Perfect HST Sampler Block 5: Hillcrest Star
It's May!! That means another Perfect HST Sampler block! This is Hillcrest Star.
This month's block is named after one of the streets I lived on as an undergrad at Michigan State University. My student days in East Lansing are among my fondest memories, and the house I lived in on Hillcrest Ave. for a few years was an absolute blast. I lived there with a bunch of my fellow journalism students and co-workers at the student newspaper, in a ramshackle old house that had seen its share of messes and parties. But we all loved it anyway ... especially since it was the scene of our own messes and parties! We even tried to spiff it up a little by painting some of the rooms (with stern warnings from the absentee landlord not to paint the windows shut). I wonder if that place has been painted since? 😂I hope some current students are enjoying it just as much as we did!
This is a fun block that really mixes it up as far as the different HST sizes within the block. It makes for a striking design that I think really stands out and makes the complete layout a bit more interesting!
