Scrapbook Layout - Hello

Hey there crafty people! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog. Melissa A here today sharing a vibrant red and black coloured layout.


I have used cardstock and elements from 13 Arts' Victoriana collection for this layout.

I arranged the elements around my photo and used mounting tape on some of them when attaching to create some dimensional layers.


I heat embossed the variety of chipboard pieces from Memory Maze.


I created some flower clusters around my photo and then sprinkled some art stones over the top and around them.


I hope you liked my darker style layout this time and found some inspiration from it.

I will be back again very soon with some more crafty inspiration. Until then...happy crafting!

Love you - Scrapbook Layout

Hey there everyone!

Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog - Melissa A here with you today and I have a beautiful love themed layout to share, being February, the month of love and all.


For this layout I have used cardstock from 3Quarter Designs' 'True Love' collection and did some background stenciling using a hearts stencil and white gesso. I also sprinkled some silver glitter over the top while it was still wet.


I heat embossed the heart chipboard and title (see product listing below for colours used), and attached some white string beads over the top of the large hearts.

I also inked the edges of my photos with green ink.


I fussy cut images from Mintay's 'Homemade' collection and attached them around my photo, using mounting tape on some of them for added dimension.

I created some flower clusters with Autumn Lane's handmade flowers and also attached some of Autumn Lane's resins around the clusters.


To finish off, I sprinkled some micro beads over and around the flowers.

I will be back again very soon with some more crafty inspiration. Until then...happy crafting!

Then Memory Maze cog stencil to give some depth. I then added some clocks & mechanisms from two different Cut apart sheets & built them up on foam tape.

Journalling tags



 I have been making Journalling tags for my Junk Journals ( I was never going to get into JJ’s). I have cut a 8” x 8” patterned paper in half, then using a mini 4x4 hearts stencil along with Dots & Stuff & Dot Grunge made my background markings. I found a large flower die cut in my stash that I added under my photo that was also cut out & layered on top. I also found the titles in my stash. The tab on the top is a piece of lace curtain that is stapled on. The back is a piece of tea dyed paper for journalling.

Enjoy

Time Flies - Scrapbook Layout

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog for our first post for 2022.

It's Melissa A here today with my new layout, I hope you like it.



For this layout I have used card stock from the beautiful 3Quarter Designs' 'Whispered Memories' collection.

I used the smaller card stock pieces from this collection as my photo matts and I distressed them before machine stitching the edges.


I used lace trimming as a border for my photo and tucked some other lace pieces around my photo as well.

I used embossing powders on the chipboard pieces.


I created some flower clusters using Autumn Lane's handmade flowers and then I added some silver glitter paint to them to make them sparkle.



To finish off this layout, I sprinkled some art stones and blue micro beads over and around the flowers and attached some loose white thread.

I also attached a lace trimming border to the card stock to give it a more vintage look.

I hope you liked my first layout for 2022. I will be back again very soon with some more crafty inspiration.
