NSD2016 Challenge #23: Scraplift Yourself

This challenge was presented by both Hip Kits Club and Mercy Tiara so I am hoping it is okay to use it for both. We needed to scraplift ourselves and an older layout we made. 

Below is the original layout:

And here is my new layout: 

NSD2016 Challenge #22: Layering

Another challenge all about layers. This one was from Hip Kits Club NSD Challenges. I made sure to take lots of pictures in the airplane and airport this time. I almost never do that and I end up having all of these papers and embellishments with planes that I can't use! 

NSD 2016 Challenge #21: Big Titles

There is only 2 hours left until these Hip Kit Challenges are due. I don't think I will make it! There are so many left. This challenge was to use a big title on a layout. 

NSD2016 Challenge #20: Recipe Challenge

Next up for the NSD Challenges at Hip Kits Club Forum is a Recipe Challenge. We had to use white cardstock, wood veneer, acetate or vellum die cuts, a doily, a vertical design, and black and white photos. 

It felt like a vertical design when I put it all down but now I'm not so sure. Oh well. Done this challenge! 

NSD2016 Challenge #19: Make a Grid

Hip Kits Club had a NSD challenge on their Facebook where you needed to use a grid on your layout. This is my response to the challenge, using various scraps, 2x2 cards, 6x6 papers, and bits and pieces left over from past kits. 

NSD2016 Challenge #18: Sketch Challenge

Today I started with a sketch challenge from the Hip Kits Club NSD Challenges. It had lots of triangles down the center and some square photos in the middle. 

I used a bunch of branding strips and scraps from my stash. I love using those scraps! 

NSD2016 Challenge #17: Using Stencils and Red and Blue

The Challenge was to use a stencil in two ways so I used a cotton ball and distress ink over this star stencil that was actually the trash from a board game after I took out all the star chips for the game. Then I used a pen and outlined all the stars. 

I kept two other challenges in mind when I pulled out the star stencil: Shimelle's challenge to use red and blue and Mercy Tiara's challenge to create a background. 

NSD2016 Challenge 16: Using Your Handwriting

This challenge from Hip Kits Club required us to use our own handwriting on a layout. I used mine by journaling on the backside of some packaging. I used up the rest of my April Citrus Twist Kit for this challenge. I still have some embellishments left over.  

NSD2016 Challenge #15: Focus on Yellow

The second challenge from Hip Kits Club NSD Challenges on Facebook was to use yellow as the primary color on a layout. I took out my April Citrus Twist Kit and there was quite a bit of yellow in it! Perfect. 

I love how there were no problems in Jamaica, "only a situation". I had never felt so relaxed!

NSD 2016 Challenge #14: Visual Triangle

This layout was made for an NSD challenge from the Hip Kits Club on Facebook. The Challenge was to use a visual triangle. I used the last papers from my May Counterfeit Kit on this one and now all I have left are a couple of embellishments. I suppose I will have to get out my April Hip Kit and use that for the rest of the Hip Kits Challenges!
