Check out these great layouts created by our Guest Designer - Danielle Flanders showcasing the products included in our February Hip Kit & Add-On Kit.  I love the doily she used on her "Chicks" layout.  She sprayed it with Glimmer Mist to make it a perfect accent for her page.  Fabulous job Danielle.

Hi, my name is Danielle Flanders and I currently live near Saratoga Springs, NY (home of the famous Saratoga Horse Racing Track) with my husband and our 2 daughters, Taylor who is 10 and Kati is 4. I grew up in South Dakota and still consider myself a midwest girl at heart and miss the wide open spaces and slower pace. I do hope to move back some day! My style is somewhat girly and shabby, but yet with clean lines and color. Buttons, ribbons, stitching and the color pink are my addictions when it comes to scrapbooking! I guess that's what happens when you have two daughters. Let's see, what else.I have a degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology and also a K-8 elementary teaching degree, however I stay at home with my girls right now and love every minute I get to spend with them. My creative time seems to be late at night after it's quiet.I'm definitely a night owl. I am currently designing for Pink Paislee, Jenni Bowlin, Tattered Angels and Melissa Frances. Thank you so much for having me as guest designer this month!
 

Here is a collection of cards that she has created using the contents of our February Hip Kit & Add-On Kits.  I love the pocket on her "Why" card, and stitching on her "Buzzing By" card.  

More projects from Danielle coming soon!!!  Make sure to check back.  In the meantime, check out Danielle's blog :  http://danielleflanders.blogspot.com/  ;-D

Check out this fabulous collection of layouts and cards created by Deana Boston using the products in our February Hip Kit.  These projects are a prime example of how much you can do with our main kit!  I love the folded details of her "So Dear" & "So Cute" layouts.  They add such interesting details to her projects.  Beautiful work Deana!!!  :-D

**(This layout includes glitter alphabet Thickers and ribbon that were not included in our Hip Kits(s).  Unfortuntely - Deana's Kit Package was incomplete - we accidentally omitted her Add-On Kit and Ribbon.  She used alphabet stickers and ribbon from her own supplies to finish this layout.)

Check out our March Hip Kit & Add-On Pack Sneak Peeks!  Fabulous products from Prima, Crate Paper, My Mind's Eye, and American Crafts.  Our Embellishment Add-On Kit includes a great chipboard album with envelope pages from Maya Road!  If you want extra patterned paper our Patterned Paper Add-On Pack will fit the bill.  Want some additional coordinating cardstock colors?  Make sure to reserve our Cardstock Add-On Pack.  All of the Add-On's are in limited quantities - when they are gone they're gone.  Make sure to email us or call us to reserve yours soon.  (phone 425-396-1277 or email kimberly@hip2bsquarescrapbooking.com)  Kits will be ready by Thursday, March 25th.

Check out these fabulous layouts and cards created with our February Hip Kit and Add-On Kit(s).  Cheryl does a great job layering and incorporating dimensional elements into her pages and cards.  I also love the machine stitching!  Stitching adds that little bit of texture and detail to projects.  If you have a sewing machine gathering dust - I encourage you to pull it out and put it to use!!  You will love the effect that it gives to your projects.  Thanks Cheryl for your great work.
