My Hen's Den MME Stella & Rose Hattie Layout

My newest layout for the Hen's Den is posted on their blog! I used pictures of our trip to Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home in Scottsdale, Arizona for this layout, which features My Mind's Eye's Stella & Rose Hattie line.

Here are the steps that I used to create this layout:

1. Use Bazzill Basics Cardstock Paper (Midnight) as your background. Splatter some paint on it to create visual interest.


2. Mat each of your photos with the back side of My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Hattie Happy Dots double-sided patterned paper. Ink the edges.

3. Cut out circles with My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Hattie Happy Dots and Woven Stripe double-sided patterned paper and arrange behind photos.

4. Pleat May Arts Teal Satin/Grosgrain Double Band ribbon to create borders between photos and around circle and adhere with glue dots.

5. Add My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Mabel So Sweet buttons to Maya Road Vintage Gauze blossoms.

6. Fussy cut flowers from My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Hattie Happy Bouquet double-sided patterned paper and create embellishment clusters.

7. Hand stitch My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Hattie Buddies Sticker Tag to the corner of your page to create journaling spot and add fussy cut flowers.

8. Add journaling and a title.
