Amanda Lawrence - March DT Share

Hi everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your long Easter weekend! 4 days off AND chocolate ... sounds like a great deal to me. I'm back with today to share my March Memory Maze projects.
 
Wonder
 
 
I had this really cute picture of my daughter getting up and personal with the camera so I wanted to create a fun and whimsical page to reflect her little personality. The clouds and hot air balloons are perfect for this style. I created the background by inking through a stencil, adding stamping with a background stamp and finally a splattering of mist.
 
 
The hot air balloons were inked in black and they I inlaid paper from the back. The clouds were covered with paper and then I simply doodled with a sharpie around the edge.
 
 
I made two seperate clusters and tucked flower petals in with the chipboard.
 
 
The title was made with a mini chipboard word in the script font and some dymo label.

Forever Friends
 


I love these girls to bits! They're my everything and when we're together the conversation just flows. I wanted to make something special to capture that special bond we have. I have use more of the hot air balloons and clouds ... I LOVE these! Can you tell??



I love the mini words from Memory Maze, they were one of the first products I found from the range. I think they are perfect for making mixed font titles. I have used the word Friends but left it raw and mixed it up with some alpha stickers.




As with the title, I also left the balloons raw, adding patterned paper from the back. The clouds were covered in paper and finished with a doodled line around the edge which adds a touch of whimsy.

Basket Case
 



A cute little layout of my daughter going about her business. The background was made with paint and a stencil.
 

I have used one of the scalloped frames from the scalloped overlays pack. These are great value as you get a range of graduating sizes and can use the positives and negatives.
 

 
I have simply covered it in some patterned paper and then lightly sanded it to give a distressed look to the edges.
