Part two of the March Papermaze Kit is being shared on the Scrap, Paper, Scissors Blog today. I have created two more layouts using papers, cardstock and embellishments from the kit, together with items from my own stash. Today Im sharing the first of these layouts.

Having seen many layouts created with tags as a main element, I wanted to try this idea. My granddaughter loves to be outside, whatever the weather. Here she is in one of her favourite places to explore - Abbey Wood Ruins.
