Easter is almost here: Alicia's DT reveal

Hi. Today I am continuing our theme of Easter, starting with a project that I am very proud of. This began as a wire Easter egg ferris wheel that I found at Woolworths of all places.

 I teamed it with some gorgeous Graphic 45 papers and of course some Memory Maze chipboard and flowers to create this fun centre piece.

I created the box frame at the bottom from plain sheets of chipboard. The sides were covered in punched strips of patterned paper.

 For the title frame, I inked the piece white, then added colour with an ink dauber, before embossing with glitter.

 The tiny birds were inked in white then embossed with glitter embossing powder.

Memory Maze products used:

Oval ornate small

Blue birds

Mixed pink and white mulberry chrysanthemums

Mixed pink mulberry carnations

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

Next up is a fun pic from my children's Easter egg hunt from last year. I have again used Graphic 45 papers for this layout. For the background, I swiped some gesso, then sprinkled glitter embossing powder. Once heat set, I sponged ink over the hexagon stencil.

For the chipboard pieces, I inked first, then applied diamond stickles over the top.

I fussy cut lots of floral pieces from patterned paper, then added lots of Memory Maze flowers over the top.

Red and pink mulberry paper chrysanthemums

Pink mulberry paper cherry blossoms

White mulberry paper cherry blossoms

Pink mulberry paper carnation flowers

2-tone turquoise sweetheart blossoms

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

Finally I have a layout of my boys from their Easter hat parade this year. Kyan is getting a little older now, so we went with a Minecraft themed hat. Being a boy layout, I went a bit grungy this time.

 The chipboard flourish was a larger piece that a cut into smaller sections, so I could better manipulate the way they fit around the photos. I inked all the pieces in two colours of ink, then added additional paint spray and ink after they were adhered to the page.

Memory Maze products used:

Multi beehive stencil

Flourish swirl

Thanks for stopping to have a look, I'd love to hear what you think.

A little bit of Memory Maze Chipboard Magic~ DT Share by Donna O'leary

Hello all...  So glad to be back to share another fun lot of projects I have created.  Our theme this month is Easter!  So I have a hopping project to start of with and then a special gift I made my daughter for her 21st.  I have also created a layout to share,  so go grab a coffee/tea and relax.   ENJOY

EASTER DELIGHT

I went to spotlight the other day and my daughter picked up this wee basket to put her so called shopping in,  I had to giggle at her, she is such a cutie-pie.  She had been so good that I decided that she could bring the basket home.  Later that night I sunk into her room and borrowed it.  Much to her delight the next day she got a bit of a surprise. I applied lace around the outer ring and then used some lovely Memory Maze(MM) flowers and MM chipboard to decorate it.

I embossed the little chicken in a pastel yellow Wow Embossing Powder (WEP) and a pink glitter WEP for the larger eggs.

I spaced my flowers out and in-between each flower I added and embossed MM chipboard egg.

HAPPY EASTER

Inside the basket I made a Easter card,  this time using a cute bunny chipboard.  I had two of these so I cut the bunny out if the second one and placed it on top of the other bunny to give it some height.  I embossed the bunny with a very cool white puff WEP which made the bunny look fluffy.

I added some stunning wee bright flowers from MM and a MM grass chipboard.  I coloured the grass with Gelatos

and again embossed my wee eggs with some glitter embossing powders.  Ruby loves them both.

 A SPECIAL GIFT

I love making gifts for the special people in my life,  I found the middle jar in a op ship and thought it would be really good to make something with it.  My first job was to remove all the labels of the three jars.  I then completely covered the whole jar with versa mark so my embossing powder would stick.  I then got the top end of a little paint brush ans doodled in the embossing powder.  Once I had the desired effect I heat set the embossing powder.

I was over the moon when Sally (owner of Memory Maze) said that she will be stocking flowers,  as you can tell I love them!  I got a huge parcel of some lovely blooms!  A must have for any scrappers stash.

To decorate the jars with the flowers and and old necklace I used a hot glue gun.  Very handy and fast.  Just perfect for the job!

I  found a Prima butterfly that was the perfect match for my project.

Two more close ups of the details

I am happy to report she loved this present and it now sits proudly in her bedroom.

SWEET DREAMER

I fell in love with this photo of Amber-Leigh.  It was taken at her big sisters 21st and she thought the props I had brought for the photo booth were cool and wore them all night. Lol apart from myself and Sammy I don't think I actually got any photos of  them :-) 

This layout is full of MM goodies, hidden in this photos is a clock, bird and leaves plus a number of MM flowers.  I coloured the MM with metallic rub-ons.

More of the stunning flowers MM now has in stock.

For the banner I inked the outer edge with distress ink and then coloured the  words with a black marker.  For the flower vine I used a mixture of gelatos and a black marker for the detail.

again the same as above for the word banner and a mixture of run-on for the three birds.

I love those buds...  I need so many more of those as they are great fillers for projects.

Tracey Campbell's April Reveal

Hello and welcome to April. This month our theme is of course Easter. Who doesn't love this time of the year? The weather is changing and it is the best excuse in the world to break that diet and gorge all the chocolate you can eat with the perfect excuse that it is.......Easter!!! 

Delight

My  first layout to share is one of my two daughters and the absolute delight they had on their faces when they discovered the basket of eggs at the bottom of their beds on Easter morning.

I used some raspberry distressing ink for the frame and simply painted the ornate frame to give it a bight and bold colour.

 

For the chick and the fancy eggs I painted with the same raspberry distressing paint and then coated with Dimensional Magic and sprinkled with coloured glitter.

Memory Maze Product Used:

 Product ID : SO690 Number Chick and Egg

Our Bunnies

My second reveal is another of Bronte and Paige and some of the chocolates they got for 2013, these white chocolate bunnies where a hug hit, almost too cute to eat.  I used a simple technique of inking the chipboard with white ink and then brushing a soft pastel chalk over the fancy eggs.
