Fairy Sophie by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

For my project this week I've chosen a photo of my Goddaughter from a few years ago in a fairy costume I had some Memory Maze chipboard Fairies just waiting to be used when I remembered this photo

Make sure to check out the Memory Maze Blog for lots of inspiration and to see the new upcoming designs
We are also on Facebook and Instagram so make sure to check us out on social media as well

I painted the fairy using the Finnabair Art Alchemy Paints Metallique Rustic Brown, Wild Fuchsia, Pure Sunshine, Fresh Orange, White Pearl and Opal Magic Yellow-Blue

I mixed Helmar Super-Tac Glue with some glitter to cover the Criss Cross, Mini Scribble Heart I used

Here's what the heart looked like when it dried

I added some extra colour with Colour Blast Colour Artist Inks Slipper, Citrus and Spice just letting them run down the canvas and into the muslin and glitter I had added

After placing my photo where I wanted it with Helmar Acid Free Glue I stuck the Fairy into place with Super-Tac Glue after adding a flower to her hand

I added some extra embellishments for some dimension and interest  and glued the down with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

My project for the Memory Maze Blog was created around the quote

Make sure you visit the Memory Maze Laser Cuts Store and see what's new 
And check the blog for all the latest inspiration the Team have created for you 

I had a timber frame and painted it with some Colour Blast Heavy White Gesso so that the Dylusions Paint in Cherry Pie

I used 3D Matte Gel through the Swirl Stencil onto some plain card once it was dry I painted that with Cherry Pie as well

When that was dry I scrapped some of the white gesso across the raised pattern so you could see it

I painted the Wrought Iron 22 with some Art Alchemy Fresh Orange and glued it down with the Helmar Premium Craft Glue

With the Feather Flourishes I used the Art Alchemy Fresh Orange again and then glued them down with the Helmar Premium Craft Glue

I then added some flowers, a flair button and a journal card

Gorgeous by Suzanne Franin

Hey everyone Suzanne here

This weeks project for Memory Maze Blog is a photo of my daughter and two of her besties having fun

Don't forget to check out the rest of the Memory Maze Blog for inspiration and new products that come out quite regularly 

I painted the cardstock with black gesso

I used the Swirl Stencil on the background cardstock with 3D Matte Gel then covered it all with the gesso

I then went over the pattern with Art Alchemy Opal Magic Vintage Silk Wax

I painted the Fancy Frame with Art Alchemy Jade Impasto paint then used the 3D Matte Gel to give the frame a textured pattern 

Once the gel was dry I rubbed the Vintage Silk wax over the whole frame

On the chipboard word Gorgeous I used the Raspberry Pink Art Alchemy Impasto Paint for a pop of another colour

Added one of my favourite embellishments - a flair button

Behind the frame I put on of the Project Life cards I've had in my stash for ever and never got around to starting the album

The 3 metal flowers I painted with the Raspberry Pink Impasto then rubbed the Vintage Silk Wax and then added some crystals to the centres

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This week on the Memory Maze Blog I created a canvas for a friend who lost her dad last year and every time I saw this photo on Facebook I knew I had to do something with it

And it just so happens it was her birthday a couple of days ago so what better present that a lovely memory

Don't forget to check out the rest of the blog for inspiration and check out and see the new products that are always coming out

I started off with some impasto on the background with the Diamond Stencil

Then I used Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Cubes in Singin the Blues and Just Blue on the grooves of the diamonds

With the Vintage Corners I painted them with Colour Shimmer Cubes in Snow White just for a bit of shimmer

On the Hearts a Pair I used the Snow White and Fire Engine with a bit of the Snow White over the top

After it dried it gave it a crackle look

Words Fancy Awesome, Spectacular I also used the Fire Engine

After finishing with all the embellishing I used the Micro Beads with a bit of Helmar Super-Tac Glue mixed together

I used some paper flowers, a metal circle and a paper clay key hole

Here I used a paper clay heart with wings I thought it was perfect for this picture

Book Cover by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

My turn on the  blog today and I thought I'd decorate the front of a book I got cheap out shopping the other day

Make sure you check out the rest of the blog for great inspiration from the Design Team and see what's new at the Memory Maze Website as the Boss seems to have a great imagination and brings new things out all the time

I'm not sure if I'll use this as a note book or as an Art Journal yet but I'm sure it will get used eventually 

I found this book in a store for $5

I then used black gesso with a roller it gave it such a smooth finish

In this corner I added a paper clay ceiling rose a metal piece and the Mini Frayed Edge Chiffon Rhinestone Flower Light Pink with a few little white flowers 

The pink chiffon flower is so pretty I could use it on everything LOL

I started buy putting the Scribble Frames Two and Embellishments down, I added a doily then added some straws that I cut at different lengths, I then put a silver metal circle under the Owl Swirly

I added the key to the side and some muslin to the other side 

I used some Pineapple Fusion I won from The Resin Rainbow it came with a whole bag of goodies then I added a paper clay ring of flowers over the top to make it look a bit like a wreath on a door with a little resin heart 

Along with the paper clay key hole

Then I added the Wrought Iron 30 to look like some iron work on the door

I added lots of the timber bits that you get with your canvases and then added one of the globes from the Globes set

I used a metal that had diamonds around the edge and added some flowers along with some Mermaid Beads

I had some of the Chicken Wire Small I cut it into two pieces and used it in two of the corners of the book

I used a metal corner and added a glass bead as well as some Mermaid Beads and some Diamond Gems

I love flair buttons and this one is from Flutterby Designs

The little camera was from The Resin Rainbow as well

I went around and added bling and Mermaid beads where I thought they were needed 

Then I used some Finnabair Art Alchemy acrylic paint that's gone a bit thick- I used my finger, so I rubbed it over everything then I used some Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dust in Lollipop that I have made up in a bottle with water spraying as I went till I was happy with the finish

And I glued everything down with Helmar Premium Craft Glue

I had a tassel so I attached some string so I could use it to mark what page I was up to in the book
