Happy Holiday

I made this layout using the My Creative Scrapbook kit for July. I started off being inspired by design team member Maree Crozier's layout, but my design went in a different direction using tags instead of stripes, so I still have that lovely striped paper to use on another page.

My photo was taken back in 1967, and shows me (7 years) with my sister (5 years) on the garden gate of our holiday cottage in Woolacombe Bay. Happy memories of those holidays, and I remember those dresses so well too.

Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection

I chose to use the following items from the kit:
Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection - Menagerie paper (background)
Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection - Uniquely Yours (for the tags)
Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection - Floral Ephemera
Maggie Holmes - Woodland and Grove collection - Stickers

From my own stash I added:
Distress Oxide Spray
Twine
Doodlebug Designs - Alphabet Soup Puffy Letter Stickers - Cupcake, Lily White, Bumblebee & Mint
Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits Holiday Words 2 Script die set

Off to make more now!
