I have a post over on the Papermaze Blog today welcoming you all to the March Papermaze Kit. I'm kicking off with a double layout for a change.

The photos show my baby granddaughter and friends at the sensory group they attend weekly, celebrating World Book Day, Flo's favourite book of the moment being a Peek-A-Book Book with a strawberry character on the front, so she is dressed in strawberries!

Here is the kit, showing the 6 papers, 2 sheets of cardstock and a selection of matching embellishments to try. Don't forget there is also a pack of 4 sheets of cardstock, selected by Vanessa, to go with the kit as an extra purchase (see all six sheets of cardstock in a photo below).

Please see the Blog and the website for details of the kit and how to make they layouts.
