Magical Milestones layout by Tania

Hi everyone! I'm so happy to be here sharing my first post for Memory Maze as a DT member. I have such a gorgeous pack of goodies to work through and create with. My first project is a Mixed Media layout, with a watercolour background! I'm quite fond of this type of background.

I layered up with some stenciling and lots of stamping. The background stencil I used is this cool one from Memory Maze:

Inverse bricks by bricks small

My chosen chipboard pieces are the Script mini words, title and the gorgeous set (6), of butterflies:

Wire butterflies 100 x 120

My watercolour background was made with a mix of watercolour paints and Dylusions Sprays mixed with water. I coloured all of my chipboard pieces with some Smooch Accent ink, which I have had in my stash for a long time! It's perfect for these pieces. Just a layer of Gesso first, then the ink goes on nice and smooth!!!

Before adding my photo, I added some paper layers and used some pocket cards and other bits of ephemera. 

I love these butterflies, can imagine a million more projects with them. Thanks for visiting!!!

Memorable Moments by Elisa Ablett

Hi Crafters,

My turn on the Memory Maze blog today with a mixed media layout featuring loads of awesome products from the Memory Maze shop.

To start my page I used a great stencil that has combined butterflies with flourishes, always a great combo to be used on a feminine layout. I used modelling paste through the stencil to that I could apply colour over the top but still have the texture and depth of the paste underneath.

For the colourful background I used the new Lindy's Magical Shakers which as soon as I saw I knew I just had to have - as easy as spraying your page with water then shaking your colours onto the page and watch them spread!!

Here are some close ups of the major pieces used from the Memory Maze shop -
