Confetti Magic

Here is another layout from a Papermaze crop, I just needed to finish off. This time it was designed by Michelle and was from a crop I missed in September as I was travelling around Scotland.

I have used a photo from my daughter Emily's wedding two years ago for this layout and it shows them covered in confetti.

The kit included Natural and White Bazzill, and Kaisercraft Morning Dew papers and sequins.

At the crop the materials provided to complete the page were - Distress Oxide Ink Pads, stencil, White Nuvo Crystal Drops, twine, punch and alphabet dies.

From my stash I used Stickles for the word 'confetti' and a die from the Simple Stories Say Cheese 4 - Happy Words die set for the word 'magic'. I added a touch of shine to the latter with Glossy Accents.

Josephine and Keith

I am very late getting this layout blogged! It was created at last July's Papermaze Crop, and was designed by Janina.

I chose to use an old black and white photograph from my Uncle Keith's wedding to Josephine  in 1956.

Supplied in the kit for this page - Stamperia papers, Natural Bazzill, flowers, wooden heart chipboard brickwork, vanilla dew drops, jute and twine. I added a few more flowers from my stash. 

Available at the crop to complete the layout was 49 & Market stamps, Martha Stewart border punch, wreath die.

I decided to add my title with a brush and ink.

Uncle Peter

This is my layout made at the October 2019 Papermaze Crop - I have only just added the final details! I'm having a New Year effort at finishing off and /or blogging some of the things I have made in recent months. This layout was designed by Vanessa.

I used this recently acquired photo of my Uncle Peter when he was a young man. This lovely masculine design was ideal to create a tribute to this lovely man who died a few weeks short of his 90th birthday in 2018.

The papers are from Fabscraps Fantasy Flight and Simple Stories Autumn Splendor. The kit contained corrugated kraft card, ric-rac, and a paper flower.  A Tim Holtz Layering Stencil, Forest Moss Distress Stain and Vintage Photo Distress Ink were available to use at the crop. I added Stickles to the butterfly wings and journalling to a spare piece of patterned paper. I fussy cut the bee from the spare paper too.

For my title I used the revers side of some of the scrap paper and the Tim Holtz Sizzix Bigz XL alphabet die - Wonderland. I also used some tiny letter stickers from my stash.

Hello - Lynn back with the last of my Christmas layouts made with the December Papermaze kit. To purchase the kit and have a look at the other products please see the new shop website. If you are interested in how the layout was made please see the Papermaze Blog.
