Polly

I have a new post on the Papermaze Blog today, showing my first two DT layouts using the pretty pastel July Papermaze Kit. Such a lovely kit with double-sided papers, Bazzill cardstock and a selection of embellishments.

Here is the first of those layouts, featuring this rather majestic old photo of Mary, known as Polly back in 1908. Polly's maiden name was Edwards, and her married name was Pond (Polly Pond). This is one of my husband's relatives, an interesting photo for the detail including her rather large wrist watch.
