October Papermaze Kit - Part 2

Lynn here today, with my second set of layouts made using the Papermaze Kit for October. A beautiful collection in subtle colours. Please see the shop or website for details of the kit and other items used.

Before looking at how the layouts were made, here is a look at what's in the kit. 
For full details, please see the shop website or Blog Post Part 1

Conversation with the Sea - A recent day out at Aldeburgh when we walked along the coast to Thropeness for lunch, then back to the Yacht Club at Aldeburgh for tea. A round trip of 12K with pebble collecting and paddling along the way.

I used Brief Glimpse paper as the base for this layout, I cut off the detail strip and placed this across the paper, about 7cm up from the bottom.

From Rain Bazzill, I cut two rings of 16.5cm circumference. I overlapped these and placed them in the centre of the paper.

With a Simple Stories Stencil - Waves, I created waves in the centre of the circles using Distress Texture Paste mixed with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide Ink. Allow this to air dry.

I mounted my photo onto Almond Cream Bazzill and wrapped some blue twine around the base of the photo, I tied this in a bow, catching the Thought Token into the knot. I placed this to the lower right of the circles.

From the Grandma's Attic #05 paper I cut three of the tickets. I punched a hole in one end of each token, and applied a brad to the holes. I wrote my journalling on the tickets then stuck them to the bottom left of the circles. I threaded a length of twine through the eyelets and looped it loosely, sticking in place in a few spots. 

With some sewing thread and a needle, I stitched eight small silver charms along the inner side of one of the rings, so they hang down and swing a little.

I die cut letters for my title, and arranged them around the circles, adding s touch of sparkle with Nuvo Glitter Drops - Silver Moondust.

Finally, I used some wooden numbers from my stash to add the date.

You're the Best - When Morty first arrived he liked to place himself inside small spaces, like shelving and this basket. 

I chose the Fluttering Trio paper for this layout, and trimmed 1cm from each side, then distressed the edges. I used a Martha Stewart border punch to create small clusters of pattern on three of the edges. The paper was glued in place over the Aloe Vera Bazzill. 

With the Dusty Attic Dragonflies Stencil, Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink and Distress Texture Paste, I added tiny insects over the top of the layout.

From the Grandma's Attic #05 paper, I made a mount for my photo from the floral side, I placed the photo to the right of the layout. I cut six of the tickets from the flip side of the #05 paper and placed them to the left of the photo.

I discovered 49 & Market Rubons in the Papermaze store this weekend, and they are a delight to use. I chose Artistry Serenity 12" x 12" Sentiments to use with this layout. I rubbed on the word 'BEST' to the bottom right of the layout. 

I applied two smaller sentiment rub-ons, one below the big 'BEST' rub-on and one over my tickets.

I used some letter stickers to add to my title and I found a Kaisercraft Curio in my stash which was just the right colour and sentiment for the layout. 

Finally I added gems from the kit to the punched areas, and some dots of Nuvo Crystal drops to the background.

That's all for the October Kit. I'll be back with the November kit soon.
Thanks for looking.
