October Papermaze Kit - Part 1

Lynn here today, with my first two layouts made using the new Papermaze Kit for October. A beautiful collection in subtle colours. For my first post, I made a wedding layout and a heritage page.

 

 Before looking at how the layouts were made, here is a look at what's in the kit. 

Patterned Papers:
49 & Market - Serenity - Brief Glimpse & Fluttering Trio
Mintay Papers - Grandma's Attic - #05 & #06
P13 - Lady's Diary - #02
American Crafts - Vicki Boutin - Print Shop - Typeset

Bazzill Basics - Touch of Pink & Rain

Reverse side of papers

Embellishments:
12" cream lace, Mintay Clock Chippie, vintage label plate, pinch of clear gems, large Prima flower, 3 large pearls, resin flower, 4 pearl hearts, 5 wooden leaves, Thought Token, leaf charm

Extra Bazzill Pack - Aloe Vera, Blue Star, Almond Cream & Casa

Wedding Guests - My daughter and her husband at a friend's wedding earlier this year.

I used a spare sheet of 12" x 12" paper as a base for the layout, then set about building the background with papers from the kit. I trimmed the 'Typeset' paper to 15cm deep and tore along the bottom edge. At about 12cm in from the right, I tore up from the bottom by a few cm.

From the remaining piece of 'Typeset' I tore a turquoise strip from the flip side, and tucked this under the previous piece. The bottom area of the layout was filled with 'Grandma's Attic #05'.

There is already a flicked black ink design on the paper, I added to this by flicking Cosmic Shimmer, Shimmer Mists (Bronze Blush and Ocean Sunlight) over the page. 

The photo was mounted into a chipboard frame (Scrapiniec), and placed to the left side of the layout. I ran a length of pleated ribbon across the layout, 10cm down from the top. 

The large paper rose from the kit was fixed at the top of the tear in the paper, and I added three of the wooden ferns. With some embroidery thread I attached the leaf charm to dangle from the rose. 

I placed the resin rose at the base of the photo, together with the remaining two wooden fern leaves.

My title was created with some Authentique Petit Type letter stickers and some die cut letters, using more of the 'Typeset' paper. 

Finally I scattered pearls, sequins, gems and Nuvo Glitter Drops over the page. 

Herbert Claude Banks - A family history page made with this cute photo of Herbert as a small boy.

Using the P13 Lady's Diary paper, with the sage side uppermost, I used some Distress Mica Stain Sprays to age the backdrop.

From Grandma's Attic paper #06, I cut five of the frames, trimming around the shape of some with deckle edge scissors. Each of these frames were inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I arranged these pieces onto the background paper, then mounted my photo in the centre.

I took the clockface from the kit, inked it with more of the Distress ink, then placed it onto the bottom right of the layout.

Flipping the remainder of the #06 paper over, I fussy cut lots of the elements, inked the edges and arranged them on the layout. I attached some with glue and others with 3D foam pads.

I used the Vintage Label Plate from the kit to add the dates of Herbert's life. I backed it with a scrap of the patterned paper, then added numbers cut from Bazzill with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Tiny Type set.

Using the Tiny Type upper and lower alpha dies, I cut the name and place titles. 

That's all for today, I will be back soon with more from this kit.
Thanks for looking
