'SON' with a bit of 'SUN KISSED' by LIZ Hocking

Good day to you all and I trust that you are powering through your scrap booking with this cold weather upon us here in the Southern Hemisphere . 

I have recently returned from my yearly scrapping retreat and after a few days of uninterrupted time, managed to complete a few layouts.

Firstly, I would like to share 

SON

For this project, once all the tearing, inking and texture was added, I used a  Memory Maze Geo Frame, which I treated with coloured gold crackle.

Then I used the Memory Maze 'Sons' chipboard....minus the 's' and did some heat embossing with my new metallic melts.

 Such a fantastic effect on this sturdy MM chipboard.  I hope you agree.

and here is the finished layout.

For my next layout, I have created a bit of fun to remind us of those lovely warm summer months.

Sun Kissed

I have used the Memory Maze 'Sun Kissed' chippie. On the words I used my Gelatos, which worked so well on the MM Chipboard.  They stand up so well to all mediums and also water.

For the sun I used 'Liquid Pearls' which really made it stand out on my layout. What do you think?

Well that is all from me today and thank you for taking the time to look and don't forget to head over to the Memory Maze shop to check out more wonderful items HERE.

ARCHISCRAPS JUNE CHALLLENGE

MEMORY MAZE .....HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES

Welcome to my latest post for Memory Maze.

Today I would love to share with you my latest creation featuring my beautiful granddaughter, celebrating her 5th birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

Firstly, I decided to cut the Memory Maze chipboard and then began working with my Gelatos.  Have I mentioned how wonderful these are to work with on your chipboard pieces?  They do work so well either blended dry with your fingers or alternatively, mixed with a little water.

For the icing on the cupcake, I have used 'Flower soft', which gives a little zest to the Memory Maze chipboard.

ANGEL

For my next creation, I have used a technique shared by our DT member Jodie, using cracked egg shells.  After applying the Glimmer mists, I then applied some Dimensional Magic which gave the Memory Maze chipboard an incredible effect.  Don't you agree?

For the little flourish, a little 'Kindy Glitz' was applied.

 Well I trust that you have enjoyed my little journey today and that you will inspired to try something different with your chipboard pieces.

Until next time.....Happy Scrapping

ARTastic May Challenge

Back here again to share the latest challenge over at ARTastic.

I decided to try a little bit different with the stars and made them from denim.  These photos were taken when my son was only 3 months only and we were all off to his first party.......oh the 70's such a great era.

Thanks for taking the time to look......until next time happy scrapping.......Love Liz

CAUGHT IN THE ACT by LIZ HOCKING

I am back to share with you my latest work using some incredible Memory Maze products.  At the moment I am loving creating my own backgrounds and playing around with my new Gelatos. 

Caught in the Act

To begin with I trimmed down white cardstock, which I then scribbled some Gelato colours randomly onto, and then applied a little water to blend. When dry I used a Memory Maze stencil with some Gesso.

Here, you can see the Memory Maze 'Caught in the Act'  along with the flourish I treated with Gelatos.

Family

For my next layout I chose some vintage pattern paper from Webster that I did have in my stash for sometime.  I teamed it with some fussy cutting as well.

  I used the Memory Maze 'Family' chipboard which I embossed.  I have not embossed for some time and enjoyed playing with a couple of colours to get the ideal effect.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

MEMORY MAZE FRAMED LADY & BICYCLE FUN

Good day Ladies,

Here in Victoria,  the children are now back at school and we all know what that means......yes more time to get playful and try something different in your scapbooking.  Having said that, let me show you what I decided to create for you.

THERE LIVED A BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS

Firstly, I started with this lovely new lady, 'Jans girls' from Memory Maze

I then set to work following a technique which I had picked up from the wonderful Cindy Porter and that is to cover your area with PVA Glue, like so......

and then dried with a heat gun, which produces a very different effect. 

A thin coating of Gesso was then applied all over

and then the fun started .......I used my new Gelatos and blended a few colours

I have used a 3d picture frame and then used Memory Maze Tribal Flourish  

which I applied with Gesso and some Gelatos.

and finally some Memory Maze Bling around her dress and the frame and here is the result.

YOU AND ME

For my next project a Layout using the Memory Maze Bicycle, 

which I treated with Gesso and then applied some Liquid Pearls.  I really love how easy the Liquid Pearls goes onto Memory Maze Chipboards.

Well there you are, I hope I have inspired you all to have some fun with your chipboard pieces , until next time ladies, happy scrapping.....regards Liz
