{Happy Thoughts}

Hey there everyone, welcome back to the Memory Maze blog - Melissa A here with you today with a bright coloured DT layout for Memory Maze Lasercuts. 

As you can see, I have used a large love heart chipboard from Memory Maze and have embossed it with some 'Carefree Verdigris' coloured embossing powder.

I have used the bright and beautiful coloured 'Whimsical Notions' card stock from 3Quarter Designs and the bright coloured 'Better Times' fussy cutting elements from Mintay - they worked perfectly together.

I layered the elements around my photos for dimension.

I used some background chipboard from Memory Maze to fill the heart and embossed it with a 'Shabby White' colour embossing powder. I also embossed the title with the same embossing powder that I used on the love heart.

I added some matching bright coloured handmade flowers from Autumn Lane to finish off and then sprinkled some small art stones over and around them.

I hope you liked this layout as much as I liked creating it. Bright colours always make me happy. Be sure to check out all the awesome products available from both Memory Maze and Autumn Lane.

I will be back very soon with some more crafty inspiration. Until then...Happy crafting! :)

Hey there crafty people! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog - Melissa A here with you today sharing a greenery inspired layout.

For this layout I used 49 and Markets' 'Sweet Reflections' card stock, as you can see it matched my layout perfectly.

I fussy cut Mintay's 'Urban Jungle' elements and arranged them around my photo.

I used some chipboard flourishes from Memory Maze and covered them in gold heat foil. I also used some of their chipboard leaves and embossed them with Stampendous Fran-tage 'Aged hunter embossing enamel'.

I added some chipboard butterflies and coloured them with some sparkle paste and I used some gold finger wax for my title.

I added some beautiful Autumn Lane hand made flowers, which matched this colour scheme perfectly.

Hey there crafty friends! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog, thank you so much for stopping by and I hope all is well with you in your part of the world.

Today I'm sharing my new DT layout for Memory Maze, I hope you like it.

For this layout I have used 49 and Market's card stock from their 'Serendipitous' collection. I did some stenciling with white gesso to start with and it turned out really nice on this card stock. It really shows through.

I then arranged some fussy cutting elements from Uniquely Creative's 'Gums & Roses' collections and also arranged some layered embellishments from 49 & Markets' 'Eucalyptus Dreams' set.

I used a large tree chipboard from Memory Maze and also a few chipboard birds, which I used as a sort of border for my photo. I coloured the tree using some metallic paint in 'Antique Lilac' and coloured the birds with some shimmer powder in 'Plum Twist'.

For the title, I used Lindy's magical in 'Salt water taffy'. I then added some beautiful handmade flowers from Autumn Lane, which matched this layout perfectly.

And there you have it! I hope you liked my latest creation and it has inspired in some way with your own crafts.

Be sure to check out all the awesome chipboard available from Memory Maze.

I'll be back again very soon with some more crafty inspirations. Until then..happy crafting! :)

Time waits for No One - by Hetty Hall

Hi all and welcome to the Memory Maze Chipboard blog, it is Hetty with you today. I decided on a multiple photo layout this time as a lot of people seem interested in those, I think I am addicted now. So for my feature I decided in on this gorgeous clock work, isn't it amazng? I simply added some sunset paint colour to it to blend it in with the papers I used which btw are from Scrap and Me. I didn't want to cover too much of the chipboard clock so kept it to the side a bit, I think I managed to show it of in a good light. I did slightly cut it down a bit and used one of the cut offs at the bottom of my page and added the title. 

Time waits for NO One

Distress tags

 Hi Team, Fiona on the blog today. I have been having a lovely time reengaging with my Tim Holtz distress inks and tags. I created a few backgrounds with multiple layers of distress inks drying between layers. I decided to try a couple of different techniques whilst I was playing. As I was making tags I used the memory maze chipboard word flags mixing up a couple by spraying over the top with water and rubbing off the top layer to add some grunge to them! These are going to look great on some presents this year and so easy to do.

I used a paint technique Tim had in his compendium books from years ago. I used the dauber top distress paints (for convenience but you could use any acrylic paint for this) on a cling stamp stamping lightly so not to smudge the image. Once dry I went over the top with walnut stain ink and the blending foam to bring out the picture.

The next technique I completed the background and then ran the tag through the 3D texture fade embossing folder. I realised I had done it up the wrong way however still happy with the effect. I then ran walnut stain ink over the top to bring out the brickwork. Th Cardinal is a limited release die no longer available sadly - all coloured with distress ink.

for the last technique, I used some tissue paper and die cuts over the top of the background spraying some of the new Kitch flamingo distress oxide spray over the top. 

Items used:

Memory maze chipboard word flags

Tim Holtz distress ink - various colours

Tim Holtz 3D texture fad embossing folder

Tim Holtz die cuts

tags and imagination!
