Merry & Bright

I am over on the Papermaze Blog today, sharing the second set of DT layouts I have made with the January Papermaze Kit. This time I extended my first layout over two pages to make a double, featuring Christmas.

Several photos of my grand-daughter at home on Christmas day, with her mum and dad. I had plenty of papers left over after the first page, so changed the orientation and with another sheet of white Bazzill, I made a second layout to include my favourite five photos of the day. 

Please see the Scrap Paper Scissors Blog to find out how the layouts were made.

Here is what I used from the January Kit:
49 and Market - Vicki Boutin - Mistletoe & Memories - Staples Paper 5
Echo Park - Snow Day - Cozy Plaid
Buttons Galore Sparklets - Starry Sky

From my own stash, I used the following items:

Home Grown Goodness

I made this layout for the Peartree Cutfile 2nd Birthday Crop. Challenge #8 Letter 'E' Embossing and Epoxy.

I chose to use this postcard from a visit to Beatrix Potter's Hill Top Farm in Cumbria. It is a photo taken from the vegertable garden of the house, through Jemima's gate.

For Epoxy I used epoxy stickers from Marjoline Bastin's Nature's Garden collection alpha stickers and summer tag.

The embossing was done with Distress Embossing Glaze.

I also used:
Bazzill Basics
Raffia
Marjoline Bastine stickers
