Papermaze March Kit - Part 2

Lynn here today, with the second set of layouts made with the March Papermaze kit. This time I used the pretty spring colours to create a pair of layouts for my daughter's wedding album, the peachy pink colours in the papers and embellishments were perfect.

Before looking at how the layouts were made here are the details of the kit, for full details please see my previous post or the shop website.

The Marshall Family - The groom's family including the new Mrs Marshall!

To create this layout I used a spare sheet of 12" x 12" paper as a base. I tore two strips for the top and bottom of the layout from the Carta Bella - Sunflower Market - Busy Buzzing paper, with the pink trellis side uppermost. In between these strips I placed some of the Simple Stories - Happy Hearts - Happy Heart Day paper. I used the type side up and enough of the paper to fill the gap, saving the rest for later.

I arranged my photo to the right side of the layout, with one of the heart doilies tucked under the top left of the photo.

I used the outer frame of the Carta Bella Chipboard Frame from the kit to create a shaker box. I used acetate on the front, and Rain Bazzill at the back and filled it with a selection of sequins, gems and pearls. I placed this at the base of the photo. I cut the word 'family' on my cricut twice, once with the cloudy side of Vicki Boutin - Fernwood - Focused paper and again with Coral Cream Bazzill. This title was placed over the shaker box.

I placed a piece from the centre of the chipboard frame at the top of the photo, and a camera cut from the 'focused' paper to the bottom right of the photo.

All the way down the left side of the photo I arranged a selection of tickets cut from the remains of the 'Happy Heart Day' paper. I added my journalling to these. I used the puffy phrase stickers here too.

I added the family name to the title with Pinkfresh Studio Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers from my stash.

The Cooper Family -  The bride's family including the groom. 

The base for this layout is the Pigment Bazzill. I used the pink swirl side of the Echo Park - Wedding - Pretty In Pink paper, cutting it into strips. The seven strips are 4cm wise and 28cm long, I distressed the edges and inked them with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.

The strips were placed onto the Bazzill, staggering the positions slightly, and attaching them with two pink brads at the top and bottom of each strip.

With a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil THS 16 Harlequin, and texture paste coloured with some Distress Oxide Inks - Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry, I added some texture to the right side of the layout.

The photo was mounted onto scraps of 'Fresh Floral' paper (green side), and placed this to the left of the layout. I tucked some more of the cut out tickets from the 'Happy Heart Day' paper. I created the title exactly as before and placed below the photo.

The Prima flowers were placed either side of the title.

The five wooden heart buttons were painted with gesso and then Worn Lipstick Distress Paint. I threaded some twine from my stash through the holes in the buttons to string them together. I curled the twine and glued it in place as I arranged it along the bottom of the photo.

I used the Dusty Attic chipboard heart banner, by cutting the flags free of each other and treating them with gesso and paint as I did with the buttons. These were also joined with twine and placed to the top right of the photo. 

 Finally I scattered a few nuvo drops, gems, pearls and sequins over the page.

That's all for the March kit, I'll be back with the April kit soon.
Thanks for looking.
