Great Pagoda

This layout was made with the May Papermaze Crop kit, I made it a month later as I was visiting Kew Gardens as a birthday treat on the day of the May crop. It seems appropriate that the colours of these photos of my daughter and me visiting the Grand Pagoda worked well with the Maggie Holmes - Round Trip collection papers.

In addition to the kit I used:
Sizzix Tim Holtz Alphanumerics Label Thinlits die set
