Merry Christmas
- This layout features a photograph of my daughter Catherine, having breakfast
with her cousins on Christmas Eve when she was doing Panto in Bromley in
2017. This layout is the first of six I have created for the Papermaze DT for December.
From the kit I used: Simple Stories - Jolly Holly collection - Cosy ChristmasAuthentique - Rejoice #22 Butter Mints and Safari Bazzill Papermaze exclusive star stencil Glittery chipboard star
Swiss Cottage
This layout is an old picture I have wanted to scrap for years, and
shows my girls on the Isle of Wight, autumn half term 1999, when we
visited Osborne House. I made this with the November 2019 Papermaze Kit.
Please see the shop and the blog for details on how the layout as made and the products used.
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.
