Christmas Fairy

On Saturday we had an extended Papermaze Crop at Otley Village Hall. The reason for the extended time 10am to 7pm was to help raise funds for the new roof. Vanessa  designed this crop layout kit for those who were able to stay into the evening. 

The photo shows Florence, dressed as the Christmas fairy, laying under the tree. 

The kit contained:
P13 - Into The Woods collection - #01
12" x 6" Woodgrain paper
Kraft tag
Matte Jewels
Flower

There were items to share
Fern leaf stamp
Distress Ink

I also used:
Doodlebug Designs Alphabet Soup letter stickers - gold
Marker pen
Gems and pearls

You & Me

Today we had an extended crop at Papermaze, to help raise funds for the roof of the Otley Village Hall, where we meet every month. So instead of one, there were three layout kits available to purchase. Here is the first of those, designed by the talented Lorraine. 

I chose to scrap these two pictures of a lovely day I shared with Catherine and Florence, last December. We went to Greenwich Park for a walk to Greenwich Village for a little Christmas shopping. We had lunch in The Pavilion, then back to Florence and Catherine's home to read one of the books we purchased. 

The kit included:
Pre-Die-cut shapes and letters in funky foam and card.
12" x 12" White Cardstock
4 pieces of 12" x 6" patterned paper from various designers

I also used:
Distress Inks
Black fine liner pen
