I've had a lovely time playing with all the wonderful Memory Maze chipboard pieces this month. I have three new layouts to share with you all today. 

Perfect Hat

My daughter loves to go through the bin ... gross I know. We've given up on a regular bin and instead have a small bench top one out of reach. Little bin = little lid and the perfect size for little heads! 

I used frames from the scalloped overlays pack which I inked in yellow. This piece was going to end up under my photo so I chopped it off to use here instead. They looked a little plain just in the yellow so I decided to stitch them on in a contrast colour to break it up. 

I used the 'perfect' word from the banner words pack as part of my title. I simply inked it and then highlighted the writing with my silver Sharpie. The title is layered over the other piece of scalloped overlay. 

I also used the largest size of overlay to go under the main area of my photo. The pack comes with several sizes all nested inside one another. It was the perfect size to layer over a paper doiley.

Bus Trip Selfies

Being a Work from home Mum and running your own business has it's perks. Being my own boss still allows me to have the flexibility to be there for my kids when I need to. I was lucky enough to be able to head along on a recent excursion with the class. We hit traffic on the way home on the bus so amused ourselves by taking some selfies. 

I'm obsessed with stars! I love all the different types of chipboard stars that Memory Maze has to offer. They are the perfect accent for my boy pages. This smaller one is from the multipack and I have simply covered it in some patterned paper.

The other stars are from the 12x12 stars set. This sheet is such great value and you get sooo many pieces. A big set of nested stars fill the centre and all the other space on the sheet is filled with various size stars. I finished off my cluster with a few of the people from the micro sheet. Covering them in paper was a little tedious but well worth the effort.

Sleep

My daughter always sits on the couch while I vacuum. She doesn't hate the vacuum but I wouldn't say she's a fan of it either. I went down the hall to do the bedrooms and when I came back I found her fast asleep. She's certainly not one to just nod off so this was a very rare moment.  

I used the flower swirl piece for this page which I inked in pastel green. I they added some pen to the petals and some adhesive pearls to the centres of the flowers. 

There was a part of the design that would be completely covered by the flowers so I cut it off and rearranged it to poke out the other side of the cluster.

For the main area I used one of the nested inverted corner squares which I covered in some patterned paper. I split the frame apart under the photo area which gives the illusion of it actually being a rectangle.

Other products used:
