Oh Snap!

Over on the Papermaze Blog today you will see more layouts using the Papermaze Kit for June. This kit gives you Bazzill and patterned papers in bright cheerful colours. Here is my first of the two layouts featuring 70's Kodak square format photos.

Photos I took myself with my first camera at the age of 11 on a year 6 school trip to The Isle of Wight. These appear to be the only two photos that have survived from that holiday. So, the Vicki Boutin Speciality Acetate and the Simple Stories Take the Shot paper was ideal for recording the memory.

From the kit I used:
Simple Stories - Summer Snapshots - Take the Shot
Vicki Boutin Speciality Acetate Discover and Create
Bazzill Basics - Coconut Swirl

From my stash I used:
Distress Oxide Ink (Carved Pumpkin and Salvaged Patina)
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Filmstrip Ribbon
Thickers (Dear Lizzie Cordial)
LDRS One Fine Day small puffy alpha stickers

That's all for today, but I do have another layout to share tomorrow.
