Tiny Bundle of Fluff
is the second layout I made with the November Papermaze Kit.
I used a photo of our cat when she first arrived at home as a
tiny kitten, her ears were as big as her face in those days! I was
inspired by the work of Caroline Aston.
Butterfly Confetti is the first page I made using the Papermaze November Kit for the Design Team. It shows Catherine and George's witnesses letting off butterfly confetti cannons after having traditional confetti thrown over them both as they emerged from the ceremony.
I don't often make double layouts, but I had a few photos of Scarlett at Tulley's Farm Picking a pumpkin and some lovely papers from the Pink Paislee - Paige Evans - Truly Grateful collection. The papers complimented the autumn colours as well as Scarlett's pink jacket.
For the first page I used some Lace Bazzill as a base, and inked the edges with Fossilized Amber Distress Ink. I cut a 9" x 9" square from paper #23, I rounded the corners, inked it with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink and mounted it onto a piece of Mardi Gras Bazzill. I Cut a strip of the same paper #23, 3" x 12", and mounted this onto more of the Mardi Gras Bazzill, rounding the corners and inking the edges, I placed it across the middle of the layout. I added the 9" square over the top of this.
With another 3" x 4.5" piece of #23 paper, I punched down one side with a Binding Edge punch from EK Success. I used the corner punch on the opposite two sides, Inked the edges and mounted onto more Mardi Gras Bazzill. This was added to the top right of the 9" square. I used a Martha Stewart border punch to make some 'lace' with Petunia Bazzill. This was used to border the side panels. The photo was mounted onto a piece of Beeswax Bazzill and added to the bottom left of the 9" square. Then with scraps of the Bazzill used already, I die cut a lot of leaf fronds with two sets of Sizzix Thinlits from Tim Holtz - Funky Floral #1 and Funky Floral #2. These were arranged around the edges of the layout onto the Lace Bazzill.
For the second page I used another sheet of Lace Bazzill. With a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil, Distress Inks and a blending tool I inked small hexagons randomly onto the Bazzill.
I cut some of the hexagons from paper #21 of the Truly Grateful collection, inked them and arranged them onto the layout. Then from paper #06 I cut the top and bottom rows of zig-zags cutting along the scalloped lines. I inked them and added them to the layout.
I decorated the points of the zig-zags with some tiny purple flat-backed pearls. Then I added some pink, mustard, purple and white pearls randomly over the layout.
Finally I die cut more leaf fronds as for the first page, and added then in pairs around the layout.
Welcome to the fourth wedding layout made using the Papermaze October Kit! This week I'm on the Papermaze blog with this layout showing George and Catherine in a field after the service using the very pretty, romantic kit.
I chose this lovely sheet of paper when shopping at Papermaze recently and the colours worked well with the photo of us, as Aunty and Uncle at my nephew's wedding.
The paper is called 'Meadow' from the Indigo Hills 2 collection by Pink Fresh. I gutted the centre of the wreath with a craft knife, carefully cutting around each of the leaves. Then backed the space with a sheet of 'Misty' from the Indigo Skies collection by Kaisercraft. The leaves were then raised with 3D foam pads to add dimension. I used the reverse side of 'Meadow' to make a mat for the photo.
The title was cut from the denim side of 'Chambray' paper, also from the Indigo Skies collection. I used Crafter's Companion dies.
I added paper blossoms and a pearl swirl from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Back to share the fourth layout I made using the lovely September Papermaze kit. This time I have been working with a family history photo. This shows three generations of the Maddison family, taken before the younger two set off to live in Canada.

I will be back soon with the October kit. Thanks for looking. Lynn x
I made this using the delightful April kit from Papermaze, These kits are such great value for money and you get six sheets of patterned paper, 2 sheets of Bazzill and a bag of embellishments. I also had the extra 4 sheets of matched cardstock. The colours are stunning, not sure my photo does them justice. Here is a photo of the kit. I have only made one page so far, but there is plenty more to play with.
I used three sheets of Bazzill for the base of this layout. The first was Whirlpool, the second Blossom and the third layer was Lily. I cut the latter two down in size slightly to give a fine border and the former two were gutted. I just loved the little square designs on the Kind paper from the Be You collection by Pink Fresh. The reminded me of the flower dies in the new Sizzix Thinlits Funky Floral #3 set from Tim Holtz, so I simply had to combine the two! I used a QuicKutz alphabet for 'SCARLETT ROSE' and another Sizzix Thinlits Tim Holtz set for the months (thanks for the loan Sandra x). Thanks for looking Lynn x
