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

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
