Hey friends! I have another layout to share with you that I made using the October 2018 Hip Kit Club kits*. For this page the challenge was to only use the main kit and incorporate fussy cutting. Luckily, the main kit is filled with papers that are perfect for fussy cutting! I knew right away that I would want to use some of the flowers on the beautiful Paper 03 from Paige Evan’s/Pink Paislee’s “Whimsical” collection, so I went ahead and cut a few out before I even knew what photo I was going to use.

I also cut out a lot of the hexagons from Paper 05 and arranged them on my page in a horizontal line. I wanted to keep my color scheme very bright and light, so I didn’t use any of the darker hexagon pieces and stuck mostly to pinks and yellows, mixed with a few purple and light green pieces. Behind some of the hexagons I used foam tape to add some more dimension. As for the embellishing, I added some stickers from the Whimsical cardstock sticker sheet for a tone on tone look, as well as some chipboard hearts from the 1Canoe2 Goldenrod phrase thickers sheet. The word “create” from that same sticker sheet was also used for my title and finally inspired the theme for this layout and the choice of the photo.
Since I didn’t want anything dark, I used a white pen to write my journaling on the hot pink hexagon to the left of my photo. That keeps the fell of the layout light and airy but still gives me the possibility to tell a little bit about the photo. Finally I added some paint splatters with some Color Shine and Shimmerz sprays, sprinkled some enamel dots from the Pebbles Along the Way collection around and added some machine stitching with gold thread.
I am very happy with how this layout turned out, especially because I probably wouldn’t have come up with this page design if I hadn’t had the challenge to use the main kit only and do some fussy cutting. Challenges like this can be really fun to get your creative juices flowing!
Hope you all have a great day!
