"Happy" Layout ~ Hip Kit Challenge

Recently, I participated in several challenges issued by the Hip Kit Club in their Facebook group. I have found it to be such a help in jumpstarting me into creating layouts again. Sometimes when you're stuck or haven't done something for a while, you need just that little bit of inspiration or push to get you going again.

This layout was from a challenge issued by one of the design team members, Marinette. Her challenge was to create a layout using a recipe of specific items. Here is the list of items:

4 patterned paper

1photo

5 buttons

1 Alpha for the title

1 Chipboard

1 tag

and one secret ingredient,

handwritten journaling

I took it on and created a layout using this photo of my niece, Brooklin. She was so proud of her medal she earned recently in track and I had to do a layout about it. It gave me the opportunity to add some journaling that I wanted to add and it just so happened, that was in the recipe! The journaling can be found on the pullout tag.

 I used some chipboard pieces from Pebbles and buttons...I haven't used buttons on a layout in so long! I have plenty of them in my stash so this gave me the opportunity to use them up!

I do have a process video of this layout and talk more about it. You can view it here if you'd like:

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
