorite memories of our trip to Florida in February. I loved the lined paper for journaling and am so glad I got the whole story on there. These Prima papers really don't need much added to them, so again I kept the design simple.

Be sure to check out the Hip Blog over then next week to see all of the designers' work. I'll be working on my cards and mini-album the next few days. What a great kit!
