Play date with Sally ........................................

This month saw me laid up for a couple of weeks, great I thought that means that I can get 

some extra scrapping done, and I have but not nearly as much as I thought. You know the best laid plans, don't just work sometimes.

My first project is all about special babies, using the precious baby girl these are available in two sizes, card size and scrap size

I have colored the chipboard words with a white stamp pad , glossed and dipped in white fine glitter.

the ribbons are pastel gross grain ribbons now available by the roll off the Memory maze website.                                                                        

  

alternate buttons and pastel ribbons make a beautiful embellishment

Flowers are from www.scrappersgarden.com.au  why not pop over to the website and take a look.

Ribbons are a new addition at Memory Maze.

and it is exciting to use the first of our super bling. 

If you have a special design or a wedding coming up

dont miss this new item.

The Memory Maze Pinned Bling is approx 2 cm .

We will be adding them to the website as they arrive .

"Explore Everyday Moments"

My last share this month is a layout I created for a challenge, I have only used one piece of chipboard this time but it takes pride of place, and is a big focus on the page.

May projects with Alicia Barry

This month I am continuing the theme on Mothers, with some projects featuring photos taken with my babies on Mother's Day last weekend. This first one is using a 12x12 piece as a background. I have done this before and loved it, so I couldn't wait to try again with a different design.

Happy Mother's Day.

I applied gesso to all the chipboard pieces. I also added some texture paste to the background piece. I then sprayed the background with paint sprays, and some glitter embossing powder in random patches. 

For the title piece, I first sprayed with paint mist, then I swiped some pearlescent paint across the top. The butterflies were inked in white, then embossed with glitter. 

For this project, I have used:

Wrought Iron frame 2

 Happy Mother's Day

Butterfly Flourish

Sweetheart blossoms

Mulberry Chrysanthemums

Paper cherry blossoms

Paper carnations

...................................................

Next up, is a layout of my little princess and I.

Mummy's Girl

For the chipboard accent, I have combined two different pieces. I applied gesso to everything, then sponged some green ink. I used some Gelatos to add extra green ink to the top butterfly, along with some pink tinges. 

For the title, I wanted to create an ombre effect. I started by applying gesso, then used green Gelatos to create the mutli toned effect. I also used a little paint spray to help the colours blend.

Finally I have a layout featuring my little girl. This layout was created for a project kit available at www.acrafterspassion.com who stock lots of Memory Maze products in Rockhampton Qld. 

Wonderful and amazing.

I have used a fancy frame to highlight my photo in this layout. I have inked it in white, and then embossed it with glitter to make it really shine and sparkle.
