Happy Birthday Card

Created by Janet G. Bagnall

Happy Friday - WOO-HOO :)  I hope you are all ready for the weekend.  I know I am because I'm going to do a lot of creating the next few days.  When Charlie asked us which kit we would like to receive for this month's projects, I looked at the store and Teresa Collins' Memories line kept calling me and am so glad this is the one I picked, because it is lovely.  The colors are just adorable and I love the embellishments that go along with it.

My great friend Nancy celebrated her birthday this week and when I was showing her this kit after it came into the office, I knew I was going to use these goodies for a card for her.  I am really pleased with how it turned out and do believe it went over well :)

I hope you guys have a great weekend and hope you head over to The Hens Den to take a look at the great items Charlie has waiting for you.

Egg-stra-ordinary Easter Layout

IT'S HERE!!!!

2013 Chic Sketch #2 by (me) Lori McClellan

So, without further ado......Here is my take on the sketch, one step at a time.

 

(2) 12 x 12 pages, with a shared, square houndstooth, accent layer. 

 A big strip across the top where I am going to put the pictures.  (Polka dots make me happy!!)

 Another strip below it using the cute flower paper.

 Woops, I lost a few of the inbetween pics, but I added a second strip of gray with tiny white dots, white lace and then the pictures of my cute kids in their Egg shaped glasses.

I designed the title and cut it out of vinyl.  I added more embellishments and some journaling.  Simple, yet the simplicity allows the photos to be the focal point of the layout.

So are you ready to whip out your supplies and make a layout?  When you do, be sure to share it on The Hens' Den facebook page.  We will be picking 2 of you to be guest designers and your work could be shown here on the blog!!!  I'm not even kidding when I say I am SO EXCITED to see what your take on the sketch will be.

Nosegay of Happiness 

Created by Moriah Macdonald

 

Happy Monday Everyone! OMG!  I adore this new Memories line from Teresa Collins!!!!!  The colors are so peaceful and they make for such elegantly versatile cards. :)  The best part is that this card probably only took 15 minutes to make- 7 of which were deciding which flowers to use. LOL!

Who doesn't love to get flowers, unless you are allergic! This little nosegay card is perfect for that- no sniffles and you get a flower too. :)  The perfect kinda "just cuz" card.  Don't underestimate the importance of those "just cuz" cards.  We tend to wait for holidays or birthdays to send cards, but the unexpected joy that you get from that piece of art mailed from a friend for no other reason than to say "hey friend".  Its a hug via the mail and it feels sooooo good! 

From the pile-o-goodies above, I used these to make the Happiness Nosegay card:

May Arts- Crochet Ribbon- Baby Blue
Teresa Collins- Memories- Die Cut Flowers
Teresa Collins- Memories- Brads
Teresa Collins- Memories- Chipboard & Buttons
Teresa Collins- Memories- 6x6 Pad

So, who is the lucky person you will mail a hug to today?

A New Chic Sketch for The Hens' Den designed by Design Team Member: Lori McClellan

Hey there Peeps!  Don't you just LOVE all the new CHA goodies?!?!?  Charlie sent me a box-o-fun full of fabulous treats from the new Teresa Collins Memories line.  EEEEEEKKKKKK!

This month we are all sharing our take on the New Chich sketch from The Hens' Den, created by Design Team Member Lori McClellan!  Combining her newest awesome sketch with my Teresa Collins stash and you have...

Design Team Member, Lori McClellan is uber talented and she came up with a 2 page sketch.  For this card, I used the left side, but my DH wants me to try the right side too.  He had an idea for how he thought a card using the right side might look. :)  Maybe I should have him make that card and share it with all of you! :)

Rather than photos, I used the stamped calendar & layered flower with chipboard wording.  Instead of layering paper pieces on the background, I used Teresa Collins stamps and then added a ribbon bow in lieu of flowers in the middle.  Trying to think a little outside the box and still respecting the Chic Sketch at the same time.  That's the great thing about using a sketch as a jumping off point.  It really makes you stretch yourself to, as Tim Gunn says, "make it work".

It's easy to look at a sketch for a layout and think "layouts only".  I'm here to challenge you to apply The Hens' Den chic sketch created by Lori to a card, or even a tag!  One of the coolest projects I made was a set of mini tags using a layout designed for a A2 card.  It might not turn out exactly as you expect, but we always learn something for trying, right?

The part I most love about this card is how you can use this stamp set to personalize the date.  It makes it awesome for scrapbooking memories, but also for creating a super special birthday or anniversary card.

So, waddya say?  You in for giving The Hens' Den Chic Sketch for March a try?  Post your creation to our FB page so we can see your fab work!  Need more inspiration to take the leap?  Stop by tomorrow to see my Teamie Carolyn Lontin's take on the New Chic sketch from The Hens' Den, created by Design Team Member Lori McClellan.
