Crazy Cosy Coupe

Today, I'm on the Papermaze Blog with the May kit (a little later than usual due to holidays). The kit this month is full of brightly coloured patterned papers and cardstock - great fun! I have used mine to make four layouts of my children's activities back in the 1990's. The photo below shows the first of these layouts. The children on their 3rd birthday, with the gift of a Little Tikes Cosy Coupe. 

Please visit Papermaze's Scrap Paper Scissors Blog for full details on making the layout. 

I selected the following items from the kit:
49 and Market - Vicki Boutin - Artful Moments - Starters Paper #2
Pebbles - Sun & Fun puffy dots
Vicki Bouton – Bold & Bright puffy stickers
Rosie's Studio – Jubilee die cut sentiments
Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Raven

I added my own items:
49 and Market - Vicki Boutin - Artful Moments  Starters Paper #8
Black Soot Distress Ink
Spellbinders Dies Say Cheese Classic Mouse - Classic Mouse Alphabet set
Glossy photo paper
Black marker pen. 

That's all for today, back with more from this kit tomorrow.
Thanks for looking.
