{Life is a puzzle}

Hey there crafty people!

Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog, Melissa A here with you today and I have a new DT layout for you inspired by the fantastic puzzle pieces chipboard available from Memory Maze!

The card stock I used for this layout is from 3Quarter Designs' 'De ja Vu' collection.

It already had a brilliant background, so all I added to it was some black inked circles.

I used a large chipboard frame for my photo, which I covered using silver heat activated foil.

I arranged some flowers around the frame, which are also now available from Memory Maze, as well as some fluffy flower stems.

I attached some background chipboard pieces, which I covered using embossing powder and attached some large puzzle piece chipboard under and around the flowers, which I coloured using distressed oxides which when water is added to, create a great effect.

I cut out some yellow butterflies from some Memory Maze cuttable sheets and attached them randomly around the layout.

I attached some beads around the frame and also weaved them between the flowers.
To finish off I added some coloured beads, glitter to the flowers, some twine made into bows, some yellow mica fragments and a chipboard title which I covered using embossing powder.

I really hope you liked my latest layout and it has inspired you in your own creations. I will be back again very soon with some more inspiration. Until then...Happy crafting! :)

Sweet Dreams - Gangster Kitty

 Good afternoon team, Fiona here, back from some time off. Today I wanted to share my creation using Dina Wakley gloss sprays for the background and to make quick work of colouring the Memory Maze chipboard.

I started off with my Art by Marlene 300gsm watercolour paper from the A4 album. I sorted through some of the Tim Holtz layers - urban collection and picked out some pieces I liked then glued them to the paper.

 As I already had a photo picked out for this page I wanted to use the warm colours of the gloss spray to go with it. 

I then sprayed in layers of lightest to darkest colour not letting it dry before adding the next colour so they could fuse together. I let that page dry without a heat gun, it was a rather hot day in the craft cave anyhow so it didn't take too long before it was good to go. 

Whilst waiting I sprayed the chipboard word sweet dreams, which I had cut apart in order to place them top and bottom of the photo. after that I found some dictionary paper on my table which I had used as a stamp off page, ripped it to a size slightly bigger than my photo then stuck it down. I decided that as my little kitten - Kevin, is so cute (and very innocent when asleep) that he should have a little love heart. I broke open the pack of family tree Memory Maze chipboard and sprayed the love heart in both night (navy blue) and white acrylic gloss spray.

The finished page below.

This was a fun page to create with plenty of easy techniques and also using items close at hand

Items used:

Memory Maze chipboard - 'Sweet Dreams' and 'family tree' (love heart)

Dina Wakley acrylic gloss spray - white, cheddar, lemon, apricot, magenta, fuchsia and night

Art by Marlene A4 journal

Tim Holtz urban layers

{Love This}

Hey there fellow crafters! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog, Melissa A here with you today sharing a new super cute DT layout.

I used the 'Gentlemans Journey' card stock from 3Quarter Designs for this layout and stamped some film strips on the background.

I used lots of different Memory Maze chipboard on this layout (see below for product list), which made it so much more fun to create.

I heat embossed all the chipboard except for the circle frame, for that I used heat activated foil for a shiny effect.

I used various Autumn Lane flowers and Scrap Boys ephemera. I also used some art stones on and around my flowers.

I hope you liked my latest creation, thank you so much for stopping by. I will be back again soon with some more inspiration. Until then..Happy Crafting! :)

Hey there crafty people - Happy New Year!! 

Melissa A with you today sharing my first Memory Maze post for 2021.

For this sweet layout I used 3Quarter Designs' 'Star Dust' card stock and started with some background stenciling using silver paste.

I also used Mintay's 'Harmony' elements which I fussy cut and attached around my photo.

For the large Memory Maze gear chipboard and the Memory Maze title, I heat foiled them with silver foil, which gave them both a shiny mirror effect.

I cut up some gears and pipes chipboard and heat embossed them all with some Lindy's embossing powder, which was the perfect colour for this layout.

I then arranged and attached my embellishments and added some lace trimming before finishing off by adding some silver micro beads around and over my embellishments.

And there you have it! I hope you liked this layout, thank you so much for stopping by. I will be back with more inspiration soon. Until then...Happy Crafting! :)
