First Day with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with you today with a Travelers Notebook layout using the handmade paper from my 'mixed media bckgrounds' blog post on the 17 February 2019. Be sure to check that out if you haven't seen how I made that yet. Let's take a look...

For my youngest son's first day of school, of course I took a myriad of photos! My older son is not so keen on classroom pics anymore (apparently he is too mature for that now) so I wanted to capture this special first day of school for this little man. The perfect way to do this was in the A5 Travelers Notebook (TN) from The Travelers Notebook online. I plan to capture my memories this year by using a TN with key stories / photos in it each month.

The Memory Maze pocket pieces are perfect for this! If you havent heard of the Pocket Piece collection, this is a series of acrylic pieces designed to be used together for memory keeping particular topics of interest - this one being a focus on school / education. This layout showcases the gorgeous "First Day" acrylic piece in the shape of a red apple.

This acrylic piece, and many more, can be found on the Memory Maze website here. The background paper I made using a variety of stencils and stamps was cut and adhered to the pages of the TN. The photos were backed using book paper and black cardstock. The circle stickers were from the Ali Edwards 'Learn' kit. I loved how the green stickers complimented the colours in the background paint colours. Lastly, I adhered the acrylic piece using Helmar Quick Dry glue.

Monthly Travelers Notebooks for 2019

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with you today to share some of my memory keeping plans for 2019. Today I show you a great idea for how to use Travelers Notebooks and Memory Maze acrylic words to get started with your memory keeping or planning for this year!

I am changing up my memory keeping for 2019 and will be trying out a monthly format of photos using an A5 size Travelers Notebook (TN). This is from The Travelers Notebook online and is 5.8x8.25 inches. All the details about the TNs I use can be found here. After completing my Documenting December album in this format, I really fell in love with it. The idea is that I will continue doing my daily memory planner (yes, I am still to complete my 2018 one) for our every day photos and will use these TNs for photos I'd like to highlight or tell stories about.

The acrylic words from Memory Maze are a lovely 3mm thickness and can be custom made to your requirements. There are some examples online of words you can order but Memory Maze is ideal for those special orders - unique names etc. You can choose the size of the word (height or length), choose from a wide range of fonts and colours. Check out more details by clicking here. Here is a closer look at the beautiful white acrylic.

Fun Times with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with a layout for you using one of the new wooden words from Memory Maze! They are just adorable and fantastic for those scrappy layouts or even a card with the word as the feature.

For this 6x8 inch layout, I used some gelli printed paper for the background (I just love making my own patterned paper in this way!) and simply added on a photo of my youngest son having fun climbing on the kinder equipment. I snapped this shot recently when I went along for a Mother's Day afternoon tea. Given the background paper is so busy, I went for minimal embellishments on this layout.

I added some Memory maze acrylic hearts and some letter stickers to finish off the title. Some doodling with a fineliner pen to add a border and it's all finished!

XOXO with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with another 6x8 inch scrapbook layout using some Memory Maze acrylics, chipboard, stamps and stencil.

This layout is of my younger son cuddling our puppy - it's just adorable and I wanted the photo to be the main focus of the layout with a subtle but effective background. I used a brayer to create the various colours in the background, taking the palette from the photo - mainly reds with a bit of blue. I then used Memory Maze rubber stamps coloured with Posca paint pens to stamp on the background.

The title was also coloured using a white Posca paint pen. The title is a chipboard piece that can be found online here. I added some stencilling with black paint to the layout using the Noughts and Crosses mini stencil.

I finished the layout with adhering the photo and heart acrylic embellishments. I love how the red hearts compliment the colours in the photo.

I hope you enjoyed this layout and will give this mixed media look a go on your projects. If you are interested in any of the Memory Maze products, be sure to contact your local craft store or Memory Maze for your local stockist where we can place our local sales reps in contact with them.
