Hey there everyone! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog, you have Melissa A with you today with my newest Design Team creation.

I have used a more simpler card stock for this layout so the focus is more on what's happening on the top, rather than in the background.

But I did do a little background stenciling which I sprinkled with some yellow glitter. The purpose for this was to bring in the yellow colour and make it pop a little.

I have used half a large clock chipboard and also 2 different sized circles for the photo, which I have coloured using embossing powders.

I also used embossing powder on the title.

I have also layered up some cut outs and added some bright coloured flowers to make it pop.

I hope you liked my latest creation.

I will be back soon with some more crafty inspiration. Until then...Happy Crafting!

Adorable - Scrapbook Layout

Hey there crafty friends! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog, Melissa here today sharing my newest creation for the team. 

I have used the Serendipity collection from Uniquely Creative for this layout. 

I have done a few layers on this one. I added a smaller strip of cardstock onto my main cardstock. Then I used mounting tape to attach the top piece before attaching a smaller piece of another cardstock as my photo matt.

I attached some lace trimming to the top piece of cardstock and I also did some messy machine stitching along the lines.

I did some border punching to the first piece of cardstock and added some crystal bling to it.

I fussy cut the images from one of the sheets and layered them up around my photo and I painted the large chipboard piece and sprinkled some silver glitter on top while it was still wet to make it sparkle.

I added a few flowers and then sprinkled some craft sprinkles over and around them to finish it off.

I hope you liked my latest layout. I will be back very soon with some more crafty inspiration but until then..happy crafting!

Accept who you are - Scrapbook Layout

Hey there! Melissa A with you today sharing a new male style scrapbook layout created for Memory Maze, using lots of their awesome chipboard.

I have used 3Quarter Designs 'About Him' card stock for this layout as well as cuttables from Memory Maze.

I did some background stenciling with black gesso and heat embossed the chipboard pieces.

I then added some Autumn Lane flowers. Some people will say flowers don't belong on a male layout, but that's the beauty of this craft - there is no right or wrong way of doing things. If you want to add flowers to a male layout, then go right ahead because I think it still looks masculine even with the flowers.

And there you have it. I hope you liked it and found some inspiration from it.

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