Sarah - August 2018 kit - Old Gippstown

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with a pocket page layout using the amazing August 2018 Kit. Let's take a look at what's in the kit.

When I saw this kit, I instantly thought of Mary Poppins....and our visit to local Old Gippstown. The Gippsland Heritage Park is set in the 1850's where you can see the classic vehicles and learn about the early European settlement of Victoria. I took my boys on one day in the January school holidays and they got to experience a number of the activities and events of the 1850's. It was great fun!

The cards were made using the patterned paper in the kit - the two patterns were mixed and matched and the embellishments used to make layers. The top left card was fun to make...the Penny Farthing chipboard was painted black and covered with Prima Wax - Vintage Silk. I love the effect this wax has on a dark coloured chipboard. The lace from the kit is also just adorable!

For the other cards I used a small photo of our time at Old Gippstown and layered them with other embellishments in the kit - the cut apart clock, spoon and the most adorable wooden veneer cup and saucers. The charms in this kit are so devine....the little handbag and umbrella were perfect for this layout.
