 Mez here,

Today I have done a set of three cards. Using items in my stash.

# Card 1 Grab a white card blank & Memory Maze chipboard Enjoy every Moment & mandela, colour these before you pull them apart it saves breaking the fine pieces. Then fussy cut the cut apart Clock Faces. Colour the edges with a touch of Vintage Photo ink. Splatter a touch of colour onto the card & assemble.http://www.memorymaze.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=22038

Then cut out Clock Faces from the Cut Apart, inked them up & then assembled the card. http://www.memorymaze.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=22038

Time Flies - Scrapbook Layout

Hey there! Melissa here with you today with my new DT layout for Memory Maze.


For this layout I have used Uniquely Creative's Roots & Wings card stock. I used a doily stencil and sprinkled some peach coloured embossing powder over the top of it before heat setting it.



I used Mintay's 'Day by Day' collection and attached some of them with foam tape to create dimensional layers.



I used silver heat foil for the floral chipboard piece and liquid pearls for the chipboard title.

I also added some Autumn Lane flowers.


To finish off this layout I sprinkled some silver micro beads over and around the flowers.

I hope you liked my latest creation. I will be back again very soon with some more crafty inspiration. Until then...happy crafting!

 I have used a Stamperia Tissue image on top of a painted background using Art by Marlene paints Sand,Tabacco,Tuscan,Kermit just slapped down to give some colour. Then Memory Maze cog stencil to give some depth. I then added some clocks & mechanisms from two different Cut apart sheets & built them up on foam tape.

Journalling tags



 I have been making Journalling tags for my Junk Journals ( I was never going to get into JJ’s). I have cut a 8” x 8” patterned paper in half, then using a mini 4x4 hearts stencil along with Dots & Stuff & Dot Grunge made my background markings. I found a large flower die cut in my stash that I added under my photo that was also cut out & layered on top. I also found the titles in my stash. The tab on the top is a piece of lace curtain that is stapled on. The back is a piece of tea dyed paper for journalling.

Enjoy

Time Flies - Scrapbook Layout

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog for our first post for 2022.

It's Melissa A here today with my new layout, I hope you like it.



For this layout I have used card stock from the beautiful 3Quarter Designs' 'Whispered Memories' collection.

I used the smaller card stock pieces from this collection as my photo matts and I distressed them before machine stitching the edges.


I used lace trimming as a border for my photo and tucked some other lace pieces around my photo as well.

I used embossing powders on the chipboard pieces.


I created some flower clusters using Autumn Lane's handmade flowers and then I added some silver glitter paint to them to make them sparkle.



To finish off this layout, I sprinkled some art stones and blue micro beads over and around the flowers and attached some loose white thread.

I also attached a lace trimming border to the card stock to give it a more vintage look.

I hope you liked my first layout for 2022. I will be back again very soon with some more crafty inspiration.
