Memory Maze Laser cuts Design Team

Hello everyone, I'm Tracey Campbell and I am super excited to be here with you to share in all the yummy goodness that is Memory Maze.

I have a few layouts to share with you, but I have done something a little different. Instead of showing you a few of the wonderful different chipboard shapes that are produced at Memory Maze I have taken one of the large 12x12 shapes and I will show you how versatile they are. I have managed to create six layouts from this one piece and I sill have some of it left over.  The 12x12 shape that I have used is this one; 

Heart Frames Z0004

Love My Two Girls

For my first layout I have picked an older photo of my daughters Bronte and Paige.  I used both the large and the small frames as a stencil and simply drew around them with a black pen. It is a simple but effective technique to use to create your own background.

After drawing around the frames I splattered some red and black mist across the page.

Then I once again traced around the frames, this time only the inside heart shape and onto some patterned paper. I then cut out the heart shapes and added them into some of the white space heart on the background.

Precious

While digging around at Mums and Dad's place I came across this photo, it is one of the few that I have of Bronte's birth (all the others are on the old computer and I am yet to download them.) I knew straight away that I was taking the photo home with me to scrap. When the package of chipboard that I opened from Memory Maze had the work Precious in it I knew it was destined for this photo.

I have used the large heart frame as a mask in this layout, I placed it down over the base cardstock and lightly sprayed with some Mist.

For the Precious word I have inked it in a gold metallic ink.

The heart shape, that is punched out of the heart frame, has been inked in a light brown ink then heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

Believe 

This page is one of Adrian, my husband and I at our wedding, we released some butterflies after the ceremony and this one stuck around for a while before taking off into the sky.

I have used the outer edge of the very 12x12 Heart Frame in this layout and have built up a very think circle shape with Modeling Paste - I used the frame like a mask and built the Modeling Paste up to the 1.8 mil edge, it was then sprayed and rubbed with Mist to give this textured background.

I gave the small Heart Frame a very simple finish of a Glimmer Mist.

 The Heart Frame was given a few rhinestone gems for the finishing touch.

Play Time

I have used a photo booth strip of four photos of my daughters. They has a great time looking at their reflection on the screen, I just could not get them to look directly at the camera for a good shot. As you can see I have cut roughly a third of the frame from the circle to make a half frame for the photo booth strip.

I wanted a simple white finish on the frame as I thought that it would give a very stylish and elegant look, so I painted a thick coat of white paint and then a top coat of Dimensional Magic to give it a glossy look.

To finish off the layout I teamed the chipboard off with some Prima flowers, some bandage material and a few crystal pins.

Love You More

The photo that is featured in this layout is of Adrian and I before we got married, I consider these photos our engagement photos....even though they were taken some time after our engagement.

I used the heart shapes that popped out of the Hear Frame for this layout and gave them a very simple but effective treatment of covering them in Washi Tape.

Here you can see how great the Washi Tape looks over the chipboard, such a simple, fast and exciting technique.

Washi Tape is a great material to use, it is flexible, repositional and if it isn''t the correct colour you can change the colour by drawing over it. For this layout I didn't have the right colour blue, so I used a Copic Marker and coloured in the Washi Tape to darken the blue.

Love You to the Moon and Back

Another layout of my daughters, Bronte and Paige. I am sure you will all get to know them through my pages and see what cheeky little individuals they are.

Once again I cut into the large Heart Frame, this time I cut out some of the individual hearts so that I had outlines of heats. It was then a matter of painting them white and stamping script words in red over the top.

As well as using the heart outline cut from the large frame I used some of the pop out centre pieces. I painted them pink with acrylic paint and then added some dots in black.

Using some 3 Dimensional Tape I layed the chipboard on top of each other to give some depth to the page.

Thanks for dropping in, I hope you enjoyed me showing you how very versatile just one of the 12x12 shapes are. I would love to see what you can do with the Heart Frame Z0004, so if you do use one, please stop into the comments area and leave me some directions or a link so that I can see your creative.

Hugs
