Family - Scrapbook Layout

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!

Sweet - Scrapbook Layout

Hey there! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog, Melissa A with you today, sharing a cute layout with you.


I have used card stock from a beautiful 3Quarter Designs collection and fussy cut elements from Mintay's Spring & Easter book.


I did some background stenciling with white gesso and sprinkled some green coloured glitter over the top while it was still wet and then heat set it.

I used 3 chipboard frames and heat foiled them 2 different colours.


I layered the fussy cut images around my photo using mounting tape on some of them to create the layers.

I used embossing powder on my chipboard title and attached some pretty Autumn Lane flowers around the frames.


I hope you liked my latest creation. I will be back again very soon with some more crafty inspiration. Until then...happy crafting!

I Am my own Muse.

 I AM MY OWN MUSE

I have used an 8x10 canvas, the background was done using Dina Wakley paints & my fingers to blend the colours into each other. I then used Memory Maze stencil 'SPOTS' & a baby wipe to take off some colour, the images are from Lorri Lennox's Dynamic pack. With pieces of tissue from my stash to add iterest in the background.

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!

It's the little things - Scrapbook Layout

Hey there crafty people! Welcome back to the Memory Maze blog, Melissa A with you today sharing a new scrapbook layout.


I have used the 'Serene Moments' collection from 3Quarter Designs for this layout. I cut and attached the large tags behind my photo and attached some of the fussy cut images from the collection around my photo, using mounting tape on some of them for added dimension.


I heat foiled the chipboard flourishes, heat embossed the chipboard chain frame and gates and used stickles on my chipboard title.


I attached some flowers to my layout and then sprinkled some red micro beads over and around them.


I hope you liked my latest creation for Memory Maze. I will be back again very soon with some more crafty inspiration.
