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.

This is one of my husband's relatives, an interesting photo for the detail including her rather large wrist watch.
