Martin
written by Amysout

Martin, created by Ilona Havenaar, is a cute mini kit commemorating her son’s birthday. The colors definitely lean toward the masculine side with the bright, strong blues with a vibrant orange accent color, and her inclusion of some denim pieces. The papers have a slight grungy texture and there are some versatile patterned pieces that compliment the kit’s fun, action-oriented feel.

Ilona includes your basic elements of buttons, paper swirls, bows, and frames, There is a cute denim pocket with a piece of journaling paper attached, the frames are


crumpled pieces of coordinating paper, and other standout features include Ilona’s sparkly star brads, a silver charm frame, and a darling orange belt through the waistline of denim jeans border! IMHO, I would have like to have staples, stitches, or some other way of visually securing elements to my layouts. For seasoned scrappers, those are item we’re likely to have a plethora of– and they aren’t difficult to make.

Below are other comments made by the team:

Jadelyna: Martin was a fun kit to work with. I love the colors with the splash of denim and buttons. I agree needed a staple or something. Also, I prefer elements that are not lumped together already. I prefer to do the lumping. I have more flexibility that way.

Leah: The colors in Ilona Havenaar's Martin kit are so bright and fun! The orange and blues will make any layout pop! Great choices in solid and patterned papers and the elements are fun and easy to use!!
