Layout inspiration by team member Cheri using Websters pages

Team member Cheri Piles has created a great layout using the LADIES AND GENTS paper line by Websters pages.  She created this great layout of her daughter on her 17th birthday and these papers were just perfect for the occasion.



Here is a detail of all the Coco Ribbon where Cheri created a flower.

We love how she cut so many of the layers then poped them up using 3-d foam squares, there is so much depth created on this page. Inking around the edges also gives it more texture and depth.

She created her daughters name using the Teresa Collins Stampmaker machine, making this layout extra personal. For information on the machine please email us at info@thehensden.com.

Supplies used:

Tea Time paper as the base, Time of my life as the border, Die cut as the inset page, Framed Beauty trimmed out and as photo corners, Pretty Up as photo matt, Deluxe Journaling card set, Coco Lace flower, Small organza ribbon, Tim Holtz key holes, Donna's Gems, Ink, 3-d Foam Squares.
