Elizabeth

I'm over on the Papermaze Blog today to introduce the versatile September Papermaze Kit - with a mix of papers and embellishments in soft neutral colours. Ideal for many different themes including heritage, nautical, masculine or feminine.

I have created four layouts, two heritage and two with very recent photos. I have used chipboard in all of my layouts, from three different companies, all available from Papermaze.

My second layout is Elizabeth Humbley Banks - (1796 - 1861)
Elizabeth was born in Hail Weston, Huntingdonshire, on 22nd April 1796
She married Joseph Banks on 22 April 1819 in Hail Weston - they had 15 children.
She died in Hail Weston on 24th November 1861

Please see the blog, link above for full details on making the layout.

From the kit I used:
Prima Marketing - Nature Lover collection - In Flight
Simple Stories - Happily Ever After - We Do!
P13 - Soulmate collection #02
Bazzill - Pigment & Dusk
Lace
Prima butterfly

From my stash I used:
That Special Touch stencil Art Is
Distress Ink Pads
Scrapiniec Chipboard pieces

Pearls

That's all for today, back with more from this kit very soon.
