Girl On Tour

Back today with the fourth layout from the brightly colourful March Papermaze Kit. I have had more fun creating with rainbow colours for this layout.

My daughter is on tour with PW Productions and The Woman In Black, and they travelled to Washington DC last December, as Stage Manager she had to organise the costume and prop luggage as well as her own! Here she is arriving back at Heathrow.

I was initially inspired by a layout made by Neftali Zambrano, although she used stitching and I went for paint, making for a very different effect.

From the kit I used:
Petalsoft & White BazzillDear Lizzy - She's Magic collection - Round TripSimple Stories - Hey Crafty Girl collection - Crafty & Happy Pink Paislee puffy words stickers
chipboard quote
Stitched hearts
From my own stash I used:
Acrylic paint
Tim Holtz tag dies

For full details of the layout please see the Scrap Paper Scissors Blog.
Thanks for looking, back with the kit for April later this month.

Here is my second layout made using bright March Papermaze Kit. This layout features a photograph of a pencil drawing of the triplets, drawn by my father in 1995 when they were three years old. 

Please visit the Papermaze blog - Scrap Paper Scissors to see details of the kit, and how the layout was made.  The kit is available from the shop.

Inspired by several different layout ideas I have gathered together in my mind, I created this layout which I later adapted for the Papermaze crop. It is a photo of my daughter Catherine from a photo shoot she had back in March 2013 - this one is for Catherine's album.

I used:
Bazzill in white & blackbirdPatterned paper (for the original BoBunny - Head Over Heels)

Hope you enjoyed the crop those of you who could make it. It is always lovely to see so many variations of the layout come together. We had a great day as usual thanks Vanessa.

Old Friends

Vanessa designed the layout for this month's Papermaze crop and I went along with a few photos I thought might work, but this one of Catherine, Lisa and myself in our nurse training days was perfect for the colours of the inks and papers. The three of us shared a flat after our second year of training and so I think this must have been taken in 1979 or 1980.

The kit contained:
Cardstock - Bazzill white and Natural
Patterned Paper - Dear Lizzy - Polkadot Party - Delightful Display, Grand Garland & Cutesy Cupcake
Flowers - Prima
Other  - Dew drops, doily, twine, ribbon

We used:
Border Punch - EK Success
Corner Rounder Punch - Woodware
Butterfly Punch - Martha Stewart
Die - Memory Box
Distress Stain and Distress Ink
Diamond Stencil

I added:
American Craft Thickers - letter stickers.

Thanks for looking.
