June Papermaze Kit - Part 1

The new Papermaze kit for June is now available in the shop, and online. An amazing collection of travel and floral papers in a selection of blues and oranges. Plenty of embellishments and Bazzill cardstock. There are two sheets of card stock in the kit, and a pack of four colour matched sheets in the extra pack. Here are the first two of my four layouts made using this kit, both with a summery vibe.

Family Reunion - This photo was taken when we met up with family rediscovered through Ancestry. We took the opportunity to share a meal when visiting Harrogate recently.

To make a base for this layout, I stared with a spare sheet of 12" x 12" paper. This meant I could use both sides of the patterned paper. All my cut papers were inked with Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink. I cut two panels 4" x 12" from the wooden plank side of the Heidi Swapp Set Sail - 'Ledger Peach' paper. I placed these either side of the base paper.

I then cut a flowery panel from Jen Hadfield's Flower Child - 'Keeping Tabs' paper, this was 5" x 12". I placed the floral panel in the centre of the page. I cut 2 pieces 1" x 12" from the ledger side of the Set Sail Paper, I used a border punch to create a pattern along the length of the strips and tucked them just under the centre paper.

My photo was mounted onto a piece of Powder Blue Bazzill. I cut two of the ledger pieces from the other side of the Flower Child paper, and all three pieces were arranged to the left side of the layout.

With two more smaller pieces from the Flower Child paper, I wrote my journalling on one and mounted it onto the other. These were placed to the right bottom area of the layout. I made a small tag with more of the same paper and added the date to my journalling with some Doodlebug Designs Alphabet Soup puffy stickers in Mint.

The title was made with more puffy alpha stickers from my stash - Pink Paislee Happy Life Thickers and Pinkfresh The Best Days.

I added a heart phrase embellishment I had left over from a previous Papermaze kit to the top right. A Peartree Flair was positioned near the journalling.

Finally, I added clusters of paper roses in four different colours, together with some leaf fronds cut using a Tim Holtz - Sizzix Thinlits Funky Floral die set. To cut the leaves I used Powder Blue and Pigment Bazzill.

 
Life is Good - Photo taken at the start of our two-week Greek Island sailing trip.

I used the beautiful 'Ticket Montage' paper as the backdrop for this layout. Then I tore a panel from 'Circles' paper 12" x approx. 5 1/2" and placed this, stripe side up, across the centre of the page. I tore two more narrow strips and with the circle side up, I placed these above and below the centre panel.

I cut two wreaths using Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits set - Funky Wreaths and Pigment Bazzill. I plaited three lengths of jute twine and tied the finished plait into a circle. The three circles were placed to the left of the page so they would peek out from under the photo.

The photo was placed to the left of the layout on foam to give it dimension and allow it to sit over the jute twine.

I placed four acrylic seagulls from Bramble Fox at the top of the layout. A Peartree acrylic title was placed to the right of the stripe paper to make the title.

The date was made with Doodlebug Designs Alphabet Soup puffy stickers in Lily White. I cut the words 'Set Sail' from the detail strip of the patterned paper and placed it just under my title.

My journalling was written to the bottom right of the layout, and embellished with the enamel (heart) dots from the kit. I also added a Rosie's Studio puffy sticker, to my photo (also from the kit).

That's all for today, I have two more layouts to share soon.
Thanks for looking.
