Some Lovely Cards by Jan

Hi everyone Jan on t he blog today., and I will be sharing some cards that I have made with you all before my move up to the Sunshine State.

I find the Memory Maze chipboard just fills the gaps on cards so well.

The flourishes just complete the cards.

Thanks for Looking Jan

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

Acrylic earrings by Sarah

Hello crafty friends, I am here to showcase some of the new smaller acrylic pieces by Memorymaze Lasercuts.

You would have to agree that these goregous acrylic pieces, designed both for earrings and brooches are just so unique. Designed especially by Memorymaze Lasercuts, I have had such fun putting these together as little gifts coming up to Christmas.

The range of designs, much more than is pictured here, can be found online at http://www.memorymaze.com.au. I have adhered 4mm surgical steel earring posts to the acrylic pieces and positioned them on some kraft cardstock I have cut using a die in my Big Shot machine. Here's some of my favorite designs;

I hope this post will inspire you to give these crafts a go - so easy to make and fantastic Christmas gifts!

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

Best Buddies by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

My project this week for the Blog is a layout of a photo from my son's 18th Birthday Party

These are his close mates that he's gone to school with 

Two from Primary School and the other was from High School which they all went too
Don't forget to check out the rest of the Blog for the latest updates and creations from the other Design Team Members
And remember to visit the Memory Maze Website to see the huge rage of products we have so you can get your favourite store to stock the product or if they already do get that something special you really love in

I started of by using the  Lots of Squares Stencil with the Finnabair Graphite Texture Paste

I raised the photo up with some cardboard and glued it with the Helmar Acid free glue the rest of the chipboard I used the Helmar Tacky Craft Glue

On the Best Buddies I used Finnabair Metallique Wax in Old Silver but then went over it with Fire Ruby because the words didn't stand out enough

On all the Cogs and Pulleys, 12 x 12 All there is is Cogs for everything and the Clock Face I used the Finnabair Metallique Old Silver Wax

I love how silver it is the chipboard actually looks like metal
