Scrapping black and white or heritage pictures can be difficult, however there are designers making the job easier by providing heritage-suitable papers. The designer here has made it even easier by including an element of a heritage picture so that you can imagine how your LO would look.
Papers - Lovely. They have that "steeped in tea" coloring that says aged without saying tatty. The blending and coloring is very attractive. For a mini-kit five papers is not bad, if you would like to expand it the colour scheme that the designer has chosen should be easily matched with any kits in your "go-to" stash.
Elements - The burnt edges on the musical paper are a nice touch. I do like all the tags and journaling boxes. I always have a problem journalling on crumpled paper journaling boxes as it never looks right. It would be ideal as a photo mat/frame or a mat for any of the card elements. I am unsure about the bows As a stand-alone item they are very attractive and I like the burnished gold colour. I don't know how the blue fits in with the kit. I would probably separate them from the kit and add them to my stash instead. The rusted hinge looks as if you could reach out and touch it, a very nice element that I could see myself using both as part of this kit and also on its own. The cast iron scroll is a good divider between areas on a LO. If you are making a heritage album this would look great on the cover (especially printed out on a Shutterfly book)
One sentence A good kit for scrapping those heritage photographs and also for expanding your go-to stash.
