Hey guys, Kate Kennedy here with a layout using the August hip kit. I love this kit so much. But I am doing a 9x12 layout which I know sounds weird, but I do project life in a 9x12 album. And I've been putting a 9x12 layout of our puppy Ellie every week as she grows. So I wanted to do one with this kit and this is her 16 week layout or whatever. So I've just started with some white card stock and then I've taken that Suyo Calico grid paper and made it so that covers the top and then some papers from Pinkgrass Studio and Amy Tangerine and matted the photo. And then I cut a little piece of that wonder specialty paper and put a strip of it underneath the grid paper just to kind of give it a little break in the layout. And so I'm just going to matte the photo with just standard you know, cutting each layer a little bit larger. And then from the Wonder ephemera box I have taken that yellow felt heart which is so cute. It does end up making it on the layout but in a different place. And then I also have that rubber charm from Pinkgrass and that does not end up making it. So I'm just taking the sticky off the back of the shipboards that I can move it around and stick it on my photo and it won't mess it up if I decide to move it somewhere else. And I've also taken two little hearts from this Steelersy Chipboard, a yellow one and a pink one. And both of those are going to end up on the layout just not where they are right now. And then this little remember this puppy sticker put from Pinkgrass also ends up making it to the layout. So at first I thought I was going to make my title be cute at 16 weeks but I decided it was too much so I just am making the title 16 weeks and I'm using the Dear Lizzy, their gold foil stickers but their foam and they're so awesome. I love them. So I'm making the title 16 weeks and then I feel like that space at the end of the title needs something there. So I'm going to put this yellow felt heart and then also that chipboard pink heart and I'm going to put some foam underneath that just so that it sticks up a little bit. And that's what I'm doing now is cutting the foam I think small enough to go. Oh I'm using a glue dot like a thick glue dot because the foam was a little bit too thick. And then I'm going to glue down this yes chipboard and put a little bit of foam on one side of that also and then the yellow heart chipboard heart I'm going to slide in underneath there and I'll add a little bit more to that cluster later in the process. And now I am what am I doing? Looking for something else. I'm going to add yeah this little it says love this and then I'm going to add a little black heart to the other cluster and then I'm going to slide it's actually says remember this but I just want to say remember so I just slide that puppy sticker underneath the layers of the photo mat. And I thought about just leaving it as it is and then maybe adding some journaling but I decided to break into this jersey washi tape which is awesome and it has a little strip of numbers so I thought that would be fun because it's you know kind of as she grows and I'm going to put a little bit of that on the left hand side and then I'm going to add some kind of spotty pink washi tape from another part of that roll on the top right hand side and then a little tiny bit right above that cluster on the left upper left hand corner of the layout also just to kind of balance it out. I I like to put washi along edges of paper for some reason. And that little black dot in the bottom right hand of the picture by the heart is our other dog jack's nose because he was busy trying to be in the in the photo. So I like the idea of making a little banner across this this here the break in the paper and I saw missy from the design team do a similar banner out of this these acetate triangles and I thought it was a great idea so I'm going to run the triangle through my zyron sticker maker y'all have seen me do this before with these and it just makes it so that you can't see the adhesive which is great. The the larger size one it's like that blue one won't fit so I'm just going to use a little bit of glue on the top part of it because I'm sticking it underneath the valum so you can't really see the adhesive anyhow and I'm just going to fuss with those for a minute to try to get them spaced just right and I like that that kind of breaks it up a little bit and doesn't makes it look more finished I think I think there was almost too much white space if that's possible we don't know I love white space but it's kind of a different size to work with because you have the full 12 inches height wise but you only have nine and a half width wise so it's kind of I mean nine it's kind of a tricky size to do a layout but I really like I really like it so I'm just going to stamp the date in the upper right hand corner and that is going to finish the layout so here are some close-up pictures make sure to check out the September kits they are awesome thanks guys so much for watching and I'll see you all real soon bye
