Inspired by Jane Austin

This is another layout I made using the February Papermaze Kit. Emily enjoyed a weekend leading a series of Playford dances, popular in Austen's time at a public event held in Wentworth Woodhouse. It was a project she took part in with the Nottingham Folk Dance Club, and was performed in historical costumes she made herself.

A Thousand Years

I made a layout for my daughter Emily recording the music she chose to make an entrance to her wedding ceremony, and so I wanted to do the same for Catherine's wedding. She chose The instrumental version of A Thousand Years - very moving. This is the first layout I made using the February Papermaze Kit.

Washington Monument

This is the last layout I made using the January Papermaze Kit, it features me and my daughter in Washington at the Monument. It was an amazingly sunny December day, cold but with lovely blue skies. We spent a day on the Mall looking at the various memorials.
