'Super Star' by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone, 

Happy Sunday!

School holidays are here and if you have school aged children and a bit of time off over the holidays - it's crafting time :-) 

My turn up on the blog today with a boy mixed media layout using the awesome 'Totally Rad' paper collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studios and an equally awesome DIY star embellishment from Charms Creations. Check out the links below to the lovely list of products used from Memory Maze including my new favourites the chipboard stars - so versatile!

To create the star background, I used the Memory Maze mini Star stencil with Dusty Charcoal Colour Blast paste and splatters of Sunshine Colour Blast Shimmer Spray. 

I also coloured the chipboard in black versafine ink to go with my yellow, grey and black colour scheme. Little pops of yellow and gold stars, splatters and paper complete the layout!




Here are some close ups of the finished layout -

12 x 12 scrapbook layout - Live the Moment by Lynn Good

Hi there, Lynn here with a 12x12 scrapbook layout featuring not only the Memory Maze Chipboard but also the stunning metal flowers and stencil.





I started with 13 Arts Paper from Aria Story Collection.  I created the background using the Memory Maze stencil and whipped spackle randomly around the area of the photo.  I have then used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink, Fossilized Amber and water, drying between the layers. 



The Square Mesh Grunge Chipboard has been painted black with Dylusions Paint.  This co-ordinates well with the kaisercraft stamp in the background.


The title "Live the Moment" has also been painted with Dylusions paint and when dry I have added a coat of dimensional magic to make it pop.


Two Memory maze metal flowers have been adhered with 3D Gloss Medium and sprinkled with Micro Beads.




Splatters of white and black ink bring the layout together.

50 today by Candy Chelepy

Welcome to my first tutorial for the month of April
for Memory Maze
Wow can not believe it is the beginning of April how time flies
when you are having fun.
It is my nieces birthday on the weekend and she is having a party
the Big 50.
So I thought I would make her an album to keep all her precious photos in.











I started by using a Kaisercraft 6x8 inch D ring binder and with some gold paint,
paint around the edges and the spine iside and out.



I cut papers to fit the front, back and the spine of the folder.
Mine measured 8 1/4 x 9 inches and the spine piece was 1 1/2 x 9 inches.
I distressed around the edges of my papers and taped down using wide strong tape.
I had bought some lace packs from a recent craft show, using the cream
lace I measured the front,back and spine. Cut out the rectangle then
using the soft gel I glued down.
I then cut the pink flower lace to size 6x9 inches and glued that down as well
onto the spine, fron and back. Then added a fancy lace ribbon piece to the front.

Front


Back


I used the oval, swirls, letters, numbers and the word love.
I firstly mixed some white and gold embossing powder together.
Covered them with the versamark then a good covering of the powder.
I used the gold embossing powder on the numbers, letters and the word love.

Glue the swirls to the front of the oval piece, then glue your photo underneath.
Glue this onto the front of your album.
Add your flowers,bling swirls and the rest of your chippies using good glue.
We don't want these to fall off.

Ride the Waves- By Leanne Nankervis


Hi Everyone
Leanne here today to share another project for Memory Maze Chipboard.

Ride the Waves

Today I'm sharing a sea themed layout of my son Dylan riding the waves behind a boat on a boom net, When we were holidaying in Coral Bay Western Australia back in 2011,when we were travelling around Australia.



I created the background using a variety of stamps and stencils.


Close up of the Memory Maze Title I used Ride the Waves
I painted with distress paint, and used the net background stamp over it, then I used glossy accents over the top. I also used the Spots and Dots stencil with modelling paste in the background.

Scrapbook layout - There is only one you - by Lynn Good

Good morning - well march is nearly over - where is the year going?  Today I have made a layout using the beautiful double heart vintage frame.





I have used 13 Arts paper - feeling blue from the Aura Rosa Collection,  I love this paper as it is thick and withstands mixed media and larger chipboard.

I have created the background using the Memory Maze Dots and Stuff stencil and Nuvo Mousse Mother of Pearl randomly around the page.





I used gesso and a stiff brush to get a bit of texture on  the  Memory Maze double heart vintage frame before embossing it with Stampendous Embossing Enamel - Shabby Blue.







The Memory Maze title has been painted with a dark brown acrylic paint and topped with Glossy Accents.





The layout came together beautifully with the Petaloo flowers, glass beads, micro beads, Liquid pearls and Distress Glitter Dust.

Here are some close ups:
