MEN @ WORK FOR MEMORY MAZE

Hello Crafters,

I hope you have all been busy creating and playing around with your chipboards.  As the weather here in Aus. has been rather cold, lots of time has been spent inside trying to keep warm, which of course, gives us more time to be creative.

MEN @ WORK

Firstly, I would love to share this story of my 'epic fail' and 'rescue' of my Memory Maze chipboard.

I was organising an activity for my grandchildren over the school holidays which was 'Coloured sands Jar' which involved making the sand from salt and covering it with chalk to make different colours.

I then put glue all over my chipboard and went about sprinkling the 'sand' all over it.

and here is the final result which I was not happy with and leads me to continue the story........

I kept telling myself 'no mistakes in scrapbooking' and with the help of the fantastic Memory Maze chipboard being so strudy, I set about scraping off the whole top layer once completely dry.

Well girls it worked a treat, sanded it back a little and then painted it again with Metallic paint and applied some Inca gold and .................

 'EPIC RESCUE'.....Don't you agree?

Welcome Layout
 

For my next work, I have created this layout for a friend.
  

I have used the 'baby's bottle' and the Nappy Pin from the Memory Maze Baby Set and I applied glue and white flocking on the bottle and  on the teat I have used Metallic Melts embossing powder.
 

 

For the pin I used metallic silver embossing.  The Memory Maze chipboards are just wonderful for embossing.

'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.

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

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.
