MEMORY MAZE .....SOME KIND OF BEAUTIFUL

Welcome Bloggers.  

I trust this post is going to inspire you with creating something special with your chipboard pieces, or alternatively popping over to the MEMORY MAZE SHOP to get your hands on the latest creations.

BEAUTIFUL

As usual and like the rest of us, I am sure, I found the perfect patterened paper for my photo.  However, it was a bit stark, so I applied some gesso to tone down the colours a little bit.

I then used the Memory Maze 'Beautiful' which I inked and  then applied a little Kindy Glitz, which really did set it off.

Then a lovely Memory Maze flourish which I cut up and applied the same technique.

Some stamping, die cuts and more bling and what do you know???? Another completed layout

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS

I have created this card for my sister.  It was her birthday earlier in September and she just loves the colour blue, so  naturally I set about using her fav. colour.

Firstly, I made a 'dress form' and had a little play with my 'Metallic Melts' embossing powders.

Some stamping and of course some lovely Memory Maze Bling.

And there you have it.  My sister was 'over the moon' to receive this card.

A BIT OF NOSTALGIA & FATHER'S DAY CARD by Liz Hocking

Hello Bloggers,

Well another month nearly over and Christmas will be upon us before we know it.  I have recently been getting my granddaughters' albums up to date to include their great grandparents.   

FAMILY

For this layout I started with a sheet of old patterned paper that I have had for some time and applied some Gesso and a little bronze coloured textured paste. I then used the Memory Maze 'flower' stencil and applied it with textured paste to the patt. paper.

I had lots of fun using Gelatos to colour the flowers and they came up a treat, don't you think?

I then used the negative chipboard 'sunburst' and applied gesso and gelatos and some Modge Podge

Once this was all done, I started with my favourite part of any layout, building it all up with embellishments.  I just had to work on the Memory Maze chipboard 'Family' which I used metallic melts.  I so love the effect that these melts give to chippies, they either can be heated flat or you can make them 'bubble'.

and here is the end result.

FATHER'S DAY CARD

Well with Father's day coming around quick in the southern hemisphere, I thought I would try something different.  I usually do not place chipboard on my cards, but with this lovely grand father clock from Memory  Maze I would not resist using it.  I then treated it with
Art Extra Vagance Textured Paste, Gold crackle.

Then with some new patterned paper I set to putting my card together and here is the end result.  I was so happy with the effect the crackle medium had on the grand clock.

STENCILLING TO THE MAX FOR MEMORY MAZE

Hello bloggers, so glad to be with you again this month. 

I am pretty excited to share my latest work with you and hope that it encourages you to play along with some of the wonderful stencils from Memory Maze.

Such an amazing day

Armed with a few of Memory Maze stencils, 8 cm circles and 'Impesto' paste, I set to work. 

I did make 9 circles so as I had a choice when putting my layout together.

Then the fun begins.  I set about placing circles around my page and got to work with my Gelatos and Gesso.  I finished off with some stamping.

I finished off the layout using Memory Maze 'Such an Amazing day' chipboard, which is such a delicate title.

Happy Days

For this layout I had some fun with Gesso swiping my card stock.  I have used Memory Maze chipboard ' Happy Days', which I have inked and then applied white pen swirls and topped off with some Dimensional Magic.

and here is the end result.

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.
