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. I have created my first two layouts using the 49 and Market - 'From The Garden' papers included in the kit.

Here is the first of those layouts, featuring this rather majestic old photo of Mary, known as Polly back in 1908. Polly's maiden name was Edwards, and her married name was Pond (Polly Pond). This is one of my husband's relatives, an interesting photo for the detail including her rather large wrist watch. 

Please check the Blog for details of how the layout was made. 

From the kit - I used:
Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Twig, Petunia & Nixon
49 and Market - From The Garden collection - Wildflower  
Petaloo Flowers
Uniquely Creative Ticket Washi Tape Stickers
Mintay Chipboard Clock

From my stash - I used:

Laser Cut Elements from the 49 and Market - From The Garden collection

Green seam binding ribbon 

That's all for today, back with the next layout tomorrow.
Thanks for looking.
