How often to do you find yourself in need of a little teacher gift or a little something for a friend's birthday?  Well - check out these fabulous little notebooks that Deana made using the Maya Road Chipboard Album from our July Embellishment Add-On Kit along with the papers and embellishments included in our July Hip Kit(s).  She covered and embellished the chipboard pages and used them to make front and back covers for these great note pads.  She added some white lined notebook paper to fill them up and tied a ribbon to hold it all together.  Wonderful job Deana!

Check out these great projects by Cheryl Kelly-VanDomelen using the products included in our July Hip Kit & Add-On Kit(s).  She does a great job adding interesting little details to her projects.  I love how she used the banner stickers and twine to embellish the sun on her "Happy As Can Be"  layout.  Great job Cheryl!!!

We thought it would be fun to give our Design Team Members a sketch to use as inspiration for one of the layouts that they create using the contents of our July Hip Kit & Add-On Kit(s).  This month we used this great sketch from Lucy Chesna Designs .  These are the layouts that our Design Team Members created using Lucy's sketch as a blueprint.  Great job girls!  I also want to thank Lucy Chesna for allowing us to use her sketch.  :)

Here is a wonderful collection of projects created by Deana Boston using the products from our July 2010 Hip Kit & Add-On Kit(s).  She is the master of journaling and telling the story - but she does it without making her journaling look like it was an afterthought.  Her journaling is always a specific element to her layout.  Fabulous projects Deana!

Check out these projects created by Melanie Jarocki using the contents included in our July 2010 Hip Kit & Add-On Kit(s).  I love the stitching on her layouts - it is a fabulous finishing touch.  I also love how she utilized the navy border from the Jenni Bowlin Die Cut Paper and added another patterned paper to fill in the center.  Beautiful work Melanie!
