Polly

I have a new post on the Papermaze Blog today, showing my first two DT layouts using the pretty pastel July Papermaze Kit. Such a lovely kit with double-sided papers, Bazzill cardstock and a selection of embellishments. I have created my first two layouts using the 49 and Market - 'From The Garden' papers included in the kit.

Here is the first of those layouts, featuring this rather majestic old photo of Mary, known as Polly back in 1908. Polly's maiden name was Edwards, and her married name was Pond (Polly Pond). This is one of my husband's relatives, an interesting photo for the detail including her rather large wrist watch. 

Please check the Blog for details of how the layout was made. 

From the kit - I used:
Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Twig, Petunia & Nixon
49 and Market - From The Garden collection - Wildflower  
Petaloo Flowers
Uniquely Creative Ticket Washi Tape Stickers
Mintay Chipboard Clock

From my stash - I used:
Copper embossing powder
Tim Holtz - Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Wonderland
Chipboard
Tim Holtz, Sizzix Thinlits - Tag collection die set
Laser Cut Elements from the 49 and Market - From The Garden collection
Cricut 
Gathered Twigs Distress ink
Green seam binding ribbon 

That's all for today, back with the next layout tomorrow.
Thanks for looking.

Here is my last design team layout made with the April Papermaze Kit. This one is rather a contrast to the pretty purple and lilac laypus made with this kit so far. I love this Mintay Papers - Man Cave collection - #5 paper, from the kit. I wanted to use it for a masculine layout using my new Vault Watch Gears Sizzix die set. I decided to scrap this photo of my husband's grandfather.

Here is a list of the items I chose from the kit:
