Check out these fabulous layouts created by Melanie Jarocki using the contents in our March Hip Kit & Add-On Kit(s).  I love the pennant banner on her "First Day of Spring" layout.  What a great way to create an interesting eye-catching title.  Melanie is a master of hand-cutting details out of the patterned papers to create custom embellishments for her projects.  Also, notice that she changed the color of the chipboard alphabet on her "Lake Pennekamp" layout from pink to green using the chalk ink pad in her Embellishment Add-On Kit.  Beautiful layouts Melanie!!!

***This layout was inspired by a layout created by Shannon Zickel

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 these fabulous layouts and cards created by Melanie Jarocki using the contents of our February Hip Kit and Add-On Kit(s).  We started offering a Cardstock Add-On pack this month which includes 2 sheets each of three additional colors of cardstock that coordinate perfectly with our main kit.  We also added a Patterned Paper Add-On pack which includes an extra sheet of each patterned paper included in our main kit.  This will help those who like to do double page layouts.  We are also continuing to offer our Embellishment Add-On Kits to kick things up a notch by adding more texture and dimension to your pages.  All of our Add-On Packs are optional - but if you see one you like - all you have to do is email me at kimberly@hip2bsquarescrapbooking.com to reserve yours.  :)

Melanie includes some simple details on her layouts that add so much.  If you have a sewing machine at home - pull it out and put it to use.  Machine stitching adds such a great touch to any project.  She also does a lot of detailed hand-cut borders and embellishments.  This can add great detail to your projects for practically no cost at all.  As always - Melanie, you never disappoint us!  Great job.

Check out these beautiful layouts created by Kristin Kingrey using the products included in our January 2010 Hip Kit & Add-On Kit!  I love her "Samantha" layout.  That is a perfect example of the old adage.  "less is more".  Simplicity at it's best!  Great job Kristin!

Check out these great layouts created by Kristin Kingrey using the products included in our December 2009 Hip Kit & Add-On Kit.  I love the Basic Grey Chipboard Alphabet!!!  It is a fabulous addition to her "Christmas Thang" layout.  Good job Kristin!

This collection of cards and layouts were created by Melanie Jarocki using the contents of our January 2010 Hip Kit & Add-On Kit.  I love how your eye starts at the upper left corner and travels clear across the page ending in the lower right corner.  This is the mark of great composition!  Awesome job Melanie!!!

Check out these great layouts and cards created by Cheryl Kelly-Van Domelen using the products in our December Hip Kit and Add-On Kit.  She did some really unique things on her Gingerbread House layout.  Lots of texture and dimension in all of her projects.  Great job Cheryl!

Check out this fabulous collection of layouts and cards created by Melanie Jarocki using the contents of our December Hip Kit & Add-On Kit.  I love the "Wonder of Nature" layout.  She used a bunch of punched out circles to create the scalloped border, and using the brown ink pad to distress the edges of each little circle made the layering effect stand out.  Melanie also does a great job incorporating a lot of photos onto her pages without having her layouts look over crowded.  Great job Melanie.  Your layouts really captured all that this festive time of the year had to offer!
