September Hip 2b Square Projects

Lots of fun scrapping our back-to-school pictures this month with the September Hip Kit. I cannot believe my oldest is in middle school this year! The Basic Grey Wander stickers really helped add that extra-fun touch to this layout. And the Pink Paislee rub-ons were perfect to fill-in a few "need something" spaces.
These two had the craziest-patterns on their clothes. I wasn't really sure what to do with these photos without turning them black and white. But I think putting the cardstock circle behind the photos, and the neutral patterned paper at the bottom it turned out ok.
I made this sketch for the DT to use on their 2-pager this month.

Here is my layout with the sketch. I used our photos from the Rodeo we went to over Labor Day weekend. The brown twine was perfect for the "lasso" around the circle by the title.
The design for the last layout is one I've used several times. I love it for two 4x6 photos--one horizontal and one vertical. Love the versatility of using the same design, just with different products.


I'll post my cards and travel journal Thursday. Be sure to check out the Hip Blog for a great tutorial on distressing and for the rest of the design teams projects :)
