World Book Day - Peekaboo

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. Both these layouts can be independent of one another, they can also be arranged either way around. The March kit is full of pretty spring papers, embellishments and cardstock colours. 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.

From the kit, I used:
Simple Stories - Tea Garden collection Be Happy
Tea Garden Bits & Pieces
Rosie's Studio Button Embellishments
Doodlebug enamel heart sprinkles
Bazzill Basics Cardstock: CS White, Yukon Gold, & Lagoon.

From my stash, I used:
Sizzix, Tim Holtz, Tag Collection die set

That's all for today, I'll be back later with two single layouts made from the same kit.
