February Papermaze Kit - Part 2

Hello, Lynn with you today, and the second pair of layouts made using the beautiful February kit from Papermaze. Pretty romantic papers, together with Bazzill cardstock and embellishments. This time I am using some old family. black and white photos.

Before seeing how these layouts were created, please see below, what you will find in the kit.

Patterned Papers:
Mintay Papers - See You in Paris! collection - #04 & #05
P13 - Love Stories collection - #01 & #05
49 and Market - Vintage Orchard collection - Solids Paper 1
Echo Park - Marry Me collection - Blush Floral

The photo below shows both sides of the papers:

Embellishments - P13 Light Chipboard Embellishments, P13 Dear Love Stickers, Craft Consortium 2 Belle Fleur butterflies, P13 Stitched With Love labels, 3 Prima flowers, Doodlebug Designs 5 puffy heart stickers, Little Birdie 3 heart stickers, 12" Pink Mesh ribbon, Papermania Bare Basics wooden dots.

Bazzill Basics Cardstock - Sweetheart and Stonehenge (included in kit). Peach Creme, Dusk, Tutu Pink, Guacamole (in extra Bazzill match kit).

Our Wedding - This layout shows The wedding of family members Gerty and Bill, taken in 1931.



For this layout I used a sheet of Classic Smooth White Bazzill, and the sheet of Mintay Papers - See You in Paris! collection - #04. The first task was to cut a large heart shape from the #04 paper. I worked out where the heart would sit on the cardstock, and with TH Layering Stencil (Ornate THS079), I stencilled with Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. I also flicked some of these inks over the page.

 
Using DMC embroidery thread, I worked chain stitch about 1cm in from the edge of the heart shape. I trimmed the outer edge of the heart with some pretty white lace.

The heart was then stuck down onto the centre of the cardstock. I mounted my photo to the right side of the heart. Using scraps from the P13 - Love Stories collection - #05l, I fussy cut a circular, floral element and tucked this into the left side of the photo.

From the kit, I chose the flowers, phrase stickers and butterflies to embellish the page. 

Using my own stash, I used the 'Our Wedding' sticker from Echo Park - Just Married - Element Stickers. My journalling was written under the title.

Finally, I added the tiny white heart stickers from the kit.

Dimples - I recently found these photos of my little sister from the 1960's

For the background, I used the 49 and Market - Vintage Orchard collection - Solids Paper 1. Then, with scraps of Mintay Papers - See You in Paris! collection - #04 & #05 I tore pieces to add to the sides of the layout, using both sides of the paper.

I flicked some of Distress Oxide Inks over the page.

I used both Mintay Papers - See You in Paris! collection - #04 & #05 to make three tags. The tags were cut using the Tim Holtz, Sizzix Thinlits, Tag collection die set. I tied some ribbon into the top of each tag, and arranged them across the centre of the page. The three photos were mounted over the tags.

With some flowers fussy cut from the scraps, I placed these around the layout, mounted with some 3D foam pads.

I made some letters for the title using the Sweetheart Bazzill, and a Sizzix Bigz die. I used the P13 phrase stickers from the kit to add the layout.

The date was made with Alphabet Soup stickers from Doodlebug Designs.

I used the Papermania Bare Basics wooden dots on the page above the tags and photos.

Finally, I used the three heart stickers from the kit.

That's all for the February kit, back with the March kit soon.
Thanks for looking,
