April Papermaze Kit - Part 2

 

Lynn here with my second pair of layouts made with the pretty Papermaze kit for April. The kit contains a beautiful range of purples, pinks, greens and blues. This month I have updated two old layouts I made many years ago.

 Here is a reminder of what is in the kit:

Patterned Papers (photo below shows both sides of each of the papers)
49 and Market - Colour Swatch Teal - Teal Paper 2
49 and Market - Spectrum Gardenia collection - Classics - Floral Serenade
American Crafts - Dreamer collection - Floral & Stamped Hearts
Pebbles - Cool Girl collection - Petals
Pebbles - Cool Boy collection - Tie Dye

Embellishments: 4 American Craft Puffy Icon Stickers, 2 paper tie on tags, 2 - 49 and Market acetate-filmstrips, 3 wooden butterflies, strip of pearls, 12" lace, 1 Woodware label clear stamp, 4 pieces Rosie's Studio floral ephemera

Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Coconut Swirl and Blue Calypso included in kit. Twilight and Jade, Romance and Juneberry included in extra Bazzill pack.

Wash Day - This layout shows a photo of my Nan from the 1950's, she was looking around for something for my Dad to take a photo of in the back garden, while hanging out the washing!

I gutted the Teal Paper 2 of 1.5" deep. Then I trimmed the Twilight Bazzill to measure 10" x 10" and placed it centrally over the teal frame. The Tie Dye paper was cut down to 9.75" x 9.75" and mounted over the blue cardstock.

With the large photo arranged to the left side of the photo, I attached a piece of white cord, across the page, so it would extend the washing line in the photo, to the edges of the layout. I printed my journalling onto some white card and cut it to resemble a towel waving in the breeze. This was hung to the washing line with some tiny wooden pegs. I added two more pegs to the line.

My title was made with American Crafts Thickers - Dear Lizzie - glitter chipboard letter stickers.

My flower clusters were made with scraps of papers from the kit, using the Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits set - Small Tattered Flowers. The edges were inked with Distress Inks.

Finally, I placed large flat-backed pearls into the centres of the flowers.



Catherine at Pecorama - Another layout remake. This one shows my daughter, Catherine on the zip wire at Pecorama, Devon.

I made this layout using the Romance Bazzill. The with the Vicki Boutin Sweet Rush stencil and several colours of Distress Oxide Ink, I created the background. Then I cut a wavy edge from two pieces of Stamped Hearts paper. These edges were distressed and placed at the top and bottom of the page.

As the name 'Catherine' has nine letters, I made nine tags, and with some old Making Memories eyelet letters, I inked the tags and attached the letters to the holes at the top of the tags. Then I added nine coloured eyelets along the top of the layout. Next the tags were attached with some 3D foam pads and joined to the eyelets with some jute twine.

The photos were trimmed to focus on Catherine as she twisted and turned on the zip wire. Then these were arranged across the layout.

That's all for the April Kit, back with the May kit soon.
Thanks for looking.
