Become layout using the March Chic sketch

I am so excited to be sharing a new take in the March chic sketch. I did the left page of the sketch last time, and so this time I tried a layout using the right side of the sketch.

So as you can tell, I did not add any pictures to my layout. That is A-OK in my book. Here are you my top reasons why I love to have a bunch of premade layouts.

1. I like to have pre-made layouts on hand for when I get my pictures printed, I can quickly add a photo and be done with a page.

2. I like to give pre-made pages in an album as gifts. (Especially for my friends and family who don't scrapbook, they can easily add their own photos and have an amazing, personalized album.

3. Sometimes I see a sketch or have an idea that I'm afraid I will lose or forget, so by making a blank layout, you have it when you are ready to use it down the road.

4. I love my pretty paper, but if I hold on to it and don't use it, chances are I will just hoard it. By making a blank layout, I will already have a beautiful piece just waiting for the right pictures.

5. I take pictures to match the layouts I already have done. It makes choosing the right color clothing and accessories so easy!

6. I love to make page packets using sketches, so when I go to an expo or just sit down to scrapbook I can pull out all the co-ordinating papers, sketch and embellishments and throw them together. Easy. Fast.

So speaking of expos, I will be at the CKC expo in Portland, OR. March 22nd and 23rd, at the Hens Den booth. I hope you can stop by, I can't wait to meet you! We will be happy to help you get all your supplies to make very memorable pages.

Muddy Memories layout using the March sketch

Created by DT member Lori McClellan

I am so excited today to share with you a new Chic sketch from The Hens' Den. We will be using this all month for our Design Team projects and hope that all our followers choose to sketch along with us.

So as you can see, this sketch allows for up to 12 pictures. I love that! If every page I scrapped I used only one picture, I will never catch up.

Here is my take on one page of the sketch. The kaisercrafts 75 cents line has so many beautiful papers in the collection. I love the butterflies in the die cut pack. I layers a larger butterfly on the bottom and a smaller one on top, adhered them together and folded the wings. I love the dimension it brings to the layout.

And here is my finished page.

You can find all the KasierCraft 75 cent paper collection supplies to make this layout at The Hens' Den. Go check it out today. I hope you play along this month. If you use our sketch send us a picture on facebook or share on the gallery on the blog!
