Happy Birthday D.S.M.

Here is my layout created with the April Papermaze Crop Kit. Vanessa designed this months kit which is called Victorian Day.

Here is my version of the design:

These mobile phone photos were taken in one of the dressing rooms backstage at the Grand Opera House York. Catherine is the Deputy Stage Manager (DSM) for Agatha Christie's Black Coffee which is currently on tour. It was Catherine's birthday while she was there and when she arrived the other staff had gifts, cards and a birthday cake ready for her. Nice to know they are looking after her while she is away from home. Hopefully this is only one of many layouts toward an album of this years tour for Catherine. She finishes in Milton Keynes tonight and moves on to Coventry tomorrow.

The kit contained:
Simple Stories - A charmed Life -Whitewashed Wood
Kaisercraft Honey Chai Star Anise
Bazzill Java and Aqua
White Vellum
Embroidery thread
Washi tape

We also used:
Harlequin background stamp by Kaisercraft
Acrylic paint
Chalkboard Glimmer Mist - Sprout
Corner rounder punch
Chevron Punch by Martha Stewart
Promarker to colour the vellum
Various butterfly and fern leaf punches
Alphabet for title cut using Die-namics dies, - My favorite things - by the letters

Here is Vanessa's original layout:

Thanks for looking
