The Chicken Coop

I am a paper crafter. I've been playing with paper, and cutting and pasting for many years now and I still just love it. I teach classes each month and would love to have you.
You can find me at MyRedHen.blogspot.com and on Pinterest
or email me at MyRedHen4@yahoo.com
I'd love to hear from you.
Every now and then I have some cards or little treats available for sale that may be seen here.
My blog also contains my personal posts. Ignore them if you like, but you may get a kick out of them. Maybe my girls will read them one day and get insights into the inner workings of an old woman's brain....Scary Thought!
There is a list of labels on the right side of the blog, so you can click there to go to only the posts that you are interested in. That will allow you to skip the personal posts and any items for sale if you wish. No matter which way you choose, I hope will enjoy my little blog and visit often.

Shake It Up Baby!

Today was the Hen Party for the month of August and we had a wonderful time.
We made the Happy Birthday shaker card shown here.
The monster cards are some of the other ones I made.
We used Silica Gel beads for an unusual way to make the insides of the shaker.
I got the brilliant idea from my friend Rae.
Two of my friends came who hadn't joined us before and we all made a brand new friend.
Welcome Lorraine!!
I ended up serving peach pie instead of the cherry muffins, but it was delicious so nobody minded.

Next month's Hen Party is On September 1st.
We will be making a card using a simple technique with an impressing result.
Some of you may have done this before, but I think you'll enjoy making the card...
And the food and the visiting....That's the best part!

Monday night is the drop in class with a theme of fruit and flowers.
I will make the cherry muffins for this class.
Promise....cross my heart.

Don't forget the Magic Fun Fold class coming up on August 17th.
These cards are really fun!

The drop in class is only $15 and the Magic Fun Fold class $20.
You need to sign up in advance for that one. It takes quite a bit preparation.
