'Sweet' By Elisa Ablett - a sad goodbye ...

Hi Everyone, 

Elisa here with my last post as part of the design team for Memory Maze. A sad goodbye as I have really enjoyed my time here on the team and can't thank Sally and the team enough for this fantastic opportunity....but I felt it was time to move on to new Scrappy Adventures!! Stay tuned.....

Here is my layout for today, a mixed media girly layout with loads of colour !

I coated all my yummy Memory Maze chipboard in white gesso spray (or just gesso or white paint) and set them aside to dry.

I created the background using Colour Blast Shimmer Dusts and Pastes plus a smidge of Colour Blast Sunshine Shimmer Cube as well and added some stamping and splashes of black ink.

Here are some close ups of the finer details!!

I wanted to showcase the amazing range of RAW Mixed Media Tags designed by Memory Maze and also inspired by my designs which is really exciting. Here is a photo below of a few of the great designs, more of which are on the website now. Mixed Media Tags.

Great for all types of mixed media as they are sturdy and strong and can cope with a lot of mediums including wet mediums such as watercolours.

'All Boy' Mixed Media layout by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone, 

It's my turn up on the Memory Maze blog today with a grungy boy layout featuring some awesome grunge arrows, tag frame and circle title and dot stencil.

Here are some close ups of the finer details!

I painted the chipboard pieces with the same lovely metallic paint as the background and included a little black here and there to match the black circles.

I also used a graduating dot stencil from Memory Maze with black texture paste to create texture over the top of metallic paint.

Here are some of the gorgeous Memory Maze Products used -

'Super Star' by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone, 

Happy Sunday!

School holidays are here and if you have school aged children and a bit of time off over the holidays - it's crafting time :-) 

My turn up on the blog today with a boy mixed media layout using the awesome 'Totally Rad' paper collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studios and an equally awesome DIY star embellishment from Charms Creations. Check out the links below to the lovely list of products used from Memory Maze including my new favourites the chipboard stars - so versatile!

To create the star background, I used the Memory Maze mini Star stencil with Dusty Charcoal Colour Blast paste and splatters of Sunshine Colour Blast Shimmer Spray. 

I also coloured the chipboard in black versafine ink to go with my yellow, grey and black colour scheme. Little pops of yellow and gold stars, splatters and paper complete the layout!

Here are some close ups of the finished layout -

'Fun in the Summer' by Elisa Ablett

Hi everyone,

Elisa here from the design team with my project for today, a colourful fun beachy layout.

To start my layout I drew a few circles using my waterproof markers in black by tracing around the outside of round containers from around my kitchen, you could use lids of plastic containers or plates etc. Then I used my Prima Watercolour Confection pans to create three large watercolour circles for my background. 

Then using a gorgeous sea themed stencil from Memory maze, I used my black markers again to trace around the insides of the stencil creating turtles and bubbles and shells for my background as well.

Add some stamping...and then gesso your chipboard pieces (let dry) then colour using your watercolours or you could use colour markers or distress crayons.

Here is the link to the Memory Maze Store - http://www.memorymaze.com/ to view all the products used in this layout.
