Happiness by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone

This week on the Memory Maze Blog I created a canvas using this quote for a friend to remember to be happy for herself and not let people get to her and cause her the pain and stress 

I used Memory Maze Door Wire Stencil with some Little Birdie Embossing Paste which I got from Random Arts 

It's so fun to use, it goes on like a thin paste then when you heat it, 
it puffs - the more heat the more puff it's so much fun and worked excellent with Door Wire Stencil

I then painted it with Finnabair's Metallique Soft Satin Paint 
I went over the whole canvas with Finnabair's Opal Magic Vintage Silk Wax for an added dimension and to lighten the colour a little 

I then painted the Lace Scalloped Nested Circles clear gesso then with Finnabair's Metallique White Pearl Paint for a nice shimmer

I then used some Cocoa Vanilla pieces from the Die Cut Ephemera pack and some Mermaid Balls scattered around

Wandering by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This time on the Memory Maze blog I created a layout with a photo my son in law took of my daughter at the beach
I love the way he captured her just wandering along 

Make sure to check out the Memory Maze Store because we do custom orders as well

I didn't do a lot to this page as I wanted the photo to stand out

I used the River Pebbles Stencil with sand mixed with 3D Matte Gel

It has great texture and dimension

The Circle Mandala Chipboard I painted with Finnabair Art Alchemy Paint Sparks Unicorn Hair and I brushed a little bit of the paint over the sand for a little shimmer

I used a mould from Prima for the scrolls then used two of the Art Alchemy waxes in the new colours - Old Denim and Blue Lagoon 

I feel like they look a bit like waves and the blue adds some extra colour to the neutral colours of the layout

The quote seemed appropriate for the photo and is from one of Tim Holtz's sticker books 
I used Platinum glass glitter for a bit of extra bling

Enjoy the Moment by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone my turn on the Memory Maze blog today 

Make sure you check out the Memory Maze Store and check out what's new this week and see the blog for what the team have been up too

We also have an Instagram account so make sure if your in Insta you go add us memorymazelaser

and I'm slowly working my way through my daughter's wedding photos 

There's no hurry as they don't want an album so I'm doing what I want with the photos that I love the most

The girls did their own hair and make up which turned out beautiful

This is what the Heart with Wire Insert looks like except with all the hexagons in it 

I sat and glued all the hexagons onto a piece of cardstock with the outer edge but not the full frame 

Once everything was glued down and dry I added Colour Blast Heavy White Gesso over the whole thing - I did a couple of coats to make sure I got into all the grooves 

Then as you can see above I used the Colour Blast Colour Spray LOVE painting into the grooves as steadily as possible but as you can see that didn't quite happen I went over the edges a bit but it added to it I think

Then I used some Journaling Cards from the Prima range Midnight Garden (it's so pretty) and a couple of flowers from the Ephemera pack

On the Words Fancy - Smile and the Enjoy the Moment I rubbed some Finnabair Metallique Wax in the Brushed Iron to add a contrast colour

Then on the Prima Junk Yard Findings Globe I painted the back with some Finnabair Mettalique Acrylic Paint in Red Wine which suited the flowers in her hair and is a very similar colour to the Bridesmaids skirts 

Then I randomly placed different sized white flowers around the project

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
