18 for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

Well my baby turned 18 this month so I made him a sign in book where his friends took a photo 

with him and then wrote him a message along with it 

I didn't do the cover till after the party and everyone had signed so that it didn't get ruined 

Make sure you visit the Memory Maze Blog and check out all the great inspiration from the rest of the Design Team each week and see all the latest Chipboard and other goodies that are put out for your favourite store to get in stock

I started by painting all my chipboard and straws with black gesso

Then used the Checkerplate stencil with some modelling paste for some texture on the background

Then repainted it with the black gesso again

I painted all the chipboard I used with black gesso 
Then I stuck the Clock with Cogs on I had to cut it in a few places to fit through the rings
I liked the way it over hung on the book it made it look different not just a standard book

Around the Checkerplate stencilled area I used the Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Brush Marker in Gold for a little sparkle

Then on all the Mini Clocks and the hands on the Bike, Cogs, Clock Moustache I used gold leaf because at his party he had black and gold

 

I used the Story Alphabet for his name and the numbers 18

Then the little frame that is around his photo was from the Mini Clocks It was around one of the clocks (he's posing in this photo it was the day he tried on his suit for his sister's wedding and I love the photo)
